章 13: It's Time For War

Fifteen years later...

******

A blurry black haired figure with pointy ears was jumping nimbly from rooftop to rooftop while a strange creature was crazily following him. It had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a lion, it's skin had black fur covering it while it's eyes were glowing in a purple light.

The black haired elf suddenly turned around to face the creature which had uttered an ear piercing roar. His hands turned into a blur as he instantly dashed towards the enemy.

<A Thousand Unfolding Strikes>!!!

A smile appeared at the corner of the elf's lips as his energy suddenly skyrocketed, while the air around his hand immediately turned sharp. In a blink he shot towards the demon and thrust out his hands.

Slash!

The demon was unable to give resistance before it's head was cleanly chopped off by the elf's finger. It's body awkward swayed before crashing down to the ground as a black blood spread around it.

Luke smiled as he looked at the dead demon lying on the ground. He instantly snapped his fingers as a strange black fire consumed the entire body in a blink.

Luke smiled as he read the messages on the screen before him. He had gotten extremely stronger in the past years, making his chance to become a god at a dazzling [78.96%].

Things had changed in the past fifteen years.

The entire continents are currently waging war against the demons which suddenly appeared just five years ago. The demons had conquered half of the human continent and made it their home, fervently trying to expand their territory.

As for why they attacked? The Dragon God had ordered it!

The demon army seemed not satisfied with their home on hell, so they had attacked the nearest kingdoms. Luke spent the last five years of his life, growing stronger and fighting against demons.

Everything changed when the one of demon nobles had set their eyes upon his kingdom. They sent scouts, but all have been dealt with by Luke who had been single-handedly eliminating them.

Trying to take my kingdom?

Unforgivable!

Luke hopped down from the roof, landing gracefully to the ground. Taking out a black mask and placing against his face, Luke dashed towards his castle at a speed that couldn't be followed by normal eyes.

Mask Of Deception - Equiped!

Mind +10

Charisma +10

Luke got to the gates of his castle where he saw two familiar elves standing guard at the gate with bored expressions on their faces. He stopped and instantly took off his mask.

"Prince Luke! Open the gates immediately!" The younger guard said unhesitatingly after seeing Luke's face.

"My Prince, how was your hunt?" The older guard said. He had two silver stripes on the badge on his uniform, indicating he was a _ soldier.

(A/N: Guards and Soldier are ranked into:

One Stripe: Rookie; Two Stripe: Novice; Three Stripe: Veteran; Four Stripe: Expert; Five Stripe: Master)

"It was fine." Luke said coldly as the was gate opened. Immediately after the gate was open, he casually walked in with no worries.

"Luke~!"

The voice coming from Luke's side made him shiver unconsciously as he instinctively tried to dodge, but was too late. In a flash of white, a young woman suddenly dashed towards Luke and pulled him into her embrace.

Crack!

[Hp: 95/100]

Luke almost cried as the lady showed no signs of letting him go. Her body which was being pressed against Luke made the former very uncomfortable.

<Super Strength>!

Luke instantly patted the young lady's back, prompting the latter to release him reluctantly. Leaving Luke to wheeze and wildly gasp for air.

The lady who did it was a tall beautiful slender girl with glistening white hair that reached down to her shoulders, shielding her pointed ears from sight. She had all the curves in the right places, her alluring figure would make any man drool.

But this woman made the almighty Luke to feel dread.

She was called Laura. She met Luke ten years ago during a demon dungeon raid. Her special ability were the bane of Luke's <Eyes Of Chaos> as it totally concealed her from the world for just <0.2> seconds which was enough for her to sneakily hug Luke with her skill <Super Strength> activated.

The skill made her strength surpass the [100] mark which is the peak for a normal elf, making her an absolute freak.

"Laura, why?" Luke said with a wronged expression on his face as he thought:

'She finally broke the record, broken four ribs this time.'

"Next time you leave this castle without me, I'll break all of your ribs." Laura threatened as she glared at Luke with a frown on her face.

"Whatever. That'll only happen the day you could beat me in a fight." Luke said with a shrug as he smiled smugly before leaping back a feet steps, evading a kick that came hurtling over.

"Hmph, your father has ordered the army to gear up. The demons have made a move on one of our elven towns, the army needs to suppress their forces." Laura explained with a solemn expression on her face as she sighed.

Oh Crap!

"Tell father to wait, we'll be joining him shortly!" Luke said as he dashed into the castle hall and ran up the stairs to his room where his full gear lay.

It's time for war!
