Chapter 3: Ancestor Graveyard

At the desolate place, the land was devoid of any living beings.

The soil was full of cracked. The dense red cloud poured down, filling the land with blood.

The Blood-red light covered the whole sky. Two moons were seen together with numerous stars in the night sky. One was blue while the other is red, making the desolate land eerier and frightful.

Thud!

A figure young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He has silky white hair and crimson red eyes that were full of anxiety and alarm. Julian calmed his mind while observing the area around him.

"How is it possible that there are two moons here" Julian speaks silently while starring at the two mysterious moons.

Caw!

Caw!

Caw!

Cries of a crow can be heard from afar. Julian looks in the direction where the noise coming from. He noticed a path not far away from him. Tallgrass grows at the sides of it and creepily squirming its leaves like a worm. Seeing the path, he gritted his teeth and walked to it.

The soaked lonely figure of Julian traveling with the help of dim light provided by the two moons. The place where Julian has been before returned to being dead silent

...

At this moment, Julian was standing on one of the hilltops with a strange and shocked expression.

In front of him was a massive stone monument. It is built with an unknown stone that releases sky-blue light and shines rhythmically. Observing closely at the stone monument, there is some inscription carved on it.

"The Gods and Demons see war, but on Erda Terra, there is only bloodshed and carnage. Humans are caught between Gods and Demons, struggling for survival. Radiance fades into the bloodstain of a demon. To be useful at the battlefield, not used by some devil. I fell numerous times and rise up once again. Even it is painful, even if it's excruciating, don't seek to take the lenient path. I am the tip of the spear, lifted against submission!.. My Will sets my spear alight!... I know who I am, and I will show the gods and demons what I can become!"

--Delmon Ladaraj, The first king of Maharlika. The era of Chaos, Year 141, Spring.

Julian was shocked and astounded by what he just read. He never expects humanity to survive and thrive between the war of Gods and Demons. His hair stands on end because of the inscription and thoughts in his mind.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The sound of air rushing at the top hill calms Julian's mind. He takes another look at the stone monument and proceeds to follow the path.

'What the is that thing!' Julian's face is painted with shock and disbelieve.

At the end of the path. A strange and mysterious building can be seen. It's entirely pitch black and 400 meters tall. Strange and indescribable runes that shine blue light make it more magical floated around it. Julian has never seen a tall building like this before. The Walls in the kingdom was nothing compared to this building.

Julian walks around the strange build and only see a dark and dim entrance leading inside the building. He relaxed and calmed his mind before entering the strange building.

When Julian entered the mysterious building. His eyes can't see anything except for an unusual red carpet leading him somewhere. He can feel the shadow creeping in the dark but ignoring it and proceed to follow the red carpet.

After a long walk, Julian was standing in front of a huge painting. It shows vivid pictures of a man with white hair and crimson eyes holding a spear and shields while pointing the spear towards the sky. Bearing a fierce demeanor that makes enemies frighten. Close behind the man's figure were warriors holding swords and spears standing along with the mountain demon's corpses. When observed closely, you can notice that the man adorned with great armor was holding a crimson orb with strange rune were craved on it. The painting was so realistic that the man's figure looked like gonna jump any seconds soon.

ROAR!

Julian suddenly heard a loud war cry while he stares at the painting. His mind blurred and clouded hearing it. His consciousness slowly dissipates after a short moment, and he falls to the ground. The painting glows with a dim blue light that similar to the moonlight.

...

At the ancient battlefield, the land was covered with blood and corpses of demons. Torn flesh and body parts littered around the ground.

Thousands of warriors assembled with the same banner. Wearing silver armor and holding swords, spears, and shields. Thumping their feet along with the beat of the drum. Some used their swords and spear to clash with their shields while following the rhythm of the drum.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The sound of the war drum echoed on the battlefields. Stimulating and boosting knights morale. Julians wakes up hearing the war drum. He immediately observed the situation around him and was shocked by the current circumstances.

"Knights of Crimson Blood!. Raised your weapon and Sheilds!." A yell of a brave man echoed on the battlefield.

When Julian looks at the direction of the voice. He saw the man's face and demeanor accurately matches the champion in the painting before. His white hair flutters in the air while his crimson eyes glaze with intense fighting power.

"Follow my lead! We will charge straight through the enemy's frontlines..." The man let out another shout and charge into the enemy.

" Follow his Majesty!" A man wearing a silver spear shout while looking at the heroic figure of the white-haired man.

"Fight for The Kingdom!" Another knight shout while charging toward the demon.

"Ahhhh!..."

Knights let out their shout and howls. Clearly affected by the man's war cry earlier. Emotions are surely contiguous and complex. The high morale turns the tides of the battle into the warrior's favor.

Swoosh!

The knights swing their spears and swords toward the demons. The sound of clashes echoed on the battlefield.

Sweep!

Thrust!

The man's spear slaughter and massacre every demon's in his path. His wild and untamed aura dominates the battlefield. The demons have no chance to counter and fight back. Soon the fields were yet again filled with blood and flesh of demons. The demon's corpse accumulates and formed into a mountain.

" Foolish humans!.. Just Die and Accept your stupid fate's!." A deep and terrifying voice of Demon suddenly echoed in the battlefield.

A meteor suddenly appeared in the sky and flying at high speed. It quickly collides with the ground injuring and causing huge casualties among the human. A big crater formed from the heavy impact and turned the surrounding into a sea of flames.

BOOOOOM!!
