A handsome knight with golden lock wielded a cross shaped sword as he cleaved a man wearing a robe in half. The man's guts and entrails splattered all over him but it was blocked by a blue aura that circled around his body.

The knight didn't even look at the corpse of the man, he had already killed many more of them. These people were heretics who worshiped an evil God and deserved none of his pity. If they succeeded with this ritual the world might be destroyed or be turned upside down.

So he killed and killed everyone who was his enemy.

The operation of theirs was a success, the Holy Alliance which consisted of people from the Holy Knights, the Holy Crusaders, and the Holy Devout learned a prophecy from the seers that the world would go into turmoil if they didn't stop this ritual. The seers were old men who received revelations from the world and the messages were rare as there wasn't much that could set the world into chaos. The seers hurriedly sent a message to the Holy Alliance about the revelations and all of the seers who received the revelation died from old age after sending the message as being able to receive messages from the world came with a drawback.

In the revelation they learned of the place the heretics were conducting their ritual and even information about the God they were worshiping. The God's name was Beelzebub, he was a Demon Lord of Hell and his notoriety mainly came from his desire to consume everything. The people from the Alliance were confused about why they would worship a God like this whose entire existence was just to eat everything but they didn't bother trying to figure out the mind of lunatics.

While the knight was thinking about everything that happened in the short few days something unexpected happened. They were originally just massacring the unprepared heretics but then a tear in space opened. Tears in space were very dangerous as they would suck in everything around them like a black hole but this one was unique, it didn't suck in anything but spewed out body parts of different beasts and some of them looked humanoid.

They were confused about why dismembered corpses would just spew out of a tear in space but what happened next really shocked them. The dismembered corpses started to explode in bloody pieces leaving a red mist. The people of the Holy Alliance who were in the radius of the explosions didn't die but instead they started to become irrational.

The Holy Crusaders who were known for their ruthlessness to eradicate anything they deemed evil started to scream in pain as they came in contact with the red mist. Their body started to uncontrollably mutate as their skin broke apart and different limbs started growing out from their body. Pus flowed out of them as multiple mouths opened from their body and they started to attack the rest of the people from the Holy Alliance.

A priest from the Holy Devout was lifted by multiple tendrils as they ripped the priest in four pieces and the abominations started to compete for the pieces of the priest. The abominations although violent didn't attack the heretics instead they defended them. The situation had immediately reversed, the Holy Alliance who was at first winning had now started to lose badly and the situation was now in a stalemate which was bad for them. They wanted to stop the ritual but the heretics were mainly focused on just completing the ritual and they only needed to stall for time and they would win.

"This can't go on!"

The knight with the golden locks shouted to the rest of the members. He was a person in very high position in the Holy Knights, his name was Dynatos. So when the people heard his shout they all looked at him.

"My friends from the Holy Alliance, we have all heard of the revelation. The revelation depicts a cruel future but that future will only happen if we don't succeed right now! There will be sacrifices and many more will die but if we don't beat them then we'll lose our world, our families, and even our friends!So start fighting with even more vigor!"

With the final shout from Dynatos the crowd roared and the people from the Holy Knight and the Holy Crusaders rushed toward the abominations. Dynatos pointed his sword at the abomination as multiple giant cross swords circled around him. He swung his sword at the abominations and the swords around him dashed toward the abominations.

Multiple spells and random projectiles targeted the abominations. The spells and projectiles burned and pierced the body of the abominations but they didn't concede even with their body being dismembered and battered. Their multiple limbs or tendrils attacked any of the knights and crusaders rushing toward them as they tried to swallow them whole.

A Crusader riding on his mount was pierced by multiple tendrils and split into different mouths. His mount followed soon after. Even with the multiple deaths of their allies around them the Crusaders still rushed toward the abominations. Dying quickly was the greatest mercy as if they lived from being attacked they would soon mutate into those abominations.

Dynatos soon pierced through the wall of flesh as multiple people paved the way for him through their sacrifice. He had multiple pieces of flesh on his armor and his handsome look now looked malevolent as he was covered in blood. His gaze filled with wrath as he stared at the priests concluding the ritual. Followers threw themselves at him as he slashed and cleaved anything in his way. He only had one goal now, to stop the ritual.

"It is useless! The Lord will descend upon us and eradicate you sinners!"

The priest wearing a deer's skull on his head shouted maniacally as he stared at the pentagram glowing a bright red with the black vortex spinning in the middle, red lightning licked around the vortex as ominous winds blew everywhere.

Dynatos wasted no time talking and rushed at the priest, the priest unfortunately had used all his power on the ritual and was helpless against Dynatos but he didn't care as the ritual was about to finish. Dynatos bisected the priest standing in front of him and then rushed at the pentagram. His cross shaped sword shined brightly and he stabbed toward the pentagram.

Blood was spewed as Dynatos coughed blood out of his mouth. From the vortex spinning in the pentagram an insect's foreleg pierced through Dynatos's armor like butter and skewered him in mid air.

"So close but so far away."

A distant voice was heard as a colossal fly with three heads pierced its head out from the vortex and revealed its figure. The fly was hideous but it let out an over bearing aura that almost crushed Dynatos. All the followers prostrated themselves as they marveled at the grand figure. Beelzebub had descended and its followers will prosper.
