Chapter 406 Heroes vs villains
The man tightened his grip on the shield and pushed it with all his might. This action caused the goblins to be pushed back while some of them hit the shield so hard that they bounced off it. This chance was not wasted as the people behind the man took the chance to attack.
A barrage of long distance and wide ranged spells rained down on the goblins followed by arrows enchanted by magic that will explode once it lands on an enemy or the ground. There were also flying bullets covered in a white light that accurately hit those that attempted to give them a sneak attack.
"Oh, they are quite good," the master was impressed at the teamwork they were showing and even at the power they wield. "It seems that the gods really invested everything on these bunch of heroes just to defeat me. Ha, how human like."
"Why don't you have some food first master while it is still hot?" The butler looked at the man and gestured at the table that was already set up.
The person looked at the food then at the map before he decided to stand up and eat first. While he was enjoying his food, the group of heroes were able to defeat the goblins that he sent. Now they were facing off against an army of undead he prepared beforehand.
The group slowly progressed and defeated all of the monsters that the enemy prepared for them until they finally reached a grand door with carvings of two swords crossing one another and a crown engraved on top of those two swords. The man who acts as their leader pushed open the door and was too stunned to speak.
The enemy they were about to slay was enjoying his meal and looked like a normal human being. He did not have monstrous features like how those books and stories were depicted. "You really are the demon king?" the leader asked with a frown because they were the only ones in the room and it was a bit difficult for him to accept that a young man who looked innocent was the enemy.
The man immediately lost his appetite and stopped eating. He gestured for the butler to take away everything, "I was enjoying that meal and yet the likes of you dared to trespass in my territory. You even ask if I am the enemy, is it because those old folks did not tell you that the final boss you were looking for is also a human like you?" He turned around and slowly walked up to his seat then swiped away the map and it disappeared.
"Don't be conceited, you are not human, just a monster pretending to be one." One of them spat in anger. He did not care if the man was human or not, what matters was that they were there to defeat him and end the grudge.
The man stopped on his tracks when he heard those words. "I am human. I'm just a bit different from you all but if you want to believe that I am a monster, then I will be one just to satisfy your ego and to see how far you can go with the power of those cowardly gods." The room was suddenly filled with different monsters that attacked them.
The man watched as this group of people defeated the monsters one by one until the whole room was filled with the stench of monster blood. Now, their focus was on the man who sat on the throne.
"Why don't you come and fight, don't just send your minions to deal with us because they can't defeat us. Stop acting like a coward." The same man who insulted him spoke out loud with his head held high.
The sense of superiority around him disgusted the man on the throne and before the man could speak once again, several magic circles appeared behind the man's throne then people who were bound appeared.
The heroes gasped in surprise when they saw this scene because some of the people who appeared were familiar to them. They were people who fought with them and the people who sent them to this mission to defeat the enemy.
"It is indeed interesting that you can call me demon king when in the first place I was not the one who started this boring war. I was merely spending my days in peace and yet one day you came knocking at my door while accusing me of things I did not remember doing. If I were right, one of them was massacring a whole town and sacrificing them so that I can gain power." At his words, screams started to echo inside the room. Their eyes widened as one person suddenly dropped dead.
The heroes were about to go and rescue them only to bump into an invisible wall. "What?" the arrogant man exclaimed and tried to break through the wall several times but he did not succeed and by now one fourth of the people already died.
"Why are you all surprised? Didn't you say I cause all the misfortunes you suffered? Yes, I caused them," he grinned and stood up. "I destroyed all those worlds and now I am going to do the same to this hateful world."
He slowly stepped down from his throne and the room suddenly swayed like a very thin plastic until it returned to its original state. The majestic castle was nowhere to be found but the change did not faze the leader and instead they launched an attack to destroy the invisible wall. The man watched all of this without moving and even after they destroyed the wall, he did not move.
"Die, you monster!" the arrogant man shouted then he launched a barrage of destructive spells but the man was not even scratched by it.
He raised his hand and with a snap of his finger the person who attacked him died on the spot with his head twisted in an odd way and before any of them could attack once again, he waved his hand and an invisible force sent them flying and hitting ground.
"Now that you heroes are, let's start the play!" His words were followed by a laughter that echoed in the destroyed castle and it even reached the battlefield where the others were.
From the side and from the back, Linius and his men entered to surround them. Renzo saw who it was and he was filled with indescribable anger. "You traitor!" He shouted as he launched an attack towards the general.
Linius did not respond to the provocation and silently attacked too. The place was then filled with the sound of fighting. Linius faced the raging Renzo while the other soldiers attacked the other members of the team.
Cygnus retreated behind the darkness and watched the fight. Ignius also alighted and transformed into his human form to supervise. He took the place where Cygnus was standing and looked at the chaos. Mr. C also stood beside the master while waiting for the battle to die down.
Because the heroes were given a part of the power from the gods, they easily subdued the soldiers and easily killed them. Linius and Renzo were the only ones left who were fighting. The others let them be as they faced the black dragon who was smirking at them.
"This is going to be fun. I'll be fighting six people at once. Ah, it's been so long…" he muttered before he lunged forward with his hands transformed into dragon claws.
The man with the shield moved forward as he planted himself on the ground and held his shield tightly. The dragon grinned as he intentionally hit the shield. The collision caused the ground to vibrate and the hero to slid back. The dust underneath his feet was disturbed and rose.
The dragon did not stop there and even twirled in the air and hit the shield with his other hand once again. The man with the shield was pushed back once again and this time the others did not stand by idly. They launched their own attack to deter the dragon.
