Nicolas walked briskly towards Lou-ra. He stood beside her and cast a high tier protective spell over her which also came in handy to heal her injuries."My lord, you should leave them to me" lou-ra said as she struggled to stand.Nicolas kept his eyes on Hero Hinnel and his allies. He immediately studied their power levels and saw the sword hero has increased in power during the short time he had been unconscious. Fighting him now might be difficult, considering he wasn't at full power."Demon King Abron, your reign of terro ends now" Hero Hinnel announced. "You will die by my sword, for that is the only befitting death of someone as unholy as you."Nicolas almost let out a laugh. He was a bit delighted to hear someone talk in a way that he had only heard in action movies and Anime. He decided to follow suit, and this time, he wanted to make things more dramatic."You make me laugh, Hero of the sword. Trust me when I say your sword wouldn't even touch a single hair on my UNHOLY body
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
As the battlefield became completely changed into chaos, Hero Hinnel, Nicolas, and the dragon, clashed in a gigantic struggle that would decide the fate of the kingdom. Each person fought with all the skill and power at their disposal, their every move driven by a fierce determination to emerge victorious.From where she hid, Lou-ra watched the fight, shocked that Nicolas' presence had summoned Skr'll, the dragon that his brother had kept hidden for thousands of years. It only proved he was the rightful ruler of Demon realm.Hero Hinnel, his golden sword flashing in the air, led the charge against Nicolas and the with unchanging resolve. He sent forth several air slashes towards him, but the dragon tossed it away as if it was nothing.Hero Hinnel clicked his tongue angrily as he tried to look for a blind spot to attack Nicolas. He would go after the dragon later; Nicolas was high priority.He sent more slashes at him but the dragon managed to wipe away several with just a gush of his
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
As Nicolas, Lou-ra, and the injured dragon, Skr'll, made their escape out of the battlefield which threatened to completely consume all of their strengths, they heaved a sigh of relief. Nicolas had been disappointed at not being able to convince Hero Hinnel of his innocence, but his mind was completely taken over by saving Skr'll. He focused more of his mana into healing her shattered scales and injured flesh.It took a considerate amount of magical energy to heal a dragon and Lou-ra could sense Nicolas' energy getting drained by the second. She put her hand on his shoulder in a bid to tell him to stop before he ended up using up all of his power."My lord, you need to stop" Lou-ra said.Nicolas ignored her as he concentrated on healing Skr'll. He had caused too much destruction for one day and all he wanted was to at least save a life. "I won't stop until she gets better" Nicolas replied.Lou-ra understood why he wanted to save Skr'll, but she was finding it difficult to wrap her h
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 surrounded by a group of fierce-looking jungle men, their weapons drawn and pointed directly at them, ready to attack with the slightest provocation.Lou-ra immediately stood in front of Nicolas and took a stance that suggested she was ready to battle with anyone that threatened to get any closer to her master."Lou-ra, stand back" Nicolas said.Lou-ra shook her head vehemently. It was her sworn duty to protect her master no matter what happens. Giving her life for such purpose was a honor."My lord, I will protect you" Lou-ra's eyes scanned the entire vicinity within seconds. It didn't take much time for her to discover a loophole which would be effective in their escape. "I'll hold them off for the time being. Immediately I give a signal, run towards the two separate bushes."The tension in the air was palpable as the warriors shouted at them in a language they did not understand, their faces twisted with anger and suspicion as to what strangers w
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.
