The Last Demon King

Kingdom of Masah, forest of miracles.A place where a deadly fight was occurring, 12 days had passed, and the twelfth night was approaching, but still, the energy of that place did not allow the sky to grow dark.Around what would be the most beautiful flowers in that magical kingdom, one saw only bodies fallen on the ground, both human and grotesque creatures.

It had been days since they were there, inert, but they did not decay, they were preserved by the mana that the combat generated, and who was fighting then?

A blonde-haired woman, with golden armor that suited her body, along with a sword twice her size.

And on the other side, the figure of a man, being 4 meters tall, holding a distorted blade, everything about him evoked shadow and darkness, his face was covered by a mask full of disordered and meaningless lines, surely, there was no longer a human face underneath.

Evil against good, light against darkness."This has gone too far, Lúcifer!" the woman said, sweat and blood running from her head. "You also know there's no way to win, you're exhausted!"

"Don't tell me what I know or don't know, legendary heroine." - he took firm steps, dragging the blade on the ground - "The demon king only surrenders when he finally disappears from this world!"

"The Goddess is on our side, and for all the men who have fallen" - the woman raised the blade high, making it shine even more - "I, Cydra, will bring the era of peace to humanity!"

Quickly, the swords clashed against each other, generating a powerful pressure that swept away any sign of structure that was there, the place that once had a beautiful castle, now only the concrete base remained, mixed with the plants that grew in those 24 days while the fight occurred, strengthened by mana.

Several shining blades emerged in the sky, and descended to impale the demon king, but he quickly moved his sword and deflected them all.

Cydra took advantage of this space to pressure him, attacking from the side.And the mere touch on his body generated a blinding explosion, a critical hit!"Even if you kill me, you know what awaits you, Cydra! You can't protect humanity forever!"

The demon king recovered, and invoked several shadowy figures with scythes, which danced around Cydra, cutting wherever he was, all his movements to dodge were by a thread.

Recovering her posture, she made a gesture as if holding a shield with her free hand and from this, a shield made of magic, of golden color, emerged, which no blade of those reapers could penetrate.

"Even if the demon king persists in being reborn, even if he brings even more misfortunes in the future... I will ensure that future generations will be strong enough to deal with him!" she said, determined.With a strong push, the shield expanded, and burned the figures until they turned to dust with its magic, even Lúcifer had been hit. And raising the blade, she sped off once more."I will end this era of darkness, Lúcifer!"And the demon king, stunned, realized too late when his head was no longer connected to his body.

Instantly the sky opened, and the stars became visible again, finally escaping from a darkness that always persisted."No matter how long it takes..." she said as she approached her adversary's head, "...humanity will one day discover how to end your darkness."

She spoke, even though she could no longer be heard, neither by Lúcifer, nor by anyone there.

"Goodbye, fifteenth demon king... be reborn again, and fall again."Sticking the blade into the ground, that was the result achieved by the last legendary heroine of the lands of Masah, the God who blessed humanity with life.Her tales spread throughout all lands, however distant they were, until finally, they reached the present day.

Where the imminent return of evil hovered in the minds of the most experienced of that era.

Times of peace, after all, come at a high price. And instead of seeking a new hero.Humans began then, to seek a new God.
