Chapter 2: devil’s realm
A bright red and black car stopped at an underpass this path isn't used thanks to disappearances around the area Ryan came to this place to investigate at his father's request.
He got out of the car and went into a wall he looked at it for a few seconds and nodded he got into the back of his car and opened the trunk to reveal spray cans he got one and got to work.
He sprayed on the wall and when he done he made a pentagram symbol but a moment later the pentagram glowed and it was letting out a lot of malevolent energy and bloodlust.
Ryan: time to go to work.
He walked right into the pentagram but instead of crashing into a wall he walked past by it and when he did the pentagram disappeared into thin air.
When Ryan came out of the wall he was in a sewer like area he looked down and saw that the water was actually blood.
He decided to advance to find the ruler of the underpass.
Ryan: this blood water is really disgusting.
He felt a presence behind him and he jumped out of the way of a swing when he landed he saw it was a mantis with red flesh and red eyes and teeth and it looked at Ryan with hunger.
Mantis Devil: another prey to feast on I will enjoy this.
All the sudden 3 more mantis devil appeared and they looked at Ryan like he was five star meal.
Mantis devil 2: like hell we haven't had a meal in 2 days this pray is ours!
While they were arguing about who gets to eat him but a gun shot was heard and one of the mantis's head was blown of killing it instantly.
And they all turned to Ryan who had a red and black hand gun and the hole was smoking.
Mantis devil: how the hell did he- oh shit this human is executioner!!
Ryan: damn right I am so you better pray to whatever entity there is out there because I'm here to put you down.
The mantis charged at Ryan and he fought them off while this fight was happening Ryan remembered what his dad who is azazel told him about this creatures.
(Flashback)
Ryan who was in his 16 approach his dad who was doing some organizing on his books.
Ryan: hey dad why in your books do you have demons and devils sound like two different things aren't they one in the same?
Azazel: well in a way they are they same but no.
Ryan: can you explain more clearly?
Azazel: well there is a place under hell called the netherworld it's a place inhabited by creatures that are similar to demons but unlike them they are more like the demons people imagine grotesque monsters in all shapes and sizes.
Ryan: but what's the difference between the netherworld and hell? Are they the same?
Azazel: the netherworld is the ideal hell a place with rocks fire and lava it's not like the hell I described.
Ryan: ok but how come they can travel here in the human world?
Azazel: well that's thanks to demons who enter here to cause trouble thanks to there demonic presence here the devils made a way to travel here they made their own domain in areas like for example say a school or hospitals and they make a pocket dimension that they can use to drag their victims and eat them.
Ryan: that explains why they weren't spotted in the news.
Azazel: yup went that started I made connections to churches and I told them about the devils and I told them the only way for human to defend themselves against these creatures were holy rituals and weapons with a heavenly amulet or marking like heaven's own pentagram or a cross.
Ryan: but I have been doing it with just my demon and angel abilities how come spray cans how come I can do it with just that?
Azazel: because you are a fallen angel so you have access to demonic powers so when you are near a domain of a devil all you have to do is make a demonic symbol and that's it you are in.
Ryan: so to recap the different between devils and demons it's that demons look less threatening while devils look like monsters?
Azazel: yup.
Ryan: And how come demons don't travel there?
Azazel: Lucifer and the sins closed it off since the netherworld was dangerous thanks to the devil's behavior they saw it fitting to seal it off so that nobody in hell would get attacked by these things.
Ryan: so what this netherworld is like a super hell?
Azazel: yeah pretty much
Ryan got out a small book with a pen attached to it and he wrote it down for reference.
Ryan: thanks dad and don't be late for dinner mom is making beef stew for dinner tonight.
Azazel stopped and looked his son with a smile.
Azazel: Ryan did I ever told you and your mother how much I love you two?
Ryan just rolled his eyes with a smile on his face.
Ryan: all the time dad I'll be going home.
Azazel: I'll come too i can just have my staff put up the books for me.
Ryan: you just want to come because you want to eat mom's beef stew.
Azazel grabbed his son's head and gave him an noogie.
Azazel: of course I do your mom makes the best beef stew I ever had in centuries.
Azazel and Ryan walked out of the libary with smiles on their faces.
(Flashback ends)
Back to the present there were piles of dead mantis devils everywhere and this continued to the main layer were the queen of the mantis had all of her legs cut off and was arm less and losing a lot of blood.
Ryan walked up to the dying queen and she looked at him like he was the king of hell himself.
Ryan: game over.
Queen mantis: who the hell are you not even the strongest priests could beat me you are just a boy who are you?
Ryan: me I'm no one special I'm just the son of a fallen angel.
He swung down his dagger and cut off the queen's head killing her.
When he did he was back at the underpass but this time he didn't feel a demonic presence.
So he got into his car and he drove off back to his house.
