The banquet went smoothly. Kenan was asked to give a speech after everyone had eaten heartily. Kenan was surprised to be asked by Princess Kalya to encourage the Elves.Kenan trembled, he stood up from his chair, and everyone watched him silently. His legs were shaking, and he still remembered everything that had happened to him. Weakness and helplessness, bullying, humiliation, and even torture. Cold sweat covered his body. Kenan was pale.Kenan closed his eyes, still shaking.Pluk!A small hand held Kenan's trembling hand, startling Kenan. Kenan opened his eyes and saw that small hand—Aeera's hand, smiling at him, encouraging him. Kenan smiled at Aeera and looked at everyone, all the Elves waiting for Kenan's words."Everyone!"Kenan's voice was full of enthusiasm. Everyone looked at Kenan and fell silent."Enough playing around! We will destroy the Demon King and the Monster King and free both humans and elves! We will all live free!""HOOOOOOO!"The sound was thunderous, and every

“I will join Aeera in defeating the Demons and Monsters!”The remaining kings from all the kingdoms across the world looked at one another. For hundreds, or even thousands of years, humanity had lived under oppression, yet there had always been resistance in the quest for freedom. However, all such efforts had been crushed and wiped out. Nothing succeeded, not even when the strongest human heroes tried.All hope was lost; humans seemed to accept reality and give up on fighting. They had all resigned themselves to becoming slaves to monsters and demons.“This is a futile struggle; you will only become sacrifices,” said King Eros.Several kings nodded in agreement; they did not want to take the risk. The Key of the Heavens is one of the artifacts that protects humanity with that power. They are capable of creating artifacts and casting powerful magic arrays with the added power of the Key of the Heavens. If this mission fails, the monsters and demons might obtain the Key of the Heavens,

Kenan caught Aeera, his flying speed aimed at the falling Aeera. The other team could handle themselves; they were all fighters and mages. They descended. Kenan lowered Aeera. Sera and Regas followed, and the seven of them regrouped. Smoke still billowed from the explosion.In front of them, two humans in black armour appeared. They were mages too!"They are..." Sera exclaimed, shocked to see the two standing."Who are they, Sera?" Regas asked."Rania and Rasya!"What!Kenan didn't understand everyone's shock. He asked Yuhas. Yuhas explained that Rania and Rasya were two long-lost mages. They were powerful mages who had once fought the Demon King, but then disappeared. The two were powerful siblings. All humans had recognized their power ten years ago."So... what is your purpose in Raktus?" Rania said, holding a glowing sword. He pointed his sword at the seven people in front of him."We want the Lightning Sword!" Aeera called out, taking two bold steps forward."Little girl!" Rasya

The demon army looked furious at the shameless humans who dared insult their warlord, Commander Shodam."Damn it!" shouted Diroth, Shodam's trusted demon. Diroth raised his sword, unable to stand it any longer. Diroth felt like his admired commander was being mocked by the very humans they had always trampled upon. Diroth couldn't take it anymore. He charged past Shodam and shot forward with his sword, about to strike the small, long-haired human and smash him to pieces.Whoosh!High speed, and when he was halfway between the demon army and the humans...BRUSH!A violent collision ensued, and smoke billowed and obscured everyone's vision. Two seconds later, the dust began to clear, revealing a human figure pointing its right hand toward the ground. In that human hand, Diroth's head had been crushed and buried in the ground. The ground cracked, and Diroth was no longer moving.Yes! Kenan charged first, passing Diroth and smashing his head into the ground with a powerful force.Kenan st

Shodam floated in the air, striking Kenan while he was off guard. The force of the attack sent Kenan flying and destroyed a hill.Shodam's teeth were bared, and he felt incredibly powerful. The troops behind him were also energised, having swallowed the demon pill. The strength of all the troops had multiplied."Lord Kalandra! Please don't lose!" Aeera shouted worriedly.Kenan was thrown into a pile of rocks and dirt. He moved his arms and head. His head felt heavy, the blow powerful. This was the first time in Aeera's world that he had experienced such intense pain. Suddenly, his vision blurred and blurred. And then, images of himself being bullied by his peers suddenly appeared.The pain he suffered during the bullying was hard to shake. Kenan saw a faint image of himself being bullied. His eyes saw all those memories, and they literally appeared before him.Bug!A kick, without any warning, struck Kenan in the stomach while he was wearing his school uniform. Kenan fell and hit the
