The 5th Hero

Chapter 20: Hell And Back

I managed to beat the dragon guardian and get the stone of time only to be dragged by a chain into a portal leading to some new world. In the portal all I could see was red then I heard a deep voice saying "welcome to my world, I welcome you to die". Finally I came out the other end of the portal I looked around to see where I was but all there was hard ground with fire and lava everywhere like I was at the gates of hell. I then looked for the source of the voice I heard "who brought me here show yourself" I called out there was a laugh I looked for the source of the laugh "come on coward" I said suddenly a wave of fire came at me I quickly dodged it I saw where the attack came from and something walk forward it was tall covered in red armor with horns and spikes it had two large blades covered in flames it had glowing red eyes.

"You dare talk to me like that do you know who I am?" The figure said "no not really" I answered "well mortal allow me to educate you I am the ruler of this prison dimension my name is Abigor the fire demon and commander of 60 of hell's armies and you have something I want" the demon said pointing a sword at me "and what would that be Abigor?" I asked tightening my grip on my staff "you have the stone of time that the accursed Ancient One used to imprison me here along with four other stones of infinity" Abigor answered "I can't give those to you I kind of absorbed them with my staff" I said "well then I guess this complicates things, now I'm going to have to rip them from your very soul" Abigor said walking towards me. Now I had a fight on my hands "listen now mortal there are only two ways out of here either you die or kill me, with the second being impossible" the demons said while swinging a sword down at me I jumped back and equiped the staff I got from absorbing the shadow demon hand

Abigor went to attack again when he did his sword went through me "what is this?" he said in frustration "sorry but I'm like a shadow now like a shadow in the night" I said fading into the darkness. "Show yourself and die!" Abigor yelled now in the shadows I sent out attacks in the form of fists punching the demon I did that for a while until Abigor stabbed his sword into the ground sending out a burst of flames. The attack made me come out of hiding "there you are human" Abigor said throwing his sword at me with a chain on the handle I dodged it but Abigor began to spin it around. I was running out of options so I acted fast but sadly I was to late Abigor stabbed me in the chest  my healing magic wasn't quick enough he stabbed me through the heart I began to die again "you fought well but you will die alone here" Abigor said I laughed "what's so funny?" he asked "well I almost died because a dragon stopped my healing magic" I answered "ah the great azure dragon, I'll let you in on a secret he was the one stopping me from going to your world and getting the time stone" Abigor said "to bad your time is over" he said then it hit me I quickly used my magic and casted a spell I soon closed my eyes and faded out.

Time Skip

I came out from the shadows after that attack Abigor used he then began to swing his sword around. I dodged all of his attacks I equiped my blades staff and began creating weapons I sent them at Abigor only for him to slice them up he then swung his other sword and managed to cut off my arm I fell to the ground "you fought well but you will die alone here" Abigor said walking up to me  I started to laugh "what's so funny?" he asked "never mind, I'll tell you a secret the dragon you fought was the only one keeping me here thank you for that" Abigor said as he finished me off by stabbing me in the heart as I died I casted a spell and then closed my eyes.

Time Skip

I came out from the shadows after Abigor used that attack I equiped my mystic lighting staff and summoned my thunder bird to my side. We began to attack Abigor from all sides our barrage of attacks was working until Abigor threw his sword at me but an inferno spell was placed on it my thunder bird flew in front of me and took most of the attack but the blade stabbed me through the shoulder and got stuck in a wall. My thunder bird vanished I was left hanging from a wall with a sword in my shoulder Abigor walked over to me "you fought well but you will die here alone" he said I started to laugh "what's so funny?" Abigor asked "I feel like I've done this before, never mind that I'll tell you a secret the azure dragon was the only one keeping me locked up in here" Abigor said as he finally plunged his sword in my chest before he gutted me I casted a spell then closed my eyes.

Time Skip

I came out of the shadows after Abigor's attack scorched everything I decided to summon my basilisk and twin tailed scorpion to battle with me. The scorpion's venom dissolved some parts of Abigor's armor while basilisk broke one of Abigor's swords. A now angered Abigor morphed his whole body into flames and charged straight for me "now you die" he said as he cleaved into my body. "You fought well but you will die here alone" Abigor said I started to laugh  "what's so funny?" he asked "never mind let me tell you a secret....wait you little human" Abigor said angrily now realising what I had done "you created a time loop" he said  "yep and now it's time for the finisher" I said equipping my new dragon staff I got today

I began to tunnel wind around my body I sent a blast at Abigor "you will pay for this!" he said with venom in his voice. I sent out a wind attack and put out his flames this surprised him I then created a large blade made of wind and cut of one of his horns this angered Abigor even more then I began to create a ball of wind and formed it into an arrow like form and sent it straight for Abigor he tried to slice it but it pierced his armor there was black blood coming from the wound. I walked over to the injured Abigor "finish it" he said with blood coming from his mouth  "I think not you'll do some good" I said equipping the beast master staff I casted the spell and gold chains came out and wrapped around Abigor he tried to fight it but stopped finally he was captured a message popped up "hell knight acquired now immune to hell flames" I then picked up the horn from Abigor and absorbed it "devil staff obtained now able to use hell fire summon hell chains and swords" was what the message said. I stood there and let out a deep sigh I felt like I was going to die over and over again soon the same portal that brought me her opened and I went through I noticed that the dimension was falling apart I guess it had served it's purpose.

Time Skip

I came out on the other end and was instantly jumped on by Luna and Nitra they were crying. They thought I was gone for ever but I came back I told them about what had happened in that dimension and my fight with Abigor and how I died constantly. Eventually we decided to look around the temple I found an row six stone scripts they all had been faded out but but I managed to read the sixth one "A soul for a....that is the ultimate sacrifice but to overcome it you must not fear the....to gain the last piece of infinity". With that message it gave me somewhat of a clue on the last stop but I would need more information so I decided to continue on with my journey to Shieldfreeden with the girls.
