Reincarnated to become a Demon Supreme-Chapter 28: Hellish Desert
Alex, swung back, took his scythe and decapitated it before it could charge once more. The three were just watching the spectacle happen. Alex put away his weapon, and walked towards the body. He reached out and nothing came out. It was as though he was fighting a shell with nothing inside.
’This makes no sense, what the hell is happening here.’ As Alex was in thought, Other Scorpions emerged, 3 in total. They charged towards the team, to which they made quick work off. Alex quickly activated his Spiritual sight... Before him were souls, but he couldn’t do anything to them.
’Is this perhaps an illusion I’m not aware of, He looked up in the sky, hung up in the sky was the sun. The sweltering heat made his guess a bit shaky, the sweat dripping down his face told a different story. "Let’s go before anything else comes out. " Bruce commanded.
They chose a random direction and started walking. The walk was long with no end in sight, Everyone seemed to be dried out, As for Alex, he was completely fine, The Chaos Armour was cooling him off despite its rubber like texture. The condition was completely controlled by him.
"Hey Alex, are you able to do that for me too? I can’t take this heat anymore." Trister asked, envy evident in her eyes. The weather had her looking like she just fought in a pit of sand. Her hair was a mess, the eyewear protected her eyes from the salty sweat dripping down,
Listening to her request, Alex’s eyes got a bit excited, the excitement had her taking a step back. "What with that crazed look in your eyes"... " Don’t overthink, You just gave me an idea I never tried to pursue, I never tried using my chaos shadow cloak on someone else but me. " Realisation hit her, her face was red with what she was thinking.
"Come closer" He raised his hand, a jelly tar road like substance started to drip out, but upon a closer look, you couldn’t help but be taken in by the mesmerising starry liquid. The moment it touched her skin, it started moving like a snake. Covering and wrapping around every single part of her body. The moment her body was fully covered, all the men of the group could help but stare. Every part of her was drawn out.
Alex, then came into his senses, then the outfit started to get a bit loose, looking more like a woman ’s outfit than tights . "Wow Alex, you really have taste, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you went to demon school of fashion" Trister said as she checked out her outfit. Marcel couldn’t wait, he quickly reached out, and the same process took place.. Long pants, T-shirt and a trench coat.
It was odd seeing people wear winter clothes while it was scorching hot. He went and did it for Bruce as well, Bruce didn’t want it at first but Alex informed him of the extra protection it provides, to which he agreed to. Soon a squad of fully dressed individuals were walking in the desert. In about 3 hours of walking, they saw an oasis not far from where they are.
In just 20 minutes they were able to reach it. The water looked fresh but oddly dark in the bottom. The moment Alex touched it, he felt temperatures near freezing point. "Guys, I think our way out is through down there". Why do you think that Bruce asked?
"One thing I noticed about this place so far is that, is giving us exactly what we expect. We saw snow in the mirror, and the chilling wind made us yawn for some heat, that’s how we got here. The moment we were in the desert I’m pretty sure I thought of those old movies where the protagonist gets chased by giant scorpions whenever they get to the desert.
The group lightly nodded, meaning they thought about it too. Now all we could think about is to be saved from this hellish heat and cool down. Thus..."
He pointed at the body of water. They put their hands in and they too felt the chill. " Of course getting away from here has to be some kind of hellish experience" Trister said, she just got the chaos shadow clothing so they were just getting comfortable being under the son. "You don’t have to worry about that. He went and tapped their fore heard, the moment he did that, they only felt connected to their outfits.
"Now you can change your outfit however you want, but bare in mind, I had only connected this outfit to your shallow thoughts, soon it will fade out and the outfit will dissipate into a shadow... "Whoa, you can do that as well? But why are you giving us control over your power." Marcel asked, to which Alex turned his head and looked at the body of water.
"I have a feeling we might get separated, only for a moment, but who knows how time works in there " Alex had already looked through the dark pool of water with his spiritual eyes, he could see some elements that distort the space around them. "What is surprising is that there were four whirlpools. Making it easy for him to guess what the Dimension had in store next,
Together it couldn’t pin point their individual pain, trauma, fear, unaccepted truth. And one’s fear might be another’s pleasure. "Know one thing, this is not just an armour, it doubles as a weapon, find a way to incorporate it into your powers and you might find an increased boost in power."
"Are you being for real with that?" Trister asked. To which he agreed." Once you make it to the other side, find some place where you take off your out fit, Your weak fabric might also be restricting you from fully appreciating your speed" Then he looked at Marcel. "This is chaos energy, a mixture of all kinds of elements, I don’t need to explain much from there. " Then finally Bruce..
"Um. Death is death, you on your on that" Bruce understood.
