Years ago...
"ARGH!"
A demon groaned when a sword enveloped with black mana pierced through his chest. Black blood spurted when the sword was abruptly pulled. The body of the demon twitched then exploded, spilling innards as well as black blood everywhere.
The clashing of different weapons and magic shook the entire land. Roars and groans disturbed the mind of any species around. A pool of black and scarlet blood seeped through the dirty ground beneath their feet.
On top of the pile of corpses stood the majestic, yet frightening being with long dark hair, red-slit eyes and black demon stripes across his flesh. The malevolent being was known to everyone as the ruthless King of Umbra.
On his back stood another powerful demon with hair and eyes as dark as the cold night, healthy tanned skin and a mischievous grin on his full lips. His name was Ilyas Efraim, the brave and brilliant prince of Umbra's vassal state.
