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.

    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.

    As a small elite squad under the supervision of the false Demon King, led by General Gonro, entered deeper into the jungle belonging to the indigenous jungle people, their minds were prepared to face whatever their enemies had in store for them.They had been given enough training to be able to defeat ordinary men who lived in the jungle with little or no mana to boast of. It was a wonder why the new Demon lord hasn't tried to take over their lands.While watching his men get to work of clearing a path for them to pass through, Gonro's eyes burned with determination. He used his intelligence to properly instruct his soldiers to fan out and search for their targets, Abron and Skr'll."The traitor Skr'll must be found and brought to justice. Make sure you do whatever you can to capture her alive," Gonro commanded, his voice cold and authoritative. "And as for Abron...he will suffer for his betrayal."The soldiers nodded in understanding, their faces set in cold determination as they set

    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

He hated the tone Lou-ra was using with him."I didn't beg for this, I earned it" He replied.Lou-ra let out a small laugh."Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night, that's if you're not still warming the bed of your fake Demon King" Lou-ra snickered as she watched Gonro's blood boil.Nicolas eyed him suspiciously. He could tell from merely looking at him that his power level was on the high side. Due to the fact that his mana had not fully recovered, he didn't stand a chance against Gonro, but he was prepared to do all it takes to defe

  • Reincarnated As The Antihero   The Dark Ritual

    The loud sounds of swords clashing and screams of death caused Skr'll to slowly regained consciousness in the dim confines of the jungle people's sickbay.As she opened her eyes, she felt a sense of disorientation come over her. Her head throbbed with pain, and her body felt heavy and sluggish as she struggled to make sense of her surroundings.The last thing she remembered was fighting Hero Hinnel with Demon Lord Abron then getting pierced by an attack she had not seen coming.She wished she had been strong enough to sense such a attack from a mile off. She would need to get stronger if she hoped of being able to fight alongside Demon Lord Abron.With a groan, she pushed herself upright, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she tried to focus her thoughts. Her head was still scrambled into various pieces that it made her unable to think properly. She could feel her weakness and it more than irritated her than waking up in an unknown place."Where am I?" She asked herself.She turn

    "Had enough?" Gonro asked as he watched Nicolas fall on one knee.He waited to see if Nicolas would be strong enough to continue his futile attempt to stop him. Nicolas scoffed at his words. There was no way he was going to give up until he was sure he has finally defeated Gonro. If his soliders saw that Gonro has been defeated then they would definitely retreat. He might as well kill two birds with one stone.Nicolas gathered the blood spilled on the ground and used it to form a longer and firmer sword than the one he had used earlier.Due to the fact that his new sword was mostly made from the blood of the jungle people, it's colour was dark green. It's glow made it seem like a weapon belonging to a villain in one of his video games."You think just one wound is enough to stop me?" Nicolas slowly stood up on his feet. "Come on, give me your best shot."Lou-ra stared at Nicolas in awe. She has always been impressed with how resilient he was. That was one of the things she admired de

    Gonro's mind was filled with utter darkness as he struggled to make sense of the surreal scene unfolding before him. He stood within the depths of Nicolas's consciousness, his senses overwhelmed by the suffocating darkness that surrounded him. And there, standing before him, was the visage of Demon King Abron, the same Demon he had been fighting several seconds again.Gonro had heard about Demons that were able to use a type of magic where they carried their opponents into a space which they had complete power over, but It had only been in books."What is this place?" Gonro muttered to himself as he stared around."You do not bow before your king when you enter his presence?" Abron asked.Abron eyes Gonro cautiously. He had tried him right from when he was still a teenager. It wasn't a surprise he inflicted several injuries on Nicolas, it showed he remembered everything he had taught him.But still, it was an outrage that he had decided to join his enemies to soil his name and treat

  • The Final Confrontation

    The battlefield trembled beneath the weight of their struggle. Dark clouds swirled overhead, crackling with the residual power of magic that had been unleashed throughout the fight. The once lively atmosphere had turned into a place of death and destruction, where the air itself seemed to burn with tension. Every strike, every clash of steel, had pushed the limits of the combatants. And now, after what felt like an eternity of battling, there was no telling who would be left standing.Nicholas stood battered, his body sore from the relentless blows that had been dealt. He could feel the burn of his magic, flickering faintly within him, but it wasn’t enough. Not yet. He was holding something back, and the time had come for him to release it.Across from him, Abron loomed like a towering figure of destruction. His form was cloaked in the darkness that had consumed him, his black eyes glowing with an intensity that threatened to ignite the very air around them. His warhammer, vibrati

  • Wrath Unleashed

    The battlefield was a land of chaos. Huge holes left in the ground and numerous ice spikes littered the ground, mixing with marks of fire left by Skr’ll’s relentless flames. The air crackled with residual energy, and the oppressive heat from the fight mixed with the biting cold of Lou-ra’s frost magic. The three warriors—Nicholas, Lou-ra, and Skr’ll—stood in a tenuous formation, their breathing labored but their resolve unshaken. The other soldiers maintained their distance and all they could do was to watch and pray to the gods that Abron doesn't succeed in destroying the world as it is prophesied to be. In stark contrast to the tired faces of his enemies, Abron floated just above the ground, his dark aura shining ominously like an otherworldly flame. His black eyes glinted with malice as he surveyed his battered opponents, his warhammer resting casually at his side. “You’ve lasted longer than I expected,” Abron said with a smirk, his voice dripping with mockery. “But this is

  • Strength in Numbers

    The battlefield seemed to stretch into eternity, the once vibrant land now filled with craters and burnt grounds. Abron hovered midair, his dark aura pulsating with terrifying intensity, casting an ominous shadow over the terrain. His gaze flicked between Nicholas, Lou-ra, and Skr’ll, the three of them standing firm despite the oppressive force radiating from him. “You three are nothing but sparks trying to extinguish a wildfire,” Abron sneered, his voice laced with disdain. “Do you think you can match the power I now wield?” Nicholas stepped forward, gripping his blade tightly. The golden light of his sword flickered with each heartbeat, its radiance a stark contrast to Abron’s consuming darkness. “We don’t need to match your power, Abron,” Nicholas replied, his voice steady. “We just need to stop you.” Lou-ra raised her staff, her eyes glowing with divine energy. “We fight not just for the world, but for the hope that still exists within you, Abron. You’re not beyond saving

  • The Prophecy Fulfilled

    The battlefield was silent except for the rhythmic thrum of Abron’s dark magic pulsing through the air. His form was a terrifying glow of raw power, his body cloaked in blackened tendrils of energy that hissed and moved as if alive. The once vibrant light in Abron’s eyes had been replaced by an all-consuming void. He looked at everyone and everywhere as if they were nothing but insignificant things in his way and all he could do to take them off was to squash them off like bugs.Nicholas stood a few paces away, his hands clenched into fists. Behind him, Lou-ra and Skr’ll flanked his sides, their faces tense but determined. Varak stood at a distance, his warhammer grounded, a solemn expression on his face. “You know I cannot intervene,” Varak said, his voice deep and steady. “The laws of the universe forbid me from interfering in a battle of prophecy. This is your fight, Nicholas. You must finish it. I have faith in your power, I want you to remember that."Nicholas exhaled slowl

  • The Dawn of Catastrophe

    The battlefield trembled as a dark, malevolent energy surged from Abron. Nicholas staggered back, clutching his chest as a searing pain shot through him. He tried to fight through the pain that was threatening to tear them apart but it was proving impossible to stop what was beginning to feel like torture. He watched in horror as Abron’s body began to convulse, his once-mighty frame writhing uncontrollably. “Abron! What’s happening to us?” Nicholas shouted, his voice strained with panic. Abron’s eyes, now glowing a sinister shade of crimson, locked onto Nicholas. “I… I can feel it… the darkness… it’s ripping me apart!” Abron roared, his voice a tortured blend of agony and rage. Suddenly, a blinding flash erupted between them, forcing everyone to shield their eyes. When the light subsided, Nicholas gasped. Before him stood two figures: one was Abron, his body fully restored, his aura radiating pure destruction; the other was Nicholas, now in his own physical form, his body tr

  • Hero Hinnel Falls

    The battlefield was a storm of chaos, and at its epicenter stood Hero Hinnel and Varak, locked in a battle of wills and might. Sparks flew as Hero Hinnel’s golden sword clashed against Varak’s colossal warhammer. The sheer force of their strikes sent shockwaves rippling across the land, shaking the ground beneath them and forcing all other combatants to retreat from their destructive duel. Hero Hinnel’s golden armor gleamed in the flickering light of their attacks, his face set with grim determination. His voice rang out, firm and unyielding. “Varak, you can still walk away from this. You don’t have to die here" He said in a way that made it seem like he was offering Varak a chance for him to choose being shown mercy instead of being killed. Varak, towering and imposing, his eyes burning like molten lava, let out a deep chuckle. “You think I fear death, Hinnel? No, it’s you who should fear what’s coming. I’ve been holding back, but you’ve pushed me too far" Varak replied, his p

    The Final Reckoning The air crackled with energy, the battlefield glowing under the fiery light of destruction. Yuki and Leon stood side by side, their auras intertwining as they unleashed their combined might. They were going for the kill even more than before and they were prepared to use whatever kind of power left they could muster.They could feel their mana gradually depleting and it only meant they needed to put an end to the battle as soon as possible. Across from them, Nicholas and Abron readied themselves, their fused strength radiating like a dark star. The silence between them was heavy, a pause before the storm. "Are you ready for what's coming?" Abron asked, his deep voice breaking the silence.Nicholas knew what he meant and although he had avoided it all through the battle, he knew he had no other choice than to do what Abron said. "I'm ready" Nicholas replied, his grip on his sword tightening. Yuki smirked, his voice echoing across the wasteland. “Still hold

  • Hero VS a god

    The battlefield erupted in chaos, with Varak and Hero Hinnel standing at its epicenter, engaged in their own battle to overcome the other. Sparks flew from Hero Hinnel’s golden sword as it glowed with a divine radiance, while Varak’s colossal warhammer hummed with raw, primal energy. "I'm glad I chose this Warhammer instead of sticking to my sword. I'm very sure you would have snapped it into two by now" Varak said, a smirk appearing on his lips."I'll still defeat you either way" Hero Hinnel said through gritted teeth.He didn't know exactly who Abron's new ally was, but he could tell Varak had an immensely powerful aura that would have sent any normal person running and begging for their lives. The two warriors circled each other, their auras crackling like thunderclouds ready to burst. A hush fell over the battlefield as everyone paused to witness the impending clash. “You’re very strong, Hero Hinnel,” Varak said, his deep voice rumbling like distant thunder. He hefted his w

  • Battle Cries

    The battlefield stood still for a brief moment, the tension thick enough to cut through. Abron’s silver eyes glimmered as he stepped forward, his grip tightening on his obsidian blade. Beside him, Nicholas's dark energy swirled like an ominous storm, his gaze locked onto their opponents. Yuki stood confidently, his crimson cloak billowing in the wind. Beside him, Leon’s fiery aura illuminated his sharp features. The two radiated an air of power and control, their synchronized movements an unspoken testament to their deadly synergy. All the days and weeks they had spent training rigorously led to this moment. “You don’t stand a chance,” Yuki said, his voice dripping with arrogance. “You might’ve survived this long, but now? You’re in our world.” "Don't be deceived to think you would actually be able to defeat me" Abron said, his eyes moving between the foes that stood in front of him. Leon cracked his knuckles, flames dancing along his fingertips. “Let’s see if the so-called
