The surprising arrival and madness of the famous General Elves was enough to shock everyone, his brutal slaughter at the hands of the guards was even more shocking and if they thought this was the end of the story, something even more sensational began to happen.
To the people of the kingdom, their army was guided by a wise king, and the prince, although lacking martial prowess, more than made up for it with his mind, because it was his
inventions that turned the tides against the Calamity.
This unexpected invention was called Blood Gas, a strange name, but what it did to the bodies of Calamities was so strange and horrifying that the jokes associated with the weapon's name were swiftly silenced.
The blood gas resembled a sphere the size of an apple, it was yellow and red and stank like dead flesh, the first person who saw this weapon had said it resembled a diseased pustule filled with pus and dead blood, this description was not far off because it was warm to the touch and it felt gelatinous.
It was a weapon that was made to be used from a distance, as it should be thrown towards the enemy. The first demonstration of Blood Gas was against a large group of Calamities numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
A couple hundred of these orbs were chucked at the beasts and when they landed on the bodies of some of them, they splattered into pieces, dousing the beasts in foul-smelling liquid that seemed to have a life of their own and crawled into their bodies, and from there everything changed.
These infected beasts turned on their comrades and slaughtered them in a violent frenzy, disregarding any attempt for defense or preserving their lives, they kept killing until they fell apart.
The King had been raging on the laughing Shisu and it was inevitable that he would tear apart the royal robes, and to the people watching in horror at the ongoing event, the king suddenly reared back in horror, and took several steps backward, revealing to the world what could make the furious king afraid.
The body of Shisu was revealed that he had been hiding under his robes, and it was a thing of horror. His chest was packed with boils that pulsed as if they all contained a heart. The King immediately recognized these pulsing sores as the Blood Gas they had been using to cleanse their realm of Calamity, no time in a million years would the king have imagined that this loathsome weapon was grown on the body of his son.
"Where are you going, old man? Come on, keep on beating on me some more." glancing down at his exposed torso filled with pulsing boils, Shisu laughed, "Don't worry about these babies, at this level they are quite inert. What you should worry about is the thousands of Blood Gas I have been depositing into the water supply for the last eight months... daily."
The King pointed at his son with shaking fingers, "You said that it affects only Calamities." "Did I?" Shisu lampooned as he slowly stood up, "I guess I lied."
Most of the people viewing this spectacular event on the mountaintop were not aware of the full ramifications of what Shisu had just said, but the soldiers who had watched Calamities tear themselves apart in such a maddening frenzy almost went insane with fear.
The King looked down at the remnants of Elves his loyal general and the truth of what he had been screaming before he was butchered,
"You are truly evil incarnate, and you will kill us all. Why would you ever do such a thing? Does a thing like you even have a reason for committing such an act?"
Shisu had been trying to mend his torn robe so he could appear a bit regal, looked at the king and frowned,
"What do you mean by such frivolous statements, of course, there is a method to my madness. I am bringing the eyes of heaven to my door and showing it I am worthy. You pathetic maggots would never understand, the true face of reality."
