Khan Law Delord

The First Mountain, The great Ice barrier YR94

The nights were long, the snow storm was violent, and endless snow just piled everywhere. Khan decided to take on the conquest of retrieving gold from the dragons up in this towering mountain to help a young girl family in need of a new life. Normally he could just fly over the mountain or use his gold for himself to cross over the ice barrier to the human kingdom, but for the sake of the girl and promise to his mother he needed the gold. The promise with his mother he’s not allowed to use any magic that he was advance with once he reached the frontier so he could experience the life of a normal human/student.

The magic he was highly advanced in consisted of gravity magic, shadow magic, wind magic, and nature magic. This made him a little sad when he was told this because he wanted to see how his magic compared to others as he never met any other magic users beside his parents and their friends, but they never used magic in front of him so he had to learn through books and experience he accumulated himself. His parents did teach him two spells, one for each parents of their choosing. The problem is that they weren’t really useable to him as they’re not spells he would use commonly.

The first was a soul binding spell for marriage by his mother because the whole goal for him was to bring back wife and grandkids for her. The soul binding spell enables to bind two people souls as if they were connected by chains. This was an important spell for the mother as she was almost assassinated a few times by demons that were in rage about the deal between his parents to stop the invasion against the humans. This spells allow the spell caster to send mana directly to the other person, teleport that person to him/her, and enable the person to not be able to die with increased natural healing abilities or age beyond the age of the spell caster soul. The only way to cancel this spell is by the spell caster himself, he dies, or the person cheats on him with another soul or become hostile and tried to harm the soul of the spell caster, but the repercussion is that the person will die painful for breaking such a powerful bond.  The penalty is that the spell caster actively uses 10% of his mana to hold the chain between the two souls.

The second spell was taught by his father, which was holy wing. His father told him he used this spell to deceive people into thinking he was an adventurer that was chosen by god as only high ranking members of the church can use this spell; the higher your holy magic the closer you are to god as stated by the holy church. It’s a high level defensive holy magic that uses the wings to protect you from harm, but can’t be used to fly without wind magic and gravity magic. The problem with this spell for Khan is that his mastery in holy magic is low so the only skill he can use is basic heals. As long as you have high mastery in magic in general with the combination of a great teacher, or spell tome then you can easily learn magic at the same level of your general magic mastery. The drawback from not having a high level of mastery in holy magic for khan is the spell is considerably weaker and the consumption of magic is extremely high depending on your holy mastery level. You can reduce the penalties by either increasing your general magic mastery, or increase your holy magic mastery, which is quicker of course. Khan asked his father why he needs to deceive people into thinking he was either chosen by god or a follower of the holy church his father would say the same thing he always does, which is that there’s humans that want to kill his mother so he has to protect himself from being taken advantage of from spies to protect his mother.

The thing that even confused him more about this situation was that why does his father always state humans as if they were a different race from him and his father. His father looks human, his friends look human, everyone he’s met in association with his father was human, and his mother is human. Even his mother refers his father as a human, but his father constantly says we have to kill the humans to protect his mother. His mom says the opposite of what his father says and that is to get along with the human kingdom and befriends with them. Marry their girls and bring back grandkids. His father taught him about hate, war, and killing humans while his mother taught him about love, peace, and saving and befriending humans. They both sent him to the largest and prestigious academy in the human kingdom with the idea of him understanding their culture, way of life, and any other information he can get about them to either befriend them (his mother) or kill them (his father).

Khan continues up the mountain at high speed while using nature magic skill [detect] to look for any life force that might be the dragons, wind magic [haste] to increase his speed, Fire magic [Warmth] low level fire magic spell to increase body heat and surround temperature of the person, and wind magic [Calm], which reduces the wind around a certain area. Even though he wasn’t supposed to use any of those magic as the agreement with his mother, but he felt that it because he was up against the mighty dragons he shouldn’t be taking his chances as he is already taking enough risk by even going against them to take their gold that they stole from other people.

Khan kept running and running through the mountain, but there was no end to the snow. If he could he would use his flight magic, but the cost to use it is very high because of the level of mastery required so the cost alone to cast the spell is high, but you have to actively spend mana to keep the magic activated. Not only that, but the more spells you have active will increase the cost of your other spells too as you have to maintain all of them.  He can’t use too much mana because he doesn’t want to have no mana when he needs it to battle against the mighty dragons.  

After another hour of running Khan finally picks up a presence and runs toward it. There he feels the presence of 6 people within the large cave. He cautiously walks into the cave and as the further he walked into the cave the smell of smoke becomes stronger. He finds the source of the smoke after walking for 3 minutes and found 6 men holding each other in pairs in front of a small fire. Khan is in shock as what is to think about this situation as it is something that he never seen in his life or heard from his parents. One of the men saw khan and quickly jumped up while he’s still butt naked with his junk dangling from the sudden movement and yelled

“THIS IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS”

The other men in shocked at the man screaming looked toward khan and was in disbelief that someone caught them embracing each for warmth to survive from the cold. Khan not wanting to be a part of this ran out of the cave and pretend he didn’t see the naked men embracing each other in the cave and continue on to his quest of retrieving gold for the young girl family.

As he continued to run he picks up the presence of a horde of large creatures from his [detect] skill. As he gets closer to the horde of creatures he notices that they’re marching toward a direction and that one of them was much stronger than the rest. When he gets into view of the creatures he notices that they were large ice trolls. The ice trolls skin were blue with ugly faces and two large fangs coming from the ice trolls mouth.  They had ice spikes coming from their back with a piece of cloth to cover their bottom half. In each of their hands they have massive clubs and the leader carried a giant spear. They spot Khan from the distance and start marching toward him and the ice troll who seems to be the leader with his giant spear takes a step forward to get a better look at the unmoving khan who just staring at the ice trolls army without any hint of fear on his face.

“Sometime it’s just better to walk away” Khan says at the ice troll leader continuing to stand his ground in front of the ice trolls.

“HAUAHUAHAUAHUA FOOLISH HUMAN LET ME TELL YOU, THAT YEW THE FAOLISH ONE. I WILL EAT YOU HUMAN!” the troll leader laugh hysterically at Khan

“HAUHUAHAHUA!” troll #1 joins the leader in laugher

“BOSS YOU FANNY BOSS HUAHAUA!” troll #2 says to the boss while laughing

Khan closes his eyes he slowly breaths in, then slow breaths out, when he opens his eyes his body disappear.

The ice troll leader is in confusion as he couldn’t understand how the boy just vanished. He looks to the right he doesn’t see anything, but endless snow. He looks to the left and he saw troll 1# and troll #2 ugly faces, but the boy wasn’t there too. He looks behind him and half his little army had black spears in their body before anyone was able to notice.

Khan had launched shadow spears into their body from behind instantly killing the ice trolls before they can utter a word. He then jumps over the dead ice trolls on to the other half of the army and landing right in the middle of them causing a shockwave pushing the army away from him leaving space between khan and the ice trolls. Out of the ground roots comes flying out and grabbling on to all of the ice trolls rendering them unable to move. One of the ice troll panics and starts screaming, trying to break free from the entanglement of the roots. Khan looks viciously at the ice troll and a shadow spear forms and stabs into the struggling ice troll, instantly ending his life.

“quiet” khan says calmly to the ice trolls. The ice trolls stare in disbelief at khan and didn’t dare to make a sound.

“Tell me, if you want to live; where is the Dragon liar?” khan demanded. None of the ice trolls says anything to khan. Suddenly khan shadow picks itself up from the ground and stands next to khan. Then replacing the shadow is another shadow that is in the shape of a circle surrounding khan. As no one dares to utter a word the shadow keeps expanding outward in all direction. As the shadow reached its first few victims a shadow figure comes out whenever it touches an ice troll and grabs on to them and starts pulling them down into the shadow. The ice trolls start to panic and struggle furiously to break free from the roots to get away, but fail to do so and is sucked into the shadow. Breaking out of the fear the ice troll leader realizes that this is an enemy that he can’t handle.

“WAIT I TALL YEW WHERE DRAGAAN IS. NARTHEAST BEG HEDDEN CEVEARN!” the ice troll leader screams at khan in fear. Khan shadow and roots retracts until completely disappearing and his shadow goes back into its original place as khan’s shadow.  Khan walks away from the ice trolls and continue northeast toward the hidden ice cavern.

Shiro POV

Hidden Ice Cavern, The great barrier YR94

Shiro continues to walk deep into the ice cavern, ready to face her brother and mother. She transform into her dragon form, which is half the size of an ancient dragon as she is still a young dragon that just finished her flight and breathe training. Her hard scale on her body and wings are the same color as her snow white hair. She still has the beautiful baby blue eyes along with white baby dragon horns. Shiro was different from most dragons as they were usually blue or green within the great ice barrier. Her affinity for magic was much higher than most dragons, which gave her the abilities to transform into her human form. As Shiro approach the main chambers there stood two dragons. The first one was about the same size as her and had blue scale with black eyes, the same as the other dragon next to it. The only difference was the size in their body and the development of the horns. The smaller dragon her brother had baby horns just like Shiro, but her mother had large pointy horns.

“Shiro you are weak for a dragon and enjoy being in the weak human form than the proud dragon that you should be.” Shiro mother viciously says to Shiro. Shiro doesn’t say anything and just looks coldly back at her mother.

“Mother let me handle this weak wretch before I fly off to destroy the human village.” The dragon says while saying at Shiro with his crazy eye. Before the Shiro mother says anything he jumps at Shiro grabbing on to her body with both his razor sharp claws and bites into her neck.

“HAHAHAHAHA YOU WRETCH!”

He laughs hysterically at the life-threatening damage he inflicted on his sister and flies out of the cave to assault the human village below the mountain known as the frontier.

Shiro laid there slowly dying. Her mother looks at her with her cold black eyes and walks away to the inner chamber.

-Note from author (For those who are still confused this basically means that his parents hid the fact that his father is the Demon Lord and they hide every trace of it. His father still hates the human, but can’t do anything to them as he promised his wife in return for her love. He’s basically using his son to destroy or conquer the human for him, but his son doesn’t even know that he’s the Demon Prince as they say nothing about it to him. His father lies to his son stating that he has to skill the humans to protect his mother from being assassinated, which is false as no one knows she exist in the human kingdom as the Demon Lord wife.)- I can remove this note if people feel that it isn’t needed
