As Nicolas knelt on the blood-soaked ground, his vision becoming blurry due to pain and exhaustion, he felt a wave of despair come over him. The wound in his chest ached with each beat of his heart, his life's blood spilling out onto the ground without end, threatening to cut his lifeline short.Even as he struggled to stay conscious, a voice whispered in the depths of his mind, a voice that filled him with renewed determination and resolve."Stand up you weakling."It was the voice of Abron, who had watched everything happen despite being trapped within the confines of his own mind."I'm trying to, it isn't as easy as you make it out to be" Nicolas said.Abron shook his head in disappointment. "I knew you weren't fit to use my body!!" Abron thundered angrily. "Return it to me right this moment."Nicolas had just enough knowledge to know it wasn't smart to allow Abron taje control of his bidy. It might lead to the world being broken into two."I am fit for this body. I just need to c

Nicolas stood frozen in shock as he watched Skr'll, the majestic dragon fall to the ground, its massive form crumpling in a heap of shattered scales and torn flesh. It's injury was worse than it seemed.Despite the chaos of battle raging around him, Nicolas attention was mainly focused on the fallen creature, his heart heavy with sorrow at the sight of its agony."What have they done to you" Nicolas said as tears gathered in his eyes.With trembling hands, he approached Skr'll to check on if he could do anything to heal it before it ended up dying due to its wounds.His eyes were already filled with tears as he knelt beside it. He could feel the faint pulse of its heartbeat beneath his fingertips, an evidence of its shocking strength and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds."Hang in there buddy, I'll save you" He said.Even as he grieved for the fallen creature, a sense of determination erupted within him. It was a determination to save it from the hands of death, no matter th

The journey back to the kingdom was a quiet one for Hero Hinnel and his allies. The memory of their defeat at the hands of Nicolas and Lou-ra weighed heavily on their minds, making it extremely hard for them to even think of anything apart from that.They had managed to save Yuki from certain death, but it seems his life threatening experience didn't do enough to stop him from still being his arrogant self."We're here" Hero Hinnel announced."Home" Leon added."Open the doors already!!" Yuki screamed at the men in charge of the gates.He wanted so desperately to go back to the bosom of his mistress and sink himself into her until the entire world didn't seem to matter anymore."Here goes nothing" Hero Hinnel muttered to himself.As the gates opened and they entered the city, they were greeted by the hustle and bustle of everyday life; the sound of merchants hawking their wares, children playing in the streets, and the lingering sounds of activity from the castle grounds. On seeing t

Nicolas and Lou-ra found themselves seated in the beautiful dinning room of the jungle king, surrounded by an air of royal splendor. The golden adored walls and cutlery were utterly shocking at how well-versed the jungle men were.The king sat before them on a throne of carved wood and woven vines, his expression solemn yet welcoming as he regarded them with a mixture of reverence and admiration. Never in his life did he imagine he would entertain the Demon Lord."You honor us with your presence, Demon Lord," the king began, his voice showing his admiration to be seated opposite Nicolas."We have long awaited your return. It has been roughly five hundred years since we set our eyes on you and we are happy that you saw us as worthy subjects enough to get a visit from you."Nicolas exchanged a confused glance with Lou-ra, unsure of how to respond to the king's words. He had never met this man before, and yet he spoke of Nicolas as though they were old friends."I'm happy you welcomed us.

Gonro's powerful wave of weakening magic swept through the jungle, affecting all within its wide range including Nicolas, Lou-ra, and the jungle king."What was that?" Lou-ra asked as she looked around the room, wondering where such familiar magic had come from.Nicolas shook his head, unable to identify the true direction of the darkness he felt a few seconds ago.They all felt its effects ripple through the air like a dark omen. Unlike the residents of the jungle, Nicolas and Lou-ra remained unaffected, their strength unshaken by the dark forces at work.The jungle king and his men collapse to the ground, weak from whatever attack flew towards them.Nicolas rushed to help him up. He could feel the jungle king wasn't as strong as he had been earlier. Something ominous was at play."There might be a problem. This is unsual" He said.Lou-ra's eyes started to one of the servants who was also affected. She watched as the small girl's skin begin to go pale and peel off."This is more than
