Demon King ARC
The Journey to the East
After preparing themselves, L and the Immortals embark on their journey to the Eastern Kingdom.
As they travel, they encounter various strange yet beautiful creatures.
Cute forest creatures hop around curiously, their fur shimmering like gemstones.
Flying sea creatures soar through the sky, their wings made of water.
Giant floating fish glide peacefully above the ocean waves.
Lisa, fascinated, tries to pet a glowing bird-like creature, which happily perches on her hand.
Gray grins and challenges Bolt to a race with a speed-boosting wind beast.
Flair, however, stays cautious.
Flair (narrowing her eyes): "This place is too peaceful... something doesn't feel right."
L, walking ahead, smiles slightly.
L: "You'll understand soon enough."

Arrival at the Eastern Kingdom
After days of travel, the Immortals finally reach the grand Eastern Kingdom.
A massive floating city built on top of giant waterfalls and sky bridges stands before them.
The people of this land—tall, blue-skinned beings with glowing eyes—watch the newcomers with curiosity.
As the group approaches the grand entrance, a squad of guards blocks their path.
Auxilian Guard: "Halt! Outsiders are not permitted in the Kingdom without permission."
The King of the Western Kingdom steps forward.
King (raising his hand): "We come in peace, bringing warriors who can help your people."
The guards exchange looks, then nod and step aside.
Auxilian Guard: "You may enter."
The gates open, revealing a breathtaking city of floating structures, swirling clouds, and glowing wind-powered technology.
The people, known as Auxilians, whisper amongst themselves, intrigued by the newcomers.
Lisa looks around in awe.
Lisa: "This place looks… unreal."
Bolt: "Everything seems to be floating! How do they do this?"
The King of the Auxilian Kingdom appears, standing beside Crycelia.
She smiles upon seeing the Immortals, but her expression remains serious.

The Meeting of Kings
The two kings exchange greetings with mutual respect.
The Auxilian King bows slightly.
Auxilian King: "I must apologize for the method we used to bring you here. It was not our intention to alarm you."
The Western King nods.
King: "No harm was done. But tell us, why did you need our help?"
The Auxilian King sighs, his face filled with concern.
Auxilian King: "For centuries, our kingdom has been under attack by Demons from the Abyss."
The Immortals tense up at the mention of Demons.
Gray (clenching his fist): "Demons, huh? No matter where we go, trouble always finds us."
The Auxilian King continues.
Auxilian King: "Long ago, the God of Air blessed our ancestors with the Wind Blade—a sacred sword capable of cutting through even the strongest demons."
He gestures to a grand pedestal, where a magnificent sword with emerald-colored winds swirling around it rests.
Auxilian King: "For generations, our people wielded this blade to protect our land. But now, there is no one strong enough to awaken its power."
Crycelia looks towards the Immortals.
Crycelia: "That is why we called upon you. If one of you can wield the Wind Blade… you may be able to defeat the Demons."
The Immortals exchange glances, determination rising within them.
L (smirking): "Interesting... Let's see if any of us are worthy."
