An epic battle that couldn't be perceived by normal people.
All kinds of traces of the terrifying battle like the scattering ground or traces of explosions could be found in all sides of the battlefield.
The heroes are battling against the Demon King.
"HAHHAHAHAHAH! You humans will never defeat me! I've made a contract with the evil god of war, Hachiman! No one could stop me now!"
The laughter of the Demon King is echoing to every corner of the battlefield.
With that sentence, everyone could know that the heroes are losing. They gritted their teeth because of their lack of power but their eyes still shone with some hope!
they haven't lost their hope yet!
All of the heroes thought the same thing!
The strongest of us haven't even come! And if he comes, even if there is 100 of you all of them will still not enough to defeat him!
As the Demon King's laughter getting bigger and bigger and he's about to utilize his strongest spell to finish the heroes.
A voice cut in.
"Antimagic field. antimagic card activate." a voice said.
Suddenly the ground shook and a blue light shone and the battlefield changed into a gigantic shining card shape.
And the Demon King's spell is canceled due to the effects of the antimagic field.
"HOW DARE YOU!" The Demon King shouted and dashes to the figure in an instant.
"Gravity magic card activates, 100 folds increase." the figure said.
And the Demon King immediately fell to the ground after it, and he vomits a mouthful of blood.
The figure descends slowly and gracefully and his appearance starts to show.
He dressed like how an assassin would but he used a black hat above his hood that makes him rather weird.
His eyes are hidden and the only thing that could be seen is his nose and his mouth.
His cape fluttered in the air as he descends.
"who the hell are you." the Demon King asked with his hoarse voice, he is nervous and surprised by the figure that not only canceled his powerful spell but he managed to injure him to this extent too.
The figure smirked and said cooly.
"I am
