Author's note: Well, I worked hard on this chapter. Please enjoy my work! And seriously, is my story's name that unattractive?
Part 1
The elven city of Gaxul was now towering over the demon king himself. The demon king looked over the city and smirk, the preparations are finished. He could feel the throbbing in his heart as he sensed the complex machinery inside. He sensed a magic power that rivals even his, but blocked and sealed by a complex unknown magic.
The demon king smiled and he vanished the moment the guards came over to search for an intruder, only to find nothing but a corpse of a guard lying there, his face filled with fright.
The demon king reappeared on the far edge of the forest surrounding Gaxul. He then quickly ran away with swift footsteps before finding his army.
"Is the 'surprise' ready yet, Slavis?”
"Y-yes Master Diablo. All preparations are ready, Gaxul will definitely fall this time." Slavis, the demon of lust's face was filled with fear as she faced the almighty demon king.
"I will not tolerate another failure, Slavis. If this assault fails, then this will be the last time you see the sunset." Diablo strode away after he finished with Slavis. Slavis was cowering in fear as the demon lord went away.
Lately, something strange was happening to her, like a memory resurfacing. The memory was blocked and muddled up by something, and she can't seem to figure it out why.
After she got the power of lust, it seems as though the power had been conflicting with a spell casted on her mind.
(Sister, save me...) The moment those words passed through her head, an intense headache ran over her, she kneeled down from the intense pain and cried in agony. No one could hear her, no one will know except her.
(Get-out-of-my-head!!!!!) Her beautiful face slowly turned back to normal, and she slowly calmed down. She had a job to finish.
Part 2
"Well, well, long time no see Gaxul!" Mark was currently walking through the gates of Gaxul with up to 6 girls accompanying him, each with a different race. (Except Hanna and Chiron.) They closed up to the city walls and entered the city.
The other heroes were right behind him anyways, so he should just calm down first. Unbeknownst to him, glares of males were piercing him from the back. Filled with envy.
(Damn that Mark, he got six wives in a row, and their race aren't even the same!)
(Right? How could he do that! This world is just totally unfair!) Robert and Finnick were currently whispering with envy to each other as they stared enviously at the other girls surrounding Mark.
On the other hand, another boy was in huge trouble.
(Umm... Leafa? I think we shouldn't be in this posture.) Weston was nervously walking through the city behind Mark, and his girlfriend was clinging on to him like a slug.
(Does Westie hate my body?) Leafa sent back a mental message as she showed a abandoned-puppy face expression. Weston's face instantly turned bright red and he slowly realized he had lost the battle. He nodded and Leafa pushed her body forward onto his arms. Her ample, elastic breasts pushed onto his arms making strange sounds. The other females in Gaxul glared at Leafa in envy.
On the other hand, both of Mark's arms were clung on by Hanna and Chiron. Who were glaring at each other intensely. Alice was content with her position already and only attacked him when the other two were busy privately. Hanna was trying to steal Mark's attention from Chiron as well as gain the first place.
Jayborino was busy looking after Zagara as Silver and Sakura are chatting about future plans of events.
Anyways, they went up to the headquarter of the elf council to discuss the matter if the upcoming danger Jayborino informed them about. The army in Xion will reach here later, but the heroes arrived here first.
"By seriously, Jay, I haven't finished the books in the library yet. How can you do this to me. Mira had been giving us loads of homeword even though we're trying to have some free time here!" Mark complained about his unfinished homework and complained frustratingly. He hated social studies and can't wrap his heads around the geography and history blah blah blah of this world.
"C'mon, Siri-I mean Mark. You can do better than this if you just listen to Mira's lecturing more, y'know." Robert decided to butt in the conversation and voiced his opinion.
"Nice to say for a freaking class president." Mark retorted with a low voice. Mark can't really focus on subjects he doesn't like. In his class were the heroes and the other people he knew. Montra just had recently joined the class, and she was getting more and more used to class.
"If master tried his best, I think you could do almost anything!" Fenrir cheerfully encouraged Mark with this sentence. It made Mark's lips smirked wryly at the statement. The dragon girl was as cheerful as ever, always helping Mark out from complicated situations with her straightforward attitude.
"Yeah. You're right, maybe I should start listening in class." Mark made a determination as he and the others entered the elf council. Seeing alot of elves made Mark realize how rare the dwarfs are. And he really missed Karl and his mercenary group. He just got a message that he will be having a child soon. And it made Mark imagine some indecent scenes in secret. The advance medical magic of this world had reached the stage of being able to predict the child to be which race, right of the bat. But Karl still kept it secret.
"Oh, welcome Mark. Long time had pass since we've seen each other." Artineeus welcomed Mark and the other heroes politely while bowing. This elf has passed through many battles. And his face looks sleep-deprived from all the works he have shouldered recently. Being the leader of the elven council now was no easy matter, as he needs to deal with the defenses of Gaxul.
"Hi there, long time no see too!" Mark cheerfully greeted Artineeus as he shakes his hand. They both had a really special relationship regarding a 'certain' matter. Artineeus had caught wind about a mysterious youth appearing in the Royal Academy of Xion, and sent scouts to investigate. And found out that Mark was alive and kicking, to his surprise. He had been sure the boy would die, but yet he was here, with a strange left arm.
After finishing greeting the esteemed heroes, Jayborino proceeded to explain the situation. With Zagara as a witness and representative of the monster nation.
"So to summarize your point, the demons are attacking this city because of the
"
"You remember when we use a weapon to stop time and hold the demon army? That is what the
“Hm… That’s new, but what do you mean by
“Well… By mother I mean the original place we got the blueprint for the weapon. The time orb, teleportation rings, everything we have.”
“””””””“What!”””””””””
“Calm down, as the hero has said, there is indeed an alter-like thing beneath this city, but we knew not what it does, nor its origin. Our ancestors have learned advanced-class magic and learned much from this device. But… The magic from this device is wholly unknown. We can never guess where it came from, it is just… Different. The magic used to summon you heroes were also deprived from this device.”
Before the others could ask any more question, Artiness decided to lead them to the device himself. He went to the portrait of the earliest council leader and pressed some buttons there, the picture unfurled and behind it revealed a secret passage that led down to somewhere. There were currently no one except Artineeus and the heroes there. So they all went inside. Artaneeus explained the place while leading them.
“Our ancestors created this vault after discovering the device and decided to construct a city around it. This place is one of the biggest secrets of all time. The Altar can’t be removed, nor can it be re-engineered. So it is exclusive only to this place,” The lights around them lit up after Artineeus insert his powers into a certain rod. Everybody in the room gasped in amazement at the marvellous sight in front of them. There, they are standing with a thing similar to a gate, but instead with two great arcs towering above them and many unknown symbols all over the room.
Everybody was awed at the scene, the majesty of the place belittled even the glorious city of Xion or Gaxul itself. The lights around the room were lit up and it made everyone see the true elegance of the place.Mark inspected them and found out something strange. However, Artineeus shouted out the name. “Welcome… Heroes, to
However, while everyone in the room was marvelling at the scene. Mark felt strange, like something in him was triggered at the scene of this thing. Inside him a voice was transmitted to his mind.
(HO ho ho… now this is a big problem… A really big one…) The voice from his dreams last time after fighting the
(Human, since you are my first host, I guess it won’t harm me to tell you some information. This device is something I created, but I guess after I destroyed this device someone rebuilt it without MY permission. Luckily he haven’t finished it yet, he doesn’t know how to really build it at all. HO ho) The voice was chuckling, but his voice wasn’t amused by the sentence. Mark knew it from the emotion it is emitting.
(And what is it, you creep!) Mark mentally sent a message for the monster residing in him. He had a feeling that the moment he lost himself to hate, this monster was gonna get out of hand far more quickly than any thing in the world.
(This… Is what you can call,
(Bazulu)
(Yes, Bazulu, seems to know about this. And if he can get his hands on this, the other god…)
(Kataluzia)
(Che! no need to remind me, human. Anyway, Kataluzia will certainly fall at this rate.Or be in danger.)
(But they’re both gods! They can win against something at this scale, right? Kataluzia will probably-)
(Muahahahaha! Boy, you know nothing about the truth of this world. There are no such things as gods, only humans existed in the first place. The gods are a mere ‘dream’ the humans created to rebel against reality.)
(What?! But I thought he was a god, so-)
(He “is” a damn god, but he only has the power to create what human knows. Same to Gaia and Bazulu. They all can create something, but they still can’t overcome human souls nor unleash their power to destroy something instantly as they wish. Because they are after all stems from a human. No matter how hard they try, they can’t influence the original world, which is your Earth, but they can bring the human there and bring them over to the new world they have created based on the original. Gaia refrained from making a new world and-)
(Wait, you speak as if they had a beginning.)
(They WERE humans. Normal ones, but their stupid cowardice of they and all the humans to face the reality gave they new power. They don’t respect the laws of the universe and overcome them with magic. That’s why I hate them so much. The reason they can’t control human is because they haven’t realised the true power of the ‘soul’ of living things yet.)
(Souls? But we living things work with the brain!)
(You need to widen your point of view a little, your brain is just a mere supercomputer. The soul is the one who inputed the code. Don’t ask me further because I can’t answer more than this. The gods are a little different though.)
(But how?)
(Human, you shouldn’t ask any further about those cowards who feared the world, for one, you respect how the universe works and use your power limited by what the universe gave you. Although sometimes you used ‘magic’ to copy the power of the gods. You still use it limitedly more than most of the magic-crazed bastards who doesn’t give a damn respect to the laws. Boy, I made you my host because you are one of the first people to know science. But that isn’t the most important part. The most precedent one is that you don’t FEAR the laws of the universe. You EMBRACE it as your own. And learn to use it. Usually most people just fear reality and instead try to deny it.) The voice went silent after that and Mark returned to the real world.
Only to find a beautiful, adorable face staring at him worriedly. It was Hanna, she looks worried about her boyfriend for suddenly blanking out. Her face was so close Mark quickly pulled back, if he had moved a bit further, he would have kissed her.
“Are you okay, Onii-chan? You suddenly stopped talking and Blanked out, again.”
“It was just-“
“You can tell me if something is bothering you okay, Onii-chan? I will always help you.” Hanna inched towards with a dignified tone. She was truly a strong girl, unlike the weak-looking girl that must be protected many years ago. It brought a smile to Mark’s face and he knew that Hanna would have already guessed that he was up to something.
“I’ll be sure to do that, but first, let me inspect this device first.” After mentioning that, Mark moved towards the device to see it, and found himself gaping from shock. This machine had writings on it that he couldn’t describe. And Mark was shocked at the fine detail this device was made from. He looked at it further and saw ancient looking text on different spells and magical machinery.
“If this device can talk to the gods of the demons, we should destroy it.” Jayborino voiced out his opinion broadly as shocked faces surrounded him. Everyone doesn’t want to destroy such a marvellous device. But Jayborino was sure that it was better to not risk.
“But that would be bad.” Rohana made a rebuttal when a loud sound of a bell rattled through the city. CLANG!
“So they have started, esteemed heroes, it is time. It looks like your predictions are correct, and we shall repel the demon army together.” Artineeus said out as he led everyone out of the secret passage back to the room and out of the sacred place.
Part 3
“Looks like the elves are well prepared this time. Is the
“Yes, my king. All the blocks have been placed on each section of the wall. Do you want me to activate it yet?”
“No, we shall engage them first. Bellizia, you control the orcs while you, Grodias, you will lead the main demon army. Expect some parts of our troops to be paralysed in time for a while. And now… Zeldias.” The demon king called out to one of his very last demon lords. Zeldias emerged from his place and came forward. He had a large build unlike the slender Bellizia or Slavis. But a little smaller than Grodias.
“You will come with me to deal with those Bazulu-damned people. We will take out their main fighters in the battlefield and wear them out.”
“Yes, my king.” Right after Diablo finished calling all his main leaders he watched the army of 5,000 strong orcs and 20,000 formidable demons. He smiled and glared at the high wall surrounding the city of Gaxul.
“Attack!!!!!”
Part 4
“Ready our defences. We will hold the walls. Our wall will never fall to those demon bastards!!!!! IN THE NAME OF PAN!!!!!!!!!!!” The elf generals shouted out this command and readied the defences. He looked at the demon army and cowered in fear. But he mustn’t show it in this place.
"Fire the cannons!!!!!!" The elves repeated the order fired the magic cannons they received from the dwarves' country. The cannon were the latest model that have some special effects on them. The moment the cannon shell was floating above the demon army, it broke apart and send rains of little bombs everywhere.
BAAM!!! Magical explosions rattled through the battlefield as many demons fell. But the demons are more prepared than ever as they deployed a barrier to guard themselves.
After the dust from the cluster bombing receded. The elf found themselves with the demons marching closer to the walls. They haven't stopped at all.
Mark and the other girls were stationed behind the walls, prepared for a breakthrough of the demons. The heroes were also stationed on different part of the cities.
(Strange.) Chiron studied the war of this world more than most and knew that usually the demons aren't as dumb as to suddenly attack just like this. It was just... Unusual and illogical.
She went over to Rohana to ask her a certain question. After Rohana listened and tried what she asked, she felt relieved until she saw a certain elf with a uncommon mana walking to the walls.
"Stop!" Rohana shouted to the elf who was approaching the walls. She quickly showed a panicked face and started to run faster to the walls. Mark and the others quickly saw the situation and Chiron ran towards the elf. She disarmed her and immediately caught her.
The elf tried to wiggle out of Chiron's advanced locking technique. She was caught and Mark approached her.
"What are you doing?" Mark asked the elf. He noticed the chaotic pupils of the elf dashing left and right. And he tried to wrestle out of Chiron's control all the while muttering incomprehensible words like.
"Must... Go....master......is......need ... pleasure.." Mark saw that the male elf had a strange eye. As if being enchanted. He had saw those eyes before, back on earth, those crazy eyes belonged to someone who had taken the forbidden drugs. Illegal drug addicts.
(Has he fallen to an unimaginable lust that ultimately took away his sense of right and wrong? A broken person is hard to fix. And elf have strong minds, so falling to something like addiction is hard. Unless...) Mark gathered up his thoughts and decided to question Rohana and Montra who were experts when…
"That magic? Impossible. This art has been banished by my great-grandmother a long time ago." Montra had a bloodshot expression as she walked towards the elf. Her eyes were radiating pure wrath.
"What do you mean, dark elf?" Rohana decided to ask her far kin.
"This magic is banished due to its awful side effects. It literary muddles up a person's consciousness and makes him or her only focused on something. One of my great-grandmother's son was enchanted by this spell by a dark elf to undermine his mother's position from the throne. Luckily, great-grandmother found out and stopped her campaign and exiled her away from the hidden city or Mak'kir. After that, the art of this magic completely vanished. But this elf…"
"Do you know a way to dispel this art, Montra?" Alice asked one of the most crucial question, and Montra hung her head down in sadness.
"No... The son who was enchanted took 10 years to fully regain his mind. But after effects still lingers even after that. Only time will heal him.
"Damn, even when we're in war, problems from the inside still lingers." Hanna complained, but Mark was still brainstorming all the information.
"Wait, if this elf is enchanted, is there a possibility that other ones are enchanted as well?" The moment Mark muttered those words, the huge green wall surrounding Gaxul trembled. Then it started to sink down. And by saying that means that I is just SINKING down. An idea flashed through Mark's head and he shouted the answer in surprise.
"The walls are being sabotaged!!!!!" After he said that, the section of the wall facing the demon army started collapsing.
Part 5
"Retreat from the walls, its a trap!" Diablo heard those words and smiled in glee as he watched the walls continuing to sink down. He had captured elves and asked Slavis to use her magic on them. They became his puppets and installed his 'surprise' in the walls. After the device that sink walls were fed with magic, it will destroy the base below the walls and gravity does the rest.
Diablo watched the walls sinking down as the demon army marched forward. The demon lords leading them. The raptors were released and they ran through the scene to the sinking city gates.
The elves he had let Slavis used her
"Is
"Y-yes my king, the monster is arriving now. It shall swallow our foes and destroy their armies.”
"...Slavis, I find your lack of determination disturbing. What had gotten over you? If you plan to betray me, I Will Kill You." Diablo left those words with Slavis as he walked away quietly.
What's left on Slavis's face was only confusion and fear.
Part 6
After the front section of the walls fully sank down, the army of elves must face against the full brunt of the demon force. The little amount of Gaxul forces that were left was almost instantly overwhelmed by the humongous forces of demons.
"CHARGE!!!!" "OOoooooh!!!!" Robert was riding a black horse as he shouted out in a commanding tone. He led 400 elf Calvary against the incoming demon army. He was a Malloor, the tip of the spear formation. He broke through the demon formation with brute force and thousand of demons fell to his fierce attacks. His magic sword attacks smashed the Orcs and reduced the insect monsters to a normal pile of useless meat.
Jessie was besides him and she was also continuously leading the attack. The two
"I've smashed 12 Orcs and 24 demons already, how about you, cowboy?”
"Tch... 30 demons, 4 orcs... I'll get more okay!" Robert can't stand the smug expression Jessie was making as he tried to use his long sword to sweep more Orcs. Jessie was better in killing larger targets than Robert. So she was more effective in killing Orcs than him.
The calvary behind them viewed this act as a gesture of courage and they shouted battlecry. and marched on.
"Wardiaz, the earth elemental that control the rocks, lend me your power to smash thy foes,
"Sorry big guy, I'll feed you some high quality sugar later," Robert patted his horse's mane and urged him on."and more importantly, Jessie! I just blew away 20 Orcs! That makes 24!!!”
"That's cheating!" The girl with a muscular body retorted in anger.
Meanwhile, imps riding werewolves was doing something similar to Roberts, they smashed through the elf blockade and drove the elves back. But with a larger force. Slavis was leading them with her mind control tricks, until a certain shadow of a man and woman was in front of them.
(Ufufufu, Westie, how about you give me a kiss of encouragement before I start doing something.)
(This is not a game, Leafa! Sheesh! There's a bazillion imps riding on Werewolf back rushing at us!)
(Ahhh I suddenly for some reason whatsoever feel weak. I can't use my magic anymore. If only Westie would share me his magic by kissing me)
(Urgg fine! But not now, after we finish, I'll sleep with you tonight. But only if you don't do anything strange!)
(Muu, you can just kiss me now though. But sleeping with you is also fine. Kukuku...) Weston was busy chanting his spell while communicating with Leafa. So he can't kiss her yet. If Leafa doesn't cooperate now, the spell would backfire and damage them both.
"The wind that blast away my foes,”
"The cold and darkness that swallows and freezes all being," The two of of them shouted in unison as they prepared their magic.
"

"
The wind packed with bits of sharp ice blew through the imps and werewolves and broke their formation. The werewolf grew disorientated as they fling away their riders. Weston and Leafa doesn’t let this moment go and she cast another humongous spell.
“Aqua is feared for her power of the void. She can swallow all with the unknown depth of the water. Swallowing and ending the existence of all being. She can be said to be the god of death and fear,
(Great job, Leafa!) Weston sent his message as he spontaneously generated 50 fire arrows that pierce his enemies with ease. The enemies that got shot burned and wailed as they tried to cling on to life.
(Westie, we should retreat first and regroup with the army, we delayed the enemies long enough already.) Just breaking the tip of the charging imp calvary was more than enough to delay and deal damage to the imp calvary. After all, these imps use the power of the initial charging to keep their formation. If Weston and Leafa waited here for any longer, the bigger army will catch up and overwhelm them.
Part 7
Sometime after Weston’s engagement, Jayborino and Sakura were heading to another part of the battle. Silver was in the backlines healing injured warriors. There, in front of them, stood Grodias. His huge build was bulging with muscles. The demon lord stared at Jayborino and Sakura in contempt.
“There is no way you can beat me, hero. I have far more power than you.” \
“Well, I’ve got enough confidence to fight anyone, even a demon lord, as long as it isn’t Mark.” Jayborino casually retorted as he flexed his muscles. He had a slender build and all his magic was reinforcing his muscle power. It could be said that his magic is far more unique than most, since after getting the gravity rings, his magic had evolved to better accommodate that gravitationalized field. “Catch.” Jayborino tossed something to Grodias and Grodias casually grabbed it, only to realise the sudden increase in weight around him. He was pushed down unpreparedly and his face smashed against the ground. Jay used that instant to close in and smashed the demon lord with his feet.
BOOM!
The ground that got hit was smashed open with brute force. Jayborino’s feet was naked and his toes were clinging onto the ground. Making this kick possible for him without bouncing him up from Newton’s third law. However, Grodias had dodged in time and discarded his rings. His face was filled with fury as he prepared his spell.
Jayborino knew something big was coming so he summoned his strength to princess carry Sakura and himself away from the place they just stood at. And barely managed to avoid a rage of light rays that chipped away the ground. The next instant, all that was left was molten pile of rock.
(That light melts rocks!? This is more troublesome than I thought.)
Jayborino glared at Grodias. He then firmly placed left foot on the grassy plains below. His left foot grabbed the land below him as he prepared to launch himself forward. Grodias wasn't prepared as a human with an absurd speed. He quickly brought up its arms to block, but still got blasted away by Jay's fist.
Grodias toppled over many times before he gained the ground and balanced himself properly using his hands. His face was red with fury.
"You're gonna pay for that, huma- Gufu!" Grodias barely dodged a sword strike aiming at the nape of his neck. Sakura was waiting for an opportunity all along, and she showed a regretful face when the demon lord dodged her strike. Demon lords have a far higher level of intuition than normal organisms.
"Now, you've done ittttt!!!!!!!!" Grodias bellowed out as he suddenly grabbed his chest as if to take his heart out from his body. He chanted something dangerous and ominous dark clouds surrounded his body. Jayborino perceived the danger this may bring and erased the distance between the demon and himself with the floor behind him blown apart from the jump.
However, Grodias already had a smug look on his face.
"Unholy art,
"I must praise you, hero, no one has ever lived after tasting my
Jayborino tried to stand up as he staggered with the mere act. He was still trying to stand up and fight against the monster who was casually walking towards him, assured of his victory. All of Jay's muscles ached, his bruises were tore open. In the end, even his superhuman body had a limit. He regrettably thought out.
(So this is as far as I go...) The boy thought. Now that he think of it, he has not too much regret. Sakura would be safe by now, she would've ran away like a normal human should. Mark could take care of them both, if he won't, Jay swore he would haunt him forever. He truly had nothing to look back and frown for, except maybe making love with Silver and Sakura. He imagined having a good life with them in this world. He would have a children with each one of them. Have a son and daughter. Raise them, lend them his gravity rings, and play with them as a dad.
(Haha, now you're thinking about these unreal things. Why is my brain such a scumbag at such a place. Making me think of those things...) Jayborino's life flashed through his very eyes. The vague memory of his mother, how his dad had always scolded him but still managed to encourage him in the end. He had been the weakest in the class, and got bullied alot by Finnick and, what was his name again. Siris/Mark had always tried to cheer him up and protect him. But he wasn't always around to help.
(Oh, I remember...) On a certain faithful day, the bullies cornered him and Jayborino was about to be one-sidedly beat up. A certain girl came out and called the teachers. The girl picked up the beaten crying boy with her strong hands. He looked at her as if she was his idol, his ideal. Yes, Sakura helped him and gave him the stupid and foolish courage to go on with his life. After that, life was better somehow. Or at least the perspective of life he had always dreamed of.
(I...I haven't even said thank you properly yet…)
Jayborino had a drop of tear flowing down his chin as he saw his death closing in.
Part 8
Mark continued to look at the horrible situation below him. Yes, he was riding on Fenrir, his loyal dragon. She was blasting away the army of Orcs with her fiery breath and pieces of red flesh burned over the battlefield. Mark was a little disturbed how they smelled just like barbeque but ignored it.
He had a far far bigger problem. Standing below him was a literal definition of a devil sowing death through the pitiful elf warriors. It was the demon king, Diablo. The elves cried in horror at the undefeatable enemy and an invulnerable demon lord besides him.
Mark used the muscle power he gained from the Beastman's queen to jump down from Fenrir's back. He didn't bring anyone along since Mark's magic was far too destructive for a team fight. He can't show his true power with allies surrounding him. He landed right in front of an elf who was about to be targeted, also shouting orders behind him.
"RETREAT!!! FALL BACK TO THE CITY!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS MYSELF!!" The elf warrior and some other major species like the beastmans were more than glad to retreat as they all pulled back in unison. The formation they were using was meant for them to act like a wall as they hold an army of demons, not a super living being.
"We meet again, human." Diablos smiled as his eyes slit like a snakes' and his body tensing up. Many years ago, they both had a fight with the demon king ending up losing to the 'Strongest' human. But now, it was different.
"Long time no see, what was your name again? I'm sorry but I'm bad at remembering a
Suddenly, the moment he was near him. Zeldias slowed down. He felt no resistance, but it was as if reaching the human boy was taking long. TOO LONG.
Mark lifted his mechanical hand up and from it shot 3 akali element-rich bullets. Mark used Posieson's power to create a sudden burst of pure water. The akali element bullet lump slowly reached the wall of of water in front of it.
Akali element is the very first group in the periodic table. It is deemed dangerous due to its very high reactivity. When hit with water, the hydrogen atom will be pulled out forcefully and replaced with the akali element. Thus liberating pure hydrogen gas. Which has a very high and dangerous combustion rate. This technique was far easier to produce than Mark's former railgun bullet. And with much more explosion. Especially with a 'small' block of francium. The only bad thing about it is how dangerous and making the wall of water.
BOOOOM!!!!!
Zeldias was blasted backwards with the explosion caused by the reactive hydrogen. Mark had a sweat trickling down his head. Producing Francium instantaneously took quite a mental work. Francium element lasts for just a short while before finishing up its lifespan.
However, what was taking more of his mental image was something else.
"Once upon a time, in Greek mythology. Gaia, the ruler of Earth, and a sky-dude married and gave birth to titans." Mark was casually saying something without care. "And one of them is named Kronos. He uses a sickle to slay his father and liberate his brothers. He married and gave both to gods, Zeus, Posiedon... Etcetera. But his greatest power was probably what he was most revered for. What he ruled over was…"
The demon king felt the area surrounding the human slowed. Including himself, the leaf took longer to reach the ground. The dust took time to flow. And Mark voiced the answer to what he is controlling.
“
Part 9
Hanna saw the area Mark just went to seemed to go weird. The whole area there was slowing down somehow. If she hadn't sensed that it was her lover's magic. She would have rushed in and tried to interfere instantly. Her body was aching to go and help. But Mark warned her to not follow him. Additionally, she was holding up against an army if demon, which was far more than she would've thought.
"Montra, how are you holding up?”
"I'm sick of monster blood.”
"Well, I guess that means you're fine." Montra was one of the people on Hanna's watch list. She was sometimes suddenly lustful towards Mark and attacked him. Which failed every times due to Alicia stopping her just in the nick of time. Her multiple personalities were disturbing.
"No seriously, anymore of this and I'm sucking your blood as medicine, Rohana." Rohana's magic was unique and rich, ideal for Montra's target of sucking. She loved sucking blood from elves. But the person she wanted to suck the hell out of most was Mark. Just smelling his blood was enough for her to feel extremely an extreme almost uncontrollable urge to drink it.
"Fine, dark elf. I'll let you suck my blood after this." Rohana shouted back via swiftly landing a wide-range attack that swept the demon army away. Her green linen clothes fluttered in the wind from the sudden burst of magic. But her eyes were calm as she watched the demon army being slowed. Suddenly, a high class reaper closed in on her and was about to land a surprise attack on her back!
But a dark figure suddenly appeared behind her back and blocked the reaper's blow with a dagger. And the fight manifested a dark ball of flame that smashed into the reaper's abdomen. Blasting it away whilst burning it up.
Rohana looked at the figure with a tinge of shame on her face, and the figure started to talk.
"You should be careful of your back, Rohana. Those reapers are crafty as hell.”
"Thanks, Chiron. I underestimated my enemies too much.”
"Well, anyways. I already looked around... And there is a big problem. I saw an endless tide of these army coming. We won't be able to hold the line at this rate." Chiron looked down with a regretful face. She had been silently plucking lives from some of the strongest enemies as she ventured deep into the army while erasing her presence. Killing the enemy generals proved effective at creating confusion and delaying, but it won't last forever.
"Is Gaxul gonna fall?" Alicia asked meekly, she had once lost her homeland, before claiming it back. So seeing something similar happening again pained her heart. She was smashing away enemies with great speed and throwing
“..."
The whole party went silent, knowing that they can't be certain about this statement. Rohana stared at her beloved city sorrowfully. She knew that everything has an end. A limit. Hanna stared at the hopeless faces at her comrades and she shouted out angrily.
"Who the hell cares about these things at this time! All we need to do now is beat the @#$% out of these annoying bastards! Then we'll worry about the city later!”
Montra also had a fed up face as she continued slicing more and more demons, her ominous sickle absorbing the blood and giving her more power.
"Correct, our hidden city of Aservere would be more than ideal accept you elves to our home. We have weapons that doesn't base itself from its elegance. We have room for a million more elves.”
The other girls cheered up a bit and almost forgot the threat of Gaxul—Almost.
Part 10
Death was marching to his doors as Jayborino was lying there defeated. He can't fight back against the might of the demon lord. His body has reached its very limits and his strength to even stand up was gone. His heart was beating slowly and he was losing more and more blood. His body was acting as if saying, "This is the limit, I can no longer function.”
Grodias moved closer and closer, time seemed to slow as Jayborino saw the demon lord closing in step by step.
"Oh you're crying now huh, hero. You know very well that you can at least beg for mercy here." Grodias was mocking the man who lost the battle.
A big ball of shadow materialized on Grodias's hand. Jay smiled at last. At least he was able to get Sakura out alive, all was well. He could die with almost no regrets.
"Noooooo!!!!!" Just at that moment, a figure rushed in from nowhere with a battle cry and aimed her sword at Grodias, who casually dodged the attack and blew her away with force. She toppled over the ground and she was breathing heavily.
(Sakura?!)
"Hmph, am annoyance to my schemes. Oh... What's with that face, hero. Don't tell me you care about this girl. I shall enjoy your last breath a little more.”
Grodias lifted up Sakura and she pulled her over to Jayborino's line of sight.
"A fine women, she would entertain the demon lord and the Orcs. It will take time, but breaking her wouldn't be impossible." Grodias tore open Sakura's shirt, revealing her bra and belly bottom. Jayborino would have screamed if he had the power, but his body wouldn't let him.
(No... Not Sakura... No!!!) Jayborino tried to move his body. But it wouldn't work. He was far too injured. Will he die? Will he see his love get raped in front of him?
-A week ago-
"Mark, there's been something strange about mw recently.”
"Hmm? What is it?”
"I feel... like lately I can't get stronger. Like I'm stuck on a bottleneck.”
Mark sat up on his bed. They both would go to Gaxul soon, but seeing Jayborino saying this woke him up.
“Explain.”
"Well, I don't feel like I'm getting stronger anymore. No matter how much I train. Like I can't seem to pass an invisible
"Maybe its the limit your body set for you.”
“Limit?"
"All living creature has a limit. They can't surpass it without... I don't know? Giving up humanity? But all living things has a limit. So you can't just get stronger.”
“Oh..."
All things has limits set by god. Everybody can't get past a certain level. A human is still human no matter what.
-Now-
(Move, damn it move!!!!!!) Jayborino's will resonated throughout his body. He needs to move. He had something far more important than his life getting raped in front of his eyes, he can't allow it. His body screamed in protest. It sent pain messages to his brain, ordering him to stop. To accept the limit of human being.
(Screw that. Limits? Unsurpassable wall? Impossibility? Fuck it!!! Who cares when you got your freaking girlfriend getting raped in front of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"And now, her private part will be- Gufu!!!!”
Grodias didn't know what was happening to him. The next thing he knew, he was lying on the floor, a small crater surrounding him. His body ache, and he opened his eyes and stared in front of him. There, a man who shouldn't have any power left was standing, carrying the girl that was at his mercy a moment ago in his arms.
Once upon a time, a youth walked through the fields with a smile. He was a foolish youth, wanting a happy ending with his lover. He was always helped and pitied. Then one day, he saw his very girlfriend about to get raped in front of him.
He was injured, unable to move.
His body gave up.
He had nothing left.
But he stood up, like in the fairy tales in the children's book. With new power and might. He surpassed the status of a mere human to be something else. He broke the limiter of his very own body with his willpower that bends the original limitations. There was one word that could describe him.
Yes, He was…
A true
Part 11
Ataneeus looked over his kingdom. Beautiful towers that had lasted years were destroyed in minutes. More and more Gohmas were popping from the ground, spitting out more abominations of insect monsters.
"Sir! The southern gate has fallen, casualty numbers are rising in the minutes!" A messenger reported the dire news to Artineeus.
"Is the evacuation to Aservere finished yet?”
"Almost, only some citizens are left. Other peoples stayed behind to guard the city till their last breath.”
"Don't worry, Artaneeus. The people of Aservere will accept your kind well.”
"I know, thank you, Queen, for your cooperation." He had used the
Now, what sadden him most was how he must tolerate seeing his very own city fall. He seemed to age 20 more years. He picked up a large scroll from his pocket, and handed it to the night elf's queen.
"What is this?”
"This is all that our engineers and magitist(magic's scientist) were able to decode from our device. I want you to take it to your kingdom. Make good use of it. You should start evacuating too.”
"HM? Device?”
"That isn't important now, this place will go down soon. I wished I was wrong. But if this city is going down, I won’t let it go down with those demons taking over. I’d rather see it burn than to be infested by the corrupters.”
The queen looked panicked at the sentence and tried to raise a protest, before finding out that Artaneeus already went away. The queen muttered ‘boys… all the same’ and she proceeded to the evacuation tank. The tank was equipped with the magic shells that blows away enemy easilily. Even a demon lord won’t go unharmed.
Artaneeus walked to the device. He can’t destroy it no matter what, even the strongest weapon and magic can’t do it. But he and his fellow elves had found out something, a secret switch. After centuries of decoding, he found out it was the emergency destroying switch. But it required a life of a creature with strong magic affinity to destroy it.
He slowly raised the door in front of him as he entered the sacred room. The glittering wall full of strange but beautiful crystals covered the room. Artaneeus slowly walked as he harden his resolution to the certain hidden part of the device. He won’t let the device fall to enemy hands, no matter the cost.
Part 12
Finnick and Cena were now fighting with the demon commander with speed that would shame the royal elf guard. They both were good at martial arts and Cena quickly broke the demon’s limb while Finnick ended its life.
“You’re better than I thought, Finnick.” Cena said silently as she took down another demon. Finicky came and finished the job with his killing blow, but almost lost his composure when Cena uttered those words. He had never seen the girl sincerely praise him like this ever before.
(I must have misheard.)
“You know, when you saw me naked, I was kinda happy actually. I thought that you would be bewitched by the Leafa snake before seeing me.”
(No NO NOOO!! Don’t bring out those happy memories now!? I’m busy damn it!!!!)
Well, let’s just say they were also leading the evacuation and more and more heroes were joining with them.
Part 13
Jayborino played down the injured Sakura. He stared at the demon lord in front of him. His eyes were filled with anger. He clenched his fist. His feet was firmly placed on the ground. The demon fought back, its used its massive power to rush himself towards Jayborino. But the next thing he knew…
Jayborino was right in front of him. He calmly raised his punch and punch Grodias in the abdomen 10 times in 4 seconds. He had surpassed the limit of a human and became a true hero. He didn’t wait for Grodias to counter, as he suddenly appeared behind him. Grodias wasn’t an amateur as he jumped up and avoided the blow. Grodias then tried to punch Jay, but Jay punch back and a huge shockwave was created. They continued to fight and exchange blows.
The ground beneath them broke apart from the mere power of the exchange of blows. No matter what Grodias did, he can’t seem to overwhelm Jay in this exchange of blows. Jayborino was instead overwhelming him. He sent back more punch than even Grodias can imagine.
All of Grodias blows were blocked and countered and blocked. He had shock in his eyes. This isn’t a human?! This is….
Grodias rained down more and more punches at Jay. But Jay shut him up with a single fist. Jay kicked the demon in the head and blew him away with some craters for decoration.
The injured Grodias Jumped up in the sky, his eyes filled with anger.
“I’m not done yet!!!! HERO!!!!!!!!” Grodias unleashed all the magic inside of him, he input it inside of his body and he prepared the final blow, but then what he saw angered him. Jayborino has no fear in his eyes. The demon lord summoned the last of his strength and gathered the powers in front of him.
“I will crush you. I will defeat you. I WILL KILL YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
The blast came down with a ray of light. If it hits the ground, all that will be left would be a large volcano hole. But…
“I will crush you too, demon.
With that word, the power that was coming down using all of the demon lord’s power was split wide open. And the demon was blown away with it.
And ended the life of the demon lord. Grodias
