Chapter 100 - War declaration

In a colossal castle made up of black marble, the air is heavy with mystery and intrigue. The walls are smooth and polished, reflecting the flickering torchlight in a thousand different ways. The corridors are long and winding, leading to hidden chambers and forgotten passages.

At the heart of the castle lies the great hall with a luxurious throne where Jake the demon lord was sitting with four demon women pleasing him,

A demon entered and kneeled saying,

"My lord!!! the human king has declared the war against the demon kingdom "

Jake looked at the demon with unpleased eyes and said,

"Summon the generals "

The demon quickly ran away from the room,

Within several minutes, about a hundred demon generals gathered and were kneeling in front of Jake,

Jake said, "How many of you reached the supreme level "

A general said with a respectful tone,

"Eighty of us has reached the supreme level in either magic or combat. "

"Twenty five have reached the grand level "

Jake was satisfied when he heard that 80 of his generals had reached the supreme level. He knew that his army now can easily destroy human kingdom.

Jake said, " Send one or two grandmasters to occasionally attack the human kingdom to delay their preparations."

"The rest of you will train "

The demon generals didn't even refute and just bowed,

They then left and Jake again indulged himself with the demon women,

In the human kingdom,

Alice and Olivia were sitting on the bed, looking out the window. The sun was setting outside, casting a golden glow over the city.

"Aren't you worried that Morsh would not talk to us after war? " asked Olivia.

"I'm worried," said Alice. "But there is nothing we can do."

"Can't we just get away from here and not participate in the war? " asked Olivia,

"We can," said Alice. "But the friends we made during this time will be killed if we run away."

The two of them sat in silence for a few moments, contemplating the difficult situation they were in. 

After about a week,

Alice, Olivia, Pete, Luna and Leona were eating when the butler came in running,

"What's wrong?" asked Alice.

"Demons have attacked the Seashore city " said the butler, panting. "The king ordered all three of you to depart as soon as possible "

Pete, Alice and Olivia stopped eating, and quickly got ready to leave,

Three Pegasus were ready for them outside the mansion,

They climbed on their backs and flew towards the Seashore city,

It took them two days to reach the city,

The soldiers were fighting bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. The monsters were relentless, their hulking forms crashing against the city wall like waves. The soldiers' swords and spears bounced off the monsters' thick hides, and their arrows were swallowed up in their gaping jaws.

The soldiers were exhausted, their limbs weary from hours of battle. Their faces were streaked with sweat and blood, and their eyes were filled with desperation. They knew that if the monsters broke through the city wall, the city would be lost.

Pete looked around and saw couple of demons near the beach,

"You two, handle the monsters" Pete said, "I will deal with the demons "

Alice and Olivia nodded and quickly headed towards the city,

Alice cast powerful spells at the monsters, incinerating them with fire and blasting them with lightning. Olivia unleashed a volley of aura arrows, piercing through the monsters' thick hides. The monsters didn't even get the chance to fight back, Alice and Olivia were too quick and too strong for them.

Within minutes, the battle was over. The monsters were defeated, and the city was safe.

The soldiers cheered and embraced each other. They had survived, and they had done it thanks to Alice and Olivia.

The soldiers finally relaxed, their bodies and minds at peace. They knew that they could rest easy, knowing that their city was safe under the protection of Alice and Olivia.

  On the other hand,

Pete landed in front of the demons,

There were twenty demon soldiers and two demon generals,

The demon soldiers all manifested aura swords and shot at Pete,

Pete unsheathed the dark holy sword with a smile on his face and swung the sword at the upcoming aura swords,

The dark energy consumed all of the aura swords as soon as they came in contact with it,

Pete then with a fluid motion and lightning speed, killed all of the demons and then appeared in front of the demon generals but was kicked by one of them,

He was sent flying backwards but managed to balance himself midair and landed in his feet,

Pete was surprised by the strength behind the kick, "I didn't use my full strength, but I won't hold back now "

Pete raised the dark holy sword and charged at one of the demon generals, but the demon was too fast. It sidestepped Pete's attack and delivered a powerful kick to his chest. Pete felt the air leave his lungs as he was sent flying backwards.

He crashed to the ground, his head spinning. He tried to get up, but the demon was already on him. he grabbed Pete by the throat and lifted him into the air.

"How can a hero be this weak "

Pete's heart pounded in his chest as he stared the demon. He was being held by him.

Pete tried to kick the demon again, but the demon was too quick. he slammed Pete on the ground, his head snapping back against the hard earth. Pete gasped in pain.

The demon loomed over Pete, its eyes glowing with malice. he raised his massive fist, ready to deliver the killing blow.

Before the punch could land on Pete, Pete channeled his aura on the dark holy sword,

The dark energy burst out of the sword like a flame and engulfed the demon,

And before he realized what's happening, his soul was absorbed by dark energy,

The demon's lifeless body fell upon Pete,

The other demon general was trying to understand what just happened,

Pete moved the demon's body from his and stood up, pointed his sword at him,

"It's your turn now "

"Hahaha... " The demon general started laughing as he manifested aura avatar wielding a giant aura sword,

Pete smiled as he channeled his aura on the dark energy sword and manifested a dark aura avatar,

The demon was surprised at first but attacked with his avatar,

The dark avatar and the aura avatar clashed creating a shockwave that shook the ground,

With each strike, the aura avatar was getting smaller as the dark energy absorbed it,

This made the demon's face fearful with each strike,

He plummeted into the ground as his avatar landed its last blow before being completely absorbed by the dark energy,

The dark avatar then returned to the dark holy sword,

Pete walked up to the demon general and said,

"You shouldn't have attacked the city "

The demon said as he looked at Pete,

"This is war, what do you expect us to do when you started it? "

Pete stabbed the demon with frustrated look on his face,

Alice and Olivia also arrived at that moment,

"Let's go back " said Alice,

Pete nodded and they all rode the Pegasus and returned to the capital city,

After returning they all rested in the mansion,

From that point on, the demons would attack at random, without warning. They would descend upon a city, wreaking havoc and destruction. So Pete, Alice, and Olivia have to travel to the city under attack.

At first, only Pete was able to defeat demon generals with the help of the dark holy sword, But as time went on, Alice and Olivia also became skilled warriors in their own right. They trained hard and learned from their own mistakes.

And after about a year, they could defeat a demon grandmaster on their own,

But they still have to go together as sometimes more than one demon generals would attack a city,

Soon the new hero, which was summoned also joined them,

His name was James, he was tall muscular guy with black hair, he uses a shield so his addition on the team was useful,

Four years passed just like that,

A total of four heroes were summoned at that span of time and a dragon would take them to train,

Freya, a black haired girl who uses knuckles as her weapon,

Arthur, a black haired guy who uses a sword,

Ava, a black haired girl who uses a mace, 

Adam, a black haired guy who uses a longsword,

And at the start of the year, Nova a black haired girl was summoned and chose daggers as her weapons,

Freya, Arthur, Ava, Adam and Nova formed their own team of heroes,

With the addition of a new hero team Pete's team now could rest a little bit as they took turns to defend against demons that are still attacking occasionally,

Then one day, they decided to meet Rorak one day and headed to the cave,

Rorak surprised by their visit, welcomed them,

At the dinner table,

"You all have outgrown me " said Rorak with a bitter smile,

"Aren't you happy that your students have surpassed you, " Alice said cheekily,

With this they began laughing,

Only James was feeling out of the place but soon also started enjoying as they talked,

"So how long has it been since you were summoned Pete? " Rorak asked,

"It's been nine years and six months since I was summoned, " Pete said,

This was not a surprised for anyone and they talked about other things,

After that, Alice and Olivia entered the room Morsh was in,

They sat on both sides of Morsh and started telling him everything that happened up until now since they left,

Morsh frowned as he heard them but listened to their stories,

'This is bullshit... ' He thought as they told him about the war,

In heaven,

The goddess anxiously walking left and right. Her flowing robes billow out behind her, and the air crackles with her restless energy. 

"Why hasn't he absorbed the energy of the body yet? " she said, "There's only six months left for the championship "

She then snapped and disappeared from heaven,

In the Morsh's room,

Alice and Olivia were still talking,

When suddenly time stopped and they froze,

The goddess appeared and said,

"Why haven't you taken control of the body yet? "

Morsh said,

"I don't want to "

This enraged goddess as she pulled out Morsh's soul with a wave of her hand,

"Don't act smart with me... just take over the body "

Morsh said. " What if I don't? "

The goddess took a deep breath and asked,

"What do you want? "

"Nothing, I just want to peacefully spend my eternity in this soul space " Morsh said,

"Have you gone insane?" Goddess asked with a surprised look on her face, 

Morsh smirked and said, " I don't know, have I? "

The goddess's expression changed, her eyes narrowed, and her lips pursed in a frown as she thought, 'Did I really make him go insane?'

Morsh looked at her with a playful smile and mockingly said,

"So, can you leave me alone in my space. "

The goddess was infuriated again as she realized Morsh was acting,

"How dare you!!! " she roared. " You think I can't see your acting "

"I know you can, but it's more fun when you can't do anything to me " Morsh said,

The goddess looked at Morsh dumbfounded and after some time.

"Just tell me what you want? " She asked,

"No you tell me, what do you want? " Morsh said,

The goddess sighed and said,

"I want you to participate in the championship of heroes"

"What will I get if I do that? " Morsh said,

"Just say it, I will grant any of your wish " Goddess said,

Hearing this Morsh thought for a moment and said,

"I want to go back to my world and access to the heaven's library again "

"Also the prize of the championship "

The goddess frowned hearing this,

She thought for a moment and said,

"I can send you back and give you access but I can't give you the prize "

"But I can give you the prizes of all 10 heroes "

"What's your prize? " Morsh asked,

"A new world " Goddess said.
