[Verdantia – Burned Lands of the Old Castle]
The sky was no longer just dark.
It was bleeding.
Red, black, and fractured — the clouds twisted above the ruins as if the world itself was afraid to breathe.
At the center of it all, the Demon King stood motionless, eyes glowing like two suns trapped in shadow.
And far in the distance… Ashura's banners approached.
⚔️ Ashura Sends Everything
Not scouts.Not messengers.
But their full army.
Ten thousand soldiers.One thousand elite mages.And behind them — war beasts, cursed champions, high-level relic weapons never seen before.
This time, they didn't come to test him.
They came to erase him.
"No mistakes," Ashura's general growled.
"We seal him now — or we fall."
🌪️ But He Was Already Moving
The moment the first spell was cast — the Demon King vanished.
He reappeared in the middle of their ranks.
And the world exploded.
🔥 The Battle the World Will Remember
They tried everything.
🔹 Binding chains woven from ancient scripture — turned to dust before touching his skin.
🔹 Elite barrier formations — shattered the moment his foot stepped forward.
🔹 Elemental bombardment — fire, lightning, earth, wind — consumed into his core and thrown back tenfold.
Every mage that attacked saw their spells reflect, rebound, or implode in their hands.
Soldiers couldn't move.
Some never even screamed — their lives vanished in a flash of heat and black light.
😈 And He Didn't Stop
"Every second I'm here…"
"They could be in danger."
"I'm not letting this drag out."
He cut through divisions like paper.Tore through elites like they weren't trained at all.
For every ten they sent — a thousand died in his wake.
And worst of all?
He didn't even raise a weapon.
He was the weapon.
🌍 The World Watched
From every continent, archmages, nobles, warriors, kings — all sensed the battle.
What was supposed to be Ashura's final strike…
…was now a massacre.
"This isn't a war," one king whispered in terror.
"This is extinction."
🩸 Ashura's Final Line Fails
At the gates of the Ashura Dominion's capital, their last thousand mages stood ready.
They were the best.
The ones who sealed him once.
Twice as many as before.
Armed with forbidden relics and layered in enchanted armor.
He reached them…
And with a single wordless scream — the world cracked.
All of them — gone.
The ground beneath the capital split open.
The sky broke like glass.
The capital city turned into a black crater.
👁️ Ashura Had No Answer
There was nothing left to fight him with.
Not spells.
Not relics.
Not hope.
The Demon King had stopped being a man.
He was now a force of nature.
And nature had remembered what was stolen from it.
