The robotic dragon snake Ouratrix, slitters in position as it slides out like an unleashed coccon surrounding Dante.
"What is that human plan to do?
Said Malric the Demon King as he sees the dragon slitters up.
From the ground, the android burst out from tge ground to the air. Though halfly broken, but still functioning.
They got into position, Dante raised his right domanint arm high up.
KKRRAAGGHHH!!!
Ouratrix, the snaje robotic dragon and the android begins operation 45, the dragon opens its mouth and glided down into Dante's right arm deep in its throat.
Inside, Dante grabbed a hidden handle inside its mouth, he push it forward and twist it halfly.
Ouratrix shifted into position, it scale turn black with a shift motion, its slittering body was straigtening up.
"Hrrrkkk!!!"
Dante, with his last bit of strenght, pulls down his arm into position at the Demon King's small army.
Ouratrix scale, each side has a white mark position. The droids, using every last ebergy in their mana crystal etcged on thier plated chest.
Begins shooting plasma beam at Ouratrix white point scale location.
"Charging is at 20 percent, sir."
Said one of tge droids, as it waits for Dante's orders.
"Keep going!"
Yelled Dante as he holds on to the heat sorrounding Ouratrix.
"By Behemoth! Is that a cannon!"
Said Malric in eyes widened and realisation. He looks at the position Dante was aiming. It wasn't the army.
"FALL BACK!!! FALL BACK!!!"
Yelled Malric to his army, Vexira as well call off the assault and orders all demons to return to the demon realm.
"Sir! Charging is at 60 percent."
Said the one of the android, losing energy. One was out, another as well.
"Si...r, ....warning,....critical...mus..t—!"
"Override all protocols!!! I know the risk!"
Dante yelled in pain, his arm was burning in lava temperature.
"DO IT!!!"
All the remaining androids fuel up Ouratrix's body as much as possible. Steam were bursting out one by one from Ouratrix's body.
"Hang in there girl!"
KKRRAAGGHH!!!
The Robotic dragon huff its nostrils with steam. The dragon's body becoming to glow reder by the second.
"Warning! Warning! Overload at 10....20...5£0..£^#^-..=.#"
The last android fell to the ground, no life working as it slowly said its lasts respond to Dante.
"Over...load...at..1000 percen..t ."
Tge Demon army retreated back to their realm. Malric looks back and see's Dante arm was crackling in blaze in the robotic dragon.
He got a glance at Dante gazing at him with wrathful eyes of scorching crackle of blaze. Dante grinned and was ready to deploy his last trump card.
"Checkmate...!"
He whispered to himself with a grin, and twisted the handle again and pulls it outward with a wrathful scream.
BHOOMM!!!
The ground exploded to a cobweb of destruction. A powerful plasma energy burst out off Ouratrix mouth like a ginormouse cannon. The ground shudders in a direct line of the beam for tge vibration.
The beam shots straight to the portal of the demon world kingdom. Malric witness the huge beam from above as it straight up enters the demon realm.
From the royal demon castle, Malvera, current queen of the demon race. Witness the unknown white object coming within the portal.
"What in behemoth—!"
The beam blasted to the otger side of the castle at the south side.
BHOOMM.....!!!
There was silent,
A line sound,
Pure emptyness,
The beam strikes the ground, tidel of smokes burst through the city. A ginormouse loud thunder of bang, sound of the clap of the god itself.
A humengouse red blaze with smoke, exploded out, forming a flowers with smokes. The ground crumbles to dust, the buildings turn nothing, demons burned to crisp ashes.
A silent gaze at Malric as he and Vexira, witness the tragedy. Half off the demon kingdom, was destroyed in a blink of an eye, a light, a silent.
All demons of the army witbess the tragedy in silence, Malric eyes widened, he can see yhe smoke forming a skull-like shape a little. Though it doesnt look much, he can tell.
From the look at the half destroyed kingdom, the look at the demons, eyes welling up in tears, he thought.
What if they have mothers, fathets, sister, brother, a ch8ld, a newborn.
A family.
From the other side of the portal, Diana hold her hand up covering her mouth in shock, eyes wifened. Will, Evan, and Avabel were stunned by the chaotic destruction of the demon realm.
"By Bahamut....," Xilang holds her hand up to het mouth. Witnessing the horror. Giang quickly shielded and hugged both his wife and his daughter, Zhurong. Blocking them away from the horrifying scene before them.
Milan, the elf queen, eyes widen in horror. She may have scene and experienced the war from hundred years ago. But this was no match to what she was witnessing first hand.
This was extinction.
The entire academy students, teachers, soldiers, generals, commanders, the army of dragons, elfs and humans, witnessed the most powerful and the most terrifying tragedy ever happened in their life.
As the blazing lights of explosion clears, both realms became grey. Rain poured heavily at both side.
Vexira huffs in rage, and turns her back to see Dante, exhausted.
YOU HUMAN!!!" She was about to lung at Dante. But Malric stops her by the shoulder.
"Your highness...?" She asked, confused as she witness Malric eyes were in lost thought.
"Head back first,"
Said Malric,
"But, your majesty—"
"Tend to the wounded, the civilians, the people, because a King....protects...his..own ."
Vexira scoffs in rage, knewing full well the current situation. The entire demon army head back to the realm. As the portal slowly closes, Malric took one last look at Dante over his shoulder and muttered a lip sync at him.
A promise, by his boiling blood of rage.
"This. Means. War."
The portal closes, Dante fell to his knees, tired, exhausted and in serious critical condition. He pulls his right arm out of Ouratrix's mouth.
"You with me, girl?"
He slaunted his back on the dragon's destroyed body.
KKKRRUUGGHH.....
The robotic beast purrs from its creators worryness as it was exhuasted and powers out with a flick.
As the rain pours, Dante looked at his surrounding. He can witness Domikhael, the sinner of pride still breathing as he gets up.
"Huh, huh, huh, your wretched human..
!"
He muttered, he doesnt know about the tragedy that has happened.
"Die, Dante Ruthwilfer!!!"
In a split second before he can kill Dante with his broken longsword. Dante utter a sentence in his mouth and said.
"Rise up...."
Stabbed!!!
A powerful black shadow of a spear stabbed Domikhael in the heart.
"Urk...kagh!!" He coughed out blood heavily and gaze down at the shadowy figure.
"Kagh, impossible....! I killed you....how.,"
Domikhael muttered.
"How are you still alive, Lustia...."
Another figure loomed out of the ground in darkness of shadow and sliced off Domikhael's head off in clean slated cut.
The head drops down and roll to Dante's feet. He gaze up and looked at the two fallen demon generals. Taouon, Sinner of Sloth and Lustia, Sinner of Lust.
Both they're eyes glowing in looming purple. But instead, the two death demon's turned shadow kneeld in respect at Dante.
As if showing their loyalty to him.
"Cough, so this is my mana foundation after all these years. Spacial and Necromancy...."
He coughed up blood, he closes his eyes and passed out. The shadow of both Taouon and Lustia disappeared and swam into Dante's shadow.
It was raining, its was destruction, the high possiblility of deaths, countless lives lost, ally's band together.
It was over, the Academy was fallen but can be built back soon enough. But never the scars on the fallen, the survivors, the ones lived to tell another day.
All was over, the battle was victorious. As Diana descends down the hill and quickly ran up to Dante. She hugs him tight in her arms, in tears of worry but joy. To see him breathing was enough for her.
"Dante...my..child.. ."
Even though Dante is not Diana's child, but a child of a dark mage. Diana hold him close to her big soft chest. Not wanting to let go.
As she feels and finally understand. What it means to be in motherhood. As for Dante, he can finally have his long rest, but the pain of losing Lytharis, the elf girl. His friend. Can never be stich, heal, nor anything.
For as long he may live.
Inside Dante's spirtiual presence, Kilamahi studied the explosion and sore through Dante memory of his previous life as Shan Abhay.
"August 6th, 1945," she read aloud.
Hiroshima.
The atom bomb.
A boy named Shan Abhay once studied it. Once wondered what it would be like to wield such destruction.
Now, she understood.
"Now I understand you a little better, kid."
Her voice was soft. Heavy. Haunted.
"Your past life wasn't ready for this world. But this world… is barely ready for you, Dante."
