Drathgo eyes widen and looks at his son in disbelief.
"My son why?"
Devlian was his only son. His successor. Drathgo even teached swordsmanship to him personally. He always believed his son has talent and would surpass him one day. The kingdom of Dethyra will prosperous under Devlian rule.
But now, the sword of his own son was penetrated deep in his chest. How can this be? Why a son backstabs his own father. How could he do it? Why?
Countless questions flash through Drathgo's mind. He looks at his son. Devlian was avoiding eye contract with him.
"I'm sorry father. Because of your stupidity the kingdom was going to destroy. I have to save the kingdom."
Devlian said with a low voice.
Before the invasion,
Devlian got a message from Lukia. Lukia and Devlian were best friends and also about the same age. They are both geniuses of their own kingdoms.
Lukia suddenly asked Devlian to meet with him. Devlian was confused but he went to the place Lukia mention. It was on the moutain at the border between Dethyra and Laria.
But when he arrived there. He found a handsome young man that seem to be the same age as them.
"Hey Lukia long time no see."
Devlian said with a smile.
"Yeah its been a year since we last met. I see you been stronger than before."
Lukia replied.
"You got it. I will become a swordmaster soon."
Devlian laughed and said.
"But who is he. I never seen him before. He doesn't look like a knight. He looks too.... soft."
Devlian pointed at Killian and asked.
"Before that, I want to ask you a question."
Lukia said seriously. Devlian was a little surprise to see that.
"Sure go ahead."
"Do you want to get stronger."
Lukia looks straight into Devlian eyes and asked.
"Of cause I want. You know it."
Devlian always want to be stronger and stronger. He was the only prince of Dethyra and he has been living near Drathgo, who wants more strength.
People often called the knights of Dethyra as muscle heads because they all want great strength and trained their bodies to extreme.
Although Devlian was smarter than his father, he also want to get stronger. As his close friend, Lukia naturally knew that.
"Then let's have a friendly match. I won't use any magic."
Lukia said and drew his sword. Devlian eyes flitched in surprise.
"Lukia I know you are strong. But you won't be able to win me without magic. You are a magic swordsman. Or are you just underestimating me."
Devlian laughted and drew his sword.
Killian was smiling and watching them silently. Lukia hold his sword leisurely. Devlian smiles with a slight anger and jump towards Lukia. But Lukia easily dodged and hit back with sword handle.
"Ahh. How did you get so strong."
Devlian asked in surprise and slashed towards Lukia with sword waves. But they were easily deflected by Lukia.
Then Lukia rushes to Devlian and slash his sword. It was too fast and Devlian doesn't have any time to react. Devlian sword flew out and stabbed into the ground.
"Okay this is my loss."
Devlian laughed and rises his both hands.
"How did you get so strong Lukia. Before that you and I are evenly match. Now I can't even take a few hits from you. You asked if I want to get stronger. Is there some secrets."
Devlian asked curiously. He was smart. He was not muscle head like his father.
"If you want to know follow me."
Lukia said and bows to Killian. Killian nodded and opened a portal to the chaos base.
Devlian was surprised but he kept quiet and silently follows Lukia. When he pass through the portal he saw an army of countless undeads.
His eyes shrunk. He gets near Lukia and asked in panic.
"Why are there so many undeads."
But Lukis didn't answer. He just keep walking into one direction. Devlian follows Lukia closely.
He looked at the grand army. There are at least millions of them. If this army can destroy kingdoms. Also the atmosphere here is making him weak and suffocate.
He saw many creatures he never seen before. Flesh golems, gargoyles, fiery hellhounds and demons. As he walks, the number of creatures and demons increased. Finally they arrived.
There was a huge palace. The palace looked grand and its looks more like the demon lord castle. There are demons guarding the palace. When they see Lukia, they bows and opened the gate.
They entered into the palace. Devlian saw many engravings around the palace. He looked at them in awe. The palace in the kingdom of Dethyra seem like a joke compared to this grand palace.
They reached a huge door. In front of the door, there are two tall fiery demons with dark armor. They gave a strong aura. It was Evilyn and Dustian.
When they see Lukia, they opened the door. The huge door slowly opened and reveal the long hall. At the end of the hall, there was a majestic throne and a shadowy figure was sitting on it.
