Chapter 13 - THE BLACK CROWN -13-

As the time pass the day that everyone was waiting for had come. With the castle's entrance in sight, John stood ready, his sword hanging from his waist. Aria was visibly nervous, her gaze scanning everyone present.

The emotions among the crowd varied, with some appearing nervous and others exuding excitement. Aria understood their contrasting feelings, acknowledging that it was the first time in a long time that they had experienced war.

She knew how demons had deep love for killing and seeing blood but since they were so isolated from outside world they hadn't even experienced war for long time

Aria's gaze explored the surroundings, finding Charles deeply engrossed in preparations. Her attention suddenly shifted to Han, Realizing he was the only person left who could assist her, an urgent sense of purpose compelled her to seek his help

She had to find him before she got to war and she knows exactly where she could find him. She walk through the forest behind the castle As her gaze falling upon Han as he sat by the lake. His hair gently swayed in the breeze, as Han adorned a white shirt and black pants that gracefully hugged his waist and thighs.

She could see how han was settling beautifully doing nothing but he was lost in his thoughts on something shiny between his hands

she approached him, as he felt her presence his cold brown eyes had fallen on her as he hide that shiny thing in his pocket. "Can i talk to you han?"

She asked him she knows that they aren't that close but he is the only one who she could ask him for help but she also curious about what he hide in his pocket but it not the time for that.

"What do you want?" He looked at her and answered with cold tone "please han can you look after eric! I can't ask Charles since he is so busy and you are the only one i can trust to put my brother life in his hands!!"

A knowing smirk tugged at the corners of Han's lips as he turned his gaze back to the peaceful lake "well that one request I can't refuse. Can i? Why wouldn't i look after our dear eric.."

He gracefully stood up, drawing near to Aria as he banded to be same high as her and their faces were mere inches apart. His voice took on a serious tone as he cautioned Aria, "Be cautious, my dear Aria. I, too, have a bad feeling about this war."

Aria looks at him as her eyes flash with red hue as she get more nervous about the war. She felt han's hand pat her shoulder before he left.

"John i trust you i'm sure with your leadership those weak creatures can't stand to you!" Charles says as he smiles trying to encourages john tho he can see that john doesn't need any encouragement

"Don't worry your highness we will back with victory!" John says as his eyes fall on han and aria who had just come "let's go aria!"

And by that everyone had gone leaving only han and Charles and some maids and some guards.

On the battlefield, Tensions were high as two powerful armies faced each other as the humans and demons, both armed with extensive numbers of soldiers, stood at the ready, it was just moments before both armies start attacking each other

A protective shield had appeared on each demon's life core by the magician to protect the demons as humans also seems to have some kind of magic to help them but that wasn't enough to prevent demons from killing them

Everything was going according to the plan as the demons fighting aggressively. As the time pass and the fight still going between them suddenly the protective shield had vanish which

The demons were caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, their minds momentarily preoccupied by the unexpected situation. This distraction created a perfect opening for the humans to seize the opportunity and attack the unsuspecting demons.

"Damn it all of you focus!!" John screams as his eye had changed to even darker hues of red as he start to take down some of the human

-On the other side-

The magicians were doing there best to keep putting protective shields on the warriors while aria and othere healer trying to heal any wounded soldiers or magicians since using there power to put spells on 20k soldiers was hard to do

And suddenly a waves of arrows rained down on the crowd, numerous magicians found themselves caught off guard and causing significant chaos. Countless magicians hastily canceled their spells, scrambling to protect themselves with magical shields. Amidst the confusion, Aria's efforts focused on providing emergency healing to wounded demons

As some humans had successfully managed to enter there bases. The demons started to kill the humans as aria and othere healers try to support them.

Aria had ordered the othere magicians to hide but as she ordered them suddenly she saw an arrow had aimed at her life core. Her eyes widened since it to later to dodge it

She closed her eyes waiting for her ends…. But suddenly one of demon had yanked her and the arrow had hit his life core leading the demon to fall between aria's hands
