Rise Of The Demon God

Long Chen was standing in the middle of the battlefield, looking at flames all around him.

His army kept killing anyone who stood in their path on the way to conquer even the last Empire.

"Your Majesty, it won't be long before we take over the Royal City." A man approached Long Chen.

"You're going too slow," Long Chen replied, frowning. "You take so long to conquer one measly empire without my involvement?"

"Where are almost there," the General replied. "It's just that the Princess is a really good commander. She has been able to make army formations that delay us so much."

"Moreover, all the remnant warriors of other Empires are siding with here, fighting our forces. It's like their last bastion. This time, we shall finish them all."

"General, I don't like failure. I don't care how many people are there. Take them all out! If you can't finish the war in six hours, I'll personally join the fight, and when I do, you won't be alive to see it anymore," Long Chen said, turning around.

He folded his arms, standing calm while looking at the battle arena.

Unlike real Long Chen, who got rid of the heart demon's influence by passing it onto him, this Long Chen failed to keep himself free of the influence.

He grew more and more power hungry with time, unable to bear any failure.

"Last bastion of the enemies, huh," he muttered, glancing at the sky. "It has been so long, and I still don't know how to leave this sealed prison."

"This world is too small for me..."

As Long Chen was lost in thought, the General's attention was attracted by one of the soldiers who was briefing him about the situation of the battlefield.

On the other end, an arrow came flying towards Long Chen like a rocket from the enemy side.

Long Chen's attention was at the sky, which prevented him from seeing the incoming arrow, but as the arrow reached him, a barrier appeared around his surroundings, gaining its power from the ring that Long Chen was wearing.

Now that he had control over the entire Spirit World, he had managed to gather many precious artifacts, especially the ones that were left behind from the last war against the Heavenly Realm.

He was really interested in such treasures as he wanted to become as strong as he could.

The appearance of the barrier stopped the arrow, which would otherwise have impaled Long Chen's forehead, but it also attracted his attention.

"Assassination Attempt?" he muttered, feeling a rage rise in his heart. "These measly pests dare attempt Assassination?"

"Looks like I was too generous on them by leaving them for my army. They took my generosity as my weakness."

He patted his robe lightly, removing the barrier.

"M-my lord, are you alright?" The General hastily came to Long Chen after seeing what happened.

"General Gu, aren't you too caring after a failure like that?" Long Chen asked, grasping the throat of the General.

"If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that you were working for the enemies, leaving such a clear path for an attack to get to me. Then again, is it really a coincidence?" he inquired, glaring at the General as if he was able to look deep into his soul.

"I-i would never..."

"Yeah, you would never," Long Chen nodded. "Because you'll be dead now."

He clenched his fist, crushing the throat of the General.

He pushed the body of the General aside.

"Wang, you are the new General now! Now that you have anything to do in this war. Ask the army to return. I'll go personally!"

"Y-yes, My Lord."

The new General quickly called all the soldiers back.

As per command, the soldier started retreating, seemingly confused why it was so sudden when they were so close to winning the war.

Seeing the soldiers retreat, the people who were on the other side of the war grew excited.

"Did we just scare their army? W-we won?" The Princess of the Yun Empire asked, looking at the battlefield from her palace.

She could see all the enemy soldiers running back.

"I don't think it is that easy. Something seems wrong. We were on the back foot, and they were close to defeating us. Why sudden retreat?" A young man asked, frowning.

He was the second Prince Yu from the Empire that had fallen previously. He was the commander of the Rebel forces, which were made from all the surviving soldiers of the conquered Empires that didn't surrender and still managed to escape alive.

All the rebels had gathered in the Yun Empire to fight one last time to defeat Long Chen.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem odd," Princess Yun nodded. "I'm feeling worried."

She looked at the man behind her.

"General Qin, tell your men to stay alert. The battle isn't over!"

"Yes, Princess!"

...

Soon, all the soldiers were back. They stood before Long Chen, waiting for instructions.

"You've all disappointed me," Long Chen told the soldiers. "Now stay here. I'll go finish the rest."

Long Chen stepped ahead.

Groups of soldiers stepped aside, giving Long Chen a path to leave.

"His Majesty is personally going. I haven't seen him fight in so long. This is going to be a massacre," one of the soldiers muttered, watching Long Chen leave.

Through the palace, the Princess noticed that one man was coming towards the palace. The man had no weapons in his hand. She couldn't see the face of the man clearly from a distance.

"Someone is coming. An envoy for peace?" She wondered.

Prince Yu picked up a telescope-like object and started looking through it, wondering who was coming.

"This isn't good at all. He is coming... He really is coming!"

"Who is coming?" Princess Yun wondered. She took the object from Long Chen and started looking through.

"It's... The Warlord... He is personally coming!" She exclaimed, taking a step back.

"Calm down, princess," General Qin said. "We knew this might happen. That's why we placed the traps on the way. In fact, it's good that he's coming alone. He won't leave alive!"

"R-right. It's just that his stories are a bit... I am fine." The Princess sighed. "You're right. Once we kill him, the war is over."

Long Chen kept walking alone towards the Royal Palace, and no one dared to attack him. The soldiers appeared to be frozen in fear.

For some reason, they couldn't even move their hands.. The aura of Long Chen was so frightening that most of them dropped to their knees unintentionally.
