Rise of Baba Yaga ( a Highschool DXD fanfic )

Chapter 5

[ Somewhere inside the Forest ]

A man knelt around a circle of boulders he had erected, on those said boulders were Nordic runes he had carved with magic, those runes were not something one would want to use as it belongs to forbidden Nordic magic that was banned a century ago.

" All that is left is to supply it with magic. " The man said to himself as he limped to the centre of the circle. He cursed as the pain in his leg was getting unbearable. At the centre of the circle was a monolith that had a mixture of Nordic runes and foreign magic circles.

The man took out a blue crystal from his pocket and placed it in a slot carved on the monolith. He then took a deep breath and poured his magic power into the crystal. The runes on the Monolith gave a greyish glow, and so did the other runes that were carved onto the boulders that were placed in a circle around the Monolith.

This ritual was forbidden for a reason and was rightfully banned many years ago, as it took a piece of the caster's soul every time the ritual was performed. But this did not stop the man instead, he poured more of his magic into the monolith.

What was it like to have a piece of your soul sacrificed for this ritual? The man would say it would be like being suffocated and blood being drained, which was followed by feeling very very weak.

With the runes activated and half the ritual is done, he proceeded to the next half. The activation of the magic circles was less demanding than the Runes, but his magic reserves were getting low.

Thankfully he had enough magic to activate the magic circles.

" Duo Magic " He whispered, his breath was getting shallow, his vision blurry and his consciousness leaving him.

He gritted his teeth, forcing him to stay conscious. He could not give up now, not after everything he had done, after everything they had done to her, they will pay for everything they had taken from him.

" SANCTUARY OF THE DEAD!!! "

The monolith began to rumble, as smoke precipitated from the ground, it was very thick but it did not rise higher than his knees.

He took this time to rest as he smiled at his fished work. From the smoke, emerged five draug armed and ready for combat.

The man took a map of the entire forest, he marked the location he was currently at and was looking at the next location to start the ritual again.

" Just twenty more to go. " He said to himself, as he quickly pocketed the map, but in his hurry, he accidentally dropped his wallet. He carefully picked it up and opened it.

He gave a warm smile at a picture in it. It was a picture of his family. He, his wife and his baby boy were smiling, oh he missed those days. But they had to take them away from him.

" I'm sorry I could not save you or our son. " The man had to suppress the urge to cry, he had failed as a man and he had failed as a father. " Don't worry, I will deliver justice, the justice you both deserve. "

His smile was soon replaced by a cold and emotionless face, he remembered everything, how they called him a madman, they called his wife a witch. They took everything from him and he will destroy everything they loved.

" Odin, I will destroy everything you ever loved. " His words were filled with venom, as he uttered that word.

He was going to be the cause of RAGNAROK.

{ Back to Nikolai }

Magic was a really weird topic for Nikolai, he would not classify himself as a magician or even a beginner magician. He had only one spell in his arsenal, UNDEAD WILL. Though his understanding of the spell is limited, what he does know is that it suppresses all types of emotions turning any person like him into an emotionless and fearless warrior. Not to mention it gave him an absolute calmness that was very addictive.
