Chapter 312 312: Deraka I



Cole's return was to a deep rumble, the entire ship shook as something hit it from the side. Cole's eyes widened as he could an intense amount of energy currently surrounding the ship. He got up and rushed out, only to come up short as he noticed that the ship had transformed from its boat like form, into a giant Asian dragon.

This was most probably it's submarine form. Cole was about to ask what was wrong, the deck had transformed itself into a sort of command center, but he could still see through the eyes of the dragon . his questions died down in his throat when he saw the literal thousands of Mermaids and mermen chasing after them.

"What the fuck did you do?" Cole yelled out as he tired but failed to not sound worried. Half the people chasing after them were well into the fucking Gold rank, that was totally unexpected but still what the fuck? Was Ravena having suicidal tendencies or something.

"I kidnapped their princess! The most loved princess! Then I told the king to surrender himself in exchange for her, or I will fuck his harem up. He didn't like that, you know Mermen are very particular about their harem, especially when I told him I knew he fucked fishes by the side….a lot of fishes...a whale too….or rather some whales. He just loves putting it deep in the blowhole.

I'd heard that in a song somewhere before. I was never quite able to get it out of my head you know. But then he got angry and sent his entire army after me, I've been running, but it's quite exhausting really and I'm tired. What's even worse is that the damn king did not get off his fat ass to chase after me, only his grunts are here. So boss what do we do next...cause I cant hold out for much longer, these little buggers are fast."

Stupidity and impulsiveness of the highest order, words completely eluded Cole at the moment as he had absolutely no idea what to say to the damn ship. This was a problem for them, but ultimately it was not so much of a problem that Cole could not figure out what to do. It seems that it was time to bring out the big guns, maybe try a skill out that he has been itching to.

"Lay down some suppression fire and give me a little bit of time, I think I might be able to come up with something that would save your hide, before fishes have them for dinner. Or before the king adds you to his harem." Cole added as an afterthought, perhaps it was just his imagination but he could have sworn the ship stiffened.

Then she turned around with a scream going after the merfolk whilst figuring off every weapon she had access to. Cole found it funny, but ultimately he let her do her thing as he sat down cross legged and decided to use another one of his recently acquired diamond rank skill.

[Summon Eldritch Horror]

Cole suddenly found himself in a storm, all around was an effigy of darkness and red lightning and purple wind and blue clouds. Cole was familiar with this, this was Chaos energy, but there was something much more worse about this place. It seemed to exist but at the same time it did not.

It had something then nothing, Chaos and Void, Madness and Horror. This was the place where the nightmares of the universe were born, then total sum of everything that is negative. He felt small, way out of his league and depth. Cole knew that no matter how powerful he became this place was something that would be insurmountable to him.

This was like the opposite of the soul realm, but at the same time it seemed the same. There was understanding that this place was the frame work of negativity, the other side of a balanced coin. Void and Chaos, Order and Creation. He has seen order and creation before, but that was in the soul realm.

Then this place…..two sides of the same coin. Cole felt a chill crawl up from his spine. That bastard Highwater had opened a direct portal to the soul realm, Cole was not in a different place, he had the answers through it all and he was not paying attention. This was still the soul realm, just a different part of it, the soul was all about balance, the good and the bad coming together to make up the total sum of a,person existence and character.

"You have finally come seeking us….."

"Demon Night"

"Demon Raen"

"Demon Cole!"

"Demon World Breaker!"

The chill that Cole was feeling in that moment got deeper, he was afraid. He could not just feel it, he could smell it. Eyes, by the thousands, of all kinds and colors seem to peer at him from the darkness, as the touched his soul,leaving marks, corruption and pain in the process. He couldn't even say anything, all of his innermost thoughts and desires were laid bare for them to see.

"We know what you seek!"

"We know what you want, yes we know!"

"Even You don't Know what you want!"

"No he does not!"

"But we do, yes we do!"

"He wants a hound! A war dog…a wolf!"

"Born Of Chaos, For Chaos By Chaos With Chaos!"

"Of horrors Untold and Of The Void! Who will Go!"

"I will Go!" "No I will Go!" "Let Us Go!" "Why Should You Go!! "Let Me Go!"

"Enough! We All Will Go!"

All of a sudden the voices fell silent and the clouds and storm vanished, leaving Cole in front of the colossal figure of a wolf or a dog with a thousand canine heads, and hundreds of eyes. It's body was the size of a moon, and in front of it Cole felt small. And with a ferocious grin it said to him.

"Let Us Go!"
