Chapter 5 - The Truth

this will be The last one today After your reactions i will decide if i should publish the rest

- What do you mean about mastering my powers? - I said thoughtfully.

- Do I really have to explain everything to you - She said grabbing her head....

- Don't give me that shit. - I said offended.

- That's no way to talk to a lady ;) - She said looking at me with that smile of hers.

I returned her with a stern look, after which she embraced me...

- The training you have undergone has given you strength far greater than a normal person should be able to wield. But that's not all, because, most surprisingly, you were able to do it while under the influence of the seal. - She said with a serious look, as if she were amazed by my achievement.

- Can you be clearer? - I said impatiently.

- In other words, you are the most powerful creature on the planet," she said looking at me with exciting eyes...

- You know, I feel sorry for you right now, I didn't think you were that sick.

- Ehh... I have to explain everything to you again... - She said taking a deep breath.

- You know, I don't know if you know, but I'm a human being. - I said with a surprised look on my face.

- Well, you were... Now you're not. - She said with a look of guilt, looking slightly away from me...

- What do you mean? - I asked angrily. Anger rose in me.

- Look at your reflection in the water by the river... - She said with a gray expression on her face. Lightly pointing at the place with her hand.

I ran quickly to the river. I didn't know then what I would see.

I no longer saw my old self, but someone else. An ordinary monster, the sight of which made me feel fear in my veins, down to my bones and blood. But what I felt after that was anger itself... It wasn't me anymore.

My hair had turned a pitch-black shade.... It had lost its former brown color. My eyes, on the other hand, had turned into hellish burning embers of red and gold.... My face was pale, almost like that of a dead man. My body was powerful but just as pale as my face.

I ran towards Shierra in anger, and from my heart I could feel deep sorrow and hatred, and above all my anger and rage.

- What have you done to me! - I said, trying to grab her, barely holding back.

My roar alone made her shake for a moment. When she calmed down, she began to explain.

- Your body must have undergone a complete transformation in order to adapt to the conditions of the ritual... - She said with a slight uncertainty in her voice.

- Ritual!? Why are you only now telling me this!? - I said angrily.

- This ritual is forbidden in the demon lands because there is little chance of it succeeding...

- Then why did you even subject me to it! - I said out loud, but not with all my might so as not to wait for it to return to normal again.

- I had to try otherwise you wouldn't have had a chance at all!

- What do you mean? - I asked surprised.

- You had the best chance of succeeding. Besides, you were able to do what other people in this world couldn't even do at first. - She said with composure. A little respectful.

- Are you still hiding something from me? - I said slightly disappointed and annoyed.

- Nothing, but we are running out of time. - She waved her hand.

- For what? - I asked surprised.

- For training, of course. - Turning around she showed me her back and signaled for me to follow her.

Some time later

Tournament day:

- Dear audience. Ladies and gentlemen today we have all gathered here to welcome the six finalists to the grand finale where the last one alive or standing will have the greatest possible honor of becoming a demon lord!

( Audience cheers of satisfaction can be heard)

- One by one the contestants just enter:

- A black-eyed Shagha den Valoda serpent from the cult of poisons. Do not let his inconspicuous appearance fool you. Despite the fact that he is all green, inside his skin there is a deadly poison, which would take down many a demon.

- Then, after him, Raletuk the Giant wielding lightning enters the stage. In earlier rounds, he and his spear were a nuisance to many an opponent. It is rumored that his skin is blue, to better harmonize with the element of lightning, but this is just a rumor.

- After him, a four-handed Velduin with a distinctive mask with the likenesses of three faces comes out onto the stage. In each of his four hands he wields a sword with which more than one thresher has been slain and cut in half. He comes from the desert ice of Schakutelin. In which every member of this tribe is trained from birth to be an exquisite warrior.

- But let's not forget the other participants with equally impressive and outlier talents than the rest of their opponents. A member of a noble demon lineage trained from birth to be a warrior worthy of the name of the best clan with a long tradition a warrior who needs little introduction

Tregunar of Sheolog!

( In the background, a little quieter from

voice drowned out by the shouts of the audience )

- Tss Wretched plebeians who don't deserve the throne - ,,said the arrogant Tregunar.")

- However, this is not the end of the story, there are still two contestants competing for the title of ruler of the demons. Surprisingly they both wear masks and are equally mysterious, but their costumes are as different from each other as Light and Darkness. Erys is an assassin from the Assassin Clan, and it is rumored that anyone she has targeted has died in agony. Her past is not very well known, but her skills are impressive. As for Azael's latest challenger... There isn't much information on him, what is known is that he is super strong and has skills worthy of an assassin or a stealth fighter

He is surrounded by an aura of darkness and mystery. It is not known where he came from or where he comes from. So much for the introduction, then let the battle begin which will determine the true Sovereign!

......

Azael

- How the hell did I end up in that mask....
