“This is a story about the life, death and life of the strongest hero.”
The atmosphere was very strange, one lone man standing on a dragon facing thousands of undead and demon legions, holding a black with a crimson lightning patterned bow smiling even though looking at the terrifying legion in front of him.
Strong gusts of wind, chuckling skeletons, burning trees and grasses were the only sounds that can be heard.
.
….
……..
*bzzzzztttt*
*Craccccccckkkkkklllllleeeeeee!!!!!*
*booooommm!!!*
After a lightning strikes the ground, thousands of undead and demon armies swarms the two figures
Kkkkkkiiiiiilllllllllll!!!!
Kiiiilllll!!!!
Ggggrrrrraahhhh!!!!
Looking at the dragon then nodding, the crimson haired man standing above the majestic blue dragon jumps while chanting a magic that forms a brick of wall to stand on, aiming at the sky the man chants his skill
“Star Fall”
whoooooosh!!!*
The man shoots an arrow to the sky then a huge white hexagram almost covering the sky appears and rays of luminescent light strikes hundreds of demons and undead below quickly turning them to ashes from every light that strikes them, many demons and undead died just from the strike that the man chanted.
While the man aims and shoots at the weak points of every enemy that he saw, the dragon also strikes its claw at the legion breaking and flattening them effortlessly.
Undead archers and mages aims at the man that took many of their allies to ashes creating thousands of arrows and volleys of fire balls towards the man.
Knowing that he was being aimed at, he quickly flicks his finger and made his arrow enchanted with vicious winds
“Wind Edge”
Aiming at the fire balls,the man shoots an arrow creating strong blades of wind to put out the fire balls the undead armies aimed at him. Seeing that other arrows managed to pass through, he quickly chanted his magic
“Ground Guard”
Swiftly moving his left hand forming a sphere then forming a grip he then chanted a magic that formed a shield like made from the dirt to protect him from the arrows. While the enemies were busy with the man, the dragon flew to the sky and inhaled air that made its stomach grew huge and it breathed a devastating flame-lightning roar that obliterated thousands of the legions to nothingness.
The legion losing half of its army already made them look like toys in front of the two figures.
Not till the man sensed a terrifying killing aura that made him quickly roll to the left just to get away from his location, a moment after, the ground was cut in half leaving lightning on its trail. The man looked at where it came from and what he sees was a figure of a demon holding a black dagger with a tri-horn on its head that he recognized as one of the 3 generals of the legion named Crinx.
“FOOLISH HUMAN!, just because you have the aid of an ancient dragon you arrogantly faced us the mighty legion just by yourself and that ugly old dragon!”
The man just grinned at the demon that was sneering at him while putting the bow on his back and swiftly equipping the black with crimson pattern dagger on each of his hands. The demon dashed towards the man quickly closing the gap in a mere second and stabbing the human standing before him. The man with its natural instinct quickly used the tip of its dagger to guard the upcoming stab of the demon and using the other dagger to slash but the demon uses its other hand to catch the dagger.
“Foolish human! You think these puny daggers of yours can harm me?”
The man just simply grinned and coldly muttered out some words
“Lightning Corkscrew”
“?!....”
The dagger on the right hand of the man was now embedded of pure crimson lightning twisting on the dagger that made a hole on the demons’ hand. The now shocked demon quickly back stepped far from the man gritting its teeth and roaring but the man immediately used a skill
“Lightning Phase”
Lightning started to form from the feet of the man until it fully covered his body with a crimson colored lightning, the demon felt strong killing aura on the man but managed to keep his facade.In a mere second, the man disappeared from the sight of the demon leaving only burnt ground and a little lightning sparks.The demon felt a cold shudder running through his body.
The man appeared at the back of the demon, crossing his hands while chanting and stabbing the dagger on the back of the demon,
“Distort Origins” – whispered coldly by the man
The demon feels a heavy pressure from the magic that the man chanted, this disturbs the soul link and the demon can’t control its own body. While the demon still can’t move, the man sheathed the daggers he hold and used the bow. Aiming at the demon’s chest,
“Lightning Airstream Shot”
The bow shined with the color of crimson and his whole body was covered with lightning. The wind surrounded the tip of the arrow until the lightning on his body also merges with the wind that was enchanting the arrow.
wwooooosssshhhhhhh!!*
bzzztt! bzzbzzztttt!!*
When the man fires his enchanted arrow, a huge transparent arrow of wind and lightning covers the enchanted arrow that made the straight path where he aimed and fired looked like it vanished.
The demon disappeared not because it evaded the shot but because it became one with the path that the man aimed, only burnt ground remained, even the legions that were on its path now turned to nothingness. The skill was so powerful that it made a hole on the wide mountain that was on its path.
While the man confirms that the demon general Crinx died, he immediately glanced at the dragon.
The dragon was fighting 2 generals of the demon legion, after confirming that the 2 generals were on the verge of dying. He raised his hand and in a mere second a lightning arrow formed on his hand and using his bow he aimed at the legions
“Lightning Web”
Series of lightning were spreading to the legions, every time a lightning hits an enemy it sends another lightning to the undead or demon that was closer to the enemy that received it until it forms a web of spider trapping and electrocuting every enemy that was within the web, hundreds of undead and demons died.
He dashed at the heart of the legion without losing his concentration, whenever the man aims at the undead or demons one after another, all arrow hits either on the head of an undead or on the heart of a demon. The man was very calm and was always smiling even though he was surrounded by many undead and demons. The man really loves to fight; this may be what they called BATTLE MANIACS.
He stopped at the center, chanted a magic that made him threw high to the air by using the air to form a spring like made of wind and chanted a skill while spinning and aiming to the legions below his feet
“Dance of Death”
He shoots crimson colored arrows to the legions and below the undead and demons appeared a crimson mist that was coming from his arrow, after the mist covers the whole area, a crimson colored huge magic circle below the mist formed,after the man flicked his finger the magic circle emitted a light and a lightning devours all those with mist to ash,while those that were close to the vicinity of the mist, those who were not on the magic circle trembled in fear.
Two figures were falling from the sky and those two were the generals that already died from the hands of the ancient dragon, the man glanced to the dragon and discovered the dragon has many marks of the battle with the 2 generals called Qilin and Uji just after the generals hit the ground. A strong tremor can be felt to the ground, a very heavy pressure emerged and a frightening aura that can make any strong paladins pee; unfortunately the man was a battle maniac while the ancient dragon has an unfathomable willpower.

kkkrrrkkkk*bzzzt* - The demon lord Ghena emerged from its slumber
Knowing that, the man shows a faint smile and you can almost feel that his eyes were burning for battle
Feeling the annihilation of his own legion, the demon lord chanted a spell
“Full Dark”
Dark aura can be seen going to the demon lord; the remaining legion armies lost all of their lives while the demon lord little by little became stronger every second, the man tried to attack the demon lord by using the skill Lightning Airstream Shot but failed and just made the demon lord stronger, it seems that the demon lord while still using the Full Dark spell will absorb every skill thrown to the demon lord. The man made a very big smile that almost reached from his ear to ear,
“I really don’t want this man to be my enemy”– thought by the dragon while looking at his companion
After the spell finished and the entire legion were absorbed, only 3 figures were left standing on the plains….. Silence was filled in the surroundings,not until the demon lord breaks the silence
“Human I’m impressed that you can defeat one of my generals, if you want to become my servant I will gladly let you alive, even though you have the help of an ancient dragon to defeat the 2 generals”
“Foolish demon lord he didn’t know the truth but my compa– ... No, my master just want to test my strength that’s why I have to be the one to battle the 2 generals”
The man just shrugged his arm; he bowed and grinned to the demon lord
“Sorry your highness, but I like fighting with stronger opponents than serve them and I don’t want to become one of your bony and smelly servants!”
……
………………..
“I really am lucky for making this man my master”– thought by the dragon, the dragon also remembered the time when he fight the man and lost miserably, and it sends chills to his back.
The demon lord was furious of what the man said to his legion and for being arrogant
“Puny Human! I will kill you and make you become the servant of my servants!!!”
The demon lord formed a huge black sword that looks like made from his aura and swings it on the dragon and the man forming a huge wave of black crisscross slash, the dragon swiftly evaded the slash by flying higher while the man just used his skill Lightning Phase to boost his speed and also evaded the slash coming to him easily.
The demon lord disappeared and appeared at the top of the dragon and slashed the dragon, surprised by the move the demon lord made, the dragon quickly used its wings to defend but still late for a mere second and falls under the attack the demon lord made and caused the dragon to fall. Recovering from the damage the demon lord dealt to him.The demon lord again chanted a spell while raising its log like arms and formed a black spear on its hand.
“Come to me Unholy Spirits! Destroy and eliminate these pests tainting our Unholy Land! “
“Dark Spear”
A very violent and huge spear was being formed and was ready to be thrown to the ancient dragon that was slightly bigger to the size of the dragon, feeling the huge power coming. The dragon closed its eyes preparing for the impact that - never came… opening his eyes for why it never came,
..
…..
What the dragon saw was a man covered of black miasmas on the right side of the stomach and a demon lord with a huge hole centering on its heart. The man was still faintly smiling and then looks to the dragon while giving thumbs up.
“Guess we defeated It.” – said by the man holding his bow downward.
The dragon until now doesn’t know what happened on that mere second, but all he could tell was the man saved his life, again…….
“And that is the story f–…..”
“Waaaahhhhhhh!!”– exclaimed by the kids that interrupted the old man that was stroking his long white beard
“I want to become like the hero!!!”
“Me too!!!”
“M-m-m-me t-t-t-tooo!!
While the kids were very loud because of the story
The old man who has a long white hair and a beard and a blue eyes that almost sparkles like clear water, realized that it’s time to deliver the kids home,
*Sigh*
“Okay kids, it’s getting dark so let’s pack our stuffs and also your parents are outside waiting for you”
“Yes master!”
A kid with a black messy hair realized that his master looks tired and always sighing.
“Master?are you okay? You look very tired.”
The master managed to show a smile to the kid while patting the head
“I’m okay don’t worry, go now your mom is waiting”
“Yes master!”
After the kids all went home the tired old man goes to the back of his house and transforms to a dragon, while flying to the highest mountains.The dragon saw a figure on the top of a mountain; it was an old man with half of its color is black waving at him. The dragon transforms back to its human form and stands by side to the other old man. Silence filled the air.
“…..”
“……………..”
“……………………”
“Guess I’m the first to go” said by the old man with crimson eyes
“……….”
“I’m too old now to live any longer and I also don’t have any enemy anymore to confront”
“…………………..”
“The world is too peaceful that the miasma, the demon lord placed to me started to sting“
“Do you hate this world that you created after conquering and defeating the base and the demon lord Ghena?”
“It’s not that I hate the world being peaceful, it’s just that I feel I don’t have a place here anymore”
“You can become a teacher like me to the young draconians and humans!”
“Naaaahh~... I may like to see little kids but, I’m not like you, battlefield is my home”
“……………………………..”
“Also I can feel that my life is going to--- cough!*….. see?”
“………………………………………..”
“Don’t make that face, I have fun this past days, also they said that heroes are tend to be reincarnated so, if I have a chance to be reincarnated I’ll still become myself and fight stronger opponents hahahaha”
“You really love fighting, even in your time of death huh…”
“………………….”
“Hey..you there?”
“……………………………..”
++++++++++++
“So my time was already up huh…”
I saw how my friend tried to smile and I smiled back, I saw how he don’t want me to show that he cried, I took my last breath and closed my tired eyes after a while I felt warmth all over my body, I can’t move my own body, it feels that my body is very heavy or just my body doesn’t have the strength, I don’t know why but when I tried to open my unfocused eyes I saw two figures that I think I saw before,It was humans, the woman that was smiling while crying and the man that is also smile and crying but has a runny nose that it looks funny. But they both have gentle smiles on their faces, after I adopted and understands what was happening, I assumed that I was resurrected and these are my parents and I remembered all the things in my previous life and the promise I made with my friend.
“My friend, I really am reincarnated”
