The Atlantean Compensator 39 The Princes of Hell 3

She can see clearly the changes on Herald's face and body. From the battle going on inside of him.'

*Love put her hand on his forehead*

'Divine light lit out of her palms, This is one of her powers.'

'Love is the primary Master of healing methods in the Atlantean Association.

It makes sense from the name given to her. Love!

What other power other than Love can it do better?'

'She tried to give him portions of well-being and stability, to help his body remain stable and not suffer alter-effects.'

'She wishes she could join them inside, of all the three she probably is the one most capable of stopping Mammon!!

But she knows he might take control of Herald's body, and Herald is the person most important in all of this.'

*Inside the Labryinth*

'Mammon completed his transformation'

Alkeyder tells Heracles.

"Nothing should be taken even slightly lightly from now on, He's serious!

You remember the tactic we did long ago?"

Heracles. "The one we helped seal Asmodeus for couple of hundred years?"

Alkeyder. "Yes"

'Heracles nods with his head, as a sign of confirmation and agreement.'

Mammon. "Is your little conversation over?

I didn't want to be cheap and surprise attack you."

Alkeyder. "Since when you started having such manners, Mammon?"

Mammon. "Since we were the ones creating the manners, Alkeyder."

'Alkeyder didn't like the sound of it, and it showed on his face a little bit.'

Mammon. "Angry i have made you right?

So...You're not attacking first?

Such cowards you all became...I'll do it myself"

'Mammon's flying wings created such strong wind that is comparable to a little storm.

It disrupted the whole place and made even the little brick-built room shatter a bit.'

'Heracles jumps away very high while Alkeyder transports instantly to the unseen.'

'Mammon points out Heracles as his first target. Alkeyder is to be dealt with later on.

He gets to him pretty quickly and the latter cannot outspeed Mammon and attacks him with his long (sharp at its end) Polearm trying to stab him in the chest.'

'Heracles, with his bare hands keeps dodging and sending the polearm away from hitting his body, the speed of Mammon's blows are increasing, and Heracles struggles to keep up with them even if he's succesfully doing so!'

'Mammon suddenly, stops holding the Polearm..'

'But it mysteriously continued to do the same movements it did when he was holding it.

It's as if he's controling it with his mind only.'

'Then he tries to suprise Heracles with an attack from behind, using his dark matter as a sharp blade.

Heracles figures out what Mammon is trying to do and turned his body from the front into flames and from behind into ice.

Holds the polearm with his burning hands and raises the temperature to extreme high levels that even Herald, could feel the heat!!'

Mammon. "Still as dumb as ever? You've tried to burn it before and it didn't work"

Heracles replies. as he's turning quickly to face Mammon.

"Who said i'll burn it?"

'Heracles tries to use the same Polearm as his weapon and strikes Mammon towards the face.

The evil mysterious creature uses his dark matter again to shield himself and gets back some meters away.'

"Impressive, but you'll run out of energy really soon like that"

'The Polearm refuses to let Heracles be it's helder. He's using a lot of his force to keep it in control of his hands.

To not waste any time, He rushes again towards Mammon and tries to hit him with the firy Polearm.

Mammon keeps dodging and using his dark matter as a shield.'

*Out of nowhere!!*

*Heracles lets out a very loud furocious roar*

'Mammon did not inticipate that.

Heracles' roar served as a sudden boost of energy in his body that reached out where Mammon is and surrounded him in the form of Hellish fire.'

Mammon could barely see and was annoyed with it. Very annoyed.

"UGH FIRE!!! FIRE FIRE FIRE!

DONT YOU GET TIRED OF IT???"

'Mammon wipes it all off with an angry swipe of one of his long feathery wings.

And looks very angry this time. But Heracles isn't right in front of him.'

Alkeyder. "Look above!"

'Mammon looks above and...

Alkeyder standing tall in top of him, inside of a...

A magical cyrcle. A cyrcle of infinite cyrcles, Filled with Hexagrams in all of it's cyrcles.'

*Alkeyder is standing right in it's axis*

Mammon looks....SCARED!!!!!!

"OH FUCK!!!

HELL NO!!!! When...

HOW DO YOU EVEN HAVE IT?????"

Alkeyder smiles as he's looking down from above.

"It's a gift. From your master!"

*Mammon immediatly gets angry as hell and summons every power he has.*

'The ground started shaking, as the moon got even bigger and bigger...

It's as if the sky is going to fall on them.

This doesn't phase Alkeyder nor Heracles.'

'Herald looking at them, thought that the reason why they're so composed and that Mammon is starting to lose it, was that they figure out a way to beat him.

So he was also pretty relieved,'

'It's in moments like this that the difference between Herald before meeting Thoth and after shows.

He now has a much better ability to analyse what's there in front of him.

As Thoth said to him,

"Look In the Cause Thou Shalt Bring Into Being,

And Surely Thou Shalt See That All is Effect."

'However, Mammon's dark matter started to get so big it covered all the sky.

And it's coming for all of them.'

'It seems that Mammon is done taking anything slightly.

He's now intenting to kill of them here and now with all of his might.'

Heracles.

"Quickly Alkeyder!!

He's trying to destroy the whole Labryinth!"

Alkeyder. "I know...But The seal isn't yet complete we cannot fully seal him like this.."

'The dark matter is eating everything on its way and the place started to look as dark as the abyss.

Only Alkeyder's seal is lighting it up at this point..'

Heracles.

"NO ALKEYDER THAT IS ENOUGH!!

HE WILL KILL HIM IF THIS GOES ON ANY LONGER."

*Herald barely can get up on his feet at this point.*

He says tiredly.

"...H.ey!! Do..so..me...th.i.ng.."

*Herald falls down unconscious!!*

Alkeyder.

"GOD DAMN IT!! ALRIGHT.

'Alkeyder brings forth his fist and touches the middle of the magical seal.

On his index finger.

There is a ring he wasn't wearing before he weirdly disappeared...

The ring looks old, but big. With a beautiful green stone on its middle.'

'Alkeyder recites as the lightning seal shined even more. Although not completed!'

"SEAL OF SOLOMON!!!

OPEN YOUR GATES AND DEVOUR THE DEVIL!!!"

'Mammon gets immediatly hit with striking lights that devoured him. He could not be seen from outside of it.'

'The huge Dark matter cloud started to fade away.'

'Herald slowly regains consciounsess and looks at the amazing scene of Mammon being purified by the divine light. As Alkeyder is standing so cooly on top of the sky, looking down at him.'

'He finds Heracles next to him, who helps him get up.'

Herald. "Is...Is he done for?"

*Heracles stays silent and does not answer...*

'The seal disappears. Alkeyder gets down and stands next to the other two.

And as the lights flamed off...'

'Mammon Looks burned!!

Miserably beatten!!

Barely standing!!

Looking down to the ground in humiliation and defeat!!'

'All of them kept their guards on.

"This damn Mammon is so overpowered."

Herald said in his mind.

"But...Why did he say I am the only one able to defeat him? What could have i done to defeat him?

I didn't succumb to his illusions....Well yes, so what?

How can I defeat such strong creature that both Masters are struggling to deal with..."

Mammon, while looking to the ground and with a voice very..burned? Said.

"...This!

This I did not expect...This brought back horrible memories...

To think you have Master's ring...That damn horrible human being..."

Alkeyder. With a weird smile on his face.

"What do you mean by horrible? Hahahah..Just because he gave all of you a taste of your own medicent.

And you still did not repent..."

*Mammon. gets his head up this time and looks angrily at Alkeyder.*

'His look was so mean and dark it frightenned all of them.'

"Did he really...think? That doing that would make us repent?

It has only made us even more rutheless. But still, I hate being reminded of it...

Very close, masters!"

*Mammon starts clapping*

"I applaud you, you surely aren't the ones of yesterday.

I cannot let you off the hook anymore, being this dangereous surely disrupts all of our future plans.

Pray for your souls. God would be disappointed to recieve you this early, he might give me an even worse sentence by doing this.

*Mammon walks towards them as he's continuing his speech, not only that but the moon is again getting bloodly red, and he's quickly healing all of his severe wounds.*

Well. What can I say? It's him who wants us to do what we're doing at the end of the day..."

*Alkeyder and Heracles takes their fighting stance again.*

Alkeyder. "We're in for a long night aren't we?"

Heracles. "This bastard might make me be the reason i destroy this place!!"

Alkeyder. "Nah, Just wait a little bit..."

'Suddenly!!

A sound that only Herald could hear, spoke to him!

"Herald. What are you waiting for?"

Herald gets surprised by the voice.

"What?!

Who's that??!!"

'He first thought everyone could hear it.'

Heracles orders him.

"Kid, back off as much as you can."

*Herald is confused.*

"BUT I...

'The voice again speaks.' "No one can hear me but you. Stop looking stupid!"

'Herald stops for a moment and realizes that...

It's a voice he's heard not so long ago!!!
