Vampire King Apollyon

*****************************

Luxen's president had destroyed himself when he burst into flames of his own will, eradicating the Nephilim Luna had summoned.

Hellfire had flowed and scattered through the giant's arms of thick, cumbersome vines.

The Nephilim's fingers had plenty of microscopic spiked teeth similar to rose thorns tightly wrapped around the president's serpentine form.

It drove the president to create this large and destructive yet silent blast of light and heat.

Maybe, it was the winged dragon serpent's first time being trussed up like a turkey.

He was wrapped like a pretty little gift before the Nephilim drained all of his demonic energy. Apollyon had suspected that the giant took his time to weaken his meal before he devoured it whole. It was the only reason he was too slow to end the president's life because he was preparing his food.

Seeing demons eating other demons and souls were a horrid sight for sure, but at least, they did a great job of ridding the world of this menace.

He had witnessed a similar scenario at the celebration of Ostara. Luna had done it to rescue the Spring Monarchs and the Faeries.

His beloved had thought it was a win-win situation—feeding on weaker demonic spirits to strengthen her and satisfy her Archdemon nature.

In the end, she was accused of summoning these stray demonic spirits to invade their Kingdom when in fact, Luna and Apollyon were doing those pathetic creatures a favour.

On that fateful night, Apollyon found out what powerful Archdemons were truly capable of.

Queen Morgan didn't understand this, and she had allowed her irritation to get the best of her.

Apollyon saw that cunning giant had prepared to open his big mouth before the impatient Queen took the initiative to end the president herself, which led to her untimely demise.

Hopefully,? his assumptions about Queen Morgan's death was false, and she had survived that high-energy explosion.

His charioteer was correct.

The president's suicide was the final act to ruin every living creature in the Fall Courts.

The winged dragon serpent couldn't escape the Nephilim's clutches no matter how hard he tried to break free from the vine trap he put him through. Hence, he decided to kill Luna's giant first, even if it meant he had to sacrifice his existence in this Realm and drag the Nephilim back to Hell with him. Unfortunately, the president's surrender prompted both of them to perish at the same time.

Earlier, Luxen's Legion had called the darkness to creep on the skies above the Fall Courts.

All of that was now replaced by this brilliant white light.

He forced himself to look up at the atmosphere.

It still burned his vision but eventually, his eyes had adjusted to the intense heat.

His eyes widened slightly when he saw millions of dust suspended in the air.

It seemed to be larger than average.

Squinting, Apollyon realized that these weren't dust, but small and weak rocky sediments could easily break.

Maybe, these things were sand, silt and clay… or perhaps, these were the ashes of the Nephilim and the winged serpent when the explosion shattered their monstrous sizes to pieces.

Luna's Legion—her murder of demon crows— and Queen Morgan's fox spirits also vanished.

Apollyon tried to protect his chariot by keeping their protective bubble in place while they hid behind the temples as the fire continued to bombard its roof and foundations.

Apollyon stood up from the Sun Chariot, determined to find the source of this calamity and stop it.

Was this even a natural occurrence, or other powerful Archdemon had caused this hellfire and brimstones to rain?

Straightening his posture, Apollyon raised a hand to shield his sensitive eyes from the glare as he observed some more.

The answer to that mystery struck him like a bolt of lightning.

The rain of fire was triggered by the collective pieces of soot and small rocks in the airspace.

The longer it stays in the ethers, the residual remains of the annihilated demons will generate a chemical reaction with the sweltering temperature from the ongoing heatwave.

The torrid winds had fueled these dark rocks rapidly in the atmosphere, which led to combustion. Next, when the air currents couldn't carry them anymore, they dropped from the sky and ravaged Queen Morgan's Kingdom.

Now that he figured out where this strange phenomenon came from despite the eradication of their enemies, he had to get rid of the—

In that instant, Apollyon looked to the left and saw that Queen Morgan's Moon Chariot was empty. The two Pegasi drawing the carriage seemed at odds with each other as they trotted wildly in the air without the charioteer to steer them in the right direction.

He saw Queen Morgan's Cadre—Sylvain, Kotari and Jora—coming to the North to search and rescue their absent Queen.

Apollyon inspected the crowded atmosphere of Knights as they carefully navigated through the rest of the Autumn Militia while avoiding the burning coals hanging in the air.

Like him, they were also searching for Queen Morgan, and they couldn't find her.

Apollyon caught a glimpse of a female of white feathered wings embracing a woman in her black gladiator dress from the ground.

The angel had released her as fast as she appeared. In the blink of an eye, the angel evaporated into thin air.

Nobody from the Autumn Militia was aware that the Fall Queen had appeared out of nowhere, falling to the ground headfirst at an alarming rate while they were too preoccupied with the balls of fire not hitting any part of them.

"I saw your Queen, charioteer." Apollyon told his companion without removing his gaze from Queen Morgan. "Remain in the protective bubble of this chariot. I will fulfill my request to save her."

He estimated the specific area and the perfect timing to meet Queen Morgan before he teleported her to safety.

He caught the unconscious Queen in his arms.

Her mask--which the president claimed were made of angel wings—were ripped off her face.

Something else boggled his mind.

Why was Queen Morgan's hair red?

Was this her actual appearance?

Where did the angel who saved her come from?
