Chapter 45: Failure is not an Option

Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, after the events of the invasion of the Kingdom of Eldoria.

Demon General King Telus was in the Demon King Castle, walking with purpose towards the Demon King Hall. The grand, ominous halls of the castle were lined with torches emitting an eerie blue flame, casting ghostly shadows on the walls. 

elus's footsteps echoed loudly as he approached the massive double doors of the Demon King Hall. His fists were clenched, and his jaw tightened in barely controlled rage. Being driven off by a human had been a blow to his pride, an affront that he could not easily forget.

He paused for a moment before the doors, gathering his thoughts and steadying his anger. With a deep breath, he pushed the doors open and stepped into the hall.
