LOST INNOCENCE: BLURRED HUMANITY

THE RISE OF DARKNESS

A great silence was present in the whole void. There was not a single movement in the dimension. It seems that even the time is stagnant here. It's the abode of Kirakusi,the Befallen leader God of the Ancient Supreme Gods. She was looking intently at the lifeless body of a warrior. The body belonged to none other than Phantom himself.
He was lying peacefully there.

"So much greatness of doing the good acts. It seems that he was against the Posiden. Alas, how low have fallen the so called ancient supreme gods. They are now attacking warriors who are capable of standing face to face with them. I must help this child. His soul is still in purgatory. But first I've to see who he really is!", She said to herself as a orb materialized before herself. She was shocked to see the life of this fallen warrior.

"That much pain. So much agony,how painful! Ohhh, Makashi and Chivoka,my dearest pupils are his loved ones. Wait,he has the summoning contact too. Good, this one is too much powerful for himself. But he's still good, impressive work lad ", she was smiling in ages.

"But his life has been hard most of the times. Yet he fight for what is right. He's a real keeper of light. How dare Posiden attack him! That insolent arrogant God! I'll now let the whole universe know that how much havoc can be created by the power of the Befallen God. The time has come for me to rise once again and now it's time I pass my inheritance to someone and I think I've already found one. This great warrior has the ability to handle my powers. He's the one destined to become the one that this world and all the World should fear. I shall bestow him the powers that one can't even imagine", she was blazing like sun while determination glowed brilliantly through her.

Her powers were unimaginable and unfathomable. Simply majestic and legendary that one can't compare to anything else. She's way above everything that is present and seeing bad deed done to the keeper of the light,she was beyond furious. The sky was scattering under her powers. Mountains were vibrating by the shockwaves generated by her anger.

"It's time I should bless Phantom,or I should probably say, Dev", she said while bringing forth her right hand towards his face. The face which was withered with blood and damage and had turned pale started to came back to life. His wounds started healing at divine pace. In a short interval of time, his whole body had regained his old self.

There were quite a number of changes in his characteristics. His body had become more rugged and strong. His eyes had changed its Colour to crimson red ,with his pupils changed to cross shaped with swords embedded in between them. His shoulders and hands were filled with markings of the Ancient Relics and his chest was covered by a armour which was unnoticed to anyone except supreme beings, Lords, Queens etc . His previous swords, Ashbringer and Soul Eater returned to their original form but this time they too had marking of the ancient relics on them. At the handle, two serpent stand next to the dragons. His black sword looked more lethal than before as it had become azure blue in the middle which gave it a strong sensation. His gauntlets and  trench overcoat had  now  whirls of  black  on  them in addition to  the I dragon flames. She was happy with the changes.

"Now for the main part. Time to bring his life back  from purgatory", she smiled while whispering "REVIVAL:POWER OF AZURA", and a bright light emancipated in the whole area and when it faded , Phantom was standing in all his glory.

"Where am I? Am I dead ? This power,it seems different, though I can feel my old power surging", he stretched his legs and hands and when he looked up, he immediately get on his guard,which made the person standing in front of him, smile. This situation put him in a condition of disbelief and puzzled.

"Good thing,you got here kid",a voice boomed throughout the land. It seemed just unreal. The voice,it seems so much mesmerizing yet deadly. He immediately bowed towards her as he couldn't think about anything else.

"No need for any formalities, kid. You've already got my respect. And most of all you were dead for quite a while. For all the time, about  a month you were dead. But being fortunate enough,you had awaken me from my slumber,due to your last battle cry. You've always fought for the good but now you've to embrace the darkness. It's the only way for you to survive. You've made ancient supreme gods as your enemy,so you've to be the best. Even more stronger than those ancient gods themselves. Darkness is the key for your victory. You've to use this power as your greatest asset. While you're brave enough to face any challenge, but bravery combined with darkness will make you the strongest among all. You'll be feared amongst the Gods and Demons both", she explained everything to him.

"So, what I've got to do now? Are there any quest I've to complete before I have full access to my powers?", Phantom asked her.

"Yes, indeed there are. But first of all ,take this", she offered him a  sword like no other. It was glistening with red stripes at its end and it has a serpent marked on its handle.

"She's Yokina,the HEAVENVCUTTER,the greatest Serpent Queen,Lord of the demons of the underworld and mother of all the dragons. She's the mother of Princess Chivoka and Queen Makashi. And she's my friend,the best one", she eye smiled while looking at him.

He was awestruck by the sheer strength and beauty of Yokina. A legendary masterpiece,no other sword could be placed on par with it. He was feeling a power that he hadn't felt before.

"Hello young man! Kirakusi is such a sweetheart,she must've told you everything. But I've my own test too. I'll....", she  couldn't complete her sentence as words died in her mouth.

"The Ashbringer and the Soul Eater, you've both of them. You've managed to defeat Makashi. It must've been a hell of a show", she laughed at herself yet she was astonished by the feat that has  been achieved by him.

"You're friends with Makashi and my beloved Chivoka! How so? Just who are you, young man? And I can sense Ryu's energy. You are truly a legend and since you've been able to make
them as their friends. You're blessed with Guardians of the Royal Dragons. Truly a remarkable feat", she said proudly but she felt pretty good amount of shadow energy in this warrior. A potential that could engulf the whole world in it. This is soo much power,I think strong enough to take on all the ancient supreme gods themselves.

"From now on you'll be called The Black Knight aka the Flying Death. Here take this and thus your journey from the light to the eternal darkness starts now", Kirakusi said to him while handing him a map that lead to the Evil Spirits Realm.

"The time has now began", the black knight vanished in shadows.
