As Nicolas held onto Gonro, the general remained trapped in a trance-like state, his eyes staring blankly ahead as if he were lost in another world. Nicolas could feel Abron had made contact with Gonro and they got into an altercation, which would explain why Gonro had frozen.As he kept his grip on the general, blood gushed out of his injuries and he groaned in pain. He wished his mana would replenish as fast as possible.Although he had not lived his entire life In the realm where magic was the most essential thing that defined a person's life, he still didn't like this feeling of powerlessness. He had grown accustomed to his new powers that it felt like not having it meant he had lost a vital part of himself."My lord!! I'm coming" Lou-ra said, her voice filled with concern for the wellbeing of her master.Lou-ra hurried to Nicolas's side, her hands glowing with healing magic as she tended to his wounds with gentle care. Nicolas attempted to stop her so she wouldn't waste her ma
Nicolas and Lou-ra exchanged a bewildered glance as they watched Skr'll engaged in fierce combat with the jungle people sorcerers. They had expected to find her still weak and recovering in the sickbay especially after the intense injury she sustained from her last battle.Nicolas could only do what he could to help Skr'll in her fight against their newfound allies. He marveled at how powerful she was, even as a human. He couldn't stop himself from continuously staring at her, while slaughtering his enemies in one blow.Before Nicolas could comprehend what was really happening and why the jungle people were attacking them, another powerful blast from the gem was fired at Skr'll.Skr'll immediately summoned a shield from her scales, but they proved ineffective against the powerful blast. In the blink of an eye, she was sent flying off her feet.Rushing forward, Nicolas attempted to check on if she had sustained any more injuries, his heart heavy with confusion and concern. Lou-ra put
As the fierce battle continued despite exhaustion being felt by both parties, Nicolas, Lou-ra, and Skr'll found themselves surrounded on all sides by the relentless onslaught of the jungle people's forces. Soliders charged forward with swords raised high, while sorcerers hurled bolts of dark energy from a distance, their attacks raining down upon them like a hailstorm of destruction.Lou-ra quickly used her forcefield to stop their attacks from hitting Nicolas and Skr'll. She could feel within herself that he mana was gradually depleting and it caused her to lose focus.Lou-ra forcefield went down as soon as the sorcerers summoned powers from their gem stone and used its scorching beam of light to break through.Nicolas managed to throw it off, but it took longer than it usually would, signifying that he was getting tired by each moment they spent fighting."Just give up" The jungle king began, "There's no way you can defeat my army and sorcerers, even if you're the true Demon King.
In the grand throne room of the palace, the air hung heavy with tension as Xeon, Demon Lord Abron's half-brother and the false Demon King, presided over a trial with his customary iron will. His throne loomed large and imposing at the head of the chamber, casting a long shadow over all who dared to stand before him.He stared at the man with contempt written all over his face. He had ruled for fine hundred years since he betrayed his half-brother, and judging such cases as petty theft in the king had lost its former taste that seemed to exhilarate him."Please explain what happened" Xeno instructed the four armed demon who had accused him.The four armed demon, obviously angry from what had happened, pointed at the accused demon with one of his arms."This thief broke into my store in the night and grabbed most of my valuables, including goods that I wanted to sell to a traveling merchant scheduled to pass through today" He explained.Xeno rested his head on his hand as he listened.
The dense atmosphere of the jungle echoed with the clash of steel and the crackle of magic as Nicolas, Lou-ra, and Skr'll fought for their lives against the relentless onslaught of the jungle people's forces. "My lord, they're relentless. We can hold on much longer" Lou-ra said as she struggled to keep the jungle sorcerers at bay.Their persistent attack with the harmful rays of the gemstone made things difficult for Nicolas and his entourage to move closer.The air was thick with the scent of blood and sweat, the ground beneath their feet wet with mud among other things that caused them their footing to be irregular.Soliders charged forward with swords raised high, their faces contorted with rage as they sought to overwhelm Nicolas, Lou-ra and Skr'll with sheer force of numbers. Sorcerers hung back from a distance, their hands crackling with dark energy as they unleashed a barrage of spells upon their enemies.Nicolas slashed through the air with his sword, his movements swift and
As Nicolas felt the surge of dark power coursing through his veins, he was consumed by a fierce rage unlike anything he had ever known. He didn't understand where this newfound strength came from, but he embraced it wholeheartedly, allowing it to fuel his every movement as he unleashed its devastating force upon the jungle around him."Stop him!!!" The Jungle king commanded his forces.Judging from the aura emitting from Nicolas, the jungle king concluded his strength had gone to heights that were practically impossible to reach.Nicolas snickered at the jungle king's attempt to stop him from unleashing chaos on his enemies."You amuse me" He said.With a primal roar, he raised his hands high, commanding the dark energy to bend to his will. "Heed my call, Great Spirit, and obey my command" Nicolas thundered.In response, the very fabric of the jungle seemed to tremble, its twisted roots and vines writhing in agony as they were torn asunder by the sheer force of his power.The jungle
Nicolas stood amidst the chaos of the jungle, his grip tight around the jungle king's neck as the terrified ruler struggled in his grasp. "This isn't like you, my lord. You need to end this before you regret your decision" The jungle king said, his voice showing his desperation to be released."And who said this isn't me? Who told you this darkness hasn't always been in me all this while?" Nicolas asked.The jungle king didn't know how to answer. He stared at Nicolas, short of words.Around them, the jungle people's forces descended upon Nicolas with renewed ferocity fueled off the desire to save their ruler from being killed.Their weapons were raised high as they sought to overwhelm the Demon King who stood before them with his overwhelming power and shocking tenacity."Release our king or face the full wrath of our anger" the soliders all said in unison.However, despite their devasting numbers, Nicolas was unfazed by their attacks, his mind consumed by a cold fury that burned lik
The jungle people stared at the lifeless body of their king who paid on the ground like a log of wood. They attempted to drag him away from his killer so they could mourn him the way he is supposed to, but Nicolas didn't let any one of them come close.Nicolas could feel that there was something dangerous hiding in the shelter of the jungle which he had unknowingly released when he smashed the king's head in the gemstone."You've doomed us all" one of the elders screamed. "You have unleashed the monster, Gorom. He will kill us all then move on to engulf the entire world with its chaos."Nicolas snickered at his words. He knew the elder wasn't mistaken about the power and ferociousness of Gorom, but he also had full knowledge that it wouldn't be able to withstand his own tremendous power."Well!!?? Gorom!!! Come out and fight!!" Nicolas shouted at the top of his lungs.It was as if the monster understood because in that moment, it roared loudly, causing the jungle people to scream and
