Near the fringes of the human kingdom, the scarred land bore witness to the impending clash. Arthur Alverian emerged from the shadows, a solitary figure amidst the desolation, his black blade a silent harbinger of doom. The demonic horde, sensing the threat, shifted their attack patterns, a desperate attempt to counter the impending onslaught.
In the blink of an eye, Arthur descended upon them. His attack patterns were a blur, a dance of calculated chaos that left demons reeling. The skirmish unfolded in a frenetic pace, the air crackling with the clash of steel and demonic roars.
Amidst the chaos, a demon found itself face to face with the relentless force that was Arthur Alverian. Panic coursed through its veins as it witnessed the swift demise of its comrades. Fear gripped its heart, a realization that this was no ordinary adversary. In a desperate attempt to escape the impending doom, the demon's attack pattern faltered, revealing a vulnerability that Arthur exploited with ruthless precision.
Arthur moved with the precision of a seasoned warrior, his every strike calculated for maximum impact. In the midst of battle, a flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes. The demonic horde was but a fleeting obstacle, a mere test for the might of the Duke of Swords. Each swing of his black blade carried the weight of ego, a silent proclamation that this battleground was his domain.
As the demons recoiled, a subtle smirk played on Arthur's lips. The outskirts, stained by the demonic incursion, were witnessing the resurgence of human strength. In his veins flowed the pride of a warrior, and with every defeated foe, his ego swelled. The desolation around him was not a testament to defeat but a canvas awaiting the strokes of redemption.
Amidst the solo slaughter of the demon front, which was extinguishing like a candle under Arthur's relentless assault, Robert, the right-hand man and servant, approached with news that momentarily halted the ruthless assault.
"My lord, you are a grandfather now," Robert announced, his words unaffected by the slaughter radiating the black aura Arthur exuded. The battleground, stained with demonic blood, became the unlikely backdrop for this unexpected revelation.
"Grandfather, how long has it been, Robert?" Arthur asked with an amused glint in his eyes, the flames of battle still reflected in their depths.
"One year, my lord," Robert replied, bending his knees in a show of respect amidst the chaos.
"It's time to head back," Robert suggested, a genuine smile playing on his face, contrasting the grimness of their surroundings.
"Sword Dance," Arthur commanded, his voice cutting through the tumultuous sounds of battle. In response, a colossal engulfment of flame enveloped Arthur's sword, a technique known to few. The air crackled with fiery energy as the sword danced, flames swirling in a mesmerizing display of controlled chaos.
Robert, who had followed Arthur for most of his life, watched in awe. This was the first time he had seen Arthur unleash this technique with a smile on the His face. With a swift motion, Arthur released the flames, leaving no trace of devil alive in its wake.
