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
From within the silent confines of Nicolas' body, Abron watched through his host's eyes as Xeno got ready to start his attack.He didn't know if Nicolas would be able to defeat his brother in combat, especially with only half of his powers. He feared Nicolas might be killed if he didn't do something.However, despite all those thoughts ragging in his mind, he still wanted answers to questions that have been bugging him for quite sometime since his reincarnation. He took his time to concentrate and within seconds, he had managed to take over Nicolas' lips."Why, Xeno?" he demanded, his voice laced with fury. "Why did you decide to shatter the little love we had for each other? Why did you betray me?"Nicolas's gaze bore into Xeno's, his eyes ablaze with a mixture of anger and betrayal. Xeno's lips curled into a sneer, his expression one of contempt and resentment. He could feel the same aura from.the man standing before him. There was no doubt that Abron had really become reincarnate
Skr'll used her sharp claws to rip a tear on Gorom's scales then followed up her attack with a huge ball of fire. Gorom escaped the severe hit of her attack by moving out of the way swiftly.In the blink of an eye, the humongous serpent disappeared into the fog already taking up the entire jungle. It planned to fight without exposing itself too much to Skr'll's attacks.Skr'll, in her majestic dragon form, soared through the darkened skies, her senses alert as she sought out her formidable adversary. The monstrous serpent known as Gorom was the last of its kind. Skr'll had heard stories of how monsters identical to it had been hunted throughout history for its skin because of the strength and durability it gave to humans. As if hit by a tremendous force, Skr'll held her breath as she struggled to make sense of the aura she was feeling. There was no mistake, she could perceive the malicious intent of Xeno, the demon who had kept her locked up for five hundred years.Her anger reached
Lou-ra stood without a single ally in the vast desert, surrounded by a large number of Xeno's soldiers. She prepared herself internally by muttering chants that would come into good use use later.Their numbers stretched as far as the eye could see, their weapons glinting in the harsh sunlight as they advanced upon her with deadly intent. One of the soliders stepped forward. Judging from the air at which he walked, it wouldn't be a mistake to classify him as a demon with noble blood."This battle clearly can't go on" He said as he removed his helmet from his head.He stared at Lou-ra the exact same way she had been looked at since she was born into a family of insignificant demons. It was obvious he took her for a weakling whom he could easily defeat without working up a single sweat."What makes you say that?" Lou-ra asked.The solider looked from her to his comrades standing behind him, their vicious faces focussed on their target."You're outnumbered, and there is no way you expe
