The Approaching Storm (??? x Vergil M! reader)- Short preview

The sky was orange, black clouds floating in the sky and being moved by a gently gust of wind. The red sun was slowly starting to set behind a mountain valley and the air was starting to become chilly.

No one's POV

In a burned forest, a man in a brown cloak was walking past countless burned tall trees all around him. The ground was covered in charcoal and soot, giving the area a dreadful atmosphere. The cloak covered most of himself except for his tall, brown boots with two golden buckled straps at the top. In his left hand was a sheathed katana that had a blue cloth tied around its sheath.

The man was silent as he walks, too deep in his thoughts. The only sound that could be heard for a while was his boots pressing against the burned grass and dirt beneath him and an occasional gust of wind here and there.

After some time of walking, the man finds himself standing in front of a massive cave that seems to lead underground in the middle of the burned forest. He stops several feet away from the entrance of the cave and studies it for a moment, before sighing.

"This has to be its lair..." He mutters to himself, his voice a little scratchy and slightly high pitched.

He looks around the area curiously for a moment, studying the place around him. He noticed massive tracks leading in and out the cave, all old for some time. "..." The man was about to walk to the tracks, until he suddenly heard a low deep growl coming from within the cave. He turns his attention towards the entrance of the cave and saw a massive silhouette with a pair of three glowing yellow eyes walking out from the cave, creating small tremors with each step. He doesn't move an inch as the creature walks out of the cave, growling the whole time.

Upon stepping out, the creature appears to be at least twenty feet tall. It had massive red spikes on its head, legs, and tail. Its body was covered in thick black skin and some cracks that let out orange and yellow glow around its gills and stomach.

The creature snarls as it was a few feet in front of the cloaked man, drool dripping from its massive sharp teeth.

"..." The man continues to say nothing, staring at the beast in silence. However, after a moment, he slowly gets into a fighting stance. "So... you are the Behemoth that the Queen was referring to..." He mutters.

The creature lets out another growl upon seeing the man get into his position. It squints its eyes for a brief second before letting out a deafening roar into the air, creating a powerful gust of wind in the process, blowing everything within a short radius away.

Just as the wind was about to hit the man, he suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. A blue blur zooms underneath the creature until it was a few feet behind hit. When it stops, it reveals the man without his cloak on with his back to the creature, revealing his white hair and blue clothes, and his katana unsheathed and the hilt in his right hand. He was on one knee as he held his blade behind him as if he just swung his katana vertically. When the creature was done roaring, the man slowly stood back on his feet as he twirls his katana around before slowly sheathing it, making a small click when he did.

Upon hearing the click, the creature stood frozen for a moment, before its legs suddenly gushes out blood from several cuts deep within its skin. It roars in pain as it stumbles, but quickly regain its footing. When it did, it slowly turns around as it growls in rage, snarling upon seeing the man's back.

"I've been told you are the strongest creature in this forest..." The man mutters as he turns to face the creature. When he did, his face held a cold and emotionless look.

"...You alone have slain countless royal soldiers and demons, and have burned this entire forest..." He says before unsheathing his blade with his right hand and points the tip at the creature. "...But you are no match for a son of Sparda." He says as he sheathes most of his blade back and gets into a battle stance.

The creature growls louder as the man spoke. When he was done and got into his stance, the creature slams its upper right claw into the ground, creating a small crater around its claw. It roars again as a red barrier forms around and in the cave, blocking off any way for either from escaping.

The two glares at each other for a moment, both in a stalemate. After a moment, the Behemoth roars and charges forward. The man's eyes suddenly glow blue before he disappears and reappears in front of the Behemoth. Just as he unsheathes his blade and swings vertically, everything fades to black.

Soon...

Apologies for the long wait, everyone. I wasn't feeling motivated to write for a little while, and I kept rethinking of the concept teaser. I now have a good idea, but it'll be a bit long to make. This short preview is almost 800 words, so prepare for something around 5-8k like "Iron Will". I'm not sure when the full concept teaser will be released, but hopefully soon. Please tell me what you guys think so far, would love to hear your criticisms/ideas.

Thats all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful day/night. See ya.
