The demons fought with magic spells and swordsmanship alike

　　but he tore through their magic and their swords with every strike

　　his army slowly gained morale to join him in the fight

　　drawn toward the hero`s passion burning strong and bright

　　The sound of swords and battle cries consumed the battlefield

　　courage burned in every warrior behind a shield

　　a thousand demons fought the hero, but he killed them all

　　but when he stopped to look around, the hero heard a call

　　"Humans from the south who come to make war with my kin

　　go back to your homes in peace, or understand your sin

　　I warned you that the consequences of this petty war

　　shall extend beyond the simple things you`re fighting for"

　　The ultimatum of the demon lord was heard by all

　　many were confused but saw the hero standing tall

　　the demon lord descended with a fearsome lightning crash

　　everyone who saw was nearly blinded by the flash

　　Those nearby were shaken by the overwhelming force

　　a feeling of despair had spread, with him its only source

　　a swarm of feelings filled even the hero`s noble heart

　　but if there was a battle to be had, then he`d take part

　　The air around the demon lord was heavy and intense

　　to most upon the battlefield his power made no sense

　　many thought he seemed more like a dragon than a king

　　every step he took caused more to question everything

　　But one man knew the power of a dragon very wellA case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

　　one who`d overcome the legendary flames of hell

　　the demon lord had glowing eyes and wings upon his back

　　but such a monster couldn`t match the dragon`s fierce attack

　　The hero`s focus gathered on the challenge that he faced

　　while the battle waged his hesitation was erased

　　it was time to put into effect what he had learned

　　the skill he trained against the countless enemies he`d burned

　　His army would be lost if he let all his fire run wild

　　he couldn`t lose control in anger like a stubborn child

　　with the concentration he`d learned in his years at war

　　he`d create a weapon strong enough to end the war

　　He summoned all the fire he had into a single blade

　　the demon lord looked on in awe at what the hero made

　　it glowed so brightly one could not discern its form or length

　　but it was clear as day that it possessed unrivalled strength

　　Like the hero, he had magic flowing through his veins

　　more power than he`d seen on any of his long campaigns

　　he used a sword and shield of magic, summoned with a spell

　　It almost seemed like fairies` magic, but he couldn`t tell

　　Before the demon lord could raise his voice, he raised his shield

　　understanding that the hero`s will was surely steeled

　　the duel began and through the night the war continued on

　　attacks like crashing thunder filled the battlefield til dawn

　　The sunrise met a bloody field where still the armies fought

　　but demons weren`t the weaklings that the hero once had thought

　　the demon lord was powerful beyond his wildest dreams

　　both their skills at combat had been pushed to their extremes

　　He launched a fierce assault but failed to land a single hit

　　but if he couldn`t best him with his sword, he had his wit

　　even when he faced the dragon, luck was on his side

　　his enemies would taste defeat no matter what they tried

　　"Demon lord, have you not heard, I`m stronger than you know

　　I faced the mighty dragon in these hills just weeks ago

　　if I could slay a dragon, how could I be slain by you

　　if you don`t surrender, I will gladly kill you too"

　　The hero`s words were powerful and filled his knights with pride

　　trusting in the dragon slayer they fought alongside

　　but as they fought, the demon lord just shook his head and stared

　　unaffected by the words the hero had prepared

　　"I do not understand the path which brought you to this place

　　I pity you for all the pain you wear upon your face

　　if your fate has brought you here to stand against my own

　　then together we must reap whatever fate has sown"

　　The hero had expected demons not to call his bluff

　　but if his knights believed in him, then that would be enough

　　and so without another thought for plans or strategy

　　he gave his all to make the fight go down in history
