Chapter 58: "Shen Karguro vs. The Five Demon Lords"
Season 2 – Demon War Arc (Part 6)
---
Scene 1: Demon Seal Preparation Site – Underworld Gate
Deep beneath the surface, the Drifters work to complete the Sealing Circle that can trap Varkhal.
Commander Ryulga leads the formation with high priests and magic engineers. The plan is to trap Varkhal when he next strikes…
But the Five Legendary Demon Lords appear before the seal activates—to destroy it and Shen.
---
Scene 2: The Five Appear
They rise from fire and shadow—towering, monstrous, and ancient:
1. Lord Ghural – Demon of Earthquake Might
2. Lady Venasha – Mistress of Venom and Shadow
3. Zaragul – Flame Devourer, brother of Varkhal
4. Drithok – Demon of Illusion and Fear
5. Balga-Ven – Lord of Thunderstorm Wrath
Their combined power darkens the skies.
Shen (stepping forward):
"No one touches the seal."
He summons his blades.
🌑 Dark Mage Form 2: Vortex Core Upgrade 🌑
(His power surges with flowing black-and-blue energy. Twin blades crackle.)
---
Scene 3: Round 1 – Shen vs. Ghural and Venasha
Ghural slams the ground—the entire mountain trembles.
Shen flash-steps across falling boulders, dodging every strike.
Venasha poisons the air with purple mists.
🌀 Shen's Counter: Twilight Dash & Shadow Dispel
He spins through Ghural's punch, cutting deep into his leg—then disperses Venasha's mist with a pulse of shadow magic.
Shen:
"You're too slow."
---
Scene 4: Round 2 – Zaragul and Drithok Join
Zaragul rains down meteors of flame.
Drithok distorts reality—Shen begins seeing illusions of his fallen comrades.
Drithok (whispering):
"Afraid to lose more? Weakness, boy…"
Shen (closes his eyes):
"…My fear is my power."
He releases:
🌑 Dark Mage Limit Spell: Midnight Cyclone Cut! 🌑
A giant spinning slash rips through the illusions and burns away the fire meteors, hitting Zaragul in the chest.
---
Scene 5: Final Round – Balga-Ven Arrives
The sky explodes with thunder.
Balga-Ven:
"I'll crush your magic!"
He strikes lightning-fast, punching Shen through five rock pillars. Shen coughs blood, downed.
But he rises.
Shen (smiling):
"You're strong. But I'm just getting warmed up."
He crosses his blades—
🌌 Forbidden Spell: Heavenbreaker Slash – Level 2 🌌
A double slash forms a glowing cross of black and blue energy, striking all five demon lords at once.
The shockwave shakes the heavens. Four of the Lords fall back, damaged. Only Balga-Ven remains standing.
---
Scene 6: One-on-One – Shen vs. Balga-Ven
They clash in midair. Shen's blades vs. thunder fists. Every punch lights the sky.
Final move—Shen channels his last strength into:
💥 Shadow Comet Thrust 💥
A piercing dash that breaks Balga-Ven's guard and slams him into the sealing altar, knocking him unconscious.
---
Scene 7: Aftermath
The sealing ritual activates. The Five Demon Lords are trapped in binding chains.
Commander Ryulga:
"We did it… thanks to Shen."
Shen falls to one knee, breathing hard.
Shen (quietly):
"One step closer… to Varkhal."
