Rohan stepped into the demon world through the portal, a place he had never been before and had never even known how one would enter in the first place. The passageway inside the portal carried an unusual heat, the kind that would have burned a normal human alive, yet it only licked at his skin as he moved through it. The scorching air twisted around him until the portal finally released him into the dark tower, where his sire stood waiting with a smile playing on his face, as though delighted that Rohan had finally come to meet him in person.
Ereves was as tall as Rohan, with broad shoulders and a face almost identical to his. His dark blue hair was long, falling past his shoulders in loose waves. Two curled horns rose from his head, slightly crooked to one side as he studied Rohan with a calm, assessing look. Rohan studied him back with dead eyes that held a silent, simmering rage and resentment.
"Welcome home, young—" The words didn’t finish in the demon king’s mouth before Rohan moved with his vampire speed and slammed his clenched fist against the creature’s face.
The blow was so strong that Ereves was thrown miles away from Rohan, who moved again, reaching to grab him, but the king, who was a pure demon with old powers and immense strength, teleported and appeared behind Rohan.
"I can see you are not here to stay but to kill me," remarked the demon from behind, but Rohan moved with the speed of light. He twisted around and slammed all his weight against the demon. They both went crashing through the broken window of the tower, plummeting down the long height together.
The demon king, who relied on teleportation to avoid things, attempted to shift away, as he didn’t want to suffer the harm of falling with Rohan’s weight from such a height. But to his surprise, he realized he couldn’t shift. Then it dawned on him: Rohan’s claws had driven deep into both his shoulders, forcing his demon body from teleporting. When a demon’s flesh got pierced or impaled by something, the object prevented them from shifting until it was removed. The demon king looked up at the furious, glowing dark eyes of his offspring. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I see you know about our kind enough to be able to stop me from moving," he said, feeling the harsh wind tearing at their falling bodies. And even before Rohan could say anything, the demon king’s back hit the uneven ground of the ruined world with Rohan’s full weight pinning him down. The impact created a deep dent in the ground, and both of them sank into it.
Without giving him a chance to recover from the fall, Rohan yanked out one clawed hand from the demon’s shoulder and began using that hand to strike him repeatedly in the face, while keeping his other hand buried deep in the demon’s shoulder to stop him from escaping.
"I will fucking kill you! It was all your fault I lost her! You selfish bastard!" Rohan spat, every word soaked with fury and heartbreak. He hit the creature with every ounce of strength he had, each blow sinking them deeper into the dent formed from their fall. "I told you I would fucking bury you a hundred feet underground if I found her hurt, but you all killed her for me! You killed my heart!!"
The more he spoke, the harder his blows became, and the demon king, who had never been beaten in his life, not even once, couldn’t speak. Blood spread across his face and mouth; he felt the crack of his nose breaking, and he realized he had to stop the boy before he truly killed him.
The demon king moved his hands, trying to block the blow aimed at his face, but Rohan’s strength, fueled by grief, made him strong enough to slam and break the demon’s hand with a single merciless hit. It was then the demon realized that his offspring truly intended to end him.
Ereves decided to use his own powers. He managed to move and struck Rohan’s chest with a force that knocked him off and sent him falling backward, but Rohan caught himself, flipped in the air, and landed behind the king. He grabbed the demon by the neck, but Ereves fought back, using his fists to slam against Rohan’s forearms, forcing him to release his hold on his throat.
The Droot, who had made his way down from the tower, watched as the two powerful beings clashed. One was trying to avoid the killing blows, while the other was determined to kill without hesitation. Their strengths were equally terrifying, and the Droot was certain that if the king wanted to kill his son, he could do so easily... but the son could also kill his father with how he was fighting.
Rohan pulled out two long thick rods from the ground of the ruins and rushed after the demon, who kept teleporting and dodging him. But Rohan’s eyes locked on him, calculating exactly where he would appear next. Then he moved with his own speed and thrust the rod straight into his stomach.
It happened so fast that even the demon king didn’t see it coming until he was impaled and forced to remain in one place. Damn it. The boy was stronger than he had ever imagined and frighteningly educated about how to kill his kind... thought the demon king. He saw the murderous look in Rohan’s dark eyes as the boy moved to finish him off by raising the rod with an attempt to remove his head, but the demon quickly spoke.
"You don’t want to do that, son," he warned.
"I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING SON!" Rohan roared, bringing the rod down to kill the demon, but something small leaped in front of the rod, blocking and diverting it away from the demon king’s head.
