True King's Ecstasy

Velian's blood boiled with rage as he stood in front of the carter where Nakmi got jit by the demon and he searched for the demon, who had just attempted to kill Naomi, the love of his life. His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes burned with an intensity that could melt steel with his golden aura leaking from his body.

"You damn fiend!" Velian spat, his voice laced with a venomous tone, which could easily show how angry he was.

"You are nothing but a vile, despicable creature! I'll cut you into pieces and feed you into goblins for what you did,"

Veliam shouted sending ripples through the building breaking some of the stone.

Lucky for people, most of them managed to retreat since they heard that a fight was about to happen from the assassins.

The demon sneered at Velian's words, its eyes glowing with a malevolent gleam.

"And what are you going to do about it, mortal human?" it hissed, its voice echoing through the dark and eerie chamber.

"I'll make you pay for what you've done!" Velian roared, his voice thundering with fury. "Come out from where you're hiding and face me like the pig you're!"

The demon laughed a cruel and mocking sound that grated on Velian's nerves. "You are no warrior, mortal," it taunted him.

"You are nothing but a mere human, weak and insignificant."

Velian's face twisted into a snarl as he charged forward, his sword flashing in the dim lights soon as he managed to find the place he was using with his skills.

"I'll show you who's weak!" He shouted, lunging at the demon with all his might.

The demon managed to dodge it but it understood that underestimating Velian won't be good, The demon managed to avoid it by twisting and contorting its form in an otherworldly dance.

"You are foolish to challenge me," It sneered, its voice ringing with amusement seeing Velian's skills.

"But I will humour you, for a little while since you sound fun."

And with that, the demon launched its own attack, a flurry of blows that left Velian flying because of the pressure but he didn't take a single damage as he observed and tried to find what this black smoke was. Even though he couldn't find any clue, he refused to give in, his determination fueling his every move.

As the battle raged on, Velian felt a surge of power within him, a strength he had never known before and never used before since he never met an opponent this strong in a long time.

'This one might be SS-rank in human rankings, quite a formidable opponent'

Even though it wasn't a challenge for Velian, he knew his mother and others would struggle a little with this demon, if they had to fight it.

With a fierce cry, he charged at the demon once again, his sword glinting in the golden aura hoping nothing like that would happen in the future.

The demon snarled, its eyes blazing with fury.

"You will regret this, mortal human," it growled, as it summoned all its might for a final assault.

"Humans are weak no matter how scummy they are, in front of the true power, all of them are similar no matter who they are noble or commoner, so I will show them the true despair," The demon grumbled its voice becoming eerier and eerier like a real monster.

But Velian was ready. With a swift and decisive strike, he plunged his sword into the demon's chest, causing its evil essence to dissipate into the air.

"Like I give a shit about it, you just hurt Naomi and that's all I care about, Die you pig!"

The demon couldn't even react to his speed because of how fast Velian was but there was something strange.

Even though it was supposed to kill the demon, he just kept looking at Velian with the same hatred-filled eyes.

[Master, get away from him]

Suddenly, Velian heard the voice of Luna warning her after a long time.

The first time it did something like that was, when Veliam encountered a dragon. Quickly, Velian let go of his sword but it was too late for him.

Suddenly his hand started turning the same colour as the demon, and he heard another sound inside his head just like the system.

[The previous host rejected, the new host found]

It was just like Luna's announcement but, with a different tone.

[Transferring the seed from Luck Bastio to Velian Keller]

Velian started feeling excruciating pain, even more than when he felt he first had an evolution.

"Ahhhhhhh~ Shit, what is this?" He questioned Luna, but inside his head, it was like turmoil as two voices started to fight against each other.

This couldn't last long as Naomi suddenly came to the battlefield and cut Velian's hand completely and pulled him out of this demon's body.

"Master!" She shouted her eyes filled with tears.

Velian opened his eyes to see his right hand missing, but the voice also vanished with that leaving only Luna's voice inside his head.

[Master, I asked Naomi to cut your hand with the bond, don't worry, we can grow it back, but we need to retreat, this demon in front of us is about to self explode]

Velian didn't answer her, as he quickly took Naomi by his remaining hand and jumped onto the roof and ordered everyone to retreat.

"Fall back! It's about to blow up," He shouted hysterically hoping Akiyo wouldn't get caught up in the explosion.

And it happened.

*Boom

Luke Bastio self-destructed leaving a mark in the middle of the city with a huge craft to remind everyone of this battle.

With a triumphant roar, Velian stood victorious, his heart pounding with adrenaline and one of his hands missing. Naomi was safe, and he had shown the demon what a true warrior was made of.

But still, the question remained.

"What was that sound? And what is a seed?"

Without getting any of the answers to these questions, Luck Bastio disappeared with Velian's hand leaving everyone worried about what happened while the news about this war and how Velian fought quickly spread around the town rather fast.
