The Guardian gods

Chapter 82

This human is from the other side of the sunny side, a human who managed to escape was able to bring information of an ashy demon going around killing and enslaving people, if that was all the humans would have never paid it no mind, what got their attention was how the supposed demon was moving closer to their own territory, like the demon wasn't happy with the land and tribes it conquered.

Scouts were sent out once they received information about the demon but none of the scouts were able to make it back as the demon somehow as able to spot them and kill them, that was when the One of the leaders offered to use a treasure his clan found which was the necklace this human had on, the person wearing the necklace gain the ability to hide their breath that they can even use it to get close to magical creatures an off them with the creature knowing that anyone was near them. That still wasn't enough guarantee for the two leaders, so they found the binoculars, to which the human can use to observe from afar rather than getting close to the demon, so with these two treasures the human scout has been following Björn in his slaughter journey and occasionally sending back information and now this human saw something crucial that may be able to deter the demon away from them.

Meanwhile The demon possessing Björn was now perplexed as its thought was preoccupied with the thought of gods being in this world, 'I will need an army, this is something I can no longer do alone, or maybe I should seek out the other body parts, that way I can quickly regain my strength'

The demon shook his head at the thought "Seeking the other skin isn't a good choice, they won't just allow me to assimilate with them willingly, I myself wouldn't want to be assimilated either, it really is a different feeling having a whole full body and a thought of my own besides, besides if I am the one to offer the abyss this world, i would have no need for the main consciousness' A big scary grin came upon the demon face at the thought of becoming a full whole abyss demon of its own.

"Looks like I will have to make my own army" The demon thought to itself as it sat up from the stone rubble before walking to Björn tent while gesturing at the few leaders of the settlement to join him. The possessed Björn sat in his tent with the co-leaders looking uncomfortable in their seat as they have no idea on why this creature that took over their leader wanted.

The demon not minding the fear of the human around him displayed, looked coldly at them, "You all are gathered here for a quick message and job I need you all to accomplish immediately

"First, pick among yourself which one will lead a group to go out hunting for those magical creatures, bring back the whole corpse of every magical creature you have hunted. You are to continue doing that until I have said that it is enough"

"As for the rest, dig up a big pool and have the women fill it up with water' The demon said as he looked at the humans.

The tent was quite for a while as no one responded, one of the human men manged to speak out "Umm, Björn I don't think we can do what you just said besides even if we can, we will lose a lot of men in the process"

Björn showed no reaction to what the human said, but he adjusted himself into his seat as he coldly spat out "I am sure, I never asked for your opinion and i wasn't asking it was an order"

"Also, you' Björn said as he pointed at the human that spoke up. "Since you are worried about how many will die in the process, make sure that you are one of those that died else you will meet a painful death in my hands"

The tent fell silent again as Björn said nothing, but everyone immediately stood up from the seat to immediately go do what was required of them, as for the human that spoke up he was still frozen in his seat breathing heavily.

"I will blink, make sure you aren't in my eyesight when my eye opens up' Björn said out loud particularly to no one, but the frozen human immediately stumbled from his seat as he ran out from the tent.

After the tent was empty again, Björn with a mad look in his eyes sniffed the air but was left. disappointed. "So much fear in the air, yet I can't do nothing with them' Björn looked down at his ashy body.

"Not enough, this body need to be transformed more, i can't even eat the souls of the humans that I have killed now I am also being depraved from feeding from fear, after this ceremony, I have to continue my slaughter, a lot of blood and flesh is needed for further changes" Björn thought to himself with a mad look in his eyes.

The reason, the possessed Björn asked for the human to gather magical beast corpse was because he wanted to create an army, this way of creating an army has its own advantage and disadvantage which is that the people transformed in the process will have a lot mental problem, like decrease IQ, acting like beast and having an unusual taste for flesh and blood, as for the advantage, the process is quick and if you have enough strong will to hold own the crazy thought, then congratulation you are welcomed into the stage of those who can become stronger.

So, in a way, the demon was helping the humans by introducing to them a new system of power. As for the consequences, it is up to the humans to bear. If possible, the demon would rather sacrifice every human in this settlement to the abyss in exchange for abyssal demon who would act like his soldiers.

But the demon doesn't really trust its own race, especially that there is a chance of the sacrifice attracting the attention of a stronger demon, who won't hesitate to kill him off at his now weakened state and take over job of taking over this world.

Still this ceremony still has a risk of its own as it needs for him to introduce leak a bit of the abyss breath into the ceremony and that is also a risk of its own as any demon can pinpoint on that and gain access to this world.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The human who walked out of the tent immediately gathered together, one of the humans who is Björn blood brother spoke up. "How do we do this, I volunteer to lead the hunting team as I am the best we have after my brother'

One of the humans, spoke up "Olaf, are you really planning on following that demon's words, I hope you know that isn't your brother any longer"

"Yes Olaf, why don't we use this opportunity to run, the demon surely can't keep any eye on us from inside the tent" Another human chimed in.

Olaf, Björn brother spoke up with a serious expression on his face 'I know that is no longer my brother, I would rather comply with the demon words that to disobey it. We can we run to if we escape, how long do you think it will take for that demon to conquer the whole sunny place, no one has even managed to put up a fight against that thing'

"Even if we manage to run out from the sunny place, what awaits us is the cold icy weather when we won't even last a whole day before turning into ice, no place is safe for us so I would rather follow that demon and have a place to sleep and eat than being in a continuous run and fear of my life" Olaf said as he walked out from the group to pick out men who will go hunt with him.

As for the humans he left behind, they all just stood in place with a look of thinking in their eyes, "He's right, following that demon is better than being against him, I would rather not be in the state of Finn over there" One of the humans said as he pointed at Finn who was the one sentenced to

death by Björn.

The group all looked at Finn, before they all shuddered at the same time, before sprinting away to Join Olaf and immediately dig up the pool required of them.

As for Finn, he stood outside the tent while whispering to himself 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die" Continuously over and over again until something seemed to snap inside of him as he began running out from the settlement while screaming "I don't want to die"
