《Beyond The Worlds[BTW]》Ch 23: The beginning of the final battle

"'Eye of Saturn' reveals everything that happened at that time." When Dreyfus got his wish, a giant screen showed various events of the time.
-
"We finally acquired the artifact." The Dragon King smiled happily.
"We can share wishes equally-" the Emperor of Boryoku couldn't finish his words, because a hand went through his heart.
"You… how… why?" The emperor fell to the ground dead.
"You are no longer useful. Thank you for offering the human cattle." The Dragon King slew the Emperor without any remorse. To him, dragons were superior to mere humans. After killing the Emperor, he looked at the seer and said, "We will close the deal. The first wish will be made by me."
"All right." The woman replied.
"Good." The Dragon King used various magical materials to fuel the artifact's energy.
"My wish is-"
*BOOMM!*
Before finishing his words, the artifact emitted a burst of mana and headed somewhere with a very fast speed. The dragon king and the seer were in shock and tried to chase the artifact. Soon, they arrived on an island. On this island, the artifact stood at its center and conveyed a message about the tournament for thousands of years. Only then did they realize that the "Eye of Saturn" was a living artifact. The Dragon King and the seer were enraged and tried to recover the artifact by force, but only failed attempts. The artifact even caused injuries to them. After that, they decided to win the artifact in the so-called "Tournament".
For the Dragon King and the seer, this tournament was not to fulfill the wish of the younger generation.
-
"This…" Tiana didn't know what to say right now. Everyone who saw what happened was outraged. The other powers present also looked at the Dragon King with contempt. Everyone in this place has been deceived all this time.
"Hahahaha." Dreyfus began to laugh.
"Dreyfus, I will kill you!" The Dragon King was completely furious and decided to attack Dreyfus at this point.
"You incompetent King, I'm going to make your grave on this island today. Not just yours, everyone here! I'm going to kill you all!" Dreyfus began to chant a bizarre spell. The space portal above the island began to emit terrifying magical fluctuations. When people looked at the space gate, they saw that it had creatures coming out.

"Are these… demons? But it feels different." Tiana looked at the demons that exited the portal. The demons that came out of the portal had many different shapes, some looked like giant bats, others had only bodies but no facial features. However, when everyone looked at the 6 humanoid demons that appeared, everyone got goosebumps.
'Very strong.' The 6 humanoid demons were very strong. They had giant bat wings, their skin was completely gray, long horns on their foreheads and reddened eyes.
The Dragon King who tried to attack Dreyfus was suddenly kicked. And he crashed into the island floor.
*BOOMM!*
"Looks like we have a gecko a little stronger than the rest here." The demon that kicked The Dragon King said.
"You bastard!" The Dragon King rose with an angry expression.
"Shut up." The demon made several black blades and pierced the Dragon King's body.
"Ahhhh!" The Dragon King screamed in pain. "I'll kill you!" He released a burst of mana and flew towards the demon. The Dragon King launched a string of mighty punches, but all were dodged. He then launched several beams of flame towards the demon. The demon created a dark shield and blocked his attacks, then he moved forward and launched attacks against the Dragon King. The Dragon King blocked the attacks, but the demon created a ball of dark energy on his finger and hit the Dragon King in his stomach.
"Ah!" The Dragon King was thrown hundreds of meters away. His stomach was pierced by the demon's energy attack.
"You should die in silence-"
*BAM!*
"AHH!!" The demon was suddenly hit and thrown hundreds of meters away.
*BOOMM!*
It crashed into the ground causing a gigantic crater. He got up with a pained expression and looked at the person who had hit him.
"Hahaha. Finally the "final boss" has appeared." Mari gave a happy smile. She looked at the demon and said, "You should call someone else, or you might end up dying."
"You…" The demon looked at Mari who was mocking him and got annoyed. " I'll kill you!" He got up and walked towards Mari.

"Come!" Mari took her sword and fired at the demon.
-
It wasn't just Mari who was fighting a demon, many people on the island were. The bat demons and the faceless ones began to attack the participants and spectators.
"Airin! Alvin!" Tiana screamed her children's names. The moment the demons appeared, Tiana came running to save them both. The demons were infesting the entire island, so it would be dangerous to leave your children alone.
"Mom!" 2x
Alvin and Airin were very scared. The amount of demons was too high, they couldn't beat too many on their own.
"Come with me." Tiana tried to catch Airin and Alvin, but…
"Mom… behind you!" Airin said with an expression of fear.
"Which-"
*Slash!*
"AHH!" Tiana felt her back being cut by a blade, if she didn't react in time she would likely be cut in half.
"MOM!" Alvin and Airin yelled with worried expressions. Tiana turned and saw a humanoid demon in front of her. She knew she couldn't defeat this demon, but she wouldn't abandon her children.
"Alvin, Airin. Get out of here immediately!" Tiana wouldn't be able to protect them both if this demon decided to kill them.
"Mother, let's not leave her!" Airin yelled. She thought Tiana's request was absurd. Who would abandon their own mother?
"Stupid girl! You two will be a burden to me!" Tiana yelled.
"Mom…" Only then did they realize they were too weak now.
"Heh… it seems to me that you love your kids so much. I wonder what expression will you make when I kill them?" The demon said with a smile.
"Don't you dare!" Tiana hurled air gusts and tornadoes toward the demon. The demon dodged the attacks and fired beams of dark energy at Tiana. Tiana used the air element to fly and dodge the attacks, then she made giant air arrows and shot the demon. The two began exchanging blows in the air. However, Tiana realized that the wounds she inflicted on the demon would regenerate shortly thereafter.
"You're good, but your attacks can't kill me." The demon made a shield of dark energy and blocked Tiana's attacks, then a silver spear appeared in her hand. The demon darted toward Tiana. Tiana tried to stop the demon's onslaught by using the element of air to create a strong repulsive force, but the demon ignored it and continued advancing. Tiana tried to back away from the demon as she attacked, but her speed was slower than his.
"Give up." The demon attacked Tiana using his spear, he connected dozens of blows in just 1 attack and pierced Tiana's body several times. Tiana desperately tried to block the demon's attacks using barriers, but it was ineffective. The mana barriers she placed around her body couldn't stop the spear's attacks.
"Time to get this over with." The demon fused black magic into its spear and delivered a powerful blow to Tiana.
*BOOMM!*
"AHH!" Tiana was thrown tens of feet away, but she was still conscious.
"I'll kill them in front of you." The demon said as he looked at Airin and Alvin. Tiana desperately tried to get up, but her body was bound by dark chains. The demon stood in front of Alvin and Airin, a scary smile on his face.
"NOT!" Tiana desperately tried to free herself from the chains, but she didn't have the strength. "STOP!"
-
Shin stood up and looked in a certain direction. He made an archer stance and created an arrow of light between her fingers. The arrow emitted gigantic ripples of mana.
"What will you do?" Aka asked with a confused expression. She still hadn't left Shin's side since that moment, because she felt safe when she was with him.
Shin didn't answer Aka and fired the arrow in the intended direction.
*BOOMM!*
The arrow fired at hypersonic speed, causing trails of destruction wherever it went. When the arrow disappeared from his view, he thought again about what to do now.
