Chapter 218 – Chapter 45: Demon King #5 (2/2)

The red dragon and elder dragons had been annihilated in the fight more than 10,000 years ago. After that, the Four Riders of the Apocalypse had suffered such big damage that they slept for thousands of years.

Then in the battle 1,000 years ago, the Four Riders of the Apocalypse and the new elder dragons had met.It had been unfair.

Recorder Torres had used some wickedness to deceive Conquest.Additionally, there had been a crucial difference between the two fights.

The red dragon…It was the dragon of extinction which had led the Four Riders of the Apocalypse. The elder dragons had been replaced by new ones, and the numbers filled up again. The riders had returned as well.

However, the red dragon hadn’t returned. The red dragon alone had been completely freed from this world.

Why?What was the reason?

The difference between the two fights wasn’t just the red dragon.One more difference existed…

And the Death Knight knew what it was.

&

10,000 years ago, the Death Knight had been the king of the indigenous species.

He had been the ruler of the Demon World and the father of the people.The king had done his best to fight against the red dragon and the Four Riders of the Apocalypse. No one could deny his struggle.

However, eventually, he had been defeated.The king had been caught by the Four Riders of the Apocalypse and had to watch his people die.

Although defeated, he had still been the most powerful warrior and magician of the indigenous species. Death had then turned the king into his knight, and the king of the indigenous species became the Death Knight and slaughtered his own people.

All of that had worn his spirit down. In the end, the only thing left had been a shell of the former king.

The indigenous species hadn’t despaired over losing their king and continued the desperate resistance. The six elder dragons with the powers of the gods had fought with the indigenous species.

A long battle had ensued which then devastated the entire Demon World. At the end of the fight, the indigenous species had been completely destroyed. They hadn’t been wiped out because they had been embroiled in the fight. There was no way that one species could be destroyed so completely.

The indigenous species of the Demon World had cast the ultimate magic to defend the Demon World, so all of the indigenous species died at the same time on the same day. Their souls had united together into a mighty power.

This power had decided the last fight. It had prevented the red dragon, whose soul had been destroyed by the Drakon Kechatulla, from resurrecting in this world.

The entire Demon World was covered with the magic of abundance. One of the new elder dragons born after the great war, Watcher Ainkel, imitated the magic of the indigenous species and enriched Enger Plains.

Simultaneously, the magic of abundance was also a seal. Every spell of abundance in an area was one seal.

There were hundreds of barriers between the Demon World and the place where the red dragon’s soul was expelled to.

Over time, the significance of the abundance became larger than the seal. In the first place, the indigenous species had placed more weight on that side. The abundance had been a solution to the problems which they had been facing right then, rather than worrying about the red dragon.

As years passed by, the people slowly forgot about the seals. Even the abundance had been incomplete when it was handed down through guardians.

The Death Knight had destroyed the seals slowly over a long period of time. It wasn’t necessary to destroy all of the seals. He just needed to weaken the seals so that the red dragon could use its own power to break the barrier.

The War Knight had started her activities in earnest and helped the Death Knight. After making trouble in various places and driving away the attention of the gazes of those in the Demon King’s Palace, the Death Knight destroyed the seals on the far side and prepared to call the red dragon.

There were strong and weak seals.Sometimes the seals were in the form of things other than abundance magic.

The Death Knight had caused the ghost of the fairy king to run wild. As as result, the seal that the fairy king held had been destroyed by the children of the demon king. One powerful seal had disappeared along with the magic fog that covered Sky Forest.

The goal had been achieved. Thanks to that, the Death Knight started moving. He exposed the home of Arch Lich Shutenberg to bring all the powerful variables there.

The sword duke, whom the Death Knight and War Knight didn’t know when and where he could appear, turned towards the limit line. The Conquest Knight and Drakon Kechatulla of the Human World were also with him. Additionally, there was 2nd Prince Zephyr Ragnaros.

The captains were gathered at the Aegis Gate. Predicting their movements was as easy as staring into the palm of his hand.

The last thing was the Demon King’s Palace. Thus, the Death Knight had risen from his throne and headed there.However, the goal wasn’t the Demon King’s Palace. The Demon King’s Palace was just a place. There was something else which should be deleted from the world.

“Protector of the Demon World.”

It was the demon king. The demon king wasn’t the ruler of the Demon World; he was the one who protected it. The first demon king had ended the Era of Struggle. He had been the guardian of the Sanctuary. Although he had traveled outside the Sanctuary to wage war during the Era of Struggle, his true role hadn’t changed.

The demon king himself was the most powerful seal. He wasn’t simply a guardian but the source of the Sanctuary’s strength.

This was why the strongest person had to be the demon king. Therefore, the demon king was the guardian of the Demon World.

The Demon King’s Palace was burning. Flames rose into the night sky, and the screams of those dwelling in the palace could be heard as the sounds of fighting rang out.

The Death Knight gave strength to the hand holding his sword, and the power of Death exploded out!The colour of death was blue, and that dark blue energy swallowed up the surrounding area. Simultaneously, the apostles of Death appeared. Their goal was the same.

The current demon king… the sura king, Mitra…

He had made his way straight to this place like he knew who was responsible for everything. The sword in his hand cried out wildly.

The aura of Death was like a great snake as it tried to swallow the demon king. The various aura, magics, and psychic powers of the apostles of Death headed toward the demon king simultaneously.

The guards behind the demon king couldn’t respond properly. They were overwhelmed by the power of Death and could only watch.

The Death Knight stared at what was before him, while the demon king faced the Death Knight from a distance away. Then he wielded his sword towards all the malice in front of him.

It was just one swing, but it wasn’t an ordinary swing. The sword cut through the air and crushed the power of Death. All the auras, magics, and psychic powers heading toward the demon king disappeared. It was like the world itself had been cut apart.

The apostles of Death gulped. The guards were also overwhelmed by the absolute power of the demon king.

After watching this scene, the Death Knight understood and was convinced of something. He could only acknowledge it after watching this scene. It was the reason why he had to remove all the external variables, including the sword duke.

It was because of the strongest person in the Demon World…

And what that meant.

The demon king swung his sword one more time.
