Chapter 7 - Demons invading the city

/The Kingdom/

-2032, June 12-

The bald guy with short clothes that saved Alice said "You owe me one kid" then patted Alice on the head "Next time, don't get into trouble again or I won't be coming to save you" I can see in a distance, the soldiers in the north gate fending off the demons. "Why is it like this? I've never seen this in the game before" I thought. "What's happening?" I said to the guy. He began to explain "Every year, there is a demon attack. If you don't fend them off and just let it be, they will destroy your kingdom and all the people here. Once someone defeats the king of the demons, the demons will scatter. But no one has ever defeated the king before, they say that once you defeat the king, the demons will scatter and won't ever come back again. But I don't think that's true. So do you get the gist of it now?"

"Yup I got the gist of it now, so what your basically saying is that if we defeat the king, we'll never see the demons again?"

"Yes"

I turned my back towards him and looked at the demons

"Alice go back home, I'll come back later and The first one who finds the king wins"

I ran off to the north gate

Tatatata

"Velmore, you there?"

"Yes"

"Handle the west gate for me"

"Got it"

A guy from the watchtower said "Where are you going!"

"I'm going to defeat the king!" I said back to him. After that I couldn't hear what he said because wind was blowing in my ears. I reached the north gate and stopped, I looked back and I saw Velmore fighting the demons. I jumped up and was about to use all for one

"Wait! If I use this, it'll hurt the people surrounding me!" So I didn't use it in the end. I used my normal attack like I always did.

"Who's that? Have they finally sent reinforcements?" A quarter of the demons were destroyed because of Velmore and me. "Huh? What's this on my radar?" A red dot was blinking on my radar, it was right where I was. "Strange... If it's right where I am, it should either be underground or in the sky." I used a quarter of my strength to create a ravine. "I'll head down I guess." I jumped down and I was falling faster each second. I reached the bottom of the ravine and tried to find him but I couldn't. So I jumped out of there "Crimson wings!" I went to the sky and found the king, the mastermind behind all this. I can see that tag says "Demon King, Level 100, Male"

The Demon king looked at me, he looked like he was about 34, had horns, black clothes, two arms and two legs, and red eyes.

"What're you doing here huh?!"

"So your the demon king..."

"So what huh?!"

I challenged him to a fight, he laughed it off

"You? Fight me? Impossible!"

I grinned

"We'll see about that"

I dashed at him, his hands turned into claws. I swung with a portion of my power because I didn't want him figuring out my power. He blocked it with 1 hand.

"Eh? Your pretty good" He said

"Yeah! You too"

He was gathering black energy in his other hand and shot it at me. I dodged it and it went into the sky, if I had blocked that and it deflected on to the city, it would be bad. He

Shook me off and threw me away, while he threw me away, I threw a sword at him. It missed "Sword come back!" A blue faint light appeared in my hand and the sword had come back.

"What?! How are you able to do that! I thought only a level 100 Mage can do that!"

"Yes but you thought wrong, warriors can use it too!"

I learned from his fighting while he learned from me. "Sword beam!" A light gathered around the tip of the sword and it shot one of his arms. "Now you can't use your arm"

"H-How did you manage to learn a powerful skill!"

"My Senpai taught me it... I miss him..."

FLASHBACK

TAP

TAP

"TA-da and so this is how you get him to teach you sword beam"

"Wow! Your amazing Senpai!"

I logged off and went outside, it was snowing outside. The trees had no leaves on them, the floor covered with snow and the tops of the buildings.

"Want a smoke?"

"Sure"

He handed me a cigarette, he put the cigarette in his mouth and took out a lighter. He covered the lighter with his hand and ignited it then he helped me light my cigarette too.

"Life is not long, you'll die soon, did you know that?"

"Of course! Life is short! You'll need to enjoy it to your fullest!"

The red sky surrounding us and a sun shining on us. We were both floating in the air. The Demon king and me. "I was 17 at that time, but then when it was my birthday. He died in a car crash on his way to my home."

I wiped my eyes

"Why am I even saying this?" I smiled.

"Let's not talk about this anymore" I was gathering energy behind my back while I was talking. I clenched my fist "Take this!" I put my swords back, I dashed at him and threw my punch at him. He threw his punch too. We both clashed our fists, "Looks like we are both evenly matched" I said. But why is his punch as strong as mine? It can't be... He was also gathering energy behind his back! We both yelled. "ARGHHHHHHHH!!"

Both our fists became light faster then sound, red light surrounding our fists. I completed throwing my punch. He flew back to the ground, and hit the ground really hard with his back. I could even see the cracks and indentation on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. I flew down to see what's up "Hey, you ok?"

He spat another mouthful of blood

He lifted his hand and pointed at me

"Y-you, can I have your name?"

"Toyama Sorai, that's my name"

He laughed

"Sorai eh? My name is Jack"

He tried to stand up clutching his hand on his broken arm.

"I'll come back to fight you later and I'll be stronger!"

He placed 2 fingers on his forehead and he teleported to somewhere I don't know.

The red sky was clearing up and the demons are retreating. I ran back and one of the soldier's stopped me "Wait! Are you one of the demons?"

"No"

"Prove it! Show your identification card!"

I never thought identification cards could be this useful. I then showed him my identification card. The soldier was shocked

"Please pardon my rudeness sir"

I didn't know what happened like what was on the identification card that shocked him?

I continued to run back to my house and saw baldy "Hey how'd it go?" He said

"Pretty good. Right I forgot what's your name? "

"Sorry for my introducing myself, my name is Hank"

"Oh, and my name is Sorai"

"Say, that your dragon over there? He looks ferocious"

Ah right, I forgot to go to the dragon to pick him up. I immediately ran to pick up Velmore.

...

"S-stay away from us dragon!"

"AHHHHHH"

The dragon roared

"Velmore? Calm down, I'm here"

I sent the dragon back in my body

"Huh? Where'd the dragon go?"

"Maybe it was just our eyes playing tricks on us because of the demons" I said to them

...

I went back to my house. Alice was there crying, she looked at me "Master! I missed you!"

I was nervously laughing, did she miss me that much?

"There, there"

I patted her on the head.

"Sébastien"

He appeared out of nowhere right next to me "Yes? Have you called me?"

"Can you take care of Alice for me? I'll go outside"

"Yes"

...

"Hank, I know your there. Come out"

He appeared within the shadows of the buildings

"How did you know I was here?"

"Just a instinct"

"I haven't found the demon king on this side yet, have you?"

"No I haven't"

If I say that I defeated the king then I'll be in trouble.

I bid him farewell

I went back home to sleep

When I went back home, Alice was already sleeping

...

Somewhere in the darkness

"FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!! interesting... Very interesting!"
