The silhouette that was muddled by intense cloud slowly reveal itself. Razgothor appears with a size of a two-storey building. The demon prince was as heavy and rhythmic as one must run away when a prince of demons makes its entrance.
A head of a deformed horned wolf, and a wing made of bones. Its torso is a slug-like body but plated in scales similar to a dragon's belly. It has no legs but has enormous four-burning arms parallel to a human.
"Ahh... The mortal world again." Razgothor says in a fiendish tone. "Yet it seems I had to open another door."
Hawk who was surprised by Akatosh's real identity wasn't ready for the second one when Amaragnum borrows his left body. He felt a very powerful magic and darkness linger on him.
"It's been ages since I fought a prince of demons."
Hawk who was silent couldn't speak a word grew more curious to the man at his side.
"What is this?" Razgothor calls. "Ah... the champion, it's been a while and who's this?"
"Raz..." Says Amaragnum, but using Akatosh's voice. "You've grown ever so pathetic, ever so frail."
"The infamous stillmage Amaragnum... Ever so feared but easy to manipulate, tell me how does it feel to be outcast, renegaded by your fellowship."
"A bit fun in a shit way, tell me how does a prince of demons ever so dreadful, ever so powerful to be cage-like a chicken. Humiliatingly imprisoned at the hands of a mere human. And you call yourself a prince of demons’ ruler of a thousand demon shit. You make me laugh for a demon whore."
"We'll see about that but, before we get to that--" Razgothor replies eying at Hawk.
"I have lived for a thousand years, and this time I'll end it. This time I'll full fill my role and be done with it."
"So, say." Razgothor replies slowly emitting a battle stance.
Before the three would begin their battle. It was in the afternoon when after Akatosh left the king, a special guest arrived at the kingdom. It was king Durvod Duhlgerlun of Thuram coming to fulfill Akatosh's aid.
"I didn't expect your arrival king Durvod. Isn't it a bit too late for you to attend your presence?"
"That's not the reason why I'm here, the basis of me coming to your kingdom is to fulfill a person's boon."
"And who's that person."
"I believe you already met him; I was informed that he'd done his part. And I would like to see the parchment that holds our agreement."
King Reigal went silent and commands his servants to retrieve the contract.
"I was well informed about the agreement. That it will only open only by the king of Thuram."
King Durvod smiles and waited for the servant to bring them the parchment. After a few minutes of waiting, the servant came and brought the scroll on the table allowing the dwarven king to unseal. Locked by a powerful mechanism and enhanced by magic all it took was the blood of King Durvod to properly unlock the scroll.
"It's blank!" The royal servant implores.
"Indeed..." says king Durvod. "In accordance to his word and my word. I was to help him convince the Endregar to fully deliver their full force."
"And that you were."
"But the second part needs authorization. And that agreement is to help with the construction of the bridge. We do know how this works as a king of different races and land. Anyway, I'll leave the decision to you it doesn't matter if you turn down our offer. You'll keep your honor, and will keep to our accord."
King Reigal went silent for he knew that king Durvod knows his dignity. A self-esteem dignity.
"As king of Keshoval, I king Reigal Arturos IV fully accept the kingdom of Thuram's proposition."
After that, a contract was then placed on the table, and after the two kings signed. King Reigal then implores before the dwarves would leave.
"Let me ask you something, are you fine of being maneuvered at one's person's hand?"
"It depends if it's good then it's acceptable, but if it's not then you know the answer. You did win the war, so why complain when we are all slaves to this land, we dwell in."
Just before they would return, a powerful convulsion shook the castle. And then came a guard, injured.
"My lord! The kingdom is under attack by demons!"
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Demons!"
"Yes!! but the Adventure's guild--"
Out of a sudden the guard burst, and what came was a high-ranking demon. The ones Akatosh had encounter. The inside roars into battle just as the demon begins summoning dozens of its kindred.
The heroes and royal guards quickly establish their position protecting the kings. The land rumbles once again and the kingdom was now a blazing battlefield as summoned demons are now fighting with the adventurer's guild.
Roland saw that the high demon was still unprepared took out his scared weapon and gave a powerful slash.
"Farenggar..." The demon says while chopped in half. "But it seems it's gotten weaker."
After delivering a lightning attack, Roland spins his sword giving a shocking blast disintegrating the demon.
"Tsk-Tsk... That won't do for my life is not mine but to my master." The demon says, just as he again revives in a hurl of twisting fire. "Now, shall we do it again while waiting for my master's return."
Just as the two kings manage to escape, king Durvod then spoke.
"It seems your kingdom is in a dire situation if perhaps an aid would be more welcome."
"Please."
King Durvod nods to his human mage, unleashing a powerful phantasm spell. It teleports Thuram’s best fighters.
As for the Hawk and the travelers, Razgothor was now erupting his long-caged power. Hawk, who now wields the three artifacts make the first move just as when Razgothor summons ten purple orbs dangling at his back. Changing the dimension's perspective, the whole place turns into a land of his realm.
Razgothor steps for a rampage felt Hawk's true power. Time suddenly stops yet he can see him running to make an attack.
"The river of time... You've gone pretty feeble, champion."
Hawk ignores his words and delivers a blow to the demon's chest. The dagger pierces, but it wasn't enough to vanquish the demon for he wasn't the master and he was now too weak.
The toll of his last battle with the demon rises, unable to withstand the pain cuts off the flow of time.
"Calamity reaper!" Says the travelers ready to create chaos.
Right after they change the trajectory of the dimension. The travelers’ dashes to hammering the razor whip. Enhanced by Amaragnum, the whip was now blazing in dark energy. Shredding the demon's wing, it tore a quarter of its left wing. Yet the demon was able to ricochet their attack when it draws two massive swords.
Using the ring, Hawk burst his magical energy allowing him to become different.
The realm of Razgothor was now rumbling in calamity, earthquakes, meteors, thunder, and lightning are all fusing into one powerful destructive force.
Consuming all the orbs, Razgothor morphs into a more intimidating demon. His head was now burning, the slug-like torse changes in a form of a snake but scaled in dragon. The pure bones were now fleshed in purple fire. It even grew bigger, enough to top a dragon's height.
"Enough of these games..." Razgothor implores trying to fracture the dimension.
But Hawk's combining the three artifacts and himself manage to suppress the demon's power.
Meteors showers the demon, but the current form of the prince was able to counter it. Since it was only the size of a car, Razgothor was able to disintegrate by waving his mighty sword. Even the lightning wasn't affecting the prince of demons.
Fighting a humongous demon isn't what Akatosh would imagine. He was more like a normal man fighting a ten-meter bulldozer with a machinegun and laser guiding missile installed.
The travelers, engaged once again this time they engaged at long-ranged attack. Creating four orbs representing the four elementals, the travelers quickly fused them into one and at the same time compressed the massive energy for a blast. Their surroundings shatter, the rumbling lightning now striking at their location. The earth vibrates so was the atmosphere around them turns into gravity.
The dimension they linger started to crumble as it won't hold their massive power. From the material realm, all of the adventurers and people, and soldiers felt a strong tension. They could feel the now distorted atmosphere lingering throughout the kingdom.
After compressing the fused elementals, Amaragnum's dark material emerges like a symbiotic. He opens its mouth wide open and ate the compressed energy. Akatosh felt his body rumbling with magical energy, and Amaragnum was now part of his completely merging.
Razgothor swings his blades towards the travelers creating a massive cataclysmic projectile.
Hammering the traveler's palm on the ground creates another cataclysm effect distorting the demon's attack. Razgothor felt Hawk's presence disappear which made him lower his guard. Then without a second, a large hand made of rocks grip the demon. It was the travelers, who were taking another spell. The foul sky swirls at the demon prince seconds later, a rain of acids pours through the demon.
The prince roars in pain from the squishing grip of the earth and the raining acid from above. It roars so heavily that it creates a big bang on its surroundings crumbling the large hand and warping the skies. Weakened for a small-time Hawk emerged in a dark form and with his mustered strength and power. Hawk plunges his arms at the demon's chest. After doing so, he injects his goddess's power into the demon, poisoning it.
The blazing wings begin to extinguish, its body was now turning into black charcoal.
"Not yet..."
Hawk's final attack made light at the end of the tunnel. And just as he hoped they would reach the end of the conclusion; he felt a lingering disturbance. The crack of his dimension gave a path to the lingering souls of the dead from the war and today's battle. He tried to destroy the funneled souls going towards the demon prince but his power was now gone. His body was now disappearing and with only a few bursts of his last remaining power would end him forever.
When a thousand souls were absorbed by the demon prince. It gave extreme energy returning to its former power and erasing Mezura's poison. Hope was now at a loss and the Hawk's dimension started to shatter.
"What now, got any tricks?" Akatosh implores his partner.
"Well... I got something just for you, and I do hope you're ready."
"Bring it on!"
Agreed, the stillmage unleashes the beast within. The traveler's body suddenly embroils, dark essence begins to surround him. And just as the Razgothor reached its ultimate power. The travelers were making another commotion when a powerful dark tornado ruptures the land. After it dissipated, there came a large and powerful shadow dragon.
Before the battle of the behemoth, the battle at Keshoval dwindles. Through the help of Thuram, the powerful adventurers and the priestess of Endregar came to help the heroes. At this moment Chifya and Ashalain were side by side fighting the demons.
Having exterminated all the demons, the kingdom is now facing the two servants of Razgothor. Immortals, the priestess of Endregar only manages to put a barrier so was the adventurer’s guild. The only thing they could do is to find out how to end the immortal demon. But when they felt the atmosphere change, the two demons smile for their master arrives.
And at that moment, the sky burst into chaos. The spell 'Calamity Reaper' was diverted into the material realm. On the ground, the side of the castle ruptures, and there come two colossal beasts destroying each other.
