The hero slumped to his knees, using his large sword to hold himself upright. He held his hand clutched tight to his chest, blood dripping endlessly from the grievous wound.
His eyes were drawn upwards, looking at the powerful figure before him. A young man much like himself covered from his shoulder down in a dangerous looking spiked armor. The dangerous looking figure was none other than the infamous Demon King Izukai himself.
The hero grinned, noticing the demon lord too, was injured. The fight had been lengthy, the surroundings had been completely annihilated and even now there was no clear victor to the furious battle.
They both sat in silence for a while, exchanging glares, before the demon spoke up.
"Heh.. you bastard Kaden.." He coughed, trickles of grey blood dripping from his mouth.
"Without your.. without your weakling followers.. you're nothing!" He shouted, struggling to his feet.
Kaden cursed to himself, he cursed himself for not being able to stand, and he cursed himself for telling his friends to stay behind. The demon stood, his pitch black armor crumbling to dust as he made his way over to the helpless hero.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"I will show you.. with the last of my power.. how it feels to be truly weak." Izukai spoke in a hushed tone, shakily holding out a finger and pressing it to a wound on the hero's forehead. In his condition, Kaden shouldn't even be conscious, let alone stop the demon pressing into the cut.
"G-..get away from me.." He spoke through gritted teeth as a sharp pain wracked his mind.
The white-haired demon ignored him and spoke. "Turn to dust.."
At these words, Kaden's eyes closed, his whole body losing the tiny amount of strength it was so desperate to cling to, and he fell into unconsciousness.
