章節 1: Betrayal

[* 3rd person POV *]

In the middle of a massive evergreen forest which was filled with giant trees that looked like they reached all the way up to the skies, a giant crater had formed with what seemed like a man in the middle.

He stood tall in the crater with his giant sword in his hands that was drenched in blood and oozing with mana, the pressure that was naturally being released from his body was enough to make all of the giant monsters that resided in this magical forest to tremble with fear.

However those weren't his enemies, His enemies were the very thing he swore to protect. It was humanity.

Thousands of humans wearing full metal plate armors were standing tall surrounding the lone warrior, They wore pure white armor that didn't even have a single scratch on with a giant symbol on their back which showed who their masters were.

The Kingdom Of Blackstone.

A few years ago this kingdom was nothing but a small town that was on the brink of extermination, but they had managed to quickly rise up in ranks and become the sole ruler of the entire world because of a certain man they had summoned.

This man gained strength at a rate that was impossible for normal humans and in just a few years he had become one of the strongest humans to ever walk on this planet. He was none other than...

The Hero

He fought against the monsters that tried to destroy Blackstone and became the shield and sword of the kingdom, However, he wasn't just strong he also had a genius mind that allowed him to comprehend runes which he used to help the kingdom further leading it to gain the power it has now.

The Blade Of Brilliance

He was called due to the majestic aura his blade always released while it purified all of the evil from this world. That was until the last king was in power who only cared about his people's health. The moment his son became the king everything changed. Slowly but surely he started to exterminate everything related to the previous government.

The last king and the other ministers who served him and supported him were killed and they were framed for being followers of the demon king, The people who he cared and sacrificed for were convinced in a second and those who had doubts were assassinated discreetly.

While all of this was happening the hero was away from the kingdom deep inside of the demon realm fighting with the demon king as all of his loyal party members were lost during the great struggle in the battle.

By the end of the battle he had managed to slay the monster... but at the cost of his comrades which he held dearly.

However, even in such a despairing condition there was a single ray of hope in his heart that barely kept his sanity and that was the fact that he had just managed to save all of humanity, even as he walked back towards his kingdom... towards his home, he was constantly imagining the happy expression of the children that would appear after they know that the demon king was defeated.

But oh how sad the truth was.

As he stepped into the kingdom the very children that he was expecting to smile at him looked at him with fear, The civilians who he was expecting to celebrate with moved out of the way as he walked. The soldiers who he went to war with held their weapons tightly and kept their guards up as he walked by.

It was at that instant where he was hit with a high-level space spell that teleported him to the place where he now stood. A crater formed under him just by the sheer weight of mana pressure he was releasing and with bloodshot eyes he looked up to see the entire army that he had developed himself looking at him as if he was the enemy.

"YOU FUCKING TRAITORS!!! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY YOUR OWN SAVIOR!!" He yelled out with all of his might as everyone standing there was reminded of the beast they were facing, with just his voice he was able to instill fear in their heart as half of the army started to tremble in place.

"Don't lose your heads, He is just like the old king" Suddenly a calm voice moved through the battlefield which made all of the soldiers enter in an almost trance-like state as they stopped trembling and started to march towards their hero with the intention to kill.

"SO YOU WERE BEHIND ALL OF THIS!!!" The man shouted yet again and at that moment he lost all of his kindness and the small ray of hope keeping his sanity shattered causing him to be overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions.

The pain of losing his people

The pain of becoming a monster

The pain of losing his comrades

The pain of losing his lover

The pain of losing his purpose

Everything pilled up all at once and he transformed into a hate-filled berserker who only cared about killing his enemies "I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" He shouted out before blasting off into the giant army.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

Each time he swung his blade pure destruction was brought onto the land as the thousands of soldiers covered with top-quality armor which was amplified with runes were cut into small pieces before they could even move a muscle.

In mere moments the army had already been reduced to a much smaller portion.

The blade that used to be called the blade of brilliance had transformed into a much more darker and evil blade.

The Blade Of Destruction

Yet, The young king had a smile on his face... There was something much more sinister that had already been set into motion.

As the now berserking hero moved through the battlefield at a speed at which even the strongest generals couldn't react, His body started to become slower and weaker but due to his unstable state, he didn't even notice the small detail which would cost his life.

He went ahead to swing his blade one more time, He suddenly lost the strength in his body and dropped down to his knees as blood started to leak from all over his body, His mouth, Ears, Nose everything started to overflow with blood and his body became helpless under his own weight.

Finally, the young king stood up and slowly walked towards the fallen man while chuckling with a face that would make anyone want to punch him, He walked forward with a smug expression and looking at the confused expression of the hero couldn't help but become even more smug.

"Confused why your body isn't responding?" he asked while looking down at the hero but all he received was a hate-filled gaze as he couldn't even move his jaw anymore.

"Here let me show you~ The poison you and your party members have been consuming for the past few months~ It should make a normal human die after just one dose but you reluctant bastards just refused to die"

Everything started to make sense...

The puzzle came together...

The reason behind everything wasn't just the prince...

It was human greed!

The king walked even closer as his eyes laid on the locket that the hero had on his neck, It was the best artifact that increased magic power and also made the user resistant to a majority of magic spells. It was the last memory of his lover who had also lost her life in the battle. She had died right in his arms.

"You won't need this anymore~" The brat said as he moved forward to snatch the chain but as soon as he held the artifact in his hands, The hero who was at the brink of death moved his hand and held his arm with all of the strength he could muster breaking it in an instant.

"Dont. Forget. I. Will. Return" He said as he forced his body to move with sheer willpower clutching his teeth as blood continued to flow out while his mind was overcome by both physical and mental pain.

The king couldn't even scream from the pain as right now he was feeling a fear that he had never experienced before, It was the same fear that one encounters when they meet something that transcends even the Demon King.

'M-Monster' He thought to himself as he pissed his pants due to the fear he was experiencing, The hero who was watching this couldn't help but smirk like a psychopath enjoying the fear that his mere presence was causing.

'Is this what the demon king felt?' He thought to himself as he finally closed his eyes and fell down on the ground right beside his majestic sword that had been impaled into the ground.

'I like it' were the last thoughts as he finally rested.
