The Guardian gods

Chapter 85

While the whirlpool was closing Björn was holding onto his axe while looking seriously at the whirlpool, the closer the whirlpool was to closing. The more tense Björn got, soon the whirlpool closed off completely causing Björn to let out a deep breath.

As soon as the portal closed Björn looked over to the humans into pool, who by now was no longer standing upright but twitching from the pain coming with their transformation at the same time struggling from being drowned in the water.

Watching this scene, Björn let go of Axe in hind hand as he looked up to the night sky with arms spread apart, the sound of pain and suffering all round him "This is the sound, I have missed this sound of misery"

Björn had a look of joy in face as he closed his eyes to full take in the sound around him, soon the sound of pain ended, and the pool was just full full of human bodies floating around not making any movement.

The ritual Björn did was a ritual commonly known among demons who doesn't want to use abyssal demons as soldiers, so they create one of their own, the catalyst for this ritual is the blood of magical creatures.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Abyss demon and most creatures have a thing in common which is their animalistic features of horns, claws, tails and eyes. So, in this ritual the animal's blood in absorbed into the abyss where the animal's essence is infused deeply with the abyss breath which is then spit out which is the purple blood that filled up the pool.

As for why the pool was necessary, it is to dilute the effect for the humans, because if it's not diluted, it which achieve the opposite effect which is it will kill every human here and if they managed to survive, they will turn into an uncontrollable abomination which will look like a fusion of every creature blood used in the ritual.

Björn watched as the still floating body, began changing in his eyes, the before normal body began filling up like it was being pumped with air, the purple water also began diluting soon the before dirty pool turned in to a clear water.

It didn't take long before the humans filling the pool all stood up as they looked down at their body, clenching and opening their arms as they feel the power running rampant inside of them.

Björn meanwhile was paying attention to something else, as he looked closely at their expression and eyes to see if anyone of them was able to keep their sanity as this was one of the major cons of this ritual which is that most transformed people become less human and more like animals, only a special few manages to keep their senses.

Björn got what he was looking for as he looked over to Björn and the hunters. Björn and the hunters now have also changed their look as there before thin mummified body now looked even better and more powerful, what Björn appreciated the most was in their eyes he was able to see sanity.

Björn thought they even looked better as their eyes have something more in it which was savagery.

"Hmmm" Björn thought to himself as a human walked out from the pool and was calmly walking towards them, looking at Finn who was now almost as tall as him.

Björn said nothing as Finn knelt on knee before "Did I meet your requirement Björn Björn said nothing as he looked over to Olaf and the hunters, before gesturing at them to come over, soon Olaf and the others got out from the pool. as for the other humans in the pool, there was still a look of confusion on their face, but they were also slowly coming out from the pool.

"Your names is now something I think you are qualified for me to know" Björn said as he looked at Finn, Olaf and the other hunters.

Finn spoke out first before Olaf answered, soon the five other hunters announced their names "Johan, Sigmund, Hans, Otto and Ralph

Björn nodded hearing the names "You seven are now the co-leaders of this settlement, divide among yourselves the transformed humans, we are going on a conquering journey" Björn said as a scary smile came upon his face, the other seven leaders felt their blood boiling as the sane look on their face disappeared as they also began smiling eerily like Björn.

This was how Björn, and his men turned into a nightmare for the people on the sunny side as with every tribe the conquered and ritual performed, they stronger they grew which pushed other two leader to form an alliance which halted Björn in his steps and causing him to move back to his settlement.

Björn massaged his head as he recalled all this memory, "Last thing he remembered was himself screaming at the two leaders on how one of them managed to gain possession a purification blade and the other got one annoying shield he couldn't get through"

"If those two never had those weapons, I would have gotten full control of this human The demon inside of Björn said out loud to itself. In Björn obsession and with a manipulation of the demon inside him, Björn signed an unknown contract which was the completion of his desire to be the sole leader of the sunny side in exchange for full control of his body and soul.

The demon would have completed the contract but got stopped which was what led to Björn gaining back control of his senses and body. Deep inside the essence of Björn soul a demon can be seen sitting inside of it, this demon looked weird as its body was missing a lot of parts but somehow it was alive, closing its eyes the demon said "It will take time, but I will soon get full control of this body"

Meanwhile, Björn stood up from the bone throne he was sitting on, looking at the throne. Björn found out weirdly he isn't disturbed by the sight instead was thinking on how the throne was crafted well.

Shaking his head at that, Björn walked out from his tent to meet a scene straight from

hell, smell of blood everywhere. Men fucking women, some holding a human thigh and eating it, weirdly in this sense were children hurdled together with malnourished skin and blank look in their eyes as they looked at the pandemonium in front of them. Björn was taking in the sight with his hand holding his head, he thought to himself "Something is wrong, I should be feeling something else in this sight but somehow i am only angry on how disorganized the chaos is"

Just like his throne, Björn felt like there was a beauty missing in the scene in front of him, the children shouldn't have been pushed to the point of this blank look, Björn thought to himself "It would have been better if the children were crying and had the light of unattainable hope in their eyes"

Björn expression changed as soon as he thought of that, causing him to take a step back in fear, "What the hell is wrong with me"

"Stop, everyone should stop with this degeneracy" Björn screamed out at the top of his voice, which took effect as everyone looked at Björn position and seeing the angry look on his face, they all stopped as no one wanted to anger the demon.

The whole settlement was silent except for the few cries of women here and there, soon the seven co-leaders walked up to Björn as they knelt down "What is your order master"

"Master?" Björn thought to himself as he was taken back with how he was being referred to, that was when one of the co leaders caught his eyes.

"Brother" Björn said as he looked at Olaf who now looked different from how he last remembered him, on the upper body of his brother were scary scars that Björn took note of didn't come from a creature.

"Brother?" the seven co-leaders hearing the unfamiliar word all looked up to Björn, to see if he was joking but their expression soon changed once they took a closer look at

him.

"Björn, is that you" Olaf stood up immediately but stopped himself as he was scared that maybe the demon was playing a joke on him, so he stood still while looking at Björn. Björn did something surprising which was walking up and hugging Olaf who tensed up as he noticed the strength In Björn hands that could easily squeezed him in half. Björn seemed to notice that as he took a step back and said to Olaf "It's me brother, I'm back" Olaf and the co-leaders said nothing but take a look at each other before Olaf smiled as he looked at Björn "I thought I lost you to whatever that thing was brother"
