First Stygian Diviner:Apocalypse

In the border of that forest, there was only Isiah and Lexie facing that dark creature, which Isiah treated as if he was not afraid of him at all.

He knew that he was strong but the main issue with him was his speed. That day, this big mouth creature was not considered stronger than the giant but he was faster and that was his strong suit.

The moment that creature saw Isiah, he headed towards him fast, his crazy eyes were looking everywhere as if he was trying to look out for his next victim .

Isiah smiled the moment he saw him then said right away as he was holding his grimoire:" Cripanto lamkawa"

Which meant a bath of lava .

This spell was one of the strongest spells he ever practiced, it requires so much dark energy and his rage was not that far, he had to allure that creature to get closer to him.

Isiah learned this spell after a long time of practice because everytime lava showed up, he had so much trouble controlling it.

He burned himself a lot after each time he cast that spell, it hurt him like hell and that is why he knew that this spell was going to work on him .

It was not something similar to boiled water, the lava he was summoning was capable of damaging even dark creatures .

Isiah kept tracking the big mouth creature with his eyes while he was getting closer to him, he had to make him approach a certain perimeter to cast the spell so it would be effective.

' I haven't done this spell successfully before, I injured myself a lot of times, and the burning is very painful, I have to concentrate so that the collateral damage won't be that bad '

Isiah didn't care about the strength of that creature but he felt worried about the post-injury that was going to follow him .

It didn't take much for that big mouth creature to get closer and the moment Isiah saw that there were only a few meters separating them so he said very loud :"Cripanto lamkawa"

He raised his arm to face the direction of that creature, lava started to flow from a dark circle full of runes parallel to his palm.

It was not that much and Isiah knew that it wouldn't reach the creature as he wanted so he got closer to him , just to make sure that it would reach him the way he planned.

Huge screams were heard even from afar, both the big mouth creature and Isiah had the same amount of damage , Isiah's hand was burned to the point of melting and the big mouth creature's insides melted inside of him because Isiah managed to push lava toward his mouth.

Gladly, the spell was not that durable, it disappeared after a few seconds leaving both of them in a state of immersive pain .

Isiah put his hand immediately on the ground, his facial expressions were very contracted, and he forgot about a lot of things at that moment.

He forgot about his constant hunger after he killed all of those mages, he forgot that he needed to do more than that to kill this creature , and he definitely forgot that he needed to stay quiet so that he wouldn't track other creatures toward him when he was in this state .

" Isiah!" He suddenly heard someone calling for his name, he was closing his eyes but he managed to recognize the voice after several attempts.

Yet the voice was so far that he didn't even think that there was a need for him to reply .

The big mouth creature kept on crawling and rolling his body on the ground to ease a lot of his pain , but the pain didn't stop.

After a few minutes, Isiah felt that the pain started to be reduced, from past experiences he had this idea in his mind that at a certain level the pain loses its power and becomes just like any other feeling without any impact.

The mind tricks you that it is the same amount when he gets really used to it ..

'How come the pain is just tolerable now? , my hand melted yet the speed of pain fading is not normal'

Isiah opened his eyes just seconds after that only to see that he was not alone, he looked at the person who was leaning toward him with a confused face .

He was still in his place like before but his hand was between the hands of that person .

His sight was foggy at first and he lost completely the sense of that hand due to the damage and that is why he didn't feel it when his hand got moved.

"Isiah, are you okay ?" Lexie said impulsively.

Isiah recognized her sound at that moment so he glared at her even when his vision was not clear then said:" Fu*** off , what are you doing here ?"

" Your hand…your hand is damaged, I was trying to help you "

Isiah was still in a terrible state yet he sat right away and then said:" Help me ? Help me ? Did I ask for this ?"

Lexie stood immediately when she sensed his rage then said :" It does not even help, I was not going to fix it , my powers are limited, I was just easing your pain, you were screaming like your soul was being extracted from your body, I had to it "

After all that time , Isiah's sight went back to normal and the pain didn't disappear, yet …now he was capable of enduring it .

His burned hand was not even moving, he stood with difficulty on his feet then said:" Still not dead "

Lexie started to move toward that creature wanting to end it herself, she summoned an arrow and a bow and pointed at it trying to kill it..

"What are you going to do ?" Isiah shouted at her when he noticed what she was going to do .

"He is still alive, I want to kill him, " Lexie answered.

However Isiah headed toward her with slow steps , his pain was written all over his face yet he was acting as if he was not even injured .

"Do you want me to kill you this bad, fuc*** off"

With one hand Isiah started to stab the big mouth creature, not even once or twice, he filled his body with holes.

Lexie felt terrible seeing that scene , he was brutal, and merciless, and she knew at that moment that this person was going to be her worst nightmare .

"He is dead" she said when realized that Isiah was not going to stop, he was acting very weird and she didn't know what to do.

Isiah took his sword and then raised it toward the sky. It was filled with dark blood but some parts of its blades were shining in the dark because it reflected the brightness of the triple full moons.

"Wait for me " He said with a crazy look on his face.

Isiah was looking at Emperium when said those words and what Lexie realized was that Isiah was threatening the whole region above them and not just looking at it because he wanted to level up…

For years she thought that Isiah was looking at the region above them because he wanted to go there, and that is why he was sad while looking at it , yet the new realization hit her very hard .

Isiah wanted to kill the people here on Delwias Island, and nothing was stopping him from doing this, and Emperium's fate was not going to be different .

Lexie saw him throw the sword on the ground after that, he started to walk with no other word , Lexie was very confused .

He passed her while looking at the trees in front of him, he didn't seem to care about her and she understood that very well.

" I can ease your pain, " Lexie said when she saw him walking very slowly.

Isiah didn't say anything, he just ignored her and continued walking until she added :" The injury you had is very bad, I am not that skilled in healing magic but at least I could take some of your pain"

Isiah didn't say a word, all that he thought about at that moment was the offer that Heigl gave him earlier that night.

Lexie was very confused because of her own actions, Isiah ignored her completely yet she kept talking to him ignoring the fact that he was going to kill her twice in the past two hours .

She ran toward him and took his injured hand. Isiah didn't sense her touch his hand but he felt her being next to him .

"Before saying anything, could you just give me a chance to help you, that won't be like an atonement of some sort, I just want you to survive the night, you helped me, remember?"

Isiah ground his teeth then looked at her with a cold look then said :" A chance ? I would rather feel this fuc***ing pain for the rest of my life than give you a second chance"

"Isiah…please"

" Don't you dare say my fuc***ing name on your filthy mouth ? "
