Reincarnated As The Antihero

Tales Of The Past

As Demon King Abron entered into a nearby city, he looked at each person with distaste. He had such an unreasonable taste for humans and it caused him to resent them.

While walking through the busy streets of the city, a stern expression on his face, his mind kept on being filled with memories of his time long past. He could still hear the loud cries and screams from injured soldiers of his last battle ringing in his ears. There was no way he couldn't forget the horrible feeling of betrayal which still like a knife in his heart.

Beside him, Lou-ra walked in silence. She was trying to understand Demon King Abron's behavior during their fight with Hero Hinnel. It was like he was a completely different person then all of a sudden, he had returned to his former self.

She had been by his side since the beginning, a loyal servant and his only ally in his quest to reclaim his rightful throne.

But as they continued their journey, people stared at them with suspicious eyes. Although Abron had created a black cloak to cover his face, his presence still brought about a dark and eerie feeling. They were repulsed by the bitter aura coming from him. Surprisingly, none if them had mana but they could feel his hate.

"I can still remember, like it was yesterday, when my only brother betrayed me," he said, his voice low and filled with anger, hate and regret. "He stole my throne and plunged a dragon stone sword through my heart cast me out into darkness" Abron said.

Lou-ra nodded her head in understanding, her ears catching the pain and sorrow her lord felt.

"I remember," she said softly. "I remember how we fought to reclaim your throne which was rightfully yours, how we gathered our forces and marched upon the palace with fire in our hearts, but ended up being defeated immediately."

"What did he do after I was gone?" Abron asked, eager to know what had befell his great land during his absence.

Lou-ra's expression changed immediately. As she started remembering the past horrors, she began to shake her head slowly and closed her eyes.

"He immediately changed the generals and advisers. He demoted me from my rank then put his friend there instead. He began looting finances from the crown and increased the tax of your citizens. In not less than two years, the Demon sect had began worse than hell" Lou-ra explained.

"What about my mother, his stepmother? What did he do to her?" Abron asked. His voice had slowly shifted into something rather cool at the mention of his mother. Unknowingly to Lou-ra, he was trying to stifle the huge amount of anger what threatened to burst out of him.

"I don't really know for sure because we stopped hearing from her months after he took your throne. I got news later that she tried to oppose him but he sent her to spend the rest of her life in the dungeons. It's been roughly five hundred years since he did that and I fear the Queen mother might be no more" Lou-ra replied.

Abron's hands turned into clenched fists, his anger boiling over like an incredibly hot furnace. His anger had reached its peak.

"And yet, despite your best efforts, he was too strong," he said, his voice showing obvious hate. "He had always wanted to be ruler because he was jealous of my success. So he decided to get rid of me, gain power and crush all who dared to oppose him."

Lou-ra attempted to place a hand on Abron's arm, but she had a second thought. The way he might react to her wouldn't be what she expected.

"But now, after five hundred years of exile, the time has come for you to reclaim what is rightfully yours," she said, her voice filled with determination and admiration. "The time has come for you to take back your throne and restore honor to your name."

Abron's eyes were filled with determination, his resolve to reclaim his throne increased by the words of his most faithful companion. The only one who had waited by his side throughout five hundred years.

"Yes," he said, his voice not failing to show his true feelings. "Yes, I will reclaim what is rightfully mine, no matter the cost. I don't care who and what I had to sacrifice to achieve my goal."

Abron had such a murderous glint in his eyes, Lou-ra had to stop in her tracks. The demon lord she had known before had changed to become more sinister.

As she stared at him, she could feel a tremendous amount of dark mans coming from one particular soot. She turned around, trying to pinpoint where she had felt such power.

It didn't take her too long to realize Abron was behind the mana she felt. She attempted to inquire why he was gathering mana, but the terrifying look in his eyes caused her body to freeze.

With that, he raised his hand, summoning forth the dark energies that lay stored within him. He was going to test out the efficiency of his new powers on the small town.

The ground began to tremble beneath his feet as he started to unleashed his fury upon the unsuspecting town, his deadly wrath destroying everything in its path.

Lou-ra could only watch as the once beautiful town gradually became none other than a terrible wasteland. Although it hurt her for the town to be destroyed, she had no power to stop him.

Buildings shook and feel until they to dust, screams from innocent townfolk filled the air, and chaos became the order of the day as Demon King Abron decided to unleashe his vengeance upon the world, starting with the small town.

And fire consumed the city and it burned around him, he knew that nothing would stand in his way until his throne was once again in his hands.
