Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

( Daemonacles's POV, The next day )

The next day, as Daemonacles logged into the game, he was instantly dragged out of his resting tent by the demons and dragged out for the journey.

"Climb!"

He was ordered, as they forced him to ride a demonic mount that looked more ferocious than a wild boar in its mating season.

Trembling, Daemonacles climbed atop that mount, worried for his own safety, as while the other demons around him did not seem to mind the wild nature of their mounts, Daemonacles felt extremely worried about it.

His mount constantly snorted and jumped around, trying to throw him off, as the mount, just like the demons around it, felt like the human was unfit to ride it.

Thankfully, Daemonacles barely hung on by holding on to the crude demonic saddle tied around the beast. However, he did so just barely.

If the Demonic Beast used just a little more of its strength, Daemonacles was sure to be sent flying and hence he could not relax for a single moment throughout his journey towards the Demon Capital.

To make matters even worse, a constant stench accompanied the demonic mount he rode, which smelled like rotten eggs mixed with pee.

It was by no means pleasant, and unfortunately for Daemonacles, it was too strong to ignore.

Coupled with the mount's wild antics, the whole experience made him feel nauseous, as he threw up several times along the way.

"Puny human, you have such a weak stomach! Not even a couple hours ride in and you have already puked twice.

It's almost like you puke more than the beasts shit" Count Dino said, mocking Daemonacles, as his subordinates laughed heartily at his joke.

"Hahaha! I bet the weak human pukes so much he doesn't even need to shit at all–"

"Weak human might die by the time we reach the capital"

"Hahaha, our two year old children are tougher than those humans"

The comments of the demons felt jarring and insulting to Daemonacles, who shrunk down and turned extremely reserved and quiet.

Within the game world, puking wasn't a natural response that could be suppressed or controlled and hence Daemonacles had no control over when or why he would puke.

A few seconds before he did, a system notification informed him that his character was unable to tolerate the stench and was hence going to puke in a few seconds, and right on time, it did.

It was a very unpleasant experience overall, however, Daemonacles was forced to tolerate the humiliation for now.

**********

After a few hours of riding through the wild demonic landscape, the group finally reached the Demon Capital, which looked nothing short of hell to Daemonacles.

Dark widespread cityscape with little to no regulations.

A single tall castle built atop a steep mountain.

And a single black dragon hovering in the skies above it.

The Demon Capital was just as he envisioned it to be, with no technological wonders, no architecturally beautiful buildings.

Just a packed city, with ruthless demons trying to make a living for themselves.

"Behold human, the grand Demon Capital. It's a sight that not many of your kind get to see–" Count Dino said with pride, as although the landscape looked hellish to Daemonacles, it was absolutely beautiful from Dino's POV.

Infact, before they entered the city, he paused for a while on their trail, to observe and soak in the beauty of the Demon Capital.

"Is that the legendary Black Dragon? The Demon King's Mount?" Daemonacles asked, pointing towards Drogo in the sky, as a soft smile played out on Dino's lips listening to his question.

"Indeed, that's Drogo, the king's stead. The only dragon within the New World" Count Dino said, as his terminology confused Daemonacles.

"The new world?" Daemonacles asked, as Dino raised his head in confusion and proceeded to explain the lore of the land to Daemonacles.

"Yes, the new world. That's what we Demons call this continent, but of course we are not natives of this land.

Both humans and demon's only came here 500 years ago.

But this is not our birth land.

We were born on the old continent, the land that the dragons rule!" Dino said, as Daemonacles absorbed this lore as a new piece of information.

So far, any attempts to go beyond the set boundaries of the game map had resulted in resounding failure, however, according to the local maps possessed by the NPC'S, there were some other continents in the world of Terra Nova, that were far away from their current location.

"Drogo is the only dragon on this continent. If our king did not subdue him, he would rule this land for sure" Dino said, as he spoke about the Demon King with absolute reverence in his voice.

"Is the Demon King that powerful?" Daemonacles asked, as Dino chuckled out loud at that question.

"The Demon King alone can wipe out the human Empire.

He's the strongest warrior in the history of our kind" Dino answered with confidence, as listening to his words, Daemonacles felt shivers run down his spine.

The way the demons talked about their king was the same way that the rebels talked about 'TheBoss'.

Objectively it was hard to believe that one man could defeat thousands of rankers alone, however, 'TheBoss' actually managed to do it.

Similarly, it was hard to believe for Daemonacles that the Demon King alone could wipe out the entire Empire if he wished to, however, he did not doubt the authenticity of it.

The Demon King was the final boss of this game world, the one warrior that could not be defeated, so it made sense that the Demon King was as strong as this.

"We are here! We begin the ascent towards his palace now human, so you better be on your best behavior–" Dino warned, as they reached the palace gates, which unfolded into an endless spiral of stairs towards the main palace.

Dismounting, Daemonacles followed Dino gladly up the flights, as his heart pumped wildly in anticipation of meeting the Legendary Demon King.
