"Damn it, where did this hero come from?"

That was what all of the demons thought as they warily looked at the capital city.

"Damn it, when will the demons go away?"

That was what the humans thought as they watched the demons from within the walls.

After what happened to the Asura and Minotaur that stepped out, a stalemate had appeared between the two sides.

Even with the hero's power, it wasn't as if they could push through the hordes of demons that were in front of them. The hero was one person and was limited in how much power he possessed.

With all of these demons out there, it was impossible for him to face it all alone.

The demons on the other hand were scared to fight against the hero that had taken down the Asura and the Minotaur.

They didn't want to throw away their lives for nothing.

That was why there was this stalemate that happened.

"Gather up all the leaders and prepare to move out."

"Gather up our parties and get ready for a big fight."

The two sides gathered like this.

In the end, it was the dark elf that gathered the demons since the demon king didn't have the prestige among the demons needed to gather them.

But once they gathered, they followed the demon king to attack the gates of the capital city.

"I won't let you do that!"

There was a large slash of white holy energy that came out when the demons gathered. When this large slash of white holy energy came at them, the demons couldn't help stumbling back from the natural pressure that this holy energy put on them.

But that slash never reached them as a slash of dark demonic energy came to meet it.

The demons were confused since they had no idea who had done something like this.

Even the leaders of the various demon tribes were confused since it wasn't any of them that had acted.

"Do you think that you can do anything to my subjects?"

When they heard this, they couldn't help being shocked.

After all, this was the last person that they had expected to step forward.

But when he did, the demons couldn't help feeling the pressure that they hadn't felt previously coming from him. It was as if this demon had turned into a completely different person.

"Who are you?" The hero asked with narrowed eyes.

"Don't you think that it's polite to introduce yourself first before asking someone who they are?" The demon asked back in a snide voice.

There was a moment of silence before the hero said, "I am Gran Jurad, the hero of humanity! Take your demons and leave the territory of the humans!"

"The hero, huh? I guess we are fated to clash." The demon said with a laugh before raising his voice like the hero did and said, "I am Val Zahar, the demon king! I am the one that leads the demons and the one that will conquer you all! Bow now or be destroyed!"

There was a long silence that filled the air after he said this.

On the side of the demons, they couldn't believe what their 'demon king' was doing. After all, they knew that this demon king was nothing more than a puppet used by the stronger tribes.

On the side of the humans, they couldn't believe that it was the demon king that was leading the charge.

"I've heard rumours that there was a new demon king, but…"

"Right, no one has seen the demon king yet…"

"Now a demon king is on our doorsteps?"

There were doubts that filled their hearts as they said this.

"Demon king, huh? You're right, we really are mortal enemies. Then there's no reason to talk anymore." Gran Jurad said before raising his sword once more.

Val Zahar gave a simple nod before raising his hand to face him.

White holy energy gathered around the hero's sword while dark demonic energy gathered around Val Zahar's arm.

Once they had gathered enough, both of them suddenly released their energy in one single attack.

"Boom!"

There was a large explosion that resulted from the clash of this white and dark energy. There were traces of this energy that scattered all over as it was an even clash between the two sides, causing all kinds of damage around the site of impact.

Many holes were left behind in the end, but neither the demon king or the hero moved.

Both of them just stood there staring at each other.

However, it was different for the demons and humans that were watching.

There was only one thought that was on their mind.

"This is the power of the hero/demon king!"

The demons were naturally shocked by the power that the demon king possessed.

It was equal to the power of the hero that had taken down the Asura and the Minotaur.

"What part of this demon king is a puppet for the top tribes of the demon race?"

The humans were just simply shocked by the power of both the hero and the demon king.

In the first place, most humans weren't that strong.

So to them, this was like a clash of powerful experts.

No, the title that these two possessed put even more weight on how they were perceived.

A hero and a demon king, it could be said that this should be a clash at the peak of this world.

"Not bad, it seems like I have to put a bit of effort into this." Gran Jurad said with a confident smile on his face.

"Same to you. It seems that this will be fun." Val Zahar said with an evil smile.

The companions of the hero moved forward at this time.

In response to this, the dark elf brought a few of the tribe leaders forward to meet them.

This was a clash between demons and humans.

The first clash between the hero and the demon king.
