Abyss Watcher In The League V2 59 Ch56: Blood

The doors to the chamber opened, Ama opened her eyes to see who it was to see it was Irelia. The Blade Dancer seemed a little hesitant to approach, but seeing that the sun G.o.ddess didn't show any sign of being against it, she came in.

"Is there something you need, Xan Irelia?" Amaterasu asked as the captain of the Ionian guards stopped in front of her.

Irelia nodded in confirmation. "Yes, you see…" she trailed off, seemingly still hesitant.

"Come now, child, speak up," Amaterasu encouraged, sounding as supportive as possible.

Taking a deep breath, the Blade Dancer finally spoke. "Why the Abyss Watcher?" Amaterasu's raised eyebrow caused Irelia to keep speaking. "Why did you pick him specifically? He is no Ionian, no spiritual Warrior, and no one special to Ionia. So, why did you choose him for G.o.dhood?"

Amaterasu seemed amused, judging by the smile on her face. She didn't blame Irelia for being skeptical. Being from the house of Xan, she was bound to be someone who upholds the traditions. "You are right, he is none of those things," Irelia seems to be taken back by the sun G.o.ddess admitting it. "However, he does have something that Ionians search for, and that is Balance," the Blade Dancer seemed more confused. "Tell me, what do you think Balance is?"

Irelia seemed to be in thought for a few seconds before answering. "I believe that Balance is the state of being one with your own spirit, being in an equal state of mind all the time."

"Of course you do," Amaterasu mumbled rolling her eyes, as if have heard that answer a hundred times already and was tired of it. "This is why we didn't set foot in Ionia for such a long time. You people have lost the true meaning of Balance," the look Irelia gave her asked for an explanation. "Balance is about accepting yourself as who you are. It is about accepting the past, not worrying yourself with the future, and focusing on the present. That is why I picked Okami, because he has that Balance within himself."

The Blade Dancer raised an eyebrow. "By Okami, you mean the Abyss Watcher?" she asked to make sure and the sun G.o.ddess nodded. "Well, couldn't you have at least picked someone Ionian?"

"Ionia cannot survive fighting on its own," Amaterasu said and Irelia seemed like she would protest but the sun G.o.ddess spoke again. "I am not denying the strength of Ionia, but even you have to admit that, sooner or later, a time will come where it needs help. Tell me, what do you plan to do when Mordekaiser comes for Ionian?"

At that question, Irelia remained silent. Truthfully, she was actually downright frightened of the day that Mordekaiser might come for Ionia. After all, Noxus, the land that scarred Ionia, was just the leftovers of Mordekaiser's old kingdom. It took the entire Noxian army and traitors from Mordekaiser's own forces to bring him down the first time.

And, even then, the tyrant still came back and managed to take back a part of Noxus along with a part of the Shadow Isles all on his own. Not to mention that, to a necromancer as powerful as Mordekaiser, Ionia is like an infinite well of power that he can tap into just by standing on the spiritual land.

All and all, Ionia actually had no way to fight Mordekaiser should he set his sights on Ionia, and would really need allies. "I see your point," Irelia admitted, although a little reluctantly. "But, I'm not willing to befriend ourselves with Noxians."

Amaterasu smirked at that statement. "Really? Because I remember that you have a soft spot for a certain Noxian exile," as soon as she said that, her mouth was covered by the hands of a red-faced Irelia.

The Blade Dancer looked absolutely shocked, whether it was because of what the sun G.o.ddess said or because she just did something as disrespectful as covering her G.o.ddess' mouth like that, she herself didn't know.

Looking around to make sure no one was in earshot, Irelia slowly moved her hands away. "You… know?" she asked to make sure.

"You're the captain of the Ionian guards, and I'm the G.o.ddess of this nation, so of course I would know what you're up to," Amaterasu explained, making Irelia realize that her position makes her someone who is watched by their deities.

Looking down in shame, the Blade Dancer asked, "And… you don't mind?"

Much to her relief, the sun G.o.ddess shook her head. "Why would I? I have seen what happened to her, and I have no doubt that she would choose Ionia over Noxus any day," Irelia sighed at Amaterasu's words.

The captain of the Ionian guards hasn't felt that relieved since she realized that the dance her grandmother taught her wasn't just for show. "Alright," Irelia cleared her throat to get her posture back. "That was all. I wish you farewell for now, Lady Amaterasu," she then turned around and left the chamber.

While walking through the door, Irelia pa.s.sed by Ahri, who was just coming into the chamber herself. Both of them took a curious glance at the other one, before continuing on their own way.

Amaterasu looked at Ahri as she approached her. "Well, if it isn't the Nine-Tailed Fox," the sun G.o.ddess sounded as if she was expecting her current guest. "Is there something I can help you with?"

Ahri nodded. "Yes. I wanted to ask if you…" she trailed off, almost scared of the question itself.

"You are wondering if I know anything about your people, correct?" Amaterasu asked causing Ahri's eyes to widen. "It is rather obvious. Is that why you didn't volunteer to leave with Okami?" the Nine-Tailed Vastayan lowered her head in shame, obviously regretting how selfish it sounded. Truthfully, Amaterasu didn't blame her. There are a few beings out there that might know, but they're not exactly the kind that would be willing to share their knowledge. In other words, Amaterasu was Ahri's only hope at knowing about people like her. "As for your question, yes, I do know."

Ahri couldn't look more shocked if she tried. "Y-You do!?" she asked, almost not believing what she heard. She couldn't finish her question earlier because of the fear that Amaterasu might not know. "Please, you have to tell me!" the desperation was obvious in her voice.

The sun G.o.ddess looked at Ahri with a look similar to that of sympathy. "I believe you should wait for Okami to return," the Nine-Tailed Vastayan was beyond confused. Just as she was about to protest, Amaterasu spoke again. "Trust me, child, you will need him to be here for you. I will not tell you until he returns."

Ahri's look morphed into one of anger. She was very tempted to either yell at the G.o.ddess or try to use her emotional magic to force her into saying what she knows. But, the Nine-Tailed Vastayan took a deep breath realizing that both choices would end up with her being turned to a bile of ash.

She didn't even believe that her magic can work on someone as powerful as Amaterasu. There were limits to Ahri's magic. The only reason that it worked on champions who are powerful beings is because the summoners greatly limit their abilities during matches.

The Fox Vastayan looked back at the sun G.o.ddess. "Do you promise to tell me when he returns?" Amaterasu nodded at Ahri's request. "Thank you," Ahri said in grat.i.tude before turning around and making her way to the exit.

While walking out of the room, Ahri past by Tiara, who was carrying someone over her shoulder. The Fox Vastayan was curious about what the Dancer was up to, but she was already mentally tired from the talk with Amaterasu so she just walked off deciding not to get involved and give herself a headache.

The sun G.o.ddess sighed as she saw Tiara come in. "Here's your drunk of a brother," the Outrider Knight said dropping an unconscious Susano and the other man, Yasou, in front of Amaterasu.

To say the sun G.o.ddess was shocked would be an understatement. "You out-drank him?" she was honestly surprised since the last person to beat her brother in drinking was the Ferljordian G.o.d of the forge, Ornn.

"If you call that 'Sake' stuff alcohol, then yes," Tiara replied with a sigh of annoyance. The Ionian drinks did have a good taste to it, but it was still too weak compared to their world's drinks.

The Dancer turned away and was about to head out of the chamber to find something else to do when Amaterasu spoke. "Can I ask you something?" Tiara looked at the G.o.ddess over her shoulder and nodded, giving her permission. "How did you end up the way you are?"

Tiara raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

"I can sense your G.o.dly blood," Tiara's eyes narrowed to a glare from Amaterasu's statement. "So, I ask, how did you end up like this instead of a G.o.ddess?"

The Dancer held her glare, but the G.o.ddess didn't falter. Amaterasu can tell that Tiara had a rough life, which shouldn't happen to G.o.ds or their descendants, so it got her wondering what could have happened to Tiara that made her what she is.

After a few seconds of silence, the Outrider knight finally spoke. "Simply put, I lived like a mortal, and mortals offered me more than the G.o.ds ever did."

That answer only caused more questions to appear in the G.o.ddess' head. But, before she can voice any of them, the Dancer walked out of the room with obvious intent at avoiding any further conversation on the subject.

Amaterasu sighed. She decided to not bring this up again to Tiara since it wasn't her business. She knew that Grey might know the truth, but that was a family matter… and right now, she had her own to deal with. "What in the name of Aurelion Sol am I going to do with you?" she sighed, looking at her pa.s.sed out brother.

Timeskip: (Brought to you by Chibi Ahri and Chibi Grey sitting under a cherry blossom tree and drinking some sake.)

Meanwhile, in another part of Ionia, Grey, Akali, Kayn, and Rakan were walking through a forest that is filled with large trees that had orange and yellow leaves. The sun was setting on the horizon, causing the sky to be covered in an orange glow.

"So much for 'I'll never say anything'," Rakan commented with a chuckle, mocking the cultist that they questioned. "That guy was talking so fast I could hardly keep up."

Both a.s.sa.s.sins smirked while Rhaast chuckled. Grey remained quiet as they kept walking through the forest. "We should be careful. The cultist said that they were close at releasing the Demon," the Abyss Watcher informed them.

It was at this moment that Kayn thought of something. "Rhaast, do you know anything about blood demons?" he asked believing that, with how old the Darkin is, he should know something.

"Well, demons and G.o.ds have always been more of Aatrox's specialty, but I did pick up a few things," Rhaast replied. Truthfully, he never figured out how Aatrox had so much knowledge on these things. There were rumors that the Darkin Blade used to be a G.o.d himself, but they were never confirmed, so all the other Darkin shrugged it off. "From what I know, they're very tricky to deal with. Blood magic, like what that Vladimir guy uses, is mostly based on their powers but not completely. It would be stupid to fight them without any magical backup, which is why it's a good thing that bird brain here came with us," the scythe finished motioning to Rakan with his eye.

"Hey, that's MISTER bird brain for you," Rakan retorted jokingly.

Akali smirked and rolled her eyes. Despite the situation, she found it amusing how they were arguing. She then looked at Grey and decided to ask something he's been wondering. "Hey, Grey, I want to ask you something," the Abyss Watcher looked at her. "What are your thoughts now that you're about to be a G.o.d?"

Rakan and Kayn turned their looks towards the Lord of Cinder. To say they were curious would be an understatement since the closest people to become G.o.ds were the ascendants from Shurima. Rhaast didn't seem to care. Mainly because all Darkin had some type of animosity towards deities, Aatrox more than the rest.

"To put it simply, I'm beyond annoyed," Grey's response caused them to look at him in confusion. "As I said, I do not respect G.o.ds, and the thought of being one is… irritating to say the least."

"That's something I've been wondering, why do you disrespect G.o.ds?" Rakan asked. He always saw Grey as the cool-headed, respecting type, and doesn't do things without a reason.

For a moment, they saw a mixture of sadness and anger in Grey's eyes. "Because, if G.o.ds care about us mortals… then why would a baby be left in the middle of a poisonous swamp filled with monsters?"

The other males were confused about that statement, while Akali gave out a silent curse. She remembered what Ahri had told her about Grey's past, and she honestly never heard something so tragic.

The rogue a.s.sa.s.sin also now understood why Grey doesn't respect G.o.ds. It was because of experience. She realized that Grey saw mortal suffering of all shapes and sizes, but never once saw the G.o.ds help. Truthfully, she didn't blame him for disrespecting the G.o.ds now.

Thinking quickly, Akali immediately went to change the subject. "Anyway, let's talk about something else. How's your new love life with Ahri?" while she asked it for Grey's sake, the rogue a.s.sa.s.sin couldn't stop the slightly teasing tone in her voice.

The look in Grey's eyes softened and a smile appeared behind the neck of his shirt. "To be honest with you, I've never been so happy," his tone took a 180-degree change from the previous one. "It's honestly amazing. Waking up to her face every day is enough to make me happy for the rest of it," Rakan almost looked proud, while Akali and Kayn wondered if they'll ever have someone like that, and Rhaast made some gagging noises, making sure his disgust was evident. "But, I can't help but feel worried. I've never been on a relationship before, and I'm in constant fear that I might mess up."

"That's pretty normal," Rakan said as he started recalling when he met his own lover. "You know, before I met Xayah, I never was in a relationship. I mean, I used to move around a lot and flirt here and there, but I never actually dated anyone. And, when I started dating Xayah, I became worried that I would screw it up. But, I realized something: if I'm so scared of messing up and losing her, that just means I truly love her. So, just live up to your feelings, and you won't have a problem."

Grey truly appreciate the encouraging words. Akali and Kayn stayed quiet, letting the Abyss Watcher and the charmer have their talk. Meanwhile, Rhaast didn't know what was worse: being stuck in his scythe, or having to listen to their talk.

After a few moments of silence, the group came across a church-like building that was hidden by the large trees of the forest. The building was black and looked to be really old, covered in moss and dust.

"Remain quiet, and let's see if we can catch them by surprise," Grey ordered and they all nodded.

Walking quietly, they all made their way to the side of the church and looked for a point of entry. "Over there," Akali said pointing up.

They all saw her pointing at a broken window near the top. "How are we getting to-" Rakan's question was answered before he can finish it when he saw Grey go to a nearby tree and start climbing.

Akali and Kayn followed his example and went to the same tree before they started climbing. The charmer shrugged his shoulders before following them. Climbing trees wasn't really his thing, but he supposed now wasn't the time for personal preference.

Making it to the top, Grey tapped on one of the branches with his foot to test how st.u.r.dy it is. After confirming that it can hold their weight, the Abyss Watcher walked on the branch until he was close enough to jump into the window, where he ended up standing on the frame.

Grey looked around while the other three waited for him to tell them it was okay to go in. The Lord of Cinder spotted one of the rafters of the ceiling close by and jumped on it. Looking out of the window, he motioned to the others with his hand to come in.

They all came in, with Kayn struggling a little to get Rhaast through the window frame, and stood beside Grey on the rafters to overlook the inside of the church. They managed to see what is going on.

The church was entirely cleared out with nothing inside but a pedestal with a red crystal ball on it. There were 12 people in the room, all of them wearing the same uniform as the cultists in the bar. 6 of the cultists were in a circle around the pedestal, chanting something with a circle of runes glowing under them. The remaining six were standing behind them looking around, apparently being guards.

"I'm no expert on demonology, but it looks like they're pretty close to summoning that Demon," Akali pointed out, seeing that the crystal ball was getting brighter by the second.

"Then we move in now," Grey said right before jumping off the rafters.

The Abyss Watcher pulled out his sword mid-fall and stabbed it into a cultist as he landed on him. The other Demon worshipers barely had time to register what happened before Grey pulled out his dagger and jumped towards two of them.

Grey anch.o.r.ed his knife on the ground and used it to spin around, using the length of his sword to cut down two cultists without getting close to give them a chance to use their daggers.

Seeing the Abyss Watcher fight, Akali decided to join. "Well, you heard the man," she said right before jumping in her herself.

The rogue a.s.sa.s.sin pulled out her sickle and used to cut the head off a cultist that she landed beside. Seeing two others getting close, she immediately pulled out two kunais and threw them at the Demon worshipers, both being killed with a blade to the heart.

Kayn was the second to jump in, landing right between two cultists. Both of them raised their daggers, but the shadow a.s.sa.s.sin was faster and swung Rhaast in a full circle, cutting both Demon worshipers in half.

There were only five cultists left, all of which went on guard in a group, only for Rakan to suddenly land right in the middle of their group. The charmer spun around, his wing glowing yellow and covering the ground in yellow dust.

When he finished going around in a full circle, the Vastaya jumped in the air, and the cultists were also thrown in the air because of his magic. Seeing their enemies vulnerable, the others attacked.

Akali attacked first by throwing kunais at the still floating men, striking three of them. Kayn came in to attack when they began falling on the ground, swinging Rhaast upwards on one of the falling cultists and sliced him up.

The last two cultists fell on the ground. They were halfway at getting up to attempt running away when Grey's sword cleaved their necks, cutting both their heads off and killing them.

"Well, that was easy," Akali commented as she leaned on one leg while flipping her weapons in her hands. "And we didn't even get to see that so-called 'demon'."

"You just had to say it, didn't you?" Rhaast's sarcasm was not lost in his tone.

Just as the rogue a.s.sa.s.sin was about to ask what the Darkin was talking, they all heard a sudden 'crack'. Looking around, they saw that the crystal ball had a gash in it and that it started breaking.

When the cracks had spread all over the orb, it completely shattered and the pieces floated in the air, forming a perfect circle. From the circle of shards, a large portal of swirling energy formed itself.

They all got ready for battle, Grey more than the rest. The Abyss Watcher swore that if the portal as much as looked like it was trying to suck him in, he would activate the Soul of Death, no questions asked. He had enough portals for a few centuries.

From the portal came out a clawed, skinny, large arm that gripped the edge. Another clawed arm came out of the portal and grabbed the other edge before something started pulling itself out.

What came out of the portal was the Demon that they were sent to deal with. The Demon had a large yet skinny body. Its skin was dark red, the same color as blood. It mostly had a humanoid figure. The head had a single red glowing eye with a mouth that was full of black, razor-sharp teeth. The back of the head and body was covered in tentacles that aimlessly floated in the air.

When the Demon was fully out of the portal, it closed as the creature's legs landed on the ground gently. It started aimlessly looking around with its one eye, almost looking like a newborn child.

"Typical," Rhaast groaned giving Akali a quick glare, believing that she jinxed them.

"Get ready," Grey said preparing his weapons, knowing that the Demon wouldn't look so peaceful for long.

When he said that, the Demon took a deep breath before letting out a blood-curdling roar and covering the entire church in red aura. For some reason, none of the champions could move as the aura reached them.

"W-What's going on?" Akali struggled to ask, wishing that she can at least cover her ears.

"R-Rhaast… what is this?" Kayn asked, wanting to know why he can't move.

"It's Blood Screech!" the Darkin replied, unaffected because he was stuck inside his weapon. "It's a spell that freezes the victims in their place!"

Before any of the champions can ask why he didn't mention this before, the Demon started crawling towards them and grabbed hold of Grey with its large claws before bringing him closer while opening its jaws.

The others tried to move to a.s.sist the Lord of Cinder, but they can only watch as the Demon brought him closer to take a bite out of him… but it never did.

Just as the Demon was mere inches from sinking its fangs into the Abyss Watcher, Grey's body was suddenly covered in green mist before an explosion of green aura erupted from his body, knocking the Demon back while freeing Grey from its grip.

Whatever happened the Demon seemed to free the champions from its magic. "What was-" Akali stopped herself from asking about what happened when she saw Grey's medallion hanging from his waist while glowing green color. Looking at it, the rogue a.s.sa.s.sin can almost hear the growling of a wolf.

The Demon seemed to regain its senses back and looked to be rather angry. Screeching in rage, the Demon swung its arm, hitting the Abyss Watcher with a powerful strike from the back of its hand. Grey was sent crashing through the doors of the church, rolling on the ground and stopping on his front.

"Grey!" Akali was about to go and check on the Lord of Cinder, were it not for the fact that she had to jump to her side in order to avoid being smashed under the Demons incoming arm.

Kayn moved in on the arm, taking advantage of how close it was and managed to land a cut with Rhaast. But, he didn't get the chance to do more damage as one of the Demon's tentacles lashed at him and sent him crashing into one of the Church's walls.

"Pathetic!" Rhaast growled at his host as he stood back up. "Just let me in control so I can kill it already!"

"I didn't hit my head hard enough to do that," Kayn replied, knowing that the Darkin was just taking his chance to control his host.

Meanwhile, a smoke bomb had struck the Demon's head, covering its eye. Akali jumped in and used the short distraction to throw a kunais at the creature. While they did hit their mark, the thrown blades didn't go deep in the Demon's body because of its strong skin.

The rogue a.s.sa.s.sin immediately rolled out of the way as one of the tentacles tried to whip her. A glowing magical feather suddenly struck the Demon's head, causing it to turn its attention towards Rakan.

The creature was obviously annoyed rather than harmed, which is proven by the fact that it simply tried to swat away Rakan like he was a bug. The charmer barely managed to jump over the arm and get to Kayn's side to heal him from the earlier hit.

Meanwhile, outside, Grey lay motionless on the ground. The sun had long set and the moon was high in the sky. The moonlight was shining down and its glow reflected off Grey's medallion as a wolf's howling was heard in the distance.

Flashback:

In a large, stone chamber was a child, rather long for his age, which was around ten years old. The child had short, pure white hair, and blue eyes. He was wearing a tattered brown shirt and trousers. Dark boots and gloves. Around his neck was a red scarf.

The child was standing in front of a large, undead looking wolf that seemed to be sleeping in front of a gravestone with blades of various sizes around it. In the boy's hands, was a green medallion with the crest of a wolf's head in it.

"Ah, there you are, Grey," the child, who is a young Grey, turned around and saw one of the Abyss Watchers entering the chamber through a stone doorframe. "You should really let someone know that you would leave to see the Old Wolf of Farron," he instructed.

The young boy nodded. "Sorry. I just have a lot on my mind," he apologized looking back to the Old Wolf.

"Are you thinking about how Ghear is coming to take you tomorrow?" the Abyss Watcher's question was answered by a simple nod. He moved in to stand beside the boy. "You shouldn't really worry. You might be young, but we all believe that you would return here with your training complete."

Grey nodded again, but something still seemed to be troubling him. "Is it wrong?" the man looked down on him in confusion. "Our oath… I do not completely know what it means, so is that wrong?"

To his surprise, the Abyss Watcher started chuckling. "Of course not. You're still young, and you cannot know everything on you're own," Grey looked at the Abyss Watcher with a look that clearly asked for an explanation. "Let me ask you something, have you ever heard about a wolf abandoning its pack?" the young boy shook his head, showing that his answer was 'no'. "Well, let me ask you something else, have you ever heard of a wolf pack abandoning one of their own?" another shake from Grey's head was the answer. The Abyss Watcher then knelt down, turned Grey, and held him by the shoulder. "That is what our oath stands for. It does not stand for our strength alone. It also stands for our powers united. We Abyss Watchers stand together, even after the end. You part-took the Wolf's Blood, so whenever you pick up your sword, know that every other Abyss Watcher is holding it with you."

Grey looked deeply in thought before glancing at the medallion in his hands. Clutching it tightly, the boy looked at the Abyss Watcher with a determined look and nodded, fully understanding what their oath stands for.

Flashback End:

Back to the present, Grey's arm started getting closer to the handle of his sword, before tightly grabbing it. Feeling his firm hold on his weapon, the now full-fledged Abyss Watcher opened his now red eyes. "Fear the Wolf's Blood," he mumbled their oath as he stood back up.

Back inside the church, the others weren't doing very well. Their attacks barely manage to cut through the Demon's skin, and Rakan's magic seemed to only irritate it more than anything.

Kayn slashed at one of its legs with Rhaast before jumping back to avoid getting whipped with a tentacle again. Akali threw a star that managed to land on its shoulder, but a quick move from the Demon's arm and the blade fell on the ground.

Suddenly, the Demon stopped and slowly turned its look towards the entrance of the church. The others looked and saw Grey walking in. They were relieved to see him alright, but also a little concerned because they were hoping he'd come with a flaming sword.

The Demon growled at the Abyss Watcher before it tried to whip him with one of its tentacles. Grey sidestepped at the very last second and then cut the extended tentacle off before it can go back into its owner.

The Blood Demon let out a pained growl as it raised its arm and tried to bring it down on Grey. The Lord of Cinder, like before, waited for the last second before rolling forward, avoiding being crushed under the Demon's large limb.

Ending up near the Demon's body, Grey swiftly stood back up and positioned his sword right under the armpit of the arm that the Demon just tried to crush him with. With a strong push of his blade, Grey managed to cut the arm completely off, causing it to fall on the ground.

The Blood Demon screeched in pain as blood started gushing from the now-empty arm socket. It immediately tried to use its other arm to back-hand the Abyss Watcher away from itself.

Grey rolled away from the Demon's incoming hit. Standing on his feet again, the Lord of Cinder strapped his sword forward at the Demon's side. The length of the blade allowed the tip to pierce its target, even though the Abyss Watcher rolled away from it.

The Demon jumped away, making it to the back of the church while clutching where it's arm used to be. It obviously viewed Grey as a threat judging by the cautious look in its eye as it viewed him.

The creature started taking in air, making the others realize what it's about to do. "Oh, no, not again," Akali almost pleaded, not wanting to be frozen by the beast again.

The Demon let out another Blood Screech. Kayn and Akali were protected by Rakan, who jumped between them and created a magical shield around them. However, the shield wasn't far enough to reach Grey.

But much to their surprise, the Abyss Watcher seemed to be unaffected by the Blood Screech as he simply continued walking forward towards the Demon. The other three champions can swear they see silhouettes of Abyss Watchers, all of them putting their hands on Grey's back and pushing him forward.

Meanwhile, the Demon seemed to start panicking. It definitely saw Grey as a danger, not just because of the damage he did, but also because his spell seemed to be useless to stop him.

Desperate, the Demon simply opted to attack the Lord of Cinder, hoping that it would take him down. It raised its arm and brought it down, attempting to smash the Abyss Watcher under its large limb.

However, that proved to be a grave mistake. Grey simply jumped back from the arm, before jumping on it when it smashed on the ground and using it as a footstool to jump towards the Demon.

The Abyss Watcher spun in the air and landed on the back of the Demon's neck. Grey grabbed onto the Demon while stabbing his dagger in its throat for a stronger hold on its body.

Panicking, the Demon started thrashing around the church. Its tentacles swinging around in a wild fashion. It started moving and jumping through the church, in an attempt to get the Abyss Watcher off its back.

Akali, Kayn, and Rakan could only stare in shock as the Demon tried to shake Grey off. To them, it was like watching a wolf jump on its prey and sink its fangs in their neck. They all knew one thing, when a wolf does that, he's not letting go until his prey drops.

The Blood Demon kept on thrashing, smashing its back on a few walls before hitting one a little too hard and ending up breaking right through it, landing outside of the church. Rakan dropped the magical shield and they all walked outside to see what happened.

They found the Demon laying on the ground, obviously exhausted from all the earlier thrashing. It tried to raise its head off the ground, only for a boot to step on the side of its head and pushed it back down.

The Demon's one eye looked up at Grey who was looking at it with his own red eyes. The Abyss Watcher put his knife away and held his sword in reverse grip before raising it in the air, the moonlight gleaming over the blade.

Unable to do anything, the Demon can only watch helplessly as the Lord of Cinder brought down his sword and stabbed it right through its head before its life ended, its last memory was Grey looking it straight in the eye.

The other champions can only watch in shock as the Abyss Watcher had just finished the Demon. It was at this moment that they realized that, if anyone is worthy of being a G.o.d of Blood… then it's definitely Grey.

(A/N: Thank you for reading this.

First, not a lot of people liked the previous chapter. They kept saying that Grey is a Lord of Cinder and he doesn't need G.o.dhood. I'd like to say that Grey is merely going to be a G.o.d mainly by name, and nothing else. He only accepted to make sure that Ahri is safe from political abuse. With her past and the fact that no records of her exist, you can't deny that it gives people a good excuse to pick on her.

Second, no Lord soul this time, mainly because he didn't need it. The Blood Demon was strong, but Grey fought the Abyss on a daily basis, and that's is much tougher.

Third, Yes, the Blood Demon is based on the Nameless Moon Presence. I just thought I'd include Bloodborne a little. Also, what protected Grey from the Demon will be explained in the next chapter.

Fourth, about Amaterasu knowing about what happened to Ahri's people, that is purely my idea. It won't change Ahri's past or lore, this is just my idea on why there's nothing about her people, so don't worry.

And lastly, more of Tiara's past is shown a little. For those who want to know what happened to her, it won't be long.

Again, thank you for reading this. Please comment, review, and give me your thoughts on my story.)
