Vampire King Apollyon

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

My Master is giving you a chance to defect." The bastard offered, and Queen Morgan's posture on her Moon Chariot tensed, "Your barriers are weakening since you couldn't keep up with my demon strength, Queen Morgan. Five more attacks from my winged dragon form, and your Kingdom  will be destroyed." Luxen's president growled with conviction. "I will destroy creatures who do not worship my Master."

Queen Morgan jutted her chin and challenged the demon. "If you can really do it, then. Go ahead." 

The president's face wrinkled in confusion as if he didn't understand where their stubbornness came from. "You are close to losing, Queen Morgan.  Apollyon."

"The world had gone mad as well. You must decide which side you wanted to be on." He tried to convince them to defect and failed miserably. It wasn't just about pride. Demons rarely keep their promises. "You are not the only people I promise to spare all of your life and stop the siege if all creatures in the Faerie Realm  keep  their word."

"We aren't losing, president." Apollyon's charioteer finally caught up with their conversation and positioned the Sun Chariot beside the Autumn Queen.  "Just look around you." 

Apollyon gestured at the giant behind them, with the height of more than five hundred feet, walked with giant strides while still moving with deliberate care as if he was afraid to step on a living being and kill them. 

It must be Luna who summoned him from Hell into this Realm.

The giant followed her orders quite perfectly.

From his actions,  The Autumn Faeries seemed to recognize that the giant was a  friend of the Kingdom.

They made it a point to adjust around his footsteps as they hurried out of his way in a rush.

When the thick mist from the rainfall mixed the residual smoke from the wildfire, Apollyon finally got a good look at the colossal ogre. 

Yes, he was tall, and Apollyon even banked on the giant to have a thick torso, but he didn't have one. Instead, his eyes were entirely white.

The expanse of his grey skin and his face resembled those of an ancient tree.

Even his limbs were branch-like, and his hair had hung around his forehead like vines. 

Luna and her Archdemon Familiars could call on their very own avian demonic spirits to support the Fall Courts, similar to the harpy-vulture demons of  Luxen's Legion.

At first, Apollyon thought that these murder of crows came here to assist the opponent.

Since he witnessed it come from one of the tallest hexagonal towers in the Autumn Courts, he guessed that these spirits his beloved wife had sent to help them.

Yet, there was something insidious and nasty about their presence when all of them approached Apollyon, Queen Morgan and the Faerie Knights flying in the air with their Pegasi and assembled in the front lines.

As they soared close to them while emitting long human-sounding shrieks like an omen of death, Apollyon realized these strange half-crows and half-humanoid combinations were more grotesque to look at more than Luxen's Legion.

The birds were taller and more terrifying, especially when they had two human legs, two clawed hands and topped with the head of a crow.

Their beaks were arced into a long, sharp point which Apollyon approved of.

His wife had summoned the perfect Legion who would fight with them.

He didn't think that Luna was the one who summoned these creatures herself.

God forbid that these spirits were demons from Ravin and Sloth's Legion Luna had summoned from Hell. 

The giant behind them commanded in a voice so low and deep that Apollyon barely understood. "Attack  the enemy Legion." 

The murder of crows scattered throughout the Fall Courts and ventured outside the magic barriers to protect the Autumn Faeries and attack the members of Luxen's Demonic Legion.

Luxen's president shifted back into its winged serpent dragon form, but it was too late.

He had stalled from destroying Queen Morgan's energetic barricades around the Fall Courts, claiming that he was giving them a chance of salvation because his Master, Luxen, was a good Archdemon.

Only stupid and spineless people will fall for that trick.

The giant that Luna and her Archdemon Familiars sent raised both of his arms towards the dark heavens.

Vines shoot out from its fingertips, occasionally darting from side to side as if preparing to strike, seize and pierce any creature within its reach.

The president's mocking laughter was instantly strangled down into a gurgling moan when the vines reached the presidents' limbs brutally until its complete vulture-humanoid form was wrapped around him fold after fold, tightening with cruel swiftness and with the tenacity of a cobra fastening upon its prey.

He even forced himself to return to his berserker form and become a winged dragon serpent.

Alas, all his efforts were in vain!

With the fury of starved green snakes, his long vines had stretched even longer with every thrash. His tendrils grew small, sharp teeth, fastening upon the mighty winged dragon serpent in sudden coils round and round his face, body and up to his tail to prevent him from escaping his clutches. 

At that moment, Apollyon, Queen Morgan and the Autumn Militia didn't have to do anything.

With just a glance, it was clear that Luxen's Legion was losing from this one Nephilim and the other evil creatures Luna had summoned from Hell.

In-flight, Apollyon and the rest of the Faeries could only watch the giant in awe as he devoured the winged dragon serpent like it was made to sacrifice itself for the giant.

The horde of harpy-vulture demons could only shriek and cry out in pain.

Savage demon crows tore them with their claws and beaks the same way they did to the Autumn Faeries when a few of them managed to enter the hollow the winged dragon serpent made earlier.

A few of Luxen's demons attempted to save their president in a panic, crowding around him and pecking at the giant's slender and delicate vine-like fingers while he was clasped and mummified with leaves. 

One touch of their beaks and tongues against any part of the giant made them hiss and vomit purple liquid, proving that the giant's vines were so poisonous.

These harpy-vulture demons release an awful scream followed by a violent shiver before they fall into Queen Morgan's barriers and disintegrate into nothingness.
