The Demon Lords surrounded the burnt and unrecognizable body of Lord Azazel. Their eyes widened as they stared at him in silence, their minds reeling from the extent of his injuries.Lady Marla spoke first. "His regeneration is very slow. These wounds... they have ravaged his body beyond it's limit."Lady Azaria added, her voice hinted with awe, "I have never seen a Demon Lord beaten this badly. Just how strong is this Arthur?"Lord Morok, aggressively turned to Lady Lyra, his voice filled with anger. "Don't mess with us. Are you telling me you two couldn't take down one man?""Lord Azazel made an agreement with Lance. If Lord Azazel were to be defeated, the Devil King's Army must retreat. Lord Azazel's agreement tied our hands. We couldn't break it. We had no choice but to retreat," Lady Lyra replied, her voice small and wavering. Lord Morok's fury erupted and he yelled and jerked Lady Lyra up by the collar. "That is bullshit! I can understand if Lord Azazel failed. He's the weake
The night was clear and beautiful as the flying turtle ship glided through the celestial expanse.Arthur marveled at the vastness of the sky, the twinkling stars that adorned it, and the gentle breeze that brushed against his face. The ship's captain skillfully steered the vessel, guiding it through the night as they soared towards their destination.Amidst the darkness, the moon shone brightly, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. Arthur found himself captivated by its radiance. He had never seen the moon so close. He sat alone on the deck, his gaze fixed on the moon. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of fulfillment and purpose in this new life he had chosen. He had left his past behind to forge a new path and make a difference in this world.Arthur's thoughts then turned to Lord Azazel's core. The demon lord's core had caught his attention and now he couldn't stop thinking about it. From his experience playing fantasy video games, he knew of how certain mons
The floating city of Aerora spread across the sky atop billowing clouds, a magnificent sight to behold. The city had once thrived on the surface of the earth, but ten thousand years ago, the king of Aerora desired to protect his kingdom from the ravages of war and invading enemies.In his quest for safety, the king assembled a council of the finest Wizards he could find, amassing a group of over three hundred skilled individuals. Together, they delved into the realms of magic and harnessed its power to create a remarkable source of energy. This magical power source, known as the Aether Crystal, possessed the ability to lift the entire city into the sky.For millennia, Aerora remained suspended in the air, flourishing in peace and prosperity. Legends passed down through generations whispered of a great treasure hidden within the city—the Sunburst arrows. It was said that these arrows were forged by the Sun god himself, but he despised the weapon and cast it aside, dismissing it as
Arthur turned to Aria, Ethan, and Levi after a solemn calm had fallen on the city. "It's going to be dangerous ahead," he said gravely. "Lance, Irina, and I will venture into the palace to confront the demon lord. But I need all of you to stay behind and ensure everyone's safety. Evacuate the city if possible."Lance nodded, his eyes reflecting his support. "Considering the chaos that Arthur's previous fight with Lord Azazel caused, it's best we evacuate everyone," he suggested. "We don't want any casualties."Arthur turned to Levi, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Levi, I'm leaving you in charge," he said firmly. "There are enough vessels in the city for everyone. Evacuate the people as quickly and safely as possible."Levi nodded resolutely. "I'll do just that," he affirmed and Arthur knew he would.With the evacuation plans set in motion, Arthur, Lance, and Irina ran toward the palace, their hearts racing. Arthur's sole focus was finding Lily alive. If anything bad happened to he
Arthur, with his super reflexes and honed agility, swiftly dodged the strikes of the Gorgon clone as it slashed at him. His body flowed like water, evading the deadly claws and fangs of the Gorgon. As the snakes lunged at him, Arthur anticipated their movements and sidestepped their bites. With a swift swing of his Vortrax axe, he struck the snakes, severing their heads one by one. The room echoed with the sickening sound of decapitated serpent heads hitting the ground.But to his surprise, the severed heads of the snakes began to grow back, not with single heads but with double the number. "I see," Arthur muttered, his voice was wary. "If their heads get decapitated, they regenerate with more heads."He sighed in exasperation. "We're running out of time. The more time we spend here, the more quickly that demon gets her hands on the Sunburst arrows."Just as Arthur was about to step forward to face the Gorgon clone, Lance and Irina suddenly positioned themselves before him, confr
Suspended in mid-air, was a swirling portal. It was emanating Lady Azaria's overwhelming aura. Arthur fixed his eyes on the portal and for a long while, he studied the situation. He need no prophet to tell him that Lady Azaria must be somewhere within that otherworldly dimension."I mustn't waste time," Arthur took a deep breath and leaped into the portal.He landed within a stone maze of the dimension. Arthur's surroundings caught his attention, like a snare. The walls of the maze were thick and impenetrable, towering high above him. It was three taller than the walls of Valoria city. Looking up, Arthur squinted against the blazing hot skies. The sun bore down upon him, casting an intense heat that made him sweat. "Too hot," he shielded his eyes. "I must've entered a realm vastly different from the other world."It was a harsh and unforgiving place. The ground was dry and cracked and there wasn't a sign of life. Arthur pushed aside his questions and focused on his mission to
Lady Azaria's eyes glared at Arthur, filled with anger. It was the first time a mere man cut off her head.Never before in her entire existence as a demon had she experienced such humiliation.Arthur turned his attention to Lily. He stared at her as she continued to separate the Sunburst arrows from the crystal. One look at her movements told him she was under Lady Azaria's control. Anger he had never felt before surge through him. He turned sharply at Lady Azaria's head. "You demon! How dare you put Lily under your evil influence?" He raised his voice. Lady Azaria's decapitated head remained still for a moment then a wicked grin formed on her lips. "How interesting," she hissed eerily, smacking her lips. Suddenly, her head started sprouting limbs and rapidly developing a body, reconstituting itself before Arthur's eyes. "No mortal has ever decapitated my head before. Allow me to introduce myself, Arthur. I am Lady Azaria, a demon lord and one of the Devil King's six generals
The Bounty Hunters. The Bounty hunters were men and women with god-tier combat skills, renowned for their deadly abilities. They were majorly hardened criminals, assassins or outlaws. They don't abide by the laws of the land neither do they side with anyone. Their insatiable thirst for money drives them to do anything. The Bounty hunters were under the umbrella of the Dark guild. The dark guild was a unique and secretive faction which gave resources to the bounty Hunters to enhance their pursuits. The Bounty hunters loyalty lay solely with their own interests. No task was too dangerous or morally ambiguous if the payout was good.This was why Lord Zephyr choose to use the Bounty hunters for his purpose. Lady Azaria's unexpected death hit him like a hammer. It disorganized his thoughts. With the other demon lords still out there and hunting for the remaining artifacts, it won't be long before Arthur, posed a significant threat to his plans. In an effort to slow down Arthur's p
