On a cold winter night, After finishing his 3 months of intense sword training, Jack Eclair was returning to Capital city which is the home city of the Eclairian Kingdom. He wore a grey tunic shirt, grey jeans pants, a pair of long black boots, and a long white coat.
"Cold... It is very cold, Unusually cold even for a place near snowy mountains."
"Something is off-putting.", Jack said as he continued downhill in his cruiser motorcycle. He noticed a cloud of smoke coming from the bottom of the valley. Jack immediately redirected his course towards the smoke.
"It is not a forest fire, definitely not in this climate"
As he was advancing through the harsh terrain of the hill slopes, He noticed settlements on both sides of the river. "A Village? In this ice-cold region? No… Focus! I need to find the reason for the fire.", he said to himself in a calm tone.
Jack reached the entrance of the village which had a signboard, carved out of wood saying 'Welcome to Kambe Valley'. The village was fortified by a stakewall. While Jack was observing the village structure, a kid was running towards him yelling, "Help! The Monsters are here! Somebody help!".
Jack stopped the kid and asked," Calm down now, you're safe. Take a deep breath and answer me, "What happened here?". After the kid relaxed and started speaking with a clear mind," There are… Black Monsters… Attacking the villagers and tearing down the huts, My parents… They are fighting the demons. Please Help us, sir". Jack replied," Don't worry I'll find your parents, I promise. Now go and hide behind those bushes". The boy went into hiding as Jack told.
Jack touched his right temporal ridge using his right hand's index finger and middle finger and established a communication link with the Anti-Demon League (ADL).
[Hello There! I, Chibi Spade, am here to give you some context
Everyone who wields an Epedellum is capable of communicating Telepathically through their Aatral
Epedellum - A Weapon especially a sword that is used against demons and is charged using Aatral absorbed from their user
Aatral - The light energy that flows through every living thing
Anti-Demon League was founded by the first king of the Eclairian Kingdom, King William Eclair, in the late 15th Century AL(Anno-Lucis pronounced as a-nn-o Lu-chis) to fight against demons and support people who have become a victim due to demons' attacks

"This is Anti-Demon League's emergency comms, What is the emergency?", said a woman.
"This is Jack Eclair"
"This is ADL's Emergency Command, What is the emergency, Prince Eclair?" a woman spoke
"There is a demon attack. I need Medical Support to a village called 'Kambe Valley' in the valley near the western part of the Snebolig mountain."
"Sending right away, sir." said the woman
After requesting medical support, Jack advanced through the village. It was not long after the demons showed up. After beating the demons, Jack observed them as their bodies faded into thin air.
"These are undead demons, which confirms The Undead King… "
"....is nearby", said jack with a bitter tone
[Hello Again, Chibi Spade here.
Knowledge of the Episode:-
Undead are demons that are controlled by the Undead King of Gehenna (Demon World). This knowledge is acquired from his undead invasion back in 16th Century AL.

Jack continued through the village and reached the river. On the opposite side of the river, he saw a lot of demons holding the villagers.
"Why are the demons holding the villagers? as hostages? In any case, I have to save them in complete silence or else I might put the villagers in danger"
While Jack was crossing the river in complete silence, A rather unusual demon with armor that appears to belong to a knight, appeared and all the other demons seemed to make way for him.
"Is that the Undead King?"Jack wondered.
"No, The descriptions mentioned in history books say otherwise. Undead King or not, He is in command here. That's all the more reason I need to end him"
After reaching the other side of the river, Jack continued to eliminate all the demons in complete silence.
"What do you want from us, you monsters?" asked one of the young villager
"That idiot, What does he think he's doing", jack said stressfully
"Monsters?"
"Ahhh yes, Monsters", the demon in knight armor said and laughed
"What are you laughing for? " asked the same young man
"I was just thinking of all kinds of ways to kill you and most of them…."
".... Tickled", the demon laughed and pulled out his sword.
"This is bad, I need to intervene now", Jack rushed towards the knight demon.
As the demon was about to swing its sword, Jack blocked it inches away from the villager's neck.
"Who might you be?" asked the demon as he was in a stalemate
"Someone who is about to kick your sorry ass," Jack replied with a confident voice
"Be my guest then" the demon said as he moved backward.
The knight demon came at Jack at full speed. Jack blocked the attack but the impulse pushed him a few feet backward
"Falling behind already? I expected more Hero", the demon taunted
"This is not good. He isn't like any other undead demon, fighting him at my full strength might put the villagers' life at risk." Jack's inner thoughts ran
Jack turned towards the young villager and said," Listen carefully, Free the villagers and head towards the other side of the river while I keep him occupied".
"Got it, sir" the villager replied.
Jack kept the knight demon occupied by mocking him while the villagers made a run for the other side of the river. The young villager gave a signal to jack indicating that everyone made it
"Now… " Jack said with a confident and subtle laugh
"Now I kick your ass for real".
Jack held his sword handle in his left hand and made a blood sacrifice using his right hand saying, "Blood Fusion...".
The Epedelum in his hand continued to glow even brighter.
"What is this immense light, was he holding back all this time?", said the demon with a confused and scared voice.
After fighting with full power, the knight demon didn't stand a chance and tried to flee
"Where do you think you're going, huh?", said Jack with a detesting smile.
The knight demon tripped and crawled away for his life towards the broken stakewall but the Anti-Demon League's nearby garrison had arrived and surrounded the entire village.
"There's nowhere for you to run"
While Jack was focused on the downed demon, A black ball appeared a few feet behind the demon. A demon which was 8 ft tall with dense skeletal armor, a cape made of thick unknown animal's fur, and Ice-cold breath appeared out of the black ball
"There is no doubting it, That is…. ", Jack said with a surprised face
"…. The Undead King".
