Chapter 45: Failure is not an Option



Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, after the events of the invasion of the Kingdom of Eldoria.

Demon General King Telus was in the Demon King Castle, walking with purpose towards the Demon King Hall. The grand, ominous halls of the castle were lined with torches emitting an eerie blue flame, casting ghostly shadows on the walls.

elus's footsteps echoed loudly as he approached the massive double doors of the Demon King Hall. His fists were clenched, and his jaw tightened in barely controlled rage. Being driven off by a human had been a blow to his pride, an affront that he could not easily forget.

He paused for a moment before the doors, gathering his thoughts and steadying his anger. With a deep breath, he pushed the doors open and stepped into the hall.

The Demon King Hall was vast, its high ceilings supported by colossal pillars adorned with ancient runes. At the far end of the hall sat the Demon King on a throne of blackened bones, his crimson eyes glowing with a fearsome intensity. Flanking him were the other Demon Generals, some scornfully, while others with derision.Discover new chapters at novelhall.comon General Telus, you have some nerve showing yourself here after you failed to invade a human kingdom," said one of the Demon King Generals. He had the towering form of a minotaur, his muscular frame covered in scars from countless battles.

Telus shot him a cold glare but said nothing, focusing his attention on the Demon King. He approached the throne and knelt, bowing his head.

"Your Majesty," Telus began, his voice steady despite the tension in the room. "I come to report the events of the invasion of the Kingdom of Eldoria."

The Demon King's eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly. "Speak, Telus. What happened?"

Telus's eyes widened in shock and fear as the drill shot forward, hitting him squarely in the chest. The force of the blow sent him flying backward, crashing through several walls of the castle. His body slammed into the ground outside, leaving a trail of destruction behind him. The Demon Generals watched in silence as the dust settled. Telus lay on the ground, severely injured and unconscious, his body barely recognizable through the debris and blood.

The Demon King stood up, his eyes still blazing with anger. "Let this be a reminder to all of you. Failure is not an option. We are demons. We do not falter to mere humans or their technology."

The Demon Generals nodded. The minotaur General, who had previously taunted Telus, now looked at his fallen comrade in contempt.

"Your Majesty, if I may, I want to be the one to hunt down those humans who drove Telus away," the minotaur General spoke up.

The Demon King turned his gaze to the minotaur, his eyes narrowing slightly. "And why should I entrust this task to you, General? What makes you think you can succeed where Telus has failed?"

The minotaur General stepped forward, his massive frame imposing. "Your Majesty, I have never failed you in battle. My strength and resilience are unmatched. I will take a contingent of our best warriors and ensure that these humans are dealt with. Their technology, whatever it may be, will not stand against our might."

The Demon King considered this for a moment, his eyes flickering with thought. Finally, he nodded. "Very well, General. You have my permission. But be warned: failure will not be tolerated. Bring me the heads of those who dared to defy us and their weapons for study. Do not return until you have succeeded."

The minotaur General bowed deeply. "I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty."

"See that you don't," the Demon King replied, his tone final. "Gather your forces and leave immediately. We cannot afford any further delays in our plans."

The minotaur General nodded and left the hall.
