《The Isekai》Chapter 12: The last hope, The great war and The new beginning
Advertisement
I was decided to attack along with all the kingdoms and the demi-humans after reading the legend. The legend says that the demon lord has a special core as heart, made by a stone imbued with magic. The core could control the time and the space and that's is why the demon lord wasn't dead. The demon lord was always going back in time using his core but also sealing himself every time and waiting for his freedom. The things that his minions killed and destroyed were only amplifying the seal but without them it was weak. In the same page I read that a ritual was needed to finally break the seal and that he could be destroyed while he was sealed in the secret temple. After reading that, I thought that if I could get his core, I could change all what happened. It was risky because the demon lord has a great power and great skills in combat and also because I don't know where the temple is but I needed to try it.
So I went to the army and I entered as a hero in the front line. First in the army we were one thousand five hundred people, including the knights, the magicians that were on our side and mercenaries. But every day more people was entering in the army, demi-humans, demons that wanted peace, civilians, knights, mercenaries and even the king entered. After a week we were more than twenty thousand people and along with the other kingdoms we were ready to attack. Our kingdom and the other knigdoms decided to meet each other in the battlefield. I don't know how many of us were going to the battle but I knew that not all of us were going to back. After a long time waiting we went to the battlefield. We crossed montains, fields with dead people that was left behind and burned forests to arrive. After days travelling we arrived to a field, with dark sky, with the demon army in front of us and with the castle of the demon lord far away.
In the field we met his army. They were about one million in total or maybe more. An army of orcs, goblins, dragons, demons and dark magicians but we had hope even if we were outnumbered. We only needed to resist until the arrival of the other kingdoms and until I kill the demon lord. I told them my objective, even if I had other objectives, when I entered so they were going to distract his army while I was going to kill the demon lord in his castle. My real objective was to get his core and to change all what happened. Even if the legend wasn't true I was going to kill their lord, without their lord they couldn't be that strong. After a short delay, we heard their horn and all of them started to attack. We also counterattacked. First the archers shot their arrows and after all of us advanced. In a few minutes we were attacking the enemy with our swords and our spears but we were losing. We were outnumbered and many of us were dying fast, crushed, stabbed and burned by the enemy. Suddenly I heard the order of the king while I was fighting: "Go hero, we will resist here. You must defeat the demon lord"

Following that order I left the battle and I went to the castle. In the castle I met an strange orc, he was four metters tall and he had three heads. He was strong and fast but I managed to kill him, using the freeze spell, the explosion spell and the poison spell to weaken him and my sword to cut his heads. Even if I defeated him I got injured, I was bleeding from my stomatch and from my hands. Anyway I continued my way to his throne as I was, I didn't have time to heal myself. I went killing every monster that I was meeting. After a lot of fights, I arrived to his throne, he was sitting in it while he was drinking wine. He had long horns, red eyes, big tooths and grey hair. He was just sitting in his throne, seeing me as a bug, with a look of arrogance. Immediately after I attacked him with my sword but he stopped it with his hands and he broke it. After that he penetrated my arm with his own hand. It hurt and I was bleeding a lot. I was angry and I wanted over all to kill him. But I couldn't see that my emotions were feeding him. After he told me that there wasn't hope, that all I did was useless and that he will be the lord of the world. After hearing that I used my laser spell but it was useless and he threw me against the wall. I was stunned but I heard his spell and I avoided it. He made a big hole in the wall. I was still stunned and he grabbed me again. Then he told me to look at my patetic army and I saw it. I saw them dying but they were still fighting, even if they were outnumbered and even if they knew their fate, they were still fighting. That's when the demon lord made his mistake. I filled myself with more hope and more bravery. I couldn't die in vain so I fought using all I had so I fought him and after the long fight I thought that I killed him but he deceived me.

He transformed himself into a monster. Now he was a big monster with more horns, four red eyes, a long tail, a body made of stone and lava and a mouth that was constantly emanating fire. Seeing that I was going to give up, I was exhausted, wounded and I was still injured but I heard another horn. The other kingdoms came to help. That's when I decided to kill him. I didn't care anymore about my wounds and my exhaustion. It was hard to continue in my state but I wasn't going to give up this time, for my mother, for the people that lost his life, for the world and for Laura, Yura, Yunis, Alishia, Kiobyu and Cuvien, I was going to kill him no matter what could happen with me. After thirty minutes fighting, I defeated him, this time he turned into the dust that the wind took leaving on the ground the stone, but nothing happened. In the fight I lost an arm, a feet and I got gravely injured for nothing. I lost all my hope, the legend was false and I couldn't change the past.
After thinking that I closed my eyes. I knew that I was going to die again but this time I didn't want to live anymore, I didn't want to reincarnate again. In the darkness I heard a voice, it was the voice of Kiobyu and it was saying: "Touch the stone. Touch it". After hearing that I opened my eyes and I went crawling, how I could, to touch the stone. I didn't know from where was coming my force to move but thanks to that I touched the stone, then I closed my eyes. I couldn't open them anymore, but I felt a warm light. Also I think that the stone started to shine. After a long time staying in the black space I heard the voice of Laura this time. First I thought that I was in heaven but I opened my eyes and I saw her. She was there, telling me to wake up. I had such happiness that I hugged her strongly and I gave her a lot of kisses. Laura ended looking at me strange. In the end the legend was true, I just needed to touch the stone. After that I went to kiss all of them, to hug them, to pet them, I was happy seeing them alive and they did the same. Only Alishia slapped me but I was still happy. After I saw the date and I discovered that I came back a month before the attack to the city. I came back to normal but the danger was still there. I needed to find the secret temple to destroy the demon lord. This time I was going to change the future and I was going to save all the people that will die.

8 181Labyrinthia's Maze
I had always found the idea of “Other Worlds” stupid. Magic wasn’t real. Even if it was the chance of someone spiriting away someone form a world without magic to a world with seemed utterly stupid. After all, what good would a tech geek do in a world of Dungeons and Dragons. Well, jokes on me, I guess. As I was about to log out of the NVR game I have been obsessing over for over 8 years, I blacked out. Next thing I know I am now living as my in game avatar in another world. Only I am now back to scratch, no more giant 200 floor dungeon, no more army of minions and traps, just me and a small room in the ground. Luckily, I have all I need to slowly rebuild my dungeon, I only hope I live long enough to do so. Who sent me here, what do they want from me, and can I ever return home? There better be answers to these questions because, while being my avatar is awesome, I also want to go home… I think.

The "Kemonos" are humans with animal attributes, considered other than human.
