"Hm... No one seems to be home."
Cyrus was now walking alone inside the castle, his destination, the ballroom up ahead with a huge tall gate, while Barnas' daughter had gone to find whatever it was she was looking for.
One more step, Cy docked in front of the gate, and he sighed, looking at his dagger. Then, with a serious and killer expression, he pushed the door open.
As usual, it was dark, and it was at the time the door shut closed, bam, red flames etched on the wall lit up the ballroom... That's when Cy's eyes widened.
The broad room was encompassed with tall demon Orcs all adorned in black tattered clothing and exposing their upper red frame with black lines on it.
The way they looked at him, it was as if they'd been waiting for him to pass through the door.
However, none of that mattered. The moment he saw the demon sitting behind them, the throne was similar to Baras', and the demon was putting on the skeleton face of a goat as a mask.
"Barnas, so that's him," muttered Cy under his breath.
In a flash, Voom, Barnas' daughter materialized from the shadow beside her father. Kneeling beside him, she couldn't look at Cyrus.
'Not surprised but disappointed,' inwardly, Cyrus voiced.
"So you're the human who has been given the quest to exterminate me?" Barnas' voice was like thunder mixed with terror. His eyes were glowing behind the mask.
As of now, Cyrus could see the high demon Orcs were getting ready to engage in battle.
"Advance."
Cyrus's dagger appeared in his tight vein grip, he zoomed at the incoming demon Orcs and slashed randomly, eradicating all that touched his shadow.
As if the ambush would work on him, a demon lacerated Cy's head from behind, but Cy was quick enough to turn and block the attack… Bam, which sent him skidding meters away.
Not giving Cyrus time to rest, the demon orc leaped up and slashed its battle-ax down at Cyrus. Kaboom...
Rocks splattered up like rain, Cy rolled out of the way, but then Kweuk', a demon grabbed him at his torso, and with a resounding outburst... boom'
Kweuk'
Cyrus was smashed against the ground, blood oozing from his mouth, and he was slammed against a web-like crack.
Overall, he was surrounded by demon Orcs, but most importantly, the one nearby raised his huge fist and connected that devastating punch against Cy's back.
Kweuk'
The web-like crack got bigger, and Cy coughed out a mouthful of blood on the floor. "Weak and pathetic... I cannot waste my time on a weakling."
For a moment, Cyrus had flashbacks. Ultimately, demon king Barnas stood, and a black portal materialized in front of him. He stared at his daughter and ordered, "Do not let him leave Alive... End him or I'll end your kids."
"Yes, father."

"Slave role. Hahaha, Cyrus' skill is supreme trash… This...this is so hilarious."
"Wish I could post this on YouTube, hahaha, all he does is die over and over again... haha."
"Puny Cyrus, you cannot change your innate potential, it's what you were born with, it was in you right from the start, all the system did was awaken it," declared the succubus angel.
Cyrus could see everything like a movie, and his weak self squatting beside him. "You've tried, now just accept it, we lost, and they were right, we'll only keep on dying repeatedly," said young weak Cyrus.
————
Cyrus gritted his teeth, a Demon Orc was already beside him and was about to smash its ax at Cyrus, and like lightning, kaboom.
The ax erupted rocks, and to their surprise, Cyrus wasn't there, all that was there was a broken web-like crack on the floor.

The demons stood looking at themselves, perplexed. They wondered if Cyrus had been crashed into dust.
Hence, they began walking towards Barnas' daughter, who apparently could still feel Cy's presence.
"I'm not done yet," Cy's thunderous but low voice stole the attention of everyone.
Now they could all see him, he was standing meters away from them, and he cleaned the blood stain off his lips. "Great, you've torn my new clothes... Now," Cy paused, raised his two daggers, and muttered "Advance".
Boom'
He dashed forward, simultaneously with the demon Orcs. It was a hundred against one. Slash'. Cy dodged to the left and impaled the orc's throat.
As of now, it was as if Cy had been possessed, he blocked every goddamn attack thrown at him, and no demon was able to defend his speed.
"Hehe... Y'all gonna dieeee," yelled Cyrus, acting like some maniac, acting like Baras.
Barnas' daughter knows she's next, Cy was already killing off the mini army her father left her. And now all of a sudden, Cy is dropping each of them dead within a nanosecond.
"I don't want to die... I must kill you," she muttered.
A book appeared in her hand, and far from her. Precisely within the battlefield, a wide purple-red portal appeared, and a humongous demon orc stepped out.
Unlike the rest, this one had a completely tattered robe, and surrounding its neck was a red glowing necklace made out of human skulls.
"I've summoned you. Now kill that human, or you'll be sent back to hell."
The highest mage, the Orc demon, gave a slight nod that couldn't be noticed; it didn't care if its allies were fighting Cyrus.
"Law of Chaos," the mage Orc muttered with a stretched out palm, and the next thing Cy knew was kaboom.
The rocks cracked beyond repair, causing him and the demon Orcs to float. The next phase was the "law of gravity".
Woohoosh...! Bam' kweuk'
The law sent an enormous wave that blasted Cyrus against the far wall, hard enough that Cyrus coughed more blood than ever, hard enough the door cracked.
Cy fell on his knees holding his chest, perplexed, he wondered what that thing was, holding a book and casting spells, but the next thing Cy heard gave him a heart skip.
"Law of permanent death."
