Regain: Revenge of the Greatest

Talzer escaped after he threw multiple dark orbs towards Kael. He ran quickly. Cleron was not a safe place for him. Deciding to use Kael as a catalyst to transform the Earl into a demon was a huge mistake. Kael is far from what he imagined.

Talzer was able to get out of Cleron. With his pride destroyed, he swore to go back, and slaughter Kael. But, his wish was not granted.

[Slash]

“Wha–”

Talzer saw his arms and legs, disconnected to his body.

‘What happened?’

Time stopped for Talzer, as he tried to make sense of the situation. He fell flat on the dusty ground, incapacitated in an instant.

“Do you think you can get away from me?”

Talzer saw the person talking, walking towards him. He was held to his neck. He saw the cruel black eyes of Kael, the child he feared the most.

“Kael..”

Talzer was stunned. He can only say the child’s name.

“I’ll give you a chance”, Kael said.

[Grand Heal]

Talzer’s vision was overwhelmed by golden light. The next thing he knew, his body returned to its great form. Even the burning he got from the Earl was gone.

“What’s your name?”, Kael said.

Talzer was astounded. His demonic nature emerged again. He thought that Kael was a fool to let him get his full strength back.

“Talzer”

“I was right,”, Kael said. “You’re one of the strong ones”

It’s clear that Kael knew something about demons. Talzer knew it from the first time they met. He should have been cautious, but his demonic nature won over him.

Talzer stared at his opponent. He was reminded that Kael was just a child. Kael looked delicate to him, and so, his fear vanished. He thought he had a chance to beat Kael.

[Dark Force]

The destructive orbs were too quick, Kael was hit by all of them. Talzer cackled. He was able to trick the child.

Talzer regained his confidence. The pitiful child gave him a chance to cause destruction. He knew that Kael regretted what he did. Restoring the demon back to its full strength was a bad idea. It’s too late now, as Talzer got the upper hand. But, all of the hopeful thought of the demon were all for naught. He witnessed who he was fighting against.

Kael remained standing, despite the destructive forces he received. In the first place, not a single one of the dark orbs hit him. He was protected by a golden barrier before Talzer even thought of attacking him.

Talzer was in disbelief, seeing that he completely failed.

“I gave you a chance and you wasted it”, Kael said.

[Flame]

Kael produced the same rotating flame he used to pierce through the demon’s tough body. Then, in an instant, hundreds of tiny flames surrounded him, ready to follow his commands.

Seeing such display of power, fear returned to Talzer. The child is beyond him. He wanted to run, but Kael wouldn’t allow him.

The condensed flames showered towards Talzer, piercing his supposedly tough body with ease. He heard the multiple explosions behind him. He was riddled with penetrating flames, his demonic pride shattered once again.

Talzer’s body couldn’t support itself, as it was filled with holes that broke its structural integrity.

“I forgive you, don’t betray me again”, Kael stated.

[Grand Heal]

Talzer was healed once again. His body was even stronger than before. He looked at Kael, and somehow, after the overwhelming display that the child made him experience, he thought he could beat him this time.

[Dark Force]

Multiple dark orbs formed once again. Kael was reminded of the demon king, who was just as stubborn as Talzer.

“You never learn”, Kael muttered.

[Inferno]

A pillar made of fire reached to the sky, engulfing everything within Kael’s vicinity. Scorching heat emanated from the powerful magic that Kael created. The heat was felt from Cleron even if the town was a bit far away to them.

After the raging fire disappeared, a molten crater was left behind. Inside, only Kael and a red crystal remained. Kael picked up the crystal. It is the demon’s heart.

[Grand Heal]

The demon heart formed flesh again, and Talzer regained his body for another time. Talzer stared at Kael. The greatness he thought he had vanished completely. He never thought that a mere human, a child even, could humiliate him that much.

“What are you?”, Talzer asked. He looked at Kael like how humans look at demons. The dread that the humans feel towards demons was the very same thing that Talzer felt.

“I was born to eliminate your kind”, Kael stated.

The words of his adversary weakened Talzer, falling down on his knees. Kael said his hostility upfront. The demon realized that Kael see him as a prey. But, something made him wonder. All this time, Kael didn’t kill him.

“Why did you keep healing me then?”, Talzer asked.

“I lost the ability to eliminate demons”

“Wh–why are you telling me this?”

Kael didn’t answer. He was frustrated of his inability, and so, he was about to conjure another destructive magic.

“Wait! I lost! I give up!”, Talzer screamed in panic. Kael could not kill him, but he could still feel all the pain from being mangled by Kael’s magic.

Kael listened to him, and was about to conjure restraints for the demon. Talzer however, had another plan.

[Dark Force]

Dark orbs exploded, point blank against Kael. But Talzer didn’t aim to hurt Kael, as he knew that Kael will not be hurt. Instead, the attack was a distraction for his escape.

Talzer sprinted away, far from Kael, the only human that let him feel fear. He was ecstatic, thinking that he actually tricked Kael.

“I wonder, where will that demon go?”, Kael asked to himself.

[Spatial Sense]

Kael saw where Talzer was, but he didn’t go to the demon quickly. Instead, he took his time, walking steady, following the demon from afar. He wanted to know where Talzer was going. The demon might be his key to find out whether the demon king existed in the current timeline or not. It’s a crucial information for him, especially now that he knew powerful demons still existed. He was distracted by his mission that he didn’t notice. Tiny iridescent crystals were forming on his finger tips.
