After the excitement dies down, the demon king approaches me. "Come along," he says. "It's time for the main event."
The main concourse of the arena is a large open space surrounded by three rings. In the center ring, the demon king waits with his entourage for the arrival of the final contestant.
On either side of the central ring are smaller rings, each containing five fighters. The ring on the left contains four humans (the contestants) and one giant man-eating monster who looks to be a mixture of human and ogre.
The demon king points to the ring on the right. "Now we have a real challenge," he says. "Two vampires fighting a giant man-eating ogre. Will our champion win this time? Or will the monster feast upon the vampire's blood?"
The ring on the right contains six vampires (participants) and one witch whose skin is green. As I watch, the contestants begin to circle each other, sizing each other up.
He points to the ring on the left, and the contestants rush to it. They form a circle around each other and stare each other down.
"I'll bet you don't expect to see a vampire fight an ogre in the first round, do you?" asks the demon king. "Well, this is just the beginning of a wild ride. Let's go to the ring."
The contestants line up in the ring as the crowd watches, anxious to see how the fight will turn out. The ogre, who appears to be in much better shape than his opponent, stares at the vampire with cold disdain. The vampire, meanwhile, sniffs suspiciously and sneers menacingly.
The ogre is larger than his opponent by more than twice his size. The giant man-eating ogre stands facing the vampire, who looks incredibly nervous. The ogre has obviously been through many battles before; his face is scarred and battered, and there are several deep gouges in his torso.
His skin is a pale greenish-brown, and his teeth are stained with red. His hair hangs down to his shoulders, covering the lower portion of his face completely.
The ogre's body is covered in thick brown fur, giving him the appearance of a hairy gorilla. His face is covered with a heavy beard, which droops down to his waist, obscuring most of his features. He wears a loincloth made of animal hide, and carries a club over his shoulder.
He seems to be carrying some kind of shield as well, but it's too far away to see clearly. The ogre's eyes are closed, and he's breathing heavily as he prepares himself for the upcoming fight. The vampire's skin is white, and his long black hair frames his narrow face perfectly. There are several thin scars on his chin, and his yellow eyes stand out sharply against his blue skin.
The vampire, however, is taller and stronger than the ogre as well, giving him an advantage in terms of reach. He spreads his arms wide and addresses the ogre coldly.
"You're not nearly as imposing and strong as you think you are," says the vampire. "All you've got is brute force."
The ogre laughed at this, waving his club menacingly. "Brute force? Ha! You don't know how to use brute force! All you do is run around punching people and screaming like a baby. But you won't be doing that anymore!"
Without saying a word or making any movements, the ogre charges forward, bringing his club down hard upon the vampire's head. The vampire's body jerks backwards, and his legs kick wildly. The ogre keeps swinging his club, slamming it into the vampire's head over and over again. Each strike causes the vampire to convulse, and he begins sinking slowly into the ground.
With a roar of rage, the ogre rushes forward, swinging his club like a battering ram. The vampire dodges under the club, leaps behind him, and slashes his throat with his own dagger.
A few minutes later, the vampire manages to pin the ogre to the ground and stabs him repeatedly in the side. The ogre is writhing in agony, but he refuses to die.
He struggles to pull the vampire's dagger from his leg, but the vampire keeps stabbing him, draining his lifeblood. Finally, the ogre succumbs to the vampire's brutal attack, and the vampire throws his head at the ogre, allowing the crowd to cheer in triumph.
The vampire attacks the ogre, biting him on the arm. The ogre retaliates by smashing the vampire across the face with his club. The witch casts her hexes against the vampire, causing him to shriek in pain. The ogre suddenly grabs the vampire and slashes his throat, then stabs the witch in the chest with his dagger. The crowd gasps in shock at this sudden turn of events.
The ogre spins around and tries to stomp the vampire to death, but the vampire quickly rolls away to safety. He grabs hold of the ogre's ankle again, and the two roll around the ring together, trading blows and counterattacks.
He raises his staff and launches a fireball at the ogre, but the ogre ducks beneath the attack and grabs the vampire's ankle, dragging him down to the ground. The ogre rams his club into the vampire's gut, then twists his hand so that the vampire's neck is exposed.
With a quick snap, he snaps the vampire's neck and pins him to the ground. The crowd erupts in cheers, while the vampire's body twitches violently.
The vampire, the last remaining contestant, runs away from the arena as quickly as possible. As he leaves, the demon king beckons to me.
"What a magnificent fight," says the demon king. "I've never seen a man-eating ogre beaten so badly before."
"You see, you silly monsters?" says the demon king with glee. "An ogre can kill a vampire just as easily as a human. the battle ends with a single blow."
The demon king claps his hands together in delight. "How wonderful! We have a new champion! Congratulations, Orge!"
"Come," he says. "The winner of this match will go on to fight me next. I'm eager to see what happens when our champions meet face to face."
Grognard's opponent is a giant ogre.
I approach the ogre, and the demon king motions for me to take his place in the middle of the ring.
"This should be interesting," he says. "I've never seen an ogre fight before."
Without warning, the ogre rushes at me, swinging his club wildly. As soon as his fist connects with my chest, I feel something give way inside me, and all strength drains from my limbs. My knees buckle, and I fall to the ground.
As I lie there helpless, the ogre continues his assault, pounding me with his club. I try desperately to protect myself, but he keeps hitting me, breaking ribs and tearing muscles in my body.
I gasp for breath, trying to crawl away from the ogre, but I'm unable to get any further. Blood pools around me, slowly soaking into the ground. I promised not to use magic in battle, but now it seems I have to use it.
As the ogre continues beating me senseless, Grognard steps forward and delivers a series of powerful punches to the monster's stomach. The ogre doubles over in pain, clutching his abdomen, and gasping for air.
Grognard punches him repeatedly, brutally crushing the ogre's organs. The ogre slumps over, dying instantly, and Grognard crushes his skull with his bare hands.
"Wow," exclaimed the demon king, impressed. "I didn't know an ogre could be killed so easily."
The crowd erupts in cheers and applause as the ogre collapses to the ground.
"What a fantastic fight!" shouts the demon king. "Thank you, Grognard, for being such a gracious sport and participating in my tournament. Now, let's see what we have in store for us next!"
The crowd applauds, and the demon king waves for Grognard to come forward.
The crowd erupts in cheers and applause.
"And now," says the demon king, "let's see what awaits us in the grand finale."
"Come along," he says. "The grand finale of my tournament is about to begin."
The audience roars with delight as the demon king steps forward.
"Welcome," he says, "to the greatest show on Earth!"
"Whoa!" exclaimed Grognard, staring up at the demon king's enormous mass. "Is he really that big?""Yes," replied the demon king, "he is.""I wonder if I can beat him?" ponders Grognard.The demon king laughed heartily. "No, you can't beat him. Not without magic, anyway."Grognard's mouth hangs agape in shock. "But... I thought you said he couldn't be defeated without magic.""That was a joke," explained the demon king. "I've never seen anything like him, either. This guy's huge!""Why did you decide to host a tournament in the first place?" wondered Grognard. "It sounds like a lot of work.""Oh, no," replied the demon king. "I enjoy tournaments immensely. It gives me a chance to test my strength against other powerful creatures from distant lands."The demon king points at Grognard. "For example, do you think you could defeat me?""Huh?" replied Grognard, surprised. "Um...""Don't worry," said the demon king. "I'm not intending to attack you. Just relax and have fun."The demon king t
Demon King throws a punch at me and misses.I roll with the punch and kick him in the groin.Demon King falls on the floor and stays there.The crowd burst into cheers as the Demon King laughed hysterically."Holy shit," said the Demon King.The ground breaks and I fall into a hole.The crowd erupts in cheers as I rise to my feet and look up at the demon king."What was that?" I asked. "I didn't feel anything.""Ha ha," laughed the demon king. "You can't hurt me!"I walk closer to him and grab hold of his legs, but he rolls out of the way and kicks me in the stomach.As I leap out of the hole, I force punch the demon king.Demon King punches me in the face and sends me flying backwards.I land hard on the ground and lose consciousness.The crowd erupts in cheers as the demon king stands over me."You're done, Dear Guest," said the demon king.'I can use magic,' I say. "Do you know how to cast spells?""Of course I do," said the demon king. "All I have to do is wave my hand and I can c
To my surprise he hugged me.I looked up and saw that he had tears in his eyes."I'm sorry, boy," said the demon king. "I never expected to see someone who I believed had died.""What are you talking about?" I asked. "Why are you crying?"The demon king released me and stepped back.He wiped away his tears and told me, "Come with me to the royal chamber.""Thank you," I said. "For everything."The demon king nods and leads me through the corridors. We finally arrive at the door leading to the royal chambers."What happened?" I asked.The demon king opens the door and allows me to enter.I walk inside, and I see that everyone is seated in a circle around the room.They all looked up at me when the demon king entered through the door behind us.Demon King said, "your friend is with us. You can meet her after we chat for a while."."It's been a long time since we've seen you," said one of them. "We thought you were dead.""Where is Kia?" I asked. "Is she alright?"The king points to the
The meeting ended and I talked with the ministers for sometime and walked out of the room.I met Kia outside the room."How did it turn out?" she asked me."Well, I found out that I was the son of the demon king.""Are you okay with that?" she asked.I nod my head and reply, "Yeah I don't care much about it anyway.""My mother was the angel king's sister. Both my parents are from two different realms.""How does it feel knowing that you are the child of a demon and an angel?" she asked."I don't know. It feels weird but it doesn't matter to me." I said."You still haven't told me about yourself. You only tell you are the priest in the temple of Origen and everything will be revealed over time. You are such a mystery.""The first time I met you you were running away from a wild beast alone without any guard."After arriving near the demon realm, a beast came rushing towards me. I slashed it and a girl came and thanked me. The girl was alone and trembling. And it was Kia. She asked me if
"There was once a large realm where angels, demons and humans lived, until there was war for the position of ruler. The war caused chaos and many lives were lost." "During the war a powerful being descended from nowhere and stopped the war. He split the realm into three realms: one for demons i;e Hell, another for angels i;e heaven and another for humans, i;e Reino." "The angel realm was given to angels with power while the demon realm was kept safe by demons that were strong enough to keep it from falling into chaos." "It's been several millenniums since the Great One, the ruler of the three lands, stopped the war." "The three realms have established a friendly relation with each other." "People from all three realms are welcome in any of them but if they choose to stay in their respective realms then that is up to them." "As Reino was in between heaven and hell, it became the place for interaction for all three realms. By the co-operation of the ruler of heaven: Michael, the ru
Demon Princess POVI boarded the carriage “Let’s go now, Father will be waiting for me.”The carriage starts to move.The carriage began to move a few inches and I felt chills run down my spine. The dark magical energy has suddenly increased.I looked out the carriage and noticed a strange phenomenon. The sky is a mixture of dark and white clouds with strong thunder. Then suddenly it starts to pour. The white cloud is raining water and the black cloud is pouring blood like liquid.I felt curious “Sir, can you look at what’s happening here?”The Knight stepped down the carriage to take a look at what was happening.As soon as he stepped down and looked towards the academy his expression changed. He feared something that is towards the school. He is my father's personal knight, so he can be considered the strongest man after him. I asked him “Knight what’s wrong? What happened to you?”He is frozen like ice. He is not listening to me. I stepped down to look what’s happening, why does he
My head started to hurt again like it was splitting in half.The scene felt like a dream, but I could see two figures, one holding me in her arms, and the other smiling at me. However, I couldn't see their faces.I fell down the ground.Everything was blurring.All I could hear was the sound of thunder and rain.A bright light surrounded me and when the light faded I was in the middle of the field in front of the academy.The grass was wet, the smell of rain and grass permeated everywhere.I looked up and saw a rainbow stretched across the sky."What happened to me?"I couldn’t move my body and it was hurting like hell.Slowly I am losing consciousness again.I awoke after some time to see a familiar ceiling above my head.“Are you up?”I was hearing a familiar voice as I turned towards the source of the voice. She was the nurse who used to take care of me whenever I was hurt by other students.“Sorry for the trouble Miss Ahn, I don’t know what happened to me this time and how I am he
I stopped by a store to buy a weapon for me. While looking for a weapon a sword thrown at the corner attracts me."I wonder how much it costs for the sword at the corner. The sword with a white hilt which is a bit rusty.""That's an old, rusty blade; you're not expecting to find any quality steel here. Besides, there is no way this sword could cut anything, let alone even scratch something like a monster!" exclaimed the shopkeeper as he turned away from his counter with disgust."Hold on now, young man! Don't throw that thing out! It could still be useful in some odd ways!"The man approaches me excitedly, holding a small book and pointing to it. He opens the cover and shows the pages inside. There are mostly sketches of strange creatures drawn by someone who has seen them firsthand. But one sketch catches my eye immediately. A monster with large claws and fangs. The picture was drawn hastily, but I can see that whoever drew this knew exactly what the creature looked like."This is a
