Regain: Revenge of the Greatest

Inside a certain house, at the front of the kingdom’s academy, Magister Zahe was waiting. It wasn’t a long wait. The door opened for him, and several people entered the house. The house was then filled with demons disguised as humans, more than fifty of them. They were the demons that Magister Zahe called forth to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Among all the demons, Magister Zahe was the highest rank, being the only second class demon. Talzer is his right hand, a third class demon equal to master grade mages. Abzer, another third class demon was also present. He was commanding ten fourth class demons, all of which are equal to grade A mages. Zera is another third class demon commanding five fourth class demons. Another third class, Kazer, has ten fourth class demons under his command. Eizer, another third class, has the most subordinates, fifteen fourth class demons. The last one was Azere, a third class demon commanding ten fourth class demons.

Seeing all of his subordinates, Magister Zahe was satisfied. He knew the demons he gathered were more than enough to overthrow the kingdom. Even if he take Kael into account, he thought that he will not be defeated.

“Great Lord, all of us were able to acquire physical bodies. Command us as you please”, Eizer said, lowering his head.

Magister Zahe commanded Eizer to raise his head.

“Talzer, being the one who experienced Kael’s strength, do you think we have enough strength to kill him?”, Magister Zahe asked.

“Great Lord, it would be unthinkable if we couldn’t kill that human with our mighty force”, Talzer answered. Magister Zahe nodded.

“Great Lord, can I speak?”, Eizer asked. Eizer was in his demon form. He has the same red eyes and gray skin like Talzer. Their only difference was Eizer’s three short horns protruding from his forehead.

“What do you want to say?”, Magister Zahe said.

“Forgive me for my insolence, but, is the human called Kael really that powerful that you needed our assistance, Great Lord?”, Eizer asked.

“I understand your curiosity”, Magister Zahe replied. “Talzer, tell them what you experienced”

“As you wish”, Talzer responded. From there, Talzer narrated his encounter with Kael, telling his fellow demons about his bitter defeat. Magister Zahe supplemented Talzer’s narrative by telling his subordinates about his accidental discovery of Kael’s true strength. Many of the demons were in disbelief, but hearing Magister Zahe’s confirmation of Talzer’s story solidified the truth to their minds.

“What an absurd human! He should be destroyed at all cost”, Eizer blurted.

“I agree with what you said. That’s the reason why I called all of you here with me”, Magister Zahe stated. “Let’s ensure that such powerful human die, so that no one can hinder our reign over the world”

The demons roared, cheering Magister Zahe and chanting the fall of Kael. Seeing the demons’ enthusiasm, a devious smirk escaped from Magister Zahe’s face, thinking that his victory was assured. He waited for the loud cheers to subside, and then, he began speaking about their plan.

“Abzer, you and your demons will start the chaos tomorrow. Go to the king’s castle and seize the king immediately”, Magister Zahe commanded.

“As you wish, great lord”, Abzer said.

“Kazer and Azere. Command your demons to destroy everything in this town and create as much despair as possible. Your actions will strengthen me more for the true battle”

“As you wish, great lord”, Kazer and Azere said.

“Zera. You and your demons will accompany me inside the academy. On my signal, kill every single humans inside the academy, but never go against Lucius. I will handle him”

“As you wish, great lord”, Zera said.

“Eizer, being the strongest among my servants, you have a special task to fulfill. Kazer and Azere were tasked to destroy everything in town, but every person that were killed by them should be the consequence of the destruction they will cause. You and your demons on the other hand must hunt down and kill every human that are strong enough to cause us trouble”, Magister Zahe commanded.

“Although I doubt that there are such humans, I will obey your words, great lord”, Eizer said.

With that, Magister Zahe’s demon horde was set to ruin the whole town, and fulfill their main objective, which was to eliminate Kael.

Meanwhile, while the demon magister was preparing his subordinates, there was another group that was preparing for battle. It was the Tigers, the rebel group who wanted to kill Kael.

The Tigers were having a discussion about what to do next, after their second attempt to kill Kael failed. Rodo’s subordinates didn’t want to continue the mission that their leader commanded them. They were in a pinch after they lost six of their comrades against Magister Kever. However, their leader was still fixated on killing Kael, and so, they could only obey Rodo.

“Red Curse was still in effect, it would be impossible for our enemy to use any magic”, Rodo stated, looking at his sword. The reddish blade was still intact, which means that the curse it gave to its victim was still in effect.

“Master, I suggest that we stop doing our mission for now”, one of Rodo’s grade A mage said.

Rodo stared coldly at the mage. “Why do you think so?”, he asked.

“Our target has the swordsman Kever on his side. We can’t possibly succeed if there’s someone like him protecting our target”, the grade A mage said.

Of course, Rodo was aware that Magister Kever could hinder his plan to eliminate Kael, but he was clouded with his own desire to consider Magister Kever as a threat. In his mind, only Kael’s powerful magic could stop him from fulfilling what he wants.

“We will kill Kael without fail. If Kever dares to hinder our attack again, I won’t hesitate to kill him as well”, Rodo stated. He looked at his remaining subordinates, knowing that they have doubts. But, even in knowing that he was alone in his desire, as long as Kael was still alive, he will not be satisfied. He will never accept a “no” coming from his subordinates.

“Prepare yourselves. With this sword, we will finally destroy our enemy”, Rodo said, raising the red bladed sword. His subordinates looked at each other, wondering why did their group became too focused on a goal that only their leader was concerned about.

The two enemy groups prepared themselves for several days. Kael was about to face a battle that will involve the whole kingdom. Soon, the town of Deyrem will be plunged into chaos.
