Sons of a devil-Chapter 65: Awakening of fire and storm
Chapter 65 - Awakening of fire and storm
The winds howled like wolves through the valley, thick with the scent of blood and smoke. Cain stood at the head of their group, the celestial blade strapped to his back, his eyes scanning the hills ahead.
The war had begun.
Leo walked just behind him, his coat flapping in the wind, every breath releasing a silver mist of power. Eren cracked his knuckles, the ground beneath his feet already starting to vibrate with the promise of destruction.
Selene stood beside Cain, quiet, steady—until now, the calm in the storm.
But today, everything would change.
They were halfway across the bridge that connected the Sacred Ruins to the mountain's edge when the sky cracked open.
A figure descended from the clouds—one of the devil's first generals, cloaked in shadow and smoke, eyes like bleeding moons.
"Well, well," he hissed, his voice coiling around them like a serpent. "The bastard sons brought a little girl with them to war."
Cain didn't flinch. "She's worth more than your entire bloodline."
Selene's eyes widened slightly, cheeks warming. But she stood her ground.
The general raised a hand. Dozens of shadow beasts slithered out from the rocks, creatures made of smoke, bone, and fire. They hissed and charged as one.
Leo's bow snapped into his hands, glowing silver. "Let's dance."
Eren smirked. "Finally."
And then... chaos.
Eren let out a roar, slamming both fists into the bridge. A tidal wave of molten earth surged forward, swallowing beasts in fire. Leo leapt into the air, arrows raining down like comets, each one finding a heart, an eye, a throat.
Cain was a blur—cutting through beasts with the celestial blade, his rage honed into perfect precision. Blood sprayed. Shadows cried.
But it wasn't enough.
The general laughed, his power darkening the sky. With one massive wave of his hand, he flung all three brothers back.
Cain hit the ground hard. His vision swam.
And then... Selene stepped forward.
"Stay down, girl," the general sneered. "Or I'll rip your heart out first."
Selene's hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Her eyes glowed gold—not like fire, but like the sun itself had awakened inside her.
"I'm not afraid of you," she whispered.
The general lunged.
And Selene exploded.
A column of light shot into the sky, blinding and pure. The bridge trembled. The shadow beasts shrieked and evaporated into smoke. The general screamed as golden flames wrapped around him, purifying his form.
Cain, Leo, and Eren looked up in awe.
She floated off the ground, golden symbols swirling around her body. Her voice echoed—ancient, layered, almost divine.
"I was never just a girl. I was chosen."
The general howled, his body breaking apart under the light. "You... you're one of them! A Guardian of Light—!"
He vanished in a final scream, consumed by radiance.
When the light dimmed, Selene collapsed to the ground.
Cain caught her before she fell.
"Selene..." he breathed, holding her close.
She opened her eyes, weakly smiling. "Guess I forgot to mention... I'm not exactly normal either."

Cain laughed, choked with emotion. "You think?"
They set up camp in the shadow of the mountain, the stars slowly returning overhead. Selene rested in Cain's arms, wrapped in his jacket. Leo and Eren paced nearby, shaken but alive.
"So..." Eren said, staring at her. "You've been holding out on us."
Selene chuckled softly. "Honestly? I didn't know. Not until today."
Leo crossed his arms. "Well, next time you decide to go Supernova, give us a warning. My eyebrows are gone."
Cain brushed her hair gently. "Whatever you are, whoever you are... I'm glad you're with me."
Selene leaned into him, whispering, "Always."
Far in the distance, lightning tore the sky apart. The devil had felt it. He now knew they were stronger than he'd thought.
And he would not wait.
But neither would the sons of the devil.
They had each other.
And they had Selene.
