The battlefield, shrouded in darkness, trembled under an unseen pressure.
Reality itself seemed to crack— the sky splitting apart, the ground quaking, the air so heavy it felt like the world could collapse at any moment.
The Demon General slowly raised his head…
But he was no longer the same being.
His eyes had turned into pure darkness—an endless void lurking within. The energy pouring out of his body twisted everything around him.
Then, a deep, cold voice echoed—
"Finally… I am free."
I stared at him without moving.
"So… you're the Demon King?"
He let out a faint smile— but there was no warmth in it, only destruction.
"Demon King…?" he said slowly, "No… I am something beyond that."
In the next instant—
He appeared right in front of me.
This time… I felt it.
That speed— was on an entirely different level.
His fist slammed straight into my chest.
BOOM!!
For the first time—
My body was pushed back several steps.
The ground beneath my feet shattered.
