In a world full of curiosities and dangers, long ago peace reigned over the four continents, until...
The war between the mages broke out, igniting the War of the 700 Years. The world trembled every night with the clashes between different races. But one day, it all came to an end...
"An onslaught of demons is coming!" —said the elf soldier, his voice filled with panic."Where?" replied Kurth, the elven captain, looking around in concern."Through the main gate, and they outnumber us...""It's not just that, I sense something much bigger than the demons. It could be... oh no!""I-it's... a class 6 demon!""They are the most powerful of their kind... Their strength and magic are lethal."A class 6 demon is one of the strongest of the demon race. Their abilities are remarkable: they control magic with ease, possess immense strength, and are incredibly skilled in combat. Their very presence is a threat to an entire nation."Don't just stand there! Call Master Richard and tell him it's an emergency!""Yes, sir!" —replied the elf soldier swiftly."Well, it looks like it's time to show the true strength of the elves," said Kurth, with determination. Although his voice betrayed no fear, his soul felt the weight of the battle ahead.Thus began a fierce battle between Kurth and the demon Satidio. While Kurth used his god-level magic, the most powerful in his class, the battle claimed countless lives, both elf and demon. Meanwhile..."Master Richard! We need your help. A class 6 demon has appeared. Sir Kurth is holding it off, but I don't think he can last much longer without your help.""Mhm... I see, so Mali has started using those damned demons... We have no way out.""But, Master Richard! You're the most powerful elf in this continent! Don't say we're giving up.""Mmm, I suppose you're right, soldier. I'll fight to the death for this castle and its people." —said Master Richard, with a fierce look. His words concealed a sad truth: his powers were no longer what they once were, but the protection of his people kept him standing.As Master Richard made his way to the battlefield, his mind worked at full speed. He knew there was no easy solution, and the plan he had in mind offered no happy ending. But it was the only path left.Upon arriving, he shouted:
"Where are you, Kurth?!""Here, Master..." —replied Kurth, almost out of breath."Tell me what happened.""I... I was defeated..." —said Kurth, his voice broken with pain."Don't speak, rest. I'll heal you." —responded Master Richard, beginning to heal him with his healing magic."Thank you, Master. It was horrible... The demon was class 6. His name is Satidio. I managed to stop him, but they retreated... for now.""I see... That explains a lot. Although I'm not surprised, you're an exceptional warrior, Kurth. Now, rise and prepare yourself. What's coming won't be easy."As Master Richard had said, suddenly, everything began to tremble. Something massive was approaching."MASTER, FRONT!" —shouted Kurth, pointing to the horizon.A surprising magical attack came at them at great speed.
"Don't worry, Kurth. You've done enough. Now go and tell the troops to retreat. They must protect the divine key. I'll handle this," said Master Richard, his voice firm, though tired.With a swift gesture, he raised his staff, and the air around him began to vibrate. He spoke the words with power:"Protection rise above all else, stop the attack that threatens to destroy this nation! GOD-LEVEL SHIELD!"With a deafening rumble, the demon attack was halted, but that wasn't all. Something even more terrifying was coming..."It's... the demon god Okron!" —said Master Richard, trembling, not from fear, but from the helplessness of knowing he couldn't stop it."Haha, so you're the old Richard." —said Okron, his voice full of mockery."I'm impressed by your magic level, although it's nowhere near my army's or mine."Master Richard, still standing, could not speak. His mouth trembled, but he wasn't defeated. In one final effort, he began to prepare a spell that surpassed god-level."MASTER! He's going to attack!" —said a demon soldier, looking nervously."Do you think I'm stupid? Let the old man show us his level," responded Okron with a wicked grin.Master Richard began to prepare a monumental spell. A massive amount of magic emanated from him, lifting rocks from the ground, while his staff spun through the air. The sky darkened, and with a resonant voice, he said:"Lightning that devastates all, come to me and help me end this war! DIVINE LIGHTNING!!!"An immense roar thundered across the battlefield, followed by a devastating lightning bolt that tore through everything in its path. The air was filled with a blinding brilliance, and when the dust settled, Master Richard, exhausted, could barely remain standing.
"Phew... phew... That drained all my energy... Ha... But I think it was worth it. Not even an army would have survived that attack," he murmured, looking around.However, it wasn't over.
"Wow! That was a real divine attack. It's been a while since I've seen one. HA-HA-HA! Impressive, you're incredible, old man!"Although the attack killed all the demon soldiers, Okron survived, albeit gravely injured.
"It can't be! That attack was the strongest I can do... and still, I didn't stop you!" —said Richard, his voice fatigued."HA-HA-HA. You're right, old man, you surprised me. But it wasn't enough to stop me. And now, I see you're after the divine key...""That's right," said Okron, with a sinister smile. "If you hand it over, I'll retreat and not destroy this castle or its towns.""I see..." While they spoke, Master Richard teleported to the castle, with a single mission: to protect the divine key. The divine key is the gateway to ultimate power. It is said that whoever obtains it will conquer the entire world."KURTH! Where are you?!""Here, Master... What happened? Did you defeat them?""Of course not. Not even I can defeat Okron.""The demon god Okron?" —said Kurth, trembling with fear."That's right, and he's coming. Hurry, we need to get rid of the divine key.""But Master, we need the divine key to defeat Okron. It's the only way to beat him.""You're wrong, Kurth. No one in this castle should possess the divine key, let alone Okron. We must get rid of it. It's the only way to buy time.""Mmm... I think you're right, Master. What do you think if we teleport it to the farthest place possible?""I'll make Okron believe I have it."So Kurth and Master Richard performed a teleportation spell, sending the divine key to an unknown location."All set, Master. What's next?""Mmm... Prepare to die, Kurth." —said Master Richard seriously."I see... It will be an honor to die by your side, Master.""The same goes for you, Kurth. And remember, regarding you, I have the divine key. So give me your energy to help us disguise it."Kurth, trusting his master, gave up part of his energy, and together they managed to deceive Okron.
"Here he comes!""Hello, old man! This place reeks of divine magic. I see you've recovered, although that's not possible unless... YOU USED THE DIVINE KEY!"Okron launched a combined attack of magic and brute force, shaking even other realms. The impact was so strong that it left a massive crater where the white castle once stood.
"HA-HA-HA! All that war for nothing! But at least the key has been destroyed..."Although the divine key remains hidden, its whereabouts are a mystery. Perhaps someone else will find it...
