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
As the battle raged on around them, Nicolas and Gonro faced off in a fierce duel, their eyes staring at each other, waiting to see who would attack first."Gonro, it's been awhile" Lou-ra said,her resentment towards Gonro evident in her countenance.Gonro snarled as he shook his head."It's General Gonro to you" He replied."I see you've finally been given the position you so shamelessly begged for" Lou-ra said.Gonro frowned. 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
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
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.
