《A Demon Lord NEED HELP!》 Prologue Prologue An angel. That''s what I can describe about her appearance. "Angel" is the most suitable word for her that I can think of, maybe there is other words, but for me that is the most suitableword for her. Her skin is so white that onlookers might think that she is made up of porcelain, adding up with her black hair which is floating around creating a refraction of light, she gave out an aura of pureness. If I don''t know her identity I might think that she is an angel who fall here to give me hope.Her face seems to be carved by a genius sculptor, and her ruby-like eyes isshining with crimson glow. But the expression that she wore isemotionless. With a perfect bone structure which made that flawless face, I, can see it, the emptiness that shown through her face. With her large greatsword that adorn by seemingly arranged silver ornament, she swings by all her might,cutting all the enemies surrounding her. Blood spurting around like a carnival, but there''s not even one speck of it that dropped to her shining armor. She swing and stab with vigor without any hint of tiredness, like a machine that is told to kill. There''s nothing that can stop her, not even the which is blessed by the ultimate defense. With only one swing she cut-half the , Zog. [..................] A dark feeling sprout inside of me. But that will not stop her. She keep killing the enemies around her. Without any remorse and hesitation, she cut them. [...................] After every of them is annihilated, she finally stop. She stab her greatsword deep into the floor beneath her and looks up to the hole on the ceilingthat made by her magic from before, and slowly a ray of light covered her whole body, even the spirit of this world loved her. But on her eyes, there''s nothing changed, no joy, no sadness and there''s not even a feeling of achievement. It''s like she know this is how it meant to be, this is how it will end. That is not arrogance, but the reality that she knows. After a few seconds, she takes a deep breath. [....................] Her face which is void of emotion, change to shyness. Her face which is almost white without any hint of blood, finally showsa bluish red.Her mouth trembles withjoy. She lowered her head, and slowly turning herfacetome. [......................] Slowly she lift her head up and looks at me lovingly with a sense of gentleness. But I saw it. In her eyes.The feeling that can only be detected and seen by me.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. [I¡¯m here.] When her voice came out from her vocal chord, most people probably would wondering if there is a Siren singing. A voice which will charm both gender in an instant. [.¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..] Without any response, I look into her eyes. Without knowing it, I also been entrance by her ruby eyes. [My lo-] [ULTIMATE SKILL, ANNIHILATION!] I hold both of my arms instantly while facing her, with my palms wide open. And in an instant Ifire-off my , Annihilation. A skill which will instantly erase a large country easily. A skill that made every human feared me. A skill that can cause the balance of this world to be thrown off. And I the one who fired this skill is an irregular existence in this world who can dominate it easily.I instinctively fired it. A dark menacing beam fired off from my palm, a dark beam which should be able to clear anything from it''s path. But. [Geez...Finral, that''s bad!] [.................] My dark beam which supposed to make the existence in front of me gonefrom this world....had been repelled. With her greatsword she made asimpleupper-cut with it. My beam which supposed to fired straight is cut off. But my face doesn''t show any surprise. Because I too had in fact know how it will end, how it meant to be. I, who is called the ,Dante,the one who sitting on the most terrifying throne know. Because I am her.... [My lover!] With all the happiness that shown on her face and a bit of shyness, she called me. I know who she is. I know what she wants. I know everything about her, and... she knows everything about me. She is. [GO AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!] [No! You think you can run from me, Finral? I am the here!] With all the strength on my feet, I activated my flying magic and go through the hole on the castle''s ceiling. My speed is something that can¡¯t even be compared on how light traveled. But. [Hehe....It''s beena long time since we are togetherright?] [Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!] Behind me, she kept smiling bashfully. Her eyes,sparklinglike a maiden who has fallen in love for the first time,arelookingat me. But Iknow. I KNOW. Whatishidden behind those eyes. Those pure eyes. I KNOW WHAT IS HIDDEN BEHIND THEM. [Come on now.....stop it already okay? I want to be alone with you now.] With a speed that surpass mine, she appeared instantly in front of me and grab my hand. [H-hum...i-it''s been long since I touch you Finral.] [...................] I know I can''t run. But every part of my body told me to run, they all scream of survival. Yet I can''t stop her, I can''t do anything to her. Because. [Hehe, it''s time to have our romantic momentafter a long time.] I love her too much. Spoiler: Spoiler Chapter 1 Chapter 1 My head¡­. what is this dizziness. Slowly, I lift my eyelids up and saw the scenery around me. A dark rocky surrounding. With an eerie atmosphere with it, I am probably in a dark cave. I was lying on a hard rocky floor before my consciousness came back to me. [Where¡­.the heck is this?] Looking around the surrounding, I can only see dark-blue rock which is randomly arranged to the wall. I was confused. I can¡¯t remember anything at all. While holding my head, I staggered before I be able to stand up properly. It seems I can¡¯t even remember my name and my origin. I don¡¯t know who I am and I also don¡¯t know where I am. Isn¡¯t this bad? [But¡­ even though I am experiencing a memory-loss,, it seems my head can still think logically.] Am I a smart person before this? Though this is not the time to pondering about this. [I am strangely¡­. calm.] There is no anxiousness or any panic feeling in me. I am calm. Is that weird? [Let¡¯s just leave it be. There¡¯s no point thinking something that can¡¯t be resolve for now.] It would probably be a good idea to know where I am. And while thinking, I look around my surrounding again. [.¡­¡­¡­..This is a pretty scary place.] Contradicting to what I say, I¡¯m strangely calm. This is weird, I should feel scared or at least feels a bit panic aren¡¯t I? [What happen¡­..seriously¡­] With a deep sigh, I look at my palm. I also look at my body which is pretty well build. I don¡¯t know about my height, but looking at this body I probably around 18-19 years old. I have a pretty solid muscles all around and seemingly my abs is pretty hard and well-trained. Maybe I¡¯m an abs sucker before? And it¡¯s really lucky that I still has my pants on me. Though it¡¯s a bit ragged. I move around to test my body. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. [Wow, what a nice body. It feels like my strength is boundless!] Excitedly, I run around, jump around and start shadow boxing with my arms. My body feels light and I can feel boundless energy in this body. [What is this¡­. am I a warrior or something?] After finishing a bit warm up, I look around again. There is no passage. No place to go. It¡¯s like this cave is a confine place. But that can¡¯t be right? If it¡¯s a confine place, how did I get in here in the first place. [Fall? No that¡¯s not it, there¡¯s no hole or any passage on the ceiling.] Then how did I appeared here? [.¡­¡­.] It¡¯s bad if I keep being in here. There¡¯s not even a single living organism. How do I get out from here? While pondering about this, I slowly walk to the rocky wall. I touch the rock around the wall and feel it¡¯s property. [What a rough texture. And it seems hard? Or not?] I can¡¯t determine the hardness on the wall because of my strength. My instinct told me that I probably can crush the wall easily, but I can¡¯t determine the hardness by this. Thinking about my stupidly powerful body, I can¡¯t determine the hardness. It might be easy for me to break it, but what about other people, did they have the same body like me? Or am I different? Strangely, it¡¯s like there is a safety mechanism in my head which always give me a reminder of being careful. [ No use thinking about it.] I pull my right arm towards my back and strongly clench my hand, storing some strength to this arm, I throw it out to the wall. *CRASH* In an instant, the wall crumbled easily into fragment. [Well that was easy.] After clearing the dust around me, I see a huge space in front of me. The surrounding is covered by dark-blue rock and has the same atmosphere as the confined space where I was lying before. But strangely at the middle on the this huge space, there¡¯s a pedestal. [.¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.] The pedestal has a very beautiful carving in the form of flowers. And at the middle of it, it has a carving of a¡­.. snake? No, snakes doesn¡¯t have that kind of head, the head seems to resembles a crocodile only it seems to be more menacing with a very scaly body. The thing that mostly differentiate it with a crocodile is the horn that stuck on it¡¯s head. The horn isn¡¯t sharp, but it¡¯s blunt and have a few small branches around it, more like a tree. It¡¯s mouth widely open, showing it¡¯s ferocious teeth. What an incredible detailed carving. And what kind of animal is that? Finally, my eyes stop at the top of the pedestal. [What is that?] I saw a sleek sword. The sword has a very thin blade with a strange tip. And anyone can guess the sharpness of the sword by just looking at it. It¡¯s not even stabbed deeply into the pedestal, but only the tip of it. Yet, it can stand up without any movement. [What the hell is this?] Intrigued by the sword, I slowly walked towards the pedestal. Every steps I take make my emotions rumbled and my instinct trying to stop me from touching it. I don¡¯t know why, but every time I looked at this sword, there seems like a poke in my head. Something that trying to force itself into me. Something that is trying to awaken something in me. And without realizing it, on my hand is. [.] The sword which is sleek and beautiful is slowly being embraced by me. The hilt is covered by numerous black scales which even for me, doubt that I can pick it off easily. I hold the sword with comfortable feeling and touch it¡¯s blade. The smooth texture of the blade made me feel strangely satisfied without knowing why. This is my partner. The katana, . *** A white space. It has nothing in it. The space seems to be endless without any end. It doesn¡¯t have the sense of emptiness yet it is empty. At the middle of the white space, a young girl who is floating without any life suddenly give a reaction. Her fingers tremble one by one. Her seemingly emotionless face suddenly has a trace of liveliness on it. Her pure black hair which covering her whole body slowly goes down appearing to take orders from the young girl. Even with both of her eyes is closed, her face shows an expression of joy and excitement. Her long silky eyelashes trembled for a moment, and slowly, the eyelid open by the will of the girl, showing her charming ruby eyes. The pupil flicker with happiness and excitement. Her whole body shivers for a few moment and when it stop, her small mouth open with the lustrous pinky lips. [ Finral¡­.. I¡¯m coming.] Chapter 2 Chapter 2 While looking at my face which is reflected on the katana that I hold on my right hand, I can only say one word. [Plain.] What is this face!? It¡¯s too plain! My whole face seems to be shaped as an oval while my cheekbone is slightly covered by fat.It¡¯s basically an immature face. I probably need to evaluate my age again, maybe 16? Or 17? I¡¯m not sure, but looking at my body I think I can pass as an 18 years old boy. [Oh well, it can¡¯t be helped, everyone has their own luck after all.] Looking at my face again, I can see the ruby-colored eyes that I have. It¡¯s gave a bit menacing aura with my face. It can be said that¡¯s the only quality that I probably has. With my disheveled maroon hair, I kinda give out a slightly dangerous aura. [This is the first time I saw my own face, does the me before this has a problem of communicating with people? I really hope I don¡¯t.] After confirming my own appearance, I started playing with the katana that I hold. I don¡¯t know why does the ¡°katana¡± word suddenly appeared in my head. Interesting enough, after touching once, a peculiar knowledge seems to had entered my brain. The knowledge that I got is mostly some basic skill set. And that is where I know what is ¡°katana¡±. This weapon-type origin seems to come from another world. But how did it end up here? [This is too mysterious.] But I don¡¯t care about that, because I can feel it, seems¡­. to be made only for me. I don¡¯t why I can say that with full-confidence even without any basis, but that just how it is. After doing some warm-up with , my body seems to be full of energy. Maybe using this guy has some effect on my body? I can¡¯t confirm it right now anyway. [Moving on, I have finally found a passage here.] The passage that I mention is rather large, the passage appear to be made intentionally open for people to enter. Or rather then that, it¡¯s like this pedestal is some kind of holy place. [Did I¡­. made a big problem for myself?]Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. I can¡¯t stop thinking about that, my survival instinct is screaming with [DON¡¯T TOUCH THAT!] when I¡¯m walking to . But it was overcome by my emotion and excitement. It¡¯s probably easy to say that, I can¡¯t help it. It¡¯s my destiny to take . Something like that I guess. What¡¯s done is done anyway. [Anyway let¡¯s move.] With new determination, I set out while walking the large passage ahead of me. This time I am fully confidence with myself that I¡¯ll get out from this cave. Why? Because I can see a small flicker of light from the the passage. *** In an extravagant palace which situated at the centre of one of the largest kingdom, Sheakya Kingdom, there stood a middle-age man with a very large build. The man is standing at the end of a dining room table with a glass of red wine on it and a luxurious candle, flickering. The room seems to be a bit dark with some few lighting lamp which lighten up the room a bit. The face of the man is covered by the dark and only a bit of his face can be vaguely seen. [.¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..] In front of him is a sheet of paper which is a form of report given by a man standing besides of him. Wearing a full black coat, with white glove, he is a butler who serves the middle-age man. [ Is this legit? ] After a few moments of silence, the middle-age man finally said some words, directing it towards the butler who standing besides of him. [ Yes your Majesty, it could be said that the report itself is written by the Saint himself. ] [.¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.] Even with the dark covering the room, the butler can see the complicated expression that is made by the middle-age man because of the candle that flicker on the dining table. [.¡­¡­¡­Is that so.] With only a simple sentence that come from the middle-age man, the pressure from his body increased to the point that the candle sitting on the dining table to flicker with more energy. [.] In an instant the chant was said by him, the sheet of paper from his hand immediately become ashes. [It seems the summoning need to be done earlier. It can¡¯t be help. ] With a bit of of killing intent that has appear around the middle-age man, the butler who seemingly used to this kind of pressure gives a reply to him without any change of emotion. [It is as you said your Majesty, other kingdoms would also start the summoning ritual soon. We should also not deliberately slow down the process.] [It seems so, we will start the ritual by tomorrow, for now go make the necessary arrangement.] [As you wish, your Majesty.] The butler reply to the middle-age man while bowing his head showing the respect that he held for the man in front of him. The Hero King, Arthur. *** After walking in this straight passage, I finally found the end of it. Light from the entrance start to blind my eye with every step I take. I covered my face with my hand intending to block the light from hurting my eyes. After reaching the entrance, I can feel it, the hot temperature which I didn¡¯t feel in the cave. My body starts to warm up, feeling very refreshed, I finally get out from that cave. [.¡­¡­¡­.What a sight.] The scenery that stands in front of me is a lush green forest which is full of nature. I can see the birds which flew around the trees while chirping, appearing like they are playing around. The smell of the nature slowly relaxing my body, but even with that, I can¡¯t help myself to be dumbfounded by the scene in front of me. [How¡­..do I got down from here¡­.] At the moment I am standing at the edge of a cliff, while the forest that I¡¯m currently watching is actually below the cliff with the height that I can¡¯t even measure properly. *** [Hum~ Hum~ Hum~] A young girl who walking happily and randomly tip-toeing while humming a happy song could be seen in the white space. At the moment she is just running around in circle while humming, clearly waiting for something. [Hum~ Hum~ Hum~] Beneath the girl is a magic circle with many kind of symbols and runes. While running around the magic circle, her feet is glowing with crimson light following the pattern of the magic circle. Slowly but surely, the crimson glow will cover the whole magic circle. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 [Hngh¡­¡­] Right now, I am sitting at the edge of a cliff. I am right in front of the cave¡¯s entrance which I had just escaped from. Feeling a bit disgruntled, I look below at the cliff and watch the lush forest. [.¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­] Though it just a moment, my mind has the idea of jumping off the cliff, but my body wouldn¡¯t do it by instinct because the body itself knows what would happen if I do that. [Death.] The height of this cliff is not something that can be jumped by an ordinary human or even a superhuman. Even with this body of mine, I would probably be crushed into meat paste after reaching the ground below. [God¡­of all place why did I crash at this cave.] Thinking about all the event from before, I can¡¯t even think of a logical explanation on how did I end up in that cave. How did I get here anyway? Flying? [Should I try¡­.. my body¡¯s limit after all?] No no no no. No that¡¯s not a good idea, even if I survive the jump I would probably be heavily injured in the aftermath. I can¡¯t even heal myself right now, I can¡¯t take the risk. [What should I do¡­. I can¡¯t be stuck here forever¡­] While pushing my brain to think of a solution, I suddenly notice a disturbance in the forest. The birds which normally chirping and flying around suddenly scattered as if trying to run away from something. [.¡­¡­¡­¡­.] Noticing the disturbance I peek my head over the cliff while trying to see the situation on the source. Fortunately, the situation isn¡¯t far away from the cliff, so I can vaguely see a few silhouette resembling a human and one which a bit different. In a very fast approach, the silhouette seems to be running towards the cliff frantically.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. [Human? That¡¯s¡­. not it.] From below, I can see one of the silhouettes clearly and able to distinguish its appearance. A woman, a tall one with a pretty well-endowed body, running towards the cliff while shouting something. She also seems to be equipped with a standard hunter armor with 2 swords hanging around her waist on each side. Though the woman has the same body as human, there is two small horn on her head and most importantly she has a pale-green skin color rather than a normal human color skin. [A Hobgoblin?] Hobgoblin is a creature originated from a small version of them which is called Goblin, they usually evolved from a goblin or produced as an offspring by a male and a female Hobgoblin. Well, that¡¯s what my memory told me, seems like I still have the general knowledge about this world. After a few moment, I finally be able to see the other silhouette, in addition to the green woman, there is another 2 where I can finally see their appearance clearly. A man with a large build and another man with a slightly buff build. Comparing both of them would probably be unfair, as the man with the large build has a pretty crazy amount of muscles. Both of them also wear the same kind of equipment as the woman except it¡¯s a male type hunter¡¯s armor set and both are equipped with a same type of greatsword. [Da¡­¡­mn¡­..it!] Bit by bit, I can hear what the woman shouting especially after she finally reaches the cliff. After a few moment, the other 2 also reach the cliff while trying to catch their breath. [W-what should we do!?] While trying to catch his breath, the slightly buff guy seems to be in panic mode and kept asking questions to the woman frantically. The other muscle-guy seems to be able to keep his composure and keep staring at his front, appearing to be waiting for something. *PAM!* [Stop panicking you, idiot! Go and set up 5 Earth Wall Stones surrounding us! Make sure it is spread evenly to avoid gaps!] [A-alright!] After hitting his head, the woman quickly put her hand into the small leather-bag which is fastened on her left thigh while searching for something. Meanwhile, the guy which been hit on his head also done the same action but with a leather backpack on his back. Discovering what he wants in the bag, he pulls out 5 peculiar yellow-stones from it and quickly goes in front of the muscle-guy. Then he swiftly digs out a patch of ground and put one of the stones in it. Doing the same routine, he arranged four stones and plant it in front of the muscle-guy and another one planted in front of the woman. After finishing planting the stones, he readies himself with his greatsword, standing beside the muscle-guy. [What are they preparing for¡­] While watching them leisurely, I notice that I suddenly can feel a small vibration on the cliff. Just¡­ what is coming? It¡¯s movement even affect the ground here¡­. [It¡¯s coming, Auria!] While shouting loudly, the muscle-guy warns the woman, Auria, of the thing that would approach them sooner. [It¡¯s ready!] Looking at her again, she was drawing some kind of pattern on the ground with a white chalk. Though it¡¯s a bit blurry, I can see the runes which drawn by her start to glow. Then, the glowing runes which supposed to be on the ground, suddenly start to tremble and pop out from it. The runes start to float around the woman while she chanting some kind of magic spell. [O Mother of Earth, I beg your mercy to give this humble-self a minor help-] Slowly chanting the magic spell with her hand both hold tightly to her chest, she completely disregards everything and kept focusing on the chant. [ Krill! Activate the stones and ready yourself! We will repel it until your mom finishes the chant!] [Yes father!] Oh! They¡¯re a set of parent and child! What a spectacle, a full-party of family. That¡¯s pretty rare. Though their situation is quite bad. I would be able to give them a hand if I can get down from though¡­. [ Earth Wall activate! ] *SHUM!* !? Oh¡­.. that¡¯s my path to get down.
