~ Narration ~

The City shook.

The Continent shook.

All of Planet Earth rumbled deeply as a power that it didn't have the ability to contain descended on it.

Every single Infernal that was still alive on the Planet felt it all at once. Not a single one of them were Patriarchs or Matriarchs. And likewise, not a single one of them were strong enough or high enough in any organizational hierarchy to have heard and understand the words Raizen just spoke.

This was an experience that they have never went through.

They were shaking far more than the planet was.

It was one thing to experience the presence of the being through the use of Vorrash, but that was quite literally dampened by a veil and they pretty much felt nothing but a microscopic piece of the terror that dwelled beyond the veil.

And even just that piece was enough to cause a serious amount of fear to sprout, yet not enough that they forgot to show and feel reverence.

This…was different.

Although the being would never hurt another Infernal, and it cared for all of them. That didn't mean that they couldn't feel fear.

It wasn't the type of fear born out feeling something could hurt you. No, this was a natural state of fear.

The type where soul itself overruled the mind.

No matter how much you tried to hide it, or rise up against it, it would all be pointless.

In all of current existence, there were only a few beings who could truly bear the weight of who Raizen summoned.

A few people with the exceptions of the Infernal Progenitors.

The Matriarchs and Patriarchs who formed the massive Clans that dictated everything in the Infernal Race. And if the entire Planet could shake under the pressure, then those outside of the Planet could feel it too.

A mass of black flames that were large enough to devour Earth ten times over paused its activity and immediately began shrinking to reveal the monster of a woman that dwelled within.

She was almost seven feet in height, her pitch black hair flowed down all the way to her waist, and it formed a beautiful contrast with her rich mahogany skin.

Hey eyes were blood red, and the spear she held in her hands was big enough to serve as a small tree.

This was the Matriarch of the Gravile Clan. Before Raizen, she was one of the 'younger' Matriarchs, and she was also one of the two Dominion Realm cultivators on the battlefield.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

A battlefield that lacked the presence of death despite all of the fighting that's been going on.

Though it was quite easy to figure out why. On one side there were the Vhampryls. There were only five of them.

Four Domain Realm Blood Commanders and one singular Blood Lord. The Blood Lord and his commanders were fighting a pure defensive battle. They didn't care one bit about defeating the Infernals here.

They've existed alongside Infernals for millions of years and by now, they knew all too well that defeating them here would be mostly pointless as the Infernals themselves hadn't even sent a massive force to repel them.

Massive in terms of numbers at least.

There was still a Powerful Infernal Matriarch here. The type of beings that didn't move unless situation was important enough to have Multiversal impact…or there was a young Patriarch on the Planet below.

But of course, this is not how the Infernals handle war. It was not something they half assed or dipped their toes in lazily.

War was war, and they would always welcome it with open arms and grant it the respect and ruthlessness it deserved.

So while the Blood Lord and the Matriarch was fighting a pure defensive battle here, the same couldn't be said about the situation a multitude of Universes away from Earth.

In the void surrounding the Territory of Blood, a catastrophic battle was taking place.

All Six remaining Blood Lords, and host of other immortals were engaging in what another might refer to as a doomsday level of warfare in the void against the Infernals. The after effects alone of the clash of Eternal Flames against the blood of Immortals was enough to turn entire planets to ash…

Both the Blood Lord and the Matriarch were aware of the happenings near the Territory of Blood, and both of them were mostly content to continue this stalemate of a battle.

But for two very different reasons.

The Blood Lord was playing the time game. He knew that a 1st Stage Immortal was on the Planet, and that level of power couldn't be defeated by no amount of mortals. The Ritual would be completed and all of this would be worth it.

While the Matriarch was holding herself back because this was important moment for the growth of Raizen.

She didn't know Raizen personally, but he was a fellow Progenitor and a Patriarch of his young Clan. And this is how Infernals did things.

This will not be his last war and if Planet Infernal ran to his rescue every time he faced seemingly staggering odds, then he would never grow.

Now that wasn't to say he wouldn't receive support, there were 10,000 Infernals on the Planet to prove that he would, but that level of support would only help him to a point.

She was aware of the situation, but this would be Raizen's battle to fight…well that was the case until she felt the presence of being she knew all too well.

Even the Blood Lord felt it and his eyes narrowed dangerously as he watched the Blood Veil around the Planet ripple and shake until it couldn't handle the weight anymore and shattered just like that.

The Blood Lord scowled.

The Matriarch grinned.

And the she opened her mouth.

"You have done well Little Brother. Zal."

Elder Zal appeared right behind the Matriarch.

"Yes Matriarch."

"Go support the young Patriarch, he will be on death's door after this is over."

"By your will Matriarch."

Of course the Blood Lord wasn't standing still watching this happen.

"She doesn't enter that Planet. Kill her then reform the Veil immediately."

Then the Matriarch immediately started laughing.

"Hahahaha…I can finally let loose…

"Thrazul"

The Matriarch's spear was already 12 feet in length, but after she spoke, the spear quickly expanded in both length and width and very quickly the spear was now about a foot diameter while it's length reached upwards of 20 feet.

But the expansion hadn't stopped there.

Her already tall frame more than doubled in height and she now stood around 16 feet.

The Matriarch embodied the Law of Expansion.

Of course, it wasn't just the Matriarch and Elder Zal on the battlefield. She had a few other Infernals with her as well.

She had one order for them.

"Protect the Planet, I won't be holding back."

Needless to say, a catastrophic battle had erupted in the space outside of Planet Earth.
