The Silver-eyed Hellkin (Part 6)

In the desolate landscape, separated by trees lie a swirling black mist. The black mist swirled and howled like the cyclonic winds that scatters dust and dirt.

*Bwoom!*

The dark mist exploded, dissipating into the air. A figure steps on the dirt with its eyes closed and slowly opened its once silver eyes into gold.

"So...I have evolved to Demon Lord, huh?" the Hellkin said. He looked around to sense a peculiar Oni Champion that he fought earlier, but nothing of the sort was in sight.

"I can't sense that Oni Champion at all...he must be truly dead from that explosion." he said.

"Ugh..." a voice was heard in this silence and the Demon Lord recognized that voice. He turned and flew towards the voice.

He then found the Superior Demon and held her in his arms. Or was she previously.

"Hey, wake up. I can't sense the Oni Champion anymore." he said, shaking her.

"What...?" the Superior Demon blinked and see a Hellkin with golden eyes. "Oh...you evolved."

"Yeah, so did you. You did it. You killed the Oni Champion. Do you know what this means?" The Demon Lord smiled wickedly.

*Nyurrr...*

Space began to warp and black flames circled around and 10 more appeared as well. The two Hellkins looked to see the portals forming.

"That's a lot of portals...did you do this?" the Archdemon asked.

"I don't know...but it must be from me becoming a Demon Lord." the Demon Lord said.

Multiple figures walks out of the portal in front of them and see multiple Archdemons appear in front of them due to their silver eyes.

"We have sensed the presence of a Demon Lord." one of the Archdemons said.

"That is me." he said, pointing himself. The Archdemon beside him held his arm to show that she is with him.

"Then..." the Archdemons knelt before him. "We hereby serve under your command, Demon Lord."

The ten Archdemons knelt before him, declaring their loyalty to the newly evolved Demon Lord. He smiled at the sight that it was seen that he was waiting for this moment.

"Then you all know what this means, right?" the Demon Lord said, smiling devilishly. "We shall bring destruction across the world! There will be blood, screams, and despair! We're gonna recreate the Demonic Age again!"

The Archdemons smiled, some even cheered at the declaration. The female Archdemon beside him looked at him with excitement and closed her eyes to kiss.

Just when he was about to kiss as well...

*THOOOM!!!*

An explosion rang out in the middle of the group of Archdemons. The two Hellkins that were away from them are startled and look at the plume of dust.

The Demon Lord then sensed something that he would not want to sense.

It's me.

"This feeling...no...it can't be!" the Demon Lord yelled.

"Hahaha! Damn straight you know who it is." I said.

*SWOOOSH!!*

I swung my halberd with great force as to scatter the dust and dirt. I see the Demon Lord, donning the golden eyes and the woman who is now a Archdemon.

I am shown with bigger muscles, a meaner look, and my horns now have 5 sharp edges and are colored crimson instead of red.

So he's in the Catastrophe class right now, huh? Then I better stop playing around then.

"You...you should've died in that explosion! You couldn't have survived!" the Demon Lord yelled.

"Breaking news, buddy. I lived. And you're right about one thing..." I said, pointing at him. "That there will be blood, screams, and despair."

I raised my foot and stomped down on a Archdemon that was beneath me, turning the head into red paste.

*SPLOORRK!!*

And used Lightning Magic to fry the bitch from raw to well done.

*KZOOOOWW!!*

[V rank target slain. 1,000,000 EP acquired.]

"Two hits? An Archdemon killed in two hits?!" one of the Archdemons' voice trembled.

Since I am facing Archdemons and a Demon Lord, I shouldn't play around anymore. The Demon Lord gritted his teeth and began fighting.

"KIIILLL HIIIMM!!!" The Demon Lord roared with rage in his eyes that I am a persistent bug that refused to die. The Archdemons rushed towards me with their claws and magic.

*Chk!*

*Wrooooh!*

I imbued my Crimson Maelstrom with my own Blood Art and spun my weapon with blistering speed, creating a cyclone of blood.

*Byuoooom!*

*SLASH!* *SLASH!* *SLASH!* *SLASH!* *SLASH!*

"Aaaarrgh!" The Archdemons screamed in pain as they've suffered deep cuts in their arms, legs, and even their chests.

"That was Blood Arts...! How can an Oni wield Blood Arts!?"

"Arrgh! My wounds aren't healing!"

The Archdemons writhe in pain, not because of Light or Holy Magic. It was one of the skills, Scarring that slows Regeneration, or even stop it.

The female Archdemon knew that she must use every minion she hypnotized to focus on me.

"Forget the other tribes, I'm using all my minions and power on this Oni Warlord. He's our biggest threat." the female Archdemon said.

I jumped on a single Archdemon's chest and dropped it on his left arm.

*Stab!*

"Ack!" he yelled in pain, but he retaliated by using magic. A black fireball appeared on his right hand. "Inferno--!"

"How about no?" I interrupted, by grabbing his wrist. I then gave a huge pull.

*RRRIIIP!!*

I ripped his arm off in one attempt, spewing blood like a fountain.

"AAAAAAGH!! MY ARRMM!! YOU...YOU BASTARD!! I'LL KILL YOU, KILL YOU!!!" The Archdemon screamed in pain, threatening and cursing me.

As I reached to grabbed his other arm, the Demon Lord can no longer stay still.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!" The Demon Lord roared and flew towards me, leaving a plume of dust behind him, he covered himself with Demon Lord Aura. I turned around and imbued my fist with my Tyrant Aura, and responded with with a punch.

*KRAK-KOOOOOM!!*

Our punches collided, causing an explosion which releases waves of aura and wind around us. The Archdemons were blown back.

The Demon Lord was shocked that I was able to match his strength with my Aura fist.

"No way...he can match the strength of a Demon Lord!?" one of the Archdemons said.

I grabbed the Demon Lord's arm and pulled him towards me so I can do a headbutt again.

*Thok!*

However, the Demon Lord struck my forehead with his knee, knocking my head back. I still held on his arm and raised my halberd to slice him.

*Slash!*

*Clang!*

A Wind Blade severed my hand that was holding the halberd, dropping it.

[Warning! Your right hand has been severed!]

[Damage detected, now regenerating...]

I looked at where the blade came from and it was a Female Archdemon who used Wind Magic.

*Thwack!*

Another Archdemon punched me across the face. Then more of the Archdemons swarm me with magic. Fire, Ice, Earth, and Dark Magic. The Demon Lord also started hitting me with multiple punches.

I grinned viciously and gave the Demon Lord the uppercut to the chin.

*BOOM!!*

He was sent to the air and I punched him in the gut.

*WHUMP!!!*

The Demon Lord flew backwards, knocking him away from the crowd.

"Die you bastard!" one of the Archdemon who is wielding a mace.

I turned and stabbed an Archdemon in the eye with one of my exposed bone.

*Spluch!*

"Gyaaah!"

The fifth Archdemon screamed as I gouged his eye out with my exposed bone, staggering him back. I then grabbed his mace and threw it at the female Archdemon who used Wind Magic.

*WHUNK!!*

The mace head struck her in the abdomen, causing her to vomit a little bit of blood. I then grabbed the mace wielding Archdemon by the head and threw him to the ground.

*CRASH!!*

"They have arrived!" The staff wielding Archdemon has summoned all of her beasts that are under her influence and arrived at the scorched land.

Surrounded by Archdemons, hypnotized beasts, and now a Demon Lord is in the fray. This situation would bring any normal adventurer on their knees, wallowing in despair and hopelessness.

I smiled. It reminded me when me and Andre were getting jumped by a group of boys back in highschool in the afternoon. It was two against seven. I still remember the words I said after I took down one of their cronies.

"COME ON! COME CATCH THESE HANDS, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!" I roared, thirsting for battle. My roar echoed throughout the area and into the forest. My roar also caused a shockwave that not only blew them away, it also scared them.

[Bloodlust activated.]

[Tyrant Spirit activated.]

[Berserker activated.]

*GWOOOOHH!!*

My aura gives off a dark purple, red flame accompanied by gold lightning. My aura reached 20 feet high and suppressing the beasts.

"That aura...this is exclusive to those who slain a hero!" the Demon Lord yelled.

"Damn straight. It's the Tyrant Spirit." I said with a wicked smile.

"Then, you should be with us! The Heroes who slew monsters that threaten the world wind up being abandoned by the people and even betrayed by their own comrades!" The Demon Lord said. "The heroes soon turn to us for their vengeance and become a much more bigger threat than the monsters!"

"I fail to see where that's MY problem." I said. Although the manga I have read includes heroes being betrayed, abandoned, and soon enact revenge. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a hero that gets betrayed and the hero can be morally corrupt too.

In the end, I am just an outsider. An outsider who doesn't belong here, but it doesn't mean I can't leave my mark now can I?

"And let me tell you this..." I said.

*Fwooom!*

I used Kibuki to create the same halberd I am holding, it emitted a burning red and white flame.

"This world AIN'T yours to take!"
