Chapter 31: The Journey of Domination

Kuragami emerged from the portal into a land untouched by gods or demons—an ancient, forgotten realm where the most powerful beings had vanished into legend.

Beside him stood Alexandra's daughter, Saphira, her crimson eyes filled with both awe and caution. Though an Elite Demon, she knew she was nothing compared to the power Kuragami now wielded.

They walked in silence, the sky above them shifting in unnatural patterns, as if the world itself was rejecting their presence.

Saphira finally spoke. "Prince… do you even know where to start?"

Kuragami didn't look at her. "The strong will reveal themselves. Power attracts power."

As if on cue, the earth beneath them trembled. A massive shadow loomed ahead.

A creature stepped forward—towering, monstrous, its body covered in jagged obsidian scales, its eyes burning with a hatred so deep it seemed to radiate darkness itself.

Saphira froze. "No… that's impossible… That's—"

"The Abyssal Warden," Kuragami said, finishing her sentence. "One of the ten strongest demons."

The beast let out a low, rumbling growl, its voice like a chorus of suffering souls.

"You are not welcome here, child of the forgotten."

Kuragami's lips curled into something resembling a smile.

"Then I'll make my own welcome."

With a single step forward, the battle began.
