Guild Wars

Dominic glanced at Dante with a neutral look, shaking his head. "You are too naive, brother, to think that a man whose only child has been butchered at the hands of his family can retain loyalty to such family. The moment you and the elders made the decision to prioritize Draco over Gremory, everything had been decided."

Dominic then glanced at the severely wounded Lingtian who was trying to escape coldly. "However, still, I am a member of this family, whether I like it or not. If the family degrades or collapses, there will be nowhere in the world that will be safe for me, so it's best that rather than destroying the whole family, I destroy those who sacrificed my daughter while also crippling our enemies."

Lingtian turned to the approaching Dominic with bloodshot eyes full of fear and hatred. "Dominic Morningstar! We had an agreement! How dare you betray me?!"

"What a fool. I was never on your side, so how could I betray you? If what I did to you is betrayal then what will I call what I did to Dante?" Dominic sneered with derision, looking at Lingtian as if he was retarded.

Lingtian seemed unwilling, but gritted his teeth. "Dominic Morningstar, don't come closer! I have a way to assure mutual destruction between both our factions, but if you let me go, I will not activate it!"

Dominic did not even deign to respond, thinking that Lingtian was making things up to save his life. If the Pangu Lineage had such awesome things all this while, why did they never use it before?

Dominic raised his fist to punch Lingtian's head open and finally kill this enemy before going back to deal with his brother, when Lingtian suddenly exploded with all his bloodline energy in order to block the punch.

In the end, Lingtian was sent flying while coughing blood, but his eyes held unparalleled viciousness and will to perish.

"Dominic Morningstar, you forced me! You forced me!!" Lingtian roared to the sky, causing the attention of the battlefield to fall unto this area.

When Fyre and Lilith, who were decimating their focusing their sisterly tag team saw the severely wounded Dante who was bleeding out, they were both horrified. Lilith screamed and rushed over, while Fyre too approached with a look of deep-seated worry.

"Dante! Dante, what happened?!" Lilith cried out as she cradled her husband whose eyes were glazed over.

Fyre, though, was more level-headed and saw the surprised Dominic who did not believe that Lingtian managed to survive. He then shook his head and began walking back, but his eyes were filled with coldness, especially when looking at Lilith.

Looking at the bleeding Dante who was too shocked to even speak and the menacing Dominic who was approaching with his guard up and his body tensed for battle, Fyre immediately had an absurd idea pop into her head. She did not want to believe her suspicion, but everything her eyes and experience was telling her was in support of it.

Lilith seemed to finally recognize Dominic and cried out. "Dominic, Dante is hurt! We need to take him back for healing, or he might not recover!"

Lilith did not notice anything wrong with Dominic and even allowed him to enter a very short distance around her. She assumed he was coming to help his brother, but when Dominic stood over her for a long period, his shadow cast over her, Lilith finally felt something was wrong.

"Dominic?" She almost whispered as he looked up to see bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

"It's you. It's always been you. I never liked you, from the way you acted weak to the way you stole my brother from Fyre underhandedly to how you prioritize only yourself and your selfish interests over others." Dominic muttered through gritted teeth.

Before Lilith could say anything, Dominic struck out with a punch towards Lilith's head, aiming to end what he considered to be a scourge. Unfortunately for him, his strike was blocked by Fyre's Blue Water Adder which created a shield of sturdy water to deflect the blow.

Meanwhile, Dominic had to retreat because Fyre's Dark Swamp Serpent came out and fired an arrow made of potent poison. This gave Fyre enough time to cover Lilith, who was still shocked by Dominic's words and actions.

"Dominic, I understand how you feel, but harming your own brother and attacking my sister is not going to fix things. It only spits on the legacy of the man that you were." Fyre said with a low voice, her eyes locked on Dominic.

Dominic snorted. "How could you understand? You were tossed aside by my brother and do not have anyone to love you, with no child of your own. How dare you say such a bold thing?"

Fyre paled as her eyes dimmed significantly. This was her greatest sore spot and what kept her up at night. However, she felt a hand on her shoulder, seeing that it was her sister Lilith who had shaken off her stupor and was glancing at her with a comforting gaze.

"That is exactly why my big sister is superior to me. She is strong and resilient, able to handle things I cannot and dare not. She has always shielded me since we were young, and I know no one better." Lilith said to her sister from her heart.

Hearing these words made Fyre feel moved. Even though there was a period of time where she hated Lilith, most of that period was spent worrying about her in secret. Once an older sister, always an older sister, and Fyre was geared towards sheltering Lilith at all times.

Lilith then glanced at Dominic. "However, my sister is right. Dominic, harming Dante is not the way. Please stop this and let's deal with the threat before us and let me take Dante back for healing."

Lilith pleaded with Dominic because she knew that with his power, even if he couldn't take the two of them down, he could prevent them from saving Dante in time. No matter how angry she felt at the betrayal, she had to stomach it for her husband's sake.

Dominic glanced at the two women, then at his brother who was bleeding out on the ground. Knowing when to call it quits, he closed his eyes and made a decision, reverting from his Horned Demon form back into his normal state.

"Even if you heal him, I made sure to strike my brother's heart. He will never be able to transform into a Horned Demon again, and that is my punishment to him."

Dominic turned to face the battlefield and walked away coldly. "After I am done here I will take the reins of leadership for the clan and reorganize everything to make sure tragedies like what my Gremory had to go through will never occur again."

Fyre and Lilith could only share uncertain looks and prioritize the problem at hand. They each picked up Dante from either side, their faces red with exertion as Dante was truly heavy due to his power and build.

Before they could even take a few steps, they sensed a huge power fluctuation behind that that left their entire bodies feeling cold. Before they could even turn around, they saw the body of Dominic flying past them at abhorrent speeds, crashing into a nearby hill brutally.

Shocked, the two women slowly turned around to regard a behemoth they had never expected to see in their lives. It was a 12-foot-tall monstrosity that was largely made up of rocks, with arms covered in blazing magma, legs of flowing wind, and a waist of flowing water.

Atop its head stood a bloodied Lingtian roaring with laughter as he gazed cruelly down on the Lucifer Lineage fighters before him who had become pale from fear.

"Hahaha! I gave you dogs a chance to lick my boots but you dared to bite back?! Die for me, Die! Die! Dieee!!" He bellowed with madness, drunk on the power he now wielded through the Primogenitor Giant.

Immediately, the Primogenitor Giant raised its hands and released a huge wave of fire that engulfed everything, forcing the remaining Lucifer Lineage fighters to either try to dodge or block.

Many managed to deal with this indiscriminate attack, but their already drained power was weakened further. Seeing the Primogenitor Giant which had barely broken a sweat, made felt despair coursing through their hearts.

How do they even fight this thing? And most importantly, why the hell did their progenitor not leave behind something similar for them?!

Fyre and Lilith were stunned, not knowing what to do. A part of them wanted to take Dante back for treatment, but a part also wanted to stay and help their fellow clan members fight this behemoth.

Before they could think, they felt a twitch in their arms, both snapping their heads to the middle where Dante was coming to slowly. Even with a deeply slurred voice and heavily lidded eyes, his voice was soothing as ever.

"Forgive me for being away, everyone. I am here now and will…tsss!… will help you defeat this monster." Dante panted in pain from his wound as he tried to stand on his own.
