"How many times is this same scenario going to play out?" a cold and dark voice of a being spoke as he sat down on his throne and watched the flames slowly engulfing his castle.

The thing wore a enormous black armour, but if one were to gaze at the face of the creature he would only see two ominous green eyes and a swirling mess of darkness nothing more.

The creature was no human by any means or any of the other races of this world it was an existence called the demon king it neither had a name nor a gender it was simply the demon king.

"MY KING THE ALLIANCE WILL SOON BREAKTHROUGH OUR RANKS!" a demonic looking being stormed inside the throne room, it was covered in wounds and even a few arrows were peeking out of its body.

The creature had the same black armour but unlike the demon kings body, the demon had two black wings on its back and a bulky body that wore the black armour.

"Zargal, I know I can see everything inside my domain what of the other two Beler and Kalna?" the demon king spoke as he stood up from his throne and made his way towards the kneeling demon.

".....They have fallen my king the heroes of the alliance have taken their lives.." after a brief silence the demon Zargal spoke in angry voice but beneath it a sad one.

"I see, so the never-ending death continues" the demon king spoke as he looked outside his window and saw the death and carnage that was happening right now.

"Zargal as you know we never truly die, not me, not you or any of my loyal warriors we are all just puppets to the gods, we amuse them its simple we try to destroy the world and they bring some brats from another world to destroy us, and NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE STRUGGLE WE ALWAYS END UP DEAD ALL OF IT IS FOR NOTHING!" as the king spoke he became angrier towards the gods and towards himself from being unable to save his kind from the endless suffering caused by the whims of the gods.

"Zargal they are here" after calming down the king spoke slowly and raised his hand and a pitch black sword appeared.

"Come heroes let my soul eater feast tonight!" as soon as the heroes entered the throne room they were meet with the barrage of attacks from both the demon king and his last loyal warrior and the general of the first legion Zargal.

"Damn it! Layla support us with your magic!" one of the heroes that carried a sword and a shield yelled out as he jumped in front of the demon king and blocked his strike.

"Very good human!" the king whispered as he disappeared from the sight of the sword and shield wielding hero.

"Shit where did he disappear!" he yelled as he looked around in panic, he felt a cold sensation behind him and he quickly turned around and blocked another strike from the soul eater, but this time the king was alose meet with a hail of arrows that pierced his armour.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"It hurts...soul arrows I see, damn you gods" the king retreated back into the shadow and slowly pulled out the soul arrows out of his body, what was left were black holes that were not closing at all.

"Arghhhh!!!" the king heard a pained yell and looked towards the source, he saw his last remaining general fall to roguelike elf woman that stabbed Zargal through the eyes and into his skull he was dead on the spot even for a demon that was a lethal strike.

"Rest well my friend" the king whispered as he stepped out of the shadows and just walked towards the middle of the throne room.

The female elf that wore a silver leather armour and jumped back towards the other two heroes "Zain, Layla we need to strike together if we are to defeat this abomination!" the elf yelled as she readied her daggers.

"I agree with Kuila, Leyla lets end this war once and for all CHARGE!" Zain the sword and shield hero yelled Kulia and him charged while Layla chanted in some ancient language.

"Finally rest..." the king raised his sword but as soon as the heroes were in the striking range his sword the soul eater disappeared.

The sword and the dagger along with the powerful magic of the sorcerer destroyed the demon king, peace was now secured and all the world rejoiced in the victory against the demon king.

"So I am finally returning to my prison" the king was now just a swirling mess of darkness he could not see nor hear anything but he knew his fate very well.

But this time something strange happened he could actually see the light and hear a buzzing sound, no not buzzing those were faint voices inside the light.

With every strength he could muster he moved closer towards the light and as soon as he was about to touch it he felt a power that wanted him back, he knew it was the gods that were doing that they wanted him back into the cage where he would just slumber until his next play for the gods.

No he was not going back and neither was his kin his loyal warriors he understood that the light was their salvation, he wanted freedom more than anything and he was going to get it.

He struggled against the force pulling him back and with all his strength he made it to the light which pulled him inside as he was being pulled inside the bright light he heard a faint and angry yell from behind him.

He had finally done it he escaped the cold and dark cage that had kept him locked up for all eternity until now, he and his kin were finally free from the endless cycle of torment.

"M......my lady!! The baby your daughter is alive she is breathing again!!" a loud female voice yelled, the king could feel the warmth coming from his side, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the female human that was crying with a smile towards him.

"Thank....thank you gods...thank you..." she kept crying and while she thanked the gods for saving her daughter from the cold hands of death.

"Lidia!" a man wearing a gold crown dressed in rather well cloths stormed inside the room and hugged the crying woman.

"I...I hear...I am so glad it was false information!" the king tried to speak but instead he started crying as while he kissed Lidia and then caressed the cheeks of his newborn daughter.

"My beautiful queen what shall we name our little princess?" the king asked Lidia as he still let a few tears down his cheeks.

"Her name shall be Eliana" the queen spoke as she kissed her daughters forehead.

"So a human, still better than the cage" the king now known as Eliana thought to herself amusingly.
