Chapter 21 - Ungar Arrives.

The battle between Taipei and Daniel had begun an hour earlier and it this point

Daniel was exhausted and losing a lot of blood. During the battle Quilu the Orc had

jumped ship and fled like a coward. Everything seemed lost. "Well it looks like the

Gate Keeper dies here... what a pity! But honestly you can't be surprised look what

you're going up against. Just be honest the fact that you were in the very position

you were in was a mistake you were never meant to be the Gate Keeper it was

clearly some kind of cosmic fluke so just give up. Give in to the sweet release of

death. Anyway I'm done talking to you. Its time to end this once and for all." Said

Taipei. Taipei who was a giant lifted his foot above his head and was ready to

stomp on Daniel and he did just that but when he lifted his foot up nothing was

there. He was confused. Until he saw a caped figure several feet away from him. Jr.

closed his eyes but opened them when he heard no sound he looked behind him

and there was Ungar holding Daniel and using some kind of spell on him. Daniel

began to slowly cough, and woke up. He told Jr. and Daniel to take the bodies of

the other four somewhere far away being Zaiyal, Sarai, Narcis and Tatu they did

just that. He looked around and thought; "Zaiyal, Sarai, Narcis and Tatu,' they

were all my responsibility and I failed them. They're bodies are intact so I can

bring them back but the fact that they're dead in the first place is unacceptable. I

have to stop Taipei before he can hurt anyone else." As Daniel and Jr. flew off with

the other heroes Taipei tried to hit them with an attack but Ungar effortlessly

blocked that attack. And landed on the ground elegantly. The wind was calm and you could cut the tension with a knife. "Well Ungar its been some time since we

last fought I thought the Kraken those Dark Triad Cretans summoned would've

finished you off, but here you are. I guess it will be sweet to finally defeat you

myself. Honestly I can hardly hold back my excitement." Said Taipei. Ungar just

stood there not saying a word. "What's that you must be angry I killed your friends

or are you shaking in your boots. Wait its both isn't it you're filled with fear and

rage." Said Taipei. Ungar continued to remain silent just starring at Taipei. Now

Taipei began to feel angry. "Well say something you Cretan I'm in no mood to have

you disrespect me like this." Said Taipei. Finally Ungar spoke; "I made a mistake

last time we fought Taipei some 500 years ago. I forgot to give you a chance." Said

Ungar. "A chance?" said Taipei. "Yes a chance. Stop your evil ways right now and

leave this place or I will be forced once again to send you to the Underworld."

Said Ungar. There was a brief silence until Taipei began to roar with laughter and

began cackling. "Oh that's hilarious. You think I'm the same Taipei you swatted

like a bug the last time we fought. Well listen up, Lord Zeal gave me new powers

and the hearts of the dragons helped too. I'm a lot more powerful than you or I was

back than. I've changed warlock!" said Taipei. "So have I." said Ungar. "Oh really

well you seem just as powerful as me so I'm not buying it!" said Taipei. "So you

refuse to stop this and leave than?" said Ungar. "Yes of course!" said Taipei. "So

you made up your mind than.

Fine I gave you a chance Demon King. Now you'll

have no one to blame but yourself when I put you down. You should have left when you had the chance." Said Ungar. There's no reason to you fool! You're just as

powerful as you were before!" said Taipei. "That's only the power I'm letting you

see." Said Ungar. "What are you babbling about?" said Taipei. "This." Said Ungar.

Suddenly Ungar's fighting power exploded and a great massive force of energy

surrounded him. "This is impossible! Where is all this power coming from?!" said

Taipei. Ungar was building up an incredible amount of dark energy that he was

ready to launch straight at Demon King Taipei. Ungar had seemingly learned a new

ability before he had the Dark Beam Cannon and variations of this attack as well

as the infamous Event Horizon attack at his disposal. But this new power that he

was building up was like nothing else and Taipei began to worry, he would have to

use his trump card after all and sooner than he would have liked at that. Ungar's

new attack was called; "Cosmic Strike." It condenses the energy of the Cosmos

into a single attack if perfected it could even harness the power of events such as

the Big Bang or a Super Nova. The Cosmic Strike was launched at Taipei and it

seemed that the Demon had been wiped out but then his voice was heard. "I was

worried there for a second Ungar. If you had gotten a little closer to me I would

have been history. But you're not the only one who's powered up, Lord Zeal gave

me a very special gift, would you like to see it?" said Taipei. "Quit babbling you

fool and show it already." Said Ungar. Taipei began to seethe with anger; "You're

going to regret that wizard!" Said Taipei.

As he said this a void of dark energy began to form around Demon King Taipei he slowly began to transform growing

taller and taller. The Demon King was already a giant being over 9 inches tall but

now he easily grew to 12 inches a true titan. He transformed from an Ape or

Gorilla as he was an Ape Demon into some kind of Pig a giant Boar-Like Demon

from the depths of Hell. He began to speak in a booming voice. "Now I'm going to

squash you like a bug warlock! You should make peace with your gods while you

still can!" said Taipei. After he said this Taipei began to throw giant boulders at the

warlock the demon sacrificed none of his speed when he tripled in size. In fact, as

the new Pig Demon he was even faster than he was in his ape form. Ungar dodged

the boulders with ease but he knew he could only keep up this sharade for so long.

As he continued fighting he felt a faint energy in the distance it was Taiping the

Demon and Acon 01 01 01 -012 they were coming. But could Taipei since there

energy in his new Berserker form? Ungar continued dodging for some time and

than transformed himself into a 12 foot version of himself matching Taipei in size

the difference being that Ungar's appearance was identical to his regular form but

was obviously much bigger while Taipei in contrast now resembled a Pig Demon

and not an Ape Demon like he had previously. The two twelve foot giants began

crashing into each other almost like several small mountains were at each other's

throats. In the heat of battle Taipei found an opening and struck Ungar putting him

into a head-lock as he did this he began to laugh and when he put his guard down Quilu the Orc jumped into the air and vomited acidic liquid all over Taipei's face

which began to burn and in his pain Taipei began to shrink and transformed slowly

back into his 9 foot tall Ape Demon form. He scratched at his eyes and began to

search for the Orc who had done this to him. Ungar had shrunk too but he couldn't

quite battle Taipei on an equal footing as he was horribly injured and needed time

to recover with massive cracks in his armor. As this happened Taipei began to look

for Quilu he eventually found him cowering behind a rock which Taipei promptly

smashed revealing the orc. "Please Mr. Demon King I'll join your side and we'll

call it even." Said Quilu. Taipei exploded in anger and started to kick Quilu as he

was literally down. "Don't you ever do that to me again, you filthy Orc

HEATHEN!" said King Taipei. As he said this Ungar tried to strike Taipei from

behind but this didn't work. Luckily for Quilu Taipei got distracted by the warlock

and thus Quilu the Orc was able to flee safely with his life. The battle between

Ungar and Demon King Taipei continued until finally Taipei had the warlock

against the ropes. When all seemed lost and Taipei was ready to seal Ungar into the

underworld. Ungar exploded with power and hit Taipei head first in the gut. Taipei

screamed in pain and stepped backwards. Ungar shot another dark beam at Taipei.

Taipei than attempted another attack but Ungar was ready.

Ungar used his Cosmic

Strike attack but positioned it upwards launching Taipei straight into the sky it seemed as if the Demon King might actually be dead. As this happened, Taiping

and Acon 01 01 01 -012 arrived shocked that Ungar seemed injured but than

regained his strength and than some on his own, Ungar explained its something he

learned from his new master who of course was Miyamoto Musashi. Just Ungar

and the other two were about to leave and check on Daniel and the others. Taipei

fell back to the earth and a huge thud was heard as he smacked into the ground.

Taipei who was bruised and bloody slowly began to get up with blood dripping

down his face. "I almost died again. Well it's not going to happen warlock. I have

one more ace in the hole! Behond! The power of a Dragon!" said Taipei. Demon

King Taipei held up what looked like a Celestial Egg but Ungar knew what it was.

It was the heart of the Celestial Dragon the strongest of the Dragon King. Taipei

began to chew on the heart and than he began to start glowing and after this he

began to scream as light came from his eyes and every other part of his body

eventually the light was overwhelming and blinding ensuring Ungar and the others

could not see Taipei's full transformation. After this Taipei was revealed to be a

huge dragon an eastern dragon similar to the Dragons from Chinese folk religion

and Chinese mythology. Taipei breathed a massive breath of fire at the three

warriors who all jumped out of the way. Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 -012 couldn't

make any ground against Dragon King Taipei but Ungar was holding his own.

The 7 foot warlock now took on a massive Dragon the size of a mountain who lusted

for nothing less than to kill him, overthrow the Jade Emperor and rule over the

Kingdom of Heaven. Taipei began spewing balls of condensed celestial energy at

Ungar which the warlock skillfully blocked with his cape. Ungar than used a new

ability he learned from Master Musashi and promptly created multiple versions of

himself 10 in total. This made Lord Taipei smile. "Seriously Wizard. A simple

multiplying spell. This is mere child's play!" said Taipei. But Ungar ignored this as

Taipei summoned a massive demon army which Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 -012

could actually pull their own while they were fighting. There were thousands of

demons in Taipei's Demonic Horde but Ungar more than the other two cut through

all that were in his way like butter. Ungar than summoned the water with his new

Daoist powers causing a huge tital wave that crashed into the foot soldiers of

Taipei's army. Now Ungar had control of the Five Taoist elements known as

Wuxing which are Wood木mù, Fire火huǒ, Water水shuǐ, Earth土tǔ and Metal

金jīn. Ungar first used his Wood ability to create a forest whose trees impaled the

soldiers of Taipei's imperial demon horde, and than for those that survivors he used

his Fire Magic to burn the forest down followed by his Water Magic to flood the

area and than his Earth Magic to launch large boulders at the demons and finally

using Iron Ore he gathered from the earth to use as projectiles which impaled the demons through. Following this he summoned his own army of mindless demon

drones to fight Taipei's forces while Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 -012 also stood

their ground against Taipei's forces after his Ungar leaped into the air and landed

on the tail end of the dragon. Began to run and almost glide up the side of the

massive beast. Taipei was angry and full of immense fury. "Damn you! You

accursed warlock! Every time I try my had in conquering Heaven you're always

there to stop me! Your like a cockroach every time I squash you, you just come back

for more! While that ends now!" said Taipei.

Taipei began breathing balls of dark

energy that were essentially condensed black holes. To his horror Ungar actually

ran through them. He knew that Ungar would not be killed but he assumed at the

very least he would be sucked into another dimension for the rest of his life but

instead Ungar began to knock the blast back at Taipei in his new dragon form.

Which actually began to rip off chunks of flesh from the dragon and as a result

Taipei began howling in pain. Finally Ungar was nearly at the head of the massive

beast. "This is impossible. How did he get so powerful?!" thought Taipei as he

trembled in fear. Ungar leaped into the air just over Taipei's head Taipei launched a

fireball but Ungar was ready, throwing his hands up and launching a perfect version

of his ultimate attack; Event Horizon!" As the warlock said this a giant black hole

appeared from his palm and pushed the black flame of the dragon back. Eventually

the flame was destroyed and the Massive Black Hole that Ungar created with his attack struck Taipei and as he began to scream Taipei was slowly torn apart by the

dark force.

Eventually the screaming stopped and Taipei's army disintegrated

following his death and Ungar ended the lives of his mindless demon horde as well

which evaporated into nothing. Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 -012 thought they

needed to help Ungar but Ungar did that all by himself without breaking a sweat

(even though his body was armor). Ungar floated to the ground in a fashion that

was almost calmer than that of a Zen Buddhist monk. Taiping and Acon 01 01 01

-012 after a short and stunned silence began to ask Ungar what happened and how

he had grown so powerful but Ungar simply said he would tell them everything as

soon as he healed the others. After this Ungar, Taiping the Demon, Acon 01 01 01

-012 and Quilu the Orc who followed them from behind took off to check on

Daniel and the other fallen heroes. Meanwhile; the Monkey King and his comrades

had just reached the Jade Emperor's Palace and soon his battle with Confucius for

the Blade of Heaven would begin.
