《DOPEMAN》King Of The Demons, Part 2
Advertisement
I follow the small dude into the eastern path. On the way to the prisoner camp, we see a small group of Demons. We hid behind a rock, scouting out the four monsters. Once again, the Demons had spears and plenty of armor on their bodies. I look over to the Ant. "You need a weapon. We're gonna attack those dudes over there."
He made a face. "And how would we do that? Not like I have a weapon now."
I pick up a medium-sized rock and hand it to him. "Good luck!" I charge into the man, lugging my ax into its neck. The other one runs after and bashes the Demon in the head with the sharp rock, making the other fall with a massive gash in its head. The short fellow would then got up and charged the other monster, mounting him and bashing its head in ruthlessly. Seems like he was attempting to get his anger out. One was trying to stab the man in the back, but I was able to prevent it by chopping at the leg. It gushed green as it fell, and I finished it off with a swing to the dome. Once all the creatures fell dead, I grab a spear. "Here's your weapon. You're welcome."
He grabbed the spear and slowly inspected it, checking how sharp it was. "This might be enough."
I noticed the bodies are unlooted. "Pick up the armor, too."
"Ew, you expect me to put that on? That's weird."
I pass him the armor. "Beggars can't be choosers."
Ant reluctantly equipped the pieces, getting ready for the battle ahead of us.
We went into the eastern side, seeing the prisons a lot more. Eventually, I see the trail of prisons, men and women held captive, waiting for sacrifice. Of course, these people are no longer alive. They were brutally stabbed. It was a blood bath in those cells. The inside of the cells had markers. I assume it means danger or something. "These people are dead..." I mumbled, horrified of the events on this trail.

"Yup," Ant says. "These are just the ones who resisted. They tried to rebel just like you, and it ended in failure."
I shook my head, angered by the sight of more of the dead in this cruel place. "How did you end up at the front?"
"Uhh...I guess they didn't consider me worthy? I don't know. Nor do I care. Shh! My boys are in those cells."
I see a lot of my former opponents in cells, waiting. In my sights, I see the Samurai behind bars, walking. He looked on with anger. I see a lot of Demons guarding the area. I saw enough. "Here's the plan. We go in, kill, open up the cells, and have them run. Sound good?"
He noded.
"It's showtime!" I run down the trail, kicking up the plasma and cutting a head clean off. I move out of the way of the two spears from two Demons and break them with my feet. I drive my ax in one of their chests and kill the other with a blade in its neck. My face got stained with green as I pulled away. I retrieved my ax as three more came up to me. I trusted the spear tipped end into the monster's stomach, I get stabbed in my right arm by one. The other comes from behind, but I pull that spear up, jump to kick the one behind me, and shanked the beast on my right in the throat multiple times. It dropped dead. I gave it a kick for good measure. I looked over, seeing Mobly doing his thing once he freed his friend.
The Ant drove his spear right in his throat and the Samurai picked up a club to bash a lizard's head in. They're a good duo, fighting and killing plenty of the Demons. They take turns cutting down the opponents as quickly as possible. I run and use the distractions as an opportunity to free the rest of the prisoners there. It soon turns to a full-on riot, with the prisoners brawling with the Desert Demons. So much for the quiet approach. It was so loud, it had to echo the entire canyon. I join the fight, using my ax to claim some heads myself. I was cutting and getting cut myself in the heavy contest of the brawl. After the fight, I see all the prisoners, arming themselves with the corpses of their enemies. I climb up to a platform to see one last cell. I break it open to see another man, sitting down. He was weak, so I helped him up. "Geez, how long you've been in there?"

"Months." He simply answers. He had a bit of a gruff voice to him. He was older, of course.
"Geez...How did you survive for so long?"
The stranger coughs and grabs a stick for help. His face was hidden with a hood. "They forget us sometimes. They just throw raw meat at us. These monsters keep no records or tapes. They just take and kill."
I sigh as he limps around. "Say, did you happen to see a blonde girl around here?"
He shakes his head. "Your best chances are the western trail, but that's all I know. But there will be a lot of resistance over there. Especially after what you did here."
I walk to the edge, seeing the masses of prisoners. All of them were angry and confused about what to do. They didn't want to run into the unknown again. "I'm gonna need help. YO!"
The prisoners turn to me. I put my hands out. "I'm not gonna lie to you, This is dangerous. You can leave, wander the desert till the hunger gets ya, or you can take revenge on these monsters! You can RISE UP! BECOME THE DEMON SLAYERS!"
The men yell, putting their weapons up to pledge their arms to me. "DOPEMAN! DOPEMAN! DOPEMAN!"
"Good! Now...LET'S BUST SOME HEADS!"

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
