"The Demon Lord Zephyr is dead!"

"Humanity has won! Humanity has won!"

"Another victory for humanity"

"We have conquered one of the four calamities. The rest will fall as well!"

"This is the might of humanity"

A resounding voice echoed pharaonical across the air. Sounds of swords clanging erupted afterwards.

The cheers of humanity engulfed the air.

It's nightfall, the cinders of the chaos that had befallen this land soared through the sky. Ashes engulfed the air.

Bodies littered the ground, drenched in their own pool of bloods. The atmosphere reeked of the dead.

The fervent wind blew, scattering dusts and wet leaves into the air.

A downpour occured, soaking their armors wet but the cold wasn't enough to waver their determination.

Their zeal to hunt down one of the four calamities.

And to hunt him down, the Western States had to join hands together, a coalition of players sent to hunt him down.

This is the result of the chaotic battle.

A noble price to pay for victory.

"We're here for a reason, we fought for a reason…..our brothers died for a reason, and we have accomplished that reason"

"Humanity has suffered a great deal at the hands of this filthy demons"

"We have been terrorized by the gates of Hell and it's inhabitants. Now we have enacted our revenge"

"Tonight, we have slain a Demon Lord"

"This is the true might of humanity" His voice echoed, standing amongst the crowd, clad in velvet colored cloak.

He held a lamp. His dressings depicts his occupation.

One could tell he's a priest.

A servant of the Luminious goddess of the Earth and one of the leading figures of this subjugation party.

Priest Karnark of the Romundia Kingdom.

Priest Karnark enveloped himself with radiating Starlight Energy. He made his approach, advancing towards the corpse.

Out of five thousand awakened players sent for this subjugation mission. Only three hundred remained.

The rest were slaughtered, they witnessed the horrors of a Demon Lord.

They circulated the scene, all equipped with their enchanted weapons, Priest Karnark got closer to the dead body.

Raising his lamp into the air.

He caused the darkness to vanish, enveloping the air with the brightness of his lamp.

And before him laid the corpse of the Demon Lord Zephyr.

Drenched in his own pool of bloods and with a vast hole displayed on his chest. Priest Karnark wore a grin.

Confirming the death of the Demon Lord.

He giggled softly.

Even though he's the leader of the subjugation team, he wasn't the one who landed the finishing blow that killed the Demon Lord.

It was the S-ranked Players sent ahead.

A squad of heroes known as the five fingers.

The five fingers already left the scene, leaving the dead body of the Demon Lord in the hands of the subjugation players.

Priest Karnark brought down his lamp.

"Tonight, we feast and celebrate the death of the Demon Lord Zephyr. Tonight, we go to bed and lay with our wives"

"Tonight, we dine and wine together. We gift each other and bless each other"

"We have taken down a calamity"

"Tonight. We…." Priest Karnark couldn't complete his statement when a loud growl erupted.

He was left in a puzzled state.

And the uprising tension soared through the sky.

"Tch"

A growl erupted.

"What the hell is going on? Shouldn't I have been cured already? Shouldn't my death cure it?"

"Why was I reborn with Schizophrenia?"

His voice uproared, slowly opening his eyes. He could see himself covered in blood, his half lidded gaze widened.

And the blurriness in his eyes vanished.

There was reticence in the air.

He slowly got up from the ground, slowly taking off his blood dripped T-shirt, his headache caused his eyes to twitch.

Standing before him was a stupefied mortal man.

His body emanated divine Starlight Energy.

His brows furrowed.

"Who are you?" He questioned.

Priest Karnark staggered back, his eyes etched with fear. He dropped his burning lamp on the ground.

His hands quivered.

"Huh? Why is he moving back? I only asked him a question?" He thought, still stunned by the action of Priest Karnark.

He tilted his head, facing the puzzled crowd.

He could see each of them were armed with weapons only seen during the medieval era.

"Im….imp….impossible….The Demon Lord is alive!!" Priest Karnark screamed out loud.

Fear gripped the crowd.

And tension skyrocketed through the ungodly hour of the night.

He scratched his hair, he slowly started remembering everything.

"The fact that they are all engulfed in fear, does that mean i really did reincarnate? Wasn't it all a dream?"

He asked himself.

"Did I reincarnated into the body of a Demon Lord?" He asked himself once again, gently observing his shirtless body.

The hole on his chest already healed him.

He stared at his hands when he saw the demonic claws which sprouted out from his fingers. He squinted his eyes.

He lifted his head, facing the direction of the frightened Priest Karnark.

"Hey you" He called out.

"Me?" Priest Karnark asked, pointing at himself with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, you….who do you think I'm talking to?" He asked.

He took a step forward, slowly approaching Priest Karnark.

Priest Karnark staggered back, he collapsed on the ground, hitting his butt on the ground as he quivered in fear.

Despite the Demon Lord moving without having eluding any intimidating prowess. His existence is already intimidating.

Priest Karnark skipped a beat.

And before him stood the Demon Lord of Dreams and Nightmares.

"I ain't even trying to intimidate you and you're already scared huh? I have no intentions of killing you…"

"So answer my question. What's my name?" He asked.

Priest Karnark had a puzzled look on his face.

"Huh?" Priest Karnark voiced out.

"Did I stutter?" He asked.

"No…no…no…not at all, your name is Demon Lord Zephyr Dreaming. Demon Lord of Dreams and Nightmares"

"Architect of the Shadows"

Priest Karnark answered.

And a lopsided grin escaped the lips of that man.

"The Demon Lord Zephyr Dreaming huh? Once upon a time, I was Craig Humphrey, now I'm a cool-ass demon lord"

"Well if I can evaluate the situation. I'm being hunted right?" He asked.

"Y…y…yes….not only did we hunt you down, we also did kill you" Priest Karnark said.

"I'm aware of that. Thanks to that, I'm here"

"I'll be letting you guys off today so pack your shits and leave this place. I'm not in the mood to fight"

He stated.

Slowly turning his back on Priest Karnark, he started walking out of the scene, entering into the darkness.

For a few minutes, there was no movements.

No sound made, no one dared to move an inch as they watched.

A few players approached the Priest Karnark.

"Priest Karnark, the five fingers left awhile ago. What should we do about the Demon Lord?" A player whispered.

Priest Karnark cleared his throat.

He regained his balance, staring at the Demon Lord. 

His eyes squinted.

"I'm sure the Demon Lord is weak, if he wasn't weak. He would have simply killed all of us right now"

"Since he's weak, we don't need to wait for the five fingers again. Let's kill him right here and now" Priest Karnark stated.

He gave the order.

At the command of Priest Karnark, they charged forward, aiming to jump the weakened Demon Lord.

They released their Starlight Energy.

Activating their Authority.

But in the presence of a Calamity. All Authorities becomes useless.

Within seconds, the entirety of the battlefield was engulfed in shadows.

And the eyes of the Demon Lord flickered as he slowly tilted his gaze.

Revealing the crimsoned light which emanates fervently.

{Demonic Shadow Authority: Fog of the Shadowed Grace}

The memories of the fallen Demon Lord Zephyr still remained alive in his mind. For some reasons, he knew how to use this powers.

A ghastly pressure erupted, crushing the bones of players who bare their fangs against him, He turned his gaze.

Crushing the players with his eroding essence.

Burning through their fleshes, they screamed out. He turned deaf ears to their pleas as he crushed their bones without moving an inch.

Priest Karnark who witnessed this horrors shivered.

He stayed on the ground, unable to move an inch.

"If i could recall, from what those mysterious guys said…."

"My only job is to remain alive until the very end of the game right?"

"I must be a final boss or something" He muttered.

Walking through the crowd of dying players who fell prey to the pressure of his demonic might.

He halted his movement, glaring directly into the eyes of Priest Karnark.

"I have no idea what the Hades Project is, I just newly spawned into this world overpowered"

"I haven't gotten used to this world yet and I want to live a normal life"

"To eat and sleep however I want to"

"If you're going to be an hindrance to this slothful plan of mine. I should take care of you this instant"

He whispered.

He grabbed the chin of the quivering Priest Karnark, staring into the fearful eyes of the Priest.

"Plea…plea…please don't kill me" Priest Karnark pleaded with tears flowing down his cheeks.

His eyes squinted.

{Demonc Shadow Authority: E'l Shatterozi}

Screeches echoed and beneath their feets exist the entrance of a shadowed domain. A space filled with terror.

Priest Karnark was dragged into a shadowed world, his screams echoed as he was devoured by the creatures dwelling beneath the shadowed domain.

There was nothing left of him.

Not even his living essence..
