Blood dripped to the ground as matthew's body was filled with wound's and cut's.

Pant *

Pant *

It was an intense thirty minutes of sword fighting as he desperately fight with all his might.

Swish*

Swoosh*

Trsshh*

The shadow knight dagger user swifly dodge matthew's attack's with minimal effort.

( His slashes are not even half as fast and strong as they were an hour ago. )

( His completely worn out. ) She thought .

On the other hand matthew was still determined to win.

( Must win.. )

( Protect.. )

( must Protect.. )

Flashes of the highpriest taking in matthew. Giving him food shelter

And raising him like his own.

" I MUST WIN " Matthew let out the last bit of his strength.

[ Concentrated Strike ] Tier - 4 Skill.

Launching himself to the shadow knight

While his whole body used every last bit of mana he had in storage.

The other shadow knights watch from a far. As they were confident they're companion would win the fight.

On the other hand the buffed shadow knight seemed to have something in her mind.

( Holy Knight Matthew. One of the most skillfull swordsman this continent has to offer. Its truly a shame it had to end this way. ) Letting out a sight.

Clang *

Matthew and the shadow knight collided

As dust was scattered though out the battle field.

Thus revealing a dagger across matthew's stomach.

( I failed.. ) his last thought before falling to his adversary. However he was still conciousness.

Cough* he cough as the shadow knight layed him down as she pulled her dagger of his stomach.

The shadow knight dagger stopped for a brief moment appreciating the good fight.

" It was a great fight. If i was fighting in a one on one i would have certainly lost. "

The shadow knight with daggers commented to the dying matthew.

" HeHe never thought i would lost to a woman. " Matthew commented realizing his openent was a woman as he heard her voice.

" Hmp " the shadow knight snorted.

Matthew then took a glance at his mentor the person who he viewed as his father one last time.

" Forgive me mentor i have failed you. "

He said as tears came running down his eyes.

Hearing his words the highpriest lost his last hopes of living.

He approached his last desciple and knelt down.

" You have fought well. I guess it is time for this old bag of bones to rest. " High priest as he took his fingers to close matthew's eyes.

However he was surprised. As Matthew grabbed his hand. Stopping him.

" I wanna die like a man.. " he said gathering the last bit of his strength standing his ground as blood escaped

His body.

" Matthew... " The highpriest mumbled.

The shadow knight's respect for this man grew even more.

" Please. I wanna see the face of the people that bested me. " He pleaded struggling to stand.

The three was hesitant as they looked at they're big sister for confirmation.

The shadow knight's decided honored his final request. Normally the shadow knights arent allowed to even speak during mission's as they're identity is very well hidden.

But this time shall be an exception as they at least owed matthew for the unfair fight.

This show's how much they respect the holy knight.

Taking off their mask revealing they're faces before matthew and the highpriest.

Matthew took a moment before letting out a smile that would melt any maiden's heart.

" I would definitely smash " he said before falling to the ground.

He has lost conciousness but soon will lose his life due to blood lost.

On the other hand the marksman shadow knight pointed her gun at the high priest.

" May i ask a question " the high priest asked.

" You may not "

BANG*

his head exploded from his body as he layed besides his favorite desciple.

The only reason we did not kill you right away is beacause we respect your desciple and his effort's to protect you.

The team of four would cover any evidence of the fight and bury the bodies of the white robes desciple's, matthew and the high priest.

Meanwhile.

The heroes were seated in a large room it

Was arrange like a classroom as  the profesor known as kane started his class.

" The history of the world started way back a thousand years ago.

Back then the human race only ruled a small part of the world. This place was known as the " Eden ".

On the other hand races like Orc's,Ogres,Goblin's and Demi human prosper all around the world.

However there was one race that stood and dominated the world.

The creatures called them selfs as

" Demon's "

They're skin was harder than stone's

They're Fang's was sharper than knives.

Inteligence that rivaled human's.

The lifespan of an elf.

The craftyness of the Dwarves.

The demon's viewed them self as the most superior race. As they're Empire Was the strongest and the greatest at that point of time.

superior as they are the demon's had one bad quality thier big ego.

It was to the point that they demanded that every race must submit before them and whoever refused shall be destroyed.

Soon the other races Ogre's goblin's Lizardmen and Orc's Joined the Demon Empire as lackey's.

On the other hand humanity and elf's refused to be a colony for demons and serve them.

In response the demon's as well as the rest of the race's wage war against humanity and elf's.

Fortunetly for the elf's they're islands was isolated from the main land making them almost impossible to invade.

But that was not the full reason they were never invaded thanks to the being called " Dendron " an acient creature that inhabited the land of elf's since the creation of the world.

Thanks to the island separated from the main land and dendron's pressence the demon's never really grasped a big portion of the land of elf's.

" Eden " on the other hand was located

On the center of the continent making it vulnerable in all direction.

This eventually led to many defeats and losses and soon humanity was facing extinction.

No where was safe anymore as the elf's attempt's of aiding was thrown into the garbage can.

Eventualy the elf's gave up on aiding humanity and focused more on strengthening themself's.

Leaving humanity to fend for itself.

In a fit of desperation the old king of eden made contact with the cosmic beings who offered him salvation in something in return.

It was never revealed what the king offered in return but what they got in return was the turning point for humanity.

Two male humans came crashing from the sky. They claimed to be the savior of humanity as they wielded great power.

With they're power they were able to finnaly fight back against the demon empire.

However the Demon Emperor was not pleased with the news as he ordered his strongest men to capture and execute this two human's who defied his empire.

Arch Demon's was a title given to the strongest demon's in the Empire.

They were seven of them.

Wrath

Lust

Envy

Sloth

Gluttony

Greed

Pride

Each of this demon's ruled a portion of the empire and only followed the order's of the emperor.

But even they were defeated by the duo of heroes.

With this shocking news the Demon Emperor was force to sign a peace treaty.

Knowing full well that the human's will soon break the treaty the Demon Emperor created a Nuclear Mana Reactor.

Thinking that if demon's arent gonna rule this world then this world is meaningless.

" A sore loser i suppose "

The explotion was felt throughout the world as mana worldwide intenseify.

In certain parts of the world untouched by human's particles of mana started to gather leading to the birth of the dungeons.

" Ah let me elaborate "

Dungeons are living place's that absorb's anything that died. As long as the organism died in its territory then it will be serve as nutrition for the dungeon.

Dungeon also have the ability to recreate

The creatures that it absorb and make it do its bidding like attracting more prey for it to eat.

On the bright side these dungeon creatures cannot leave the dungeons territory as they would instantly die.

The only way to destroy or kill the dungeon is by destroying its core. Which is guarded by its strongest creature.

dungeon core's are very valueble in the market which let to many adventurer's jumping on dungeon expeditions.

Which never end well for them as they ended up too weak and fall to the dungeon never to be seen again only leaving they're items behind.

" Oh! Back to a thousand years ago "

The duo of heroes known as Carter and Merlin decided that it was for the best for the demon race to be eradicated in fear of one day history repeating itself.

On the other hand the follower's of the demon's Ogre's Goblin's and the other's were spared but was hatted by human's.

After twenty years the world was Demon Free meaning the demon race is no more. With the last of its kind slained by the duo.

With that the lesson of kane ended as he touched his glasses which was falling out a bit.

The heroes was amaze on how he was able to narrate all of that with such clarity that they were able to remember everyword.

( His damn good at his job ) philip thought.

( Good so demon's are extinct how convinient ) michael thought.

However one man in particular seemed to have something to ask.

" Yes william? "

" What are the heroes name's? "

Kane's eyes had a gleamy shine in it as he let out a smile.

" My, my i am getting older. "

" Merlin the greatest spellcaster. "

" Carter the greatest swordsaster. "
