Jay stood before a massive, dark, and terrifying Demon Castle, his eyes scanning the looming structure. He muttered to himself,
"Such a huge part of Hell… how did it even get here?"
Suddenly, a demon emerged from the castle gates. Its eyes locked on Jay as it spoke,
"So… you are Jay?"
Jay smirked faintly, his voice calm but filled with authority,
"You demons are foolish… Death stands before you, and yet you ask, 'Are you Jay?'"
The demon roared in anger and raised its fist to strike—but in the blink of an eye, Jay swung Soulrender Sword, decapitating it instantly.
Thousands of demons began to surround him. Jay grinned,
"Perfect… the more, the stronger I become."
He summoned his Blood Army. A crimson wave of soldiers surged around him, and the battlefield erupted into chaos.
Demons fell one by one as Jay carved a path toward the castle gates. Once there, he recalled his Blood Army and stepped inside the castle alone.
On the 3rd floor, Jay spotted Dhruv, struggling against a horde of demons. Without hesitation, Jay leapt behind him, shouting,
"Summon Blood Army!"
The area was instantly bathed in red light as his army descended, protecting Dhruv from the incoming onslaught.
Dhruv looked up, stunned.
"Who… who is doing this? Such incredible power…"
Jay remained silent, stepping forward.
Dhruv whispered,
"This is no ordinary human… this energy… it's overwhelming."
Jay spoke calmly,
"Dhruv, would you like to come with me?"
Dhruv nodded,
"Yes… I will help you."
Jay smiled slightly but shook his head.
"Not help… if you come with me, things will only get harder. Go back."
Reluctantly, Dhruv hesitated, then bowed slightly and departed.
Jay pressed onward, slicing through demons floor by floor, reaching the 7th floor.
There, in the darkness, a terrifying Demon Commander awaited him.
The Commander's voice echoed, deep and menacing,
"I've been waiting for you… half-demon blooded human."
The air grew thick with dark energy as Jay prepared himself. The battle for the upper floors was about to begin.
Chapter 12 ends with a dark aura exploding around Jay, and intense background music fills the scene.
