___________________________________________________________________________

More and more demons are appearing as we are approaching the throne room. They are waving their blades in order to slaughter us, but they are so slow for us that we only need to kill them before they can notice it.

One of them tries to slice me with his blade, while others four shoot me arrows from my right and other eight soldiers are approaching me from my left. Really?_ this guys are only wasting my time_ I DON’T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH YOU!!!

As son as I wave my blade, one blow cut to the half of those fools_ oh_ it appears that I had also killed a few more enemies of what I had anticipated_ well it can´t be help.

“So_Do you still wish to fight against me?” I ask to the few survivors with a penetrating leek that can even intimidate a dragon, I know that because I have already checked it.

The demons make a sound of fear and start to scream and shake of terror_ Ah? I can even see some of them crying. Why are you doing that? Aren’t you supposed to be elite soldiers? And so, as well as they appear from nowhere in order to ambush us they start to retreat and run for their lifes like a bunch of fools and cowards. Well I cannot judge them, after all, even if they were more than one hundred of emperial guards against only seven people_ they were fighting against us_ Seven warriors of the heros’ army.

As we see that there is not going to be any more ambush we return to our road towards the throne, in where the enemy of the whole world is waiting for us for be murdered by our hands. The one who attacked to the whole world, the one who destroyed innumerables countries and kingdoms, the one who ordered to the demons to kill more than one quart part of the world’s population, the one_ who is responsable for the deaths of all my comrades and_ my family, The Demon Lord.

“But to think that they prepared an ambush for us, is the Demon Lord such weak that he don’t want us near him?” asks the lynx demi-human, Riddick, alias ‘The Red Dawn’. He is a Little tall, have a pelage of color brown, a big tail and he is holding his White arch in his right hand and in his back, he has three compartment of arrows.

“I don’t think that. He is maybe seeing our level of power” answers the fairy, Sam, alias ‘The Beauty of the North’, while she is enduring herself with her spear and trying to recover the respiration. She is of a promedium height, has the hair White and of course a pair of thin wings.

““Yeah____ don’t be an idiot and relaxe so early”” declares the others two humans ,apart from me, at the same time with a joker voice. Mohamet, alias ‘The Impenetrable Wall’, while is putting aside his heavy shield and Alick, alias ‘The Two Faces of Death’ while guard his blades in his sheath. Both of them are brothers, Mohamet is the older one but is a Little more short than Alick. Both of them have gray hair.

“Muu-! I already know that! Both of you, please stop bullying me! Hey_ Alexander-san, please tell these two to already stop doing that!” said Riddick.

“Ah?_____ I personally don’t care about what they are doing to you, in fact is a bit fun” declares an enormous and green figure of almost three meters of height, with a lot of tattos and horns around his body. He is an ogre of the mountains, Alexander, alias ‘The Devourer of Skulls’. When we were fighting just a few minutes ago, he were fighting with only his hands and without use his axe, that still remain in his ammunition belt.

“Damned you-!” says Riddick

“Hey_____ the quartette of there, please stop playing around” declare a small girl with a neglecting voice. She is an elf of the forest, Elizabeth, alias ‘The Genius of the Skies’. Despite of her young appearance and her thin arms she have already 175 years old, which means she is older than anyone of us, that only have between eighteen and twenty years old. In the South countries she is recognized as the most powerful magician.

“”””Please don’t agroup me with these people!”””” shout the four of them at the same. Only me and Sam reserve ourself to guard silence.

“What ever____ So? How long does it rest to arrive to the throne room, Sebastian-kun?” Elizabeth ask me.

“Yes! The throne room must be just two more rooms before us” I answer. My complete name is Sebastian Berthrod, alias ‘The Holy Warrior’ and I’m a human. If I have to describe myself in one word, I would say “normal”, of course, that just the outside. Actually, I am stronger than Alexander, faster than Sam, even when she is flying, I am at same level of Mohamet’s defence, but I’m not rival for Elizabeth’s magic level, but I am definitly far intelligent than Riddick, Mohamet and Alick, together.

By the way, we are all wearing brights armors with images of red crosses, Of course the design of the armor vary for person.

I know that the throne room is before us thanks to a map of the demon lord’s castle that I memorized just after killed a demon soldier and took it from his corpse.

Well_even if I say castle is more like a labyrinth, with guards, monsters, traps and dead ends. And so it took me a whole week memorize the map. But unfortunatly the map doesn´t say where are the traps, guards and monsters, so we have been fighting all day. There was also a main road that is shorter of course, but it will be stupid that after all we had passed we had been killed by enter in a fortress without a plan.

So we go for the largest way but with less posibilities of been detected. In fact, that we had found an ambush was only because Mohamet had enter in the guards’ trap when he was attrached by the food smell. I turn my face to see him and see that he is eating some kind of chiken of six legs.

We continue our way towards the throne room, until we finally found a big black door with images of monsters, demons, an angel and others scrawls that I don´t understand.

“Everyone! Drink your poitons of recovering stamina and health. Elizabeth, please cast support magic of attack, deffence and speed in all of us” I shouted to everyone.

“””yes!””” everyone nod to my orders.

Did I forget to mention it? I’m the captain of the hero´s army, or at least of the ones that are still alive. The pain begin to filling my hearth. All those lifes, all those people, all those kingdoms, all my brothers in arms and______ my family______ I will revenge them___________ I WILL REVENGE THEM NOW!!!

                    ________________________________________________

It happened just five years ago, when I had thirteen years old. In that time I was living in the Endixa village, in the Lingia Kingdom, with my father and mother. We were just simples farmers and despite our lives were hards, they were also confortables.

All the days in the village was the same rutine. I waken up at  six o’clock at morning and begun to feed the animals and collected the seed-corn, after that I gone to the village´s market in order to buy food and exchange our goods for money and in the afternoon I returned to the farm to help my father. In conclusión it was a good life.

Until they arrived.

One day, the whole sky was covered by black cloudes, the most dark and horribles clouds that I had never seen. Suddenly, a great hole was opened from that cloud and from it noisies thunders began to smash the village. Numerous houses and buildings were inmediatly destroyed or they went up in flames. But the next that get out from the hole, was even worst. A whole army of black monsters with wings like bats, fangs and claws of Steel, dark armors and weapons that made them looked even more terrifying of what they already were____ they were demons.

After my father reacted he inmediatly took my hand and led me to my home. When we arrived he sharply open the door with a kick. He began to search for my mom, who was in the kitchen. He took both of us to the granary in order that we could refuge there. After see that we both were safe, he took a trident and leave the granary. That was the last time that I saw my father.

While we were hidden in the granary, I apprached to one of the walls that I know had a small hole, I used it in order to see outside of the granary____ and then, I saw how  my people were killed. When the demons began to descend towards the village and attacked to all the villagers, women and children. It took around five minutes since the attack began, to that the soldiers could be ready and armed in order to fight against the demons. But, for desgrace, it was uselless against the demons army. They were far superior to our village’s soldiers by number and power. And of that form the soldiers started to became the food of those demons.

Even when the things were already very bad it doesn’t was enough for those monsters.

The sound of animals shouting and approaching was Heard arriving by  the south side of the village, I moved to the other side of the Wall in order to see what was happening. And there, was an army of demon soldiers protected by full  body armors, spears and flags with the image of a demon’s face. All of thems riding horribles creatures that looks just like a mix of a bull, a lion and a horse. They charged towards the village, destroying and sent on fire all the buildings and slaughtered to the remains soldiers and villagers.

After ten minutes of terrifying deaths, murders and praying of their lives___ there weren’t any sound or survivor, except my mother and I.

Some of the demons started to inspect the area for people hidden. I was able to saw that one of them was approaching. I instinctively tried to not even breath. The soldier passed away, withour dettecting us. I breathed again____ that was the most terrifying momento I had ever experienced. I stood up in order to approach to my mother.  But_____

Puff-!

Just when I stood up, I accidentaly beat my head with a metal keg that suddenly fall to the ground and gave our position to the demons.

I began to hear foots steps approaching. I was really scared, that was my sure death__ if it wasn´t for my mother. She pushed me away and hide me into the Straw and said to not made any single sound. She then took a broom  and move in front of the granary’s door.

Smash_!

One of the granary’s door was suddenly destroyed by an explosión, provacated by one of the demons’ magician. My mother moved to attacked them with her broom. She beated one of the demons in his face. “Yeah Mom! You can do it!” I began to think in the bottom of my heart. But she couldn’t.

Stolen novel; please report.

After beat the soldier, the magician used his cane and___ evaporized my mother.

“No___it can’t be____ it cant be true!_____ mother!_____ father!_______ everyone!______ IT CAN’T BE TRUE!!!”  I tried to comvince myself about what had happen in front of me wasn´t true, just a simple illusion or a dream. I began to cried and the tears covered all my face, but I didn’t make any single sound, just as my mother had asked me.

Two days later a soldier group of the Lingia Kingdom arrived to the town. In all that time I didn’t leave the granary. The soldiers took me out of the destroyed building, gave me food and wáter and then they asked about what had happened. After I told them all that I remembered they took me to the kingdom’s capital.

In the road I heard the soldier’s conversations about others village and kingdoms that had been attacked by the demons. “So don’t only me___ You bastards also want to kill everyone else!?” I shouted to the sky. All the soldiers saw me with sadness and comprehention.

That day I swore to myself that I will revenge to my village. Even if I am tortured, even if the only thing left of me, are my bones___ I WILL REVENGE THEM ALL!!!

There wasn’t any life loss for the World United Army

Since the whole world united force, the church took soldiers, mercenaries and survivors of the whole world and the nations destroyed, in order to form an elite squadron.

After I leaved the Lingia kingdom and scape the farest countries some parsons take me to the church, where I met more people that had experienced the same or worst things than me in the demons’hands. They offered to all of us the oportunite of take revenge. Not only me, if not also all the people there accepted. And more and more people of the falls kingdoms were arriving.

For three years my comrades and I studied the arts of the fight, magic, war strategies, survivors forms and a lot of things with the best teachers and intellectuals. After all those years we were named ‘Heroes’ Army’.

When the demons’army had arrived to the church territory, we recieved the instructions of attack to the demons and protect our new home and God. We all advanced until we found the enemy’s army of three thousand demons, and behind them was the Cracna fortress that was taken almost three years before. But we weren’t afraid, we were proud to be the God’s soldiers and we showed with pride our flag with the image of a cross  girded by blades.

With our power that had been increased in three years of infernal training, our squadron attacked and destroyed the enemy’s vanguard. Some mermaids and fish demi-humans were attacking by the river with archs and arrows, killing to numerous enemies. In the sky dragons, magician, bird demi-humans and masters of flying beasts descended and broke the enemy defence and their bodies. By other hand the centaurs, minotaurs, elfs, dwarf, ogres, demi-humans of all species, master of earth beasts and humans (including me) attacked directly to the enemy.

When we had arrived to the fortress gate, I used one martial art ability that I had been developed in all those years. I focused my will into the blade, next I let went out a small quantity of my magic in order to this wraped my blade, finally let my blade drank a little of it and___”Holy Slash!” I shouted to the sky as I waved my blade and   after that___ the fortress’ Wall was destroyed by a white and large wave that had been generated by my blade. It was our victory. We all cried of happiness after that, it wasn’t only our first victory, if not the first victory against the demons. In the whole world the new that the World United Army had its first victory was announced.

After that success, my comrades and I began to liberate and recover all the Kingdoms. It took almost two years to recover all the kingdoms, but we did it, but in the process____ the middle of our squadron had died, but we didn’t discouraged by that, on the contrary, that gave us one more reason to fight against the demons. And so, we enter in the demon’s kingdom.

After some weeks of ambushes, surprise attacks and fights, our number was reduced to only seven of us. Even the strongest of us, our captain, the rhino demi-human Steve, alias ‘The Monk of the River’, died two days ago. When we were about to lost our courage we found a group of demons soldiers of a demon duque with a map that had the ubication and the passages of the Demon Lord’s Castle.

                     ________________________________________________

And here we are, in front of the Demon Lord’s throne room. Behind this door is the most powerful and cruel being in the whole world. But we are ready to fight against him. We will revenge our comrades, we will revenge our people and___ we wil revenge our family!

That’s it, this isn’t only about me, all of us have open questions with this guy and there is also all the kingdoms that he have destroyed.

I see to my comrades, thinking that this can be the last time I see them, but I’m not affraid, neither are they.

“Okey! Let’s go to kill that guy!” I shout them.

“Yeah-!” all of them answer.

I only touch the dark door and it open by itself. The open door reveal a room with some candelebras, paints, a long red rug and some demons guards. And at the end of this room we can found a man with a red and dark armor, with two horns in his head, the one that is covered by a dark helmet, large bats wings and with a dark scythe in his right hand. So this is the Demon Lord.

“Oh__ so you have finally arrive” He said with a penetratring and scary voice that is far superior to my leek and he is also showing us a dark aura that express bloodlust.

Despite we were teached by three monks to see the auras and liberete them in order to have more streng, we needed three to use it perfectly and thing that this guy can also use his aura say us that he have trained by a long time and the worst is that we have never seen one aura like this. Is very powerful and evil.

He is wearing a black armor that make him looks just like black angel, he had enormous bats wings, just as the majority of the demons, he also had a dark scythe being holding in his right hand, but his left hand is considerately bigger tan the other one.

The guards take their weapons in order to attack us, but___

“Guards____ leave the room. I will fight with them by myself” declared the Demon Lord.

Damn you! Don’t subestimate us!

“But your majesty___ Ugh!” Before one of the soldier can finish speak___ he is decapitate by the Demon Lord’s scythe.

“Leave this room___ NOW!!!” As soon as he shoted all the guards leave the room.

“…….”

Now the only ones remain here are the eight of us.

“Now, don’t worry about use your whole power here. Please don’y hold back. This room have a special magic that will evite that all the damage and magic effects scape from here. So we can all fight seriously” declared the Demon Lord.

Alick, Alexander and I grasp our weapons and see to the enemy. Behind us Mohamet take his shield and posisionate to our right, One can think “what about the shield” well, if I have to said it, is beacause he have never lost a fight when he use his shield. Sam grasps her spear and take on the flight. While Elizabeth and Riddick protect themself behind us in order to give us support. We all liberate our auras and this incrementate our power three times. Now we don’t have to worry about control our power, even if what he say isn’t true. We don’t care anymore. We don’t care if in the process we destroy all the castle or even the kingdom. WE JUST WANT TO KILL HIM!!!

“So___ ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT?!” ask the Demon Lord with his dark aura.

And so the fight between the last seven warriors of the ‘Heros’army’ and the supreme being, the Demon Lord begin.
