Chapter 9: The journey to the land of the damned..

The three arrived at the Castle of Allies where the armies from other islands stayed and waited to be deployed. The castle is too big that it has a big outpost for the army to stay in, the base also have a big crop and animal farm which can keep the men alive.

Tyrant: This place have change since my last visit. How much do we have here?

Lyra: About Fifteen Thousand men there's still a lot of men to come.

Alvin: How do you feed them?

Lyra: Growth Magic which speeds up the growth of crops or animal, you can also make them grow in instant but it cost you your blood.

Tyrant: This is how much we need, we'll take them I'll open a portal to zenith isles to transport here. When is last batch of gonna come?

Lyra: In the afternoon.

Tyrant: We march to land of the damned tomorrow mid-day we enter the hell in thera... if you excuse me I will seek the shadow covenant's leader and seek the fighters I needed and alvin you need to send the men.

Tyrant opened a portal and entered it. There he appeared outside of a fortress it was old and overgrown by nature, he entered it and he saw a staircase. He stepped foot in it, he saw that it was dark so he lit up a torch. He wondered through though the halls.

Eventually he arrived at a throne, he question if anyone is here then a black mist approached him and asked him.

Shadow mist: Who are you looking for?

Tyrant: King Mythus, is he here? I am here to settle an alliance with him.

Shadow mist: The king is here. Do you want me to call him.

Tyrant: Yes.

The mist flew away and entered a hall way to another room and moments later King Mythus arrived.

Mythus: Tyrant Shadow Flame! What do you need?

Tyrant: I want to settle an alliance to defeat nephelis the god if hatred. I want to defeat him so the influence of evil would be weaker.

Mythus: Nephelis?! Do you know how strong he is? We dint even want to mess with him, but it seems like the Gods have chosen you base on your new armor and.. the Celestial Crusher! You now have a Godly weapon.

Tyrant: That's why I have these equipment with me, only problem is his so powerful.

Mythus: When are you going to march against him?

Tyrant: Tomorrow mid-day with all of the men we recruited from the other lands.

Mythus: I will join your alliance wjth the other islands.

The next day. The day of the war against nephelis is coming Tyrant commanded every men to prepare for war and they did, the giants prepared the ships for war, and the other men prepared their weapons like bow, spear, swords, and axes, the mages took their spell books and potions, the winks also prepared their heals as the battle would be very bloody.

Noon came and the alliance have prepared their things, and the alliance have their final lunch and their final party. The men gathered at the open court outside of the castle and tyrant stands in front of the Twenty Thousand Men to deliver a message.

Tyrant: Knights of Peace today we are gathered here to prepare for the war against nephelis and his army, today we march through the deepest part of hell called "The Deep Hell" a place where nephelis lives and his army, today we march against the father of evil, and hatred, today we rush through the depths of hell and annihilate every remaining troops of hatred. We need to work as one we will not let the Gods down and together we bring peace to these lands forever!

The knights cheered at tyrant's words it empowered them, the men boarded the ships. They have a long journey to the west, many moments later the ship have set sail the sun is going down and it was getting dark but it did not stopped them from sailing. Tyrant, Lyra, Mythus, and Alvin is on the same ship leading the ones with the troops.

The sun was rising and the ships have stopped on an island, the island's atmosphere was hot, the stones is red and black, magma is everywhere on the island, there's no creature around which made them think that this was an island full if life and now its taken over by hell's portal. Before they entered portal a magithrope casted a cold magic

The group entered the portal they dint melt though because of the cold magic that the magithropes casted. The portal took them in a plain space called "The Soul Farms" a place where the souls of the damned gets farmed as food for demons. They know not to save those souls as they would turn to one of those souls.

They wondered and passed through the fields they arrived at the place called the forest of souls, the trees looked like bones and their leaves looked like a blob if flesh with eyes on them, they saw another portal that glowed red and 1 men entered the it, tyrant also followed it there they saw hanging bodies of animals, humans, they saw the roof of hell they knew that they were getting closer to Tartarus.

The group kept wondering until they heard a hiss that came from a snake, they looked on top then a dragon headed snake is watching them from above the group stayed out of the snakes sight and it fell on the ground. Tyrant saw the giant dragon headed snake and pulled out his hammer.

The snake begun spiting acid to the group which killed multiple men on the process then tyrant jumped towards the snakes head and hit it with his hammer. The impact was so strong that when it hit the ground it formed the snake's body, the snake was driven mad, it opened its mouth then tons of small snakes came out if its mouth, the men fought them successfully, the snake then hissed louder and louder as it was calling for reinforcement.

Tyrant hit its mouth before it can call more of its kind, tyrant then kept hitting its neck, tyrant then shot purple beam at the creature's body. The creature got burnt and turned to ashes.

After he slayed the creature he commanded his men to move forward as they were getting close to the entrance of Tartarus.
