CHAPTER 17: SHATTERED BALANCE.

As soon as the new hero was summoned the balance of the world shattered.

To say that a fierce battle between the human and the demon race began without a warning was an underestimation to what actually unfolded.

The day the new hero descended, he forced one of the most powerful supreme demon monarch into a strange contract, one that enslaved the demon monarch to heed the hero's command.

"Kill them all." Was what the new Hero had said.

Controlled by the force of the contract between them the demon monarch was the hero's tool through which almost all the demons gathered at the land of the lesser race was slaughtered mercilessly.

Rain, the new hero, stood there in silence as he watched his contracted demon kill his own race.

Even though the demon monarch screamed, trying his best to resist, everytime the new hero gave his command, the demon monarch had to obey. The control over his body was gone and it no longer belonged to the monarch himself.

This was the scene that awaited when the mutants arrived at the location where their new hero had ascended.

Dumbfounded by the scene of the Supreme Demon monarch slaughtering his own kind and the silent gaze of the new hero as he watched the entire thing as if he was looking at a play made their spine shiver with awe and terror.

The king and his people bowed their head before their new hero.

"We are here to welcome you, our new hero! Greetings from me and my fellow people, King Eath, the reigning king of the mutants."

Rain glanced at the humans of this world. They were called Mutants.

"Rain. That's my name."

"Hero Rain." King Eath repeated his name.

Rain glanced at him. "Just Rain." He spoke in a demanding voice. Making it clear that they call him Only Rain.

The king and the others were surprised by the demeanor of their new hero. Just Rain? It was a custom to add the title Hero with the hero's given name.

"Please excuse us for interrupting but, He... Rain, we need to move to the palace soon before more demons plague this place. They will surely gather here to hunt you down, including us." King Eath was still worried about being surrounded by the Demon race. They could not effort to let any kind of harm come on their New Hero's way.

A low chuckle was heard.

"Hunt me down you say?" Rain beamed a contagious smile. "Why should we wait here when we can be the one to attack first?"

WHATT???

Everyone was shocked by his next words.

"Let's go and hunt down the demons that are on their way to gang up on us. Shall we?"

"But...." King Eath tried to reason with Rain however he was cut off by him.

"Ah. Right. I guess my contracted demon and I will suffice to deal with them so stay here instead and watch the show. When I am done, I will teach you all a very cool way to control demons."

Contracted demon? To control the demons?

King Eath was gravely astounded by Rain's words.

However even before he got the chance to inquire about it their Hero has already left.

The supreme demon monarch followed Rain as he let out screams of terror.

What was left behind with the mutants was a dreadful sight of demons lying in cold death bed of blood.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU LOWLY MUTANT. HOW DARE YOU....UHHMPPPP!" The supreme Demon monarch lost his will of free speech when Rain looked back at him.

His demonic eyes widened when the newborn hero who had humiliated him flashed a wicked smile.

"Right. Giving you a name will strengthen the chains binding you to me." Smiled Rain cunningly.

"Roxo."

When Rain chanted that name the supreme demon monarch who was just named Roxo, shivered, knowing that his soul which was almost being strangled by the invisible chains had tightened around him.

The chains were stronger than ever.

"Now, you will make a perfect puppet. Roxo." Smiled Rain innocently. He waved his hand. At his command Roxo dove forward, his hands clenched in a fist, ready to kill his fellow demons that were closing on them.

Thereafter, a one sided massacre began.

"!!!!"

King Eath and the rest watched the scene in silence as they saw the sky painted in blood.

The show their new hero had prepared was perhaps too much for some.

Yet the terror and the awe they felt was indescribable.

They watched the supreme demon monarch kill off every single demon approaching Rain.

It was an overbearing sight to behold.

"What in the world is he?" King Eath could only gasped as he stood like other bystander.

During this time, in the capital city of the fairies, Cindy, the holy saint rushed towards the balcony. Her ruby like red eyes glowed intensely as she stared at the distant expanse of the sky.

"Oh my god." She uttered staring into the sky.

"The balance....." It was shattering.
