Description:

The howls of demons echoed in the distance, and I pulled myself through the doors only to slam them shut. I fumbled with the bar for the door, my hands slick with so much blood that I nearly dropped it. A part of me had known this would be the end. Bastion was the last human settlement that I knew of in the world. Tonight, it would fall. The fortress protecting it had already been breached and an unmatched demon had shattered our best warriors. With the fortress broken, people scattered, trying to flee. There was no point, we were surrounded. Even if I fought on, I was just one man. It was too late. Instead, I turned to my room and the backup plan I had hatched on a desperate night. Candles lit the room as several unique SSS ranked artifacts floated around the complex inscription formation. One of them I had even specially modified for this. I took in a deep breath and aligned my mana with the formation, flowing into it, even as the drums of war pounded in the distance. The enemy would be upon me soon, and the fight, everything I stood for, would be all gone. Humanity would be gone with me. There might be a few other survivors, but there were fewer than a dozen humans left on Earth. We had been so unprepared for what had come for us. It had been over five hundred years of war since the Rapture. There had been bright spots, times of victory and times of peace, but the demons never stopped. Not fully. In so many ways, they had already won before the war even started. Our world had been infected from the beginning. Duration - 13h 9m. Author - Robert Hardy. Narrator - Robert Hardy.
