Chapter 1427 A Hero's Sacrifice
-----
The knights ran after the King once he fell to the ground, gathering around him. David had just arrived with his disciples, as he gasped once he saw the King.
"Your majesty!"
The soldiers and knights around the King were all crying, David didn't want to think the worst, asking what had happened.
"What happened?! Hey!"
However, nobody would answer him, they remained in silence, crying, mourning...
"Y-Your majesty...!"
He reached his King, his eyes seemed closed, his face smiling, serene.
He looked even younger than before, as if he had regressed to his early twenties.
"A-Ah...! Your majesty!"
David knew what happened, as he started crying, while holding the King tightly, hugging him. To him, the King was more than just his ruler.
He was like a family to him, since he was promoted that he had lived so close to him and his family, they became his family.
He was literally Gustav's big brother at this point, and also it felt like the King was always his uncle, and the queen his aunt.
"No...!"
He couldn't take it anymore, as he began crying like a child, tears flowing from his eyes even more than when he had to take down his stepfather.
"Why...!"
He held onto the king's body tightly.
"WHY?!"
His disciples glanced into the distance, the young squires that had yet to fully ascend into the Magic Knights that would protect the King.
They were all crying, unable to take onto so many losses.
"This has to end already...!"
David glared into the distance, as a gigantic wave of miasma approached, rapidly beginning to turn into something aberrant.
"Please... Planta... You're our last hope..."
Everyone was too tired, many too wounded to fight any longer, even David himself could barely move after everything.
"I don't want to lose more of the people I love..."
RUMBLE!
Their prayers all gathered into a single point, everyone couldn't take it anymore, no more of this...
They clung to their last hope, even amidst this despair.
She started grasping the ground, the rocks, crushing them with her fists.
"Why...!"
Planta and the rest remained in silence as they glanced at Camilla crying.
"Camilla, let me-"
SPLAAASH!
Before Planta could extend a hand towards her, a huge tsunami of Demonic Miasma reached them, splashing everywhere, originating from the Wizard Tower.
"GROOOOEEEEUUURRGGHH...!"
And from within this mass of red and black mud-like goo, the souls of hundreds of innocents used for the Demonic Formation echoed from within it as the mass of Demonic Miasma that expanded for hundreds of meters across the city manifested eyes, mouths, heads, arms, hands, and legs.
"T-That's...!" Camilla slowly opened her eyes wide, seeing the monstrosity rushing towards them.
RUMBLE!
"W-What the hell is that thing?!" Lily screamed in horror.
"P-Planta! Camilla! Watch out!"
Titan panicked, his powers manifesting in that moment, as the ground shattered into pieces in that very instant and a sea of flames emerged.
CRAAASH!
A titan made of black steel wood surged from the ground, rapidly flying with its massive, phoenix-like wings towards Planta and Camilla.
Titan controlled it, as it was a part of himself, a gigantic being he modeled through his new Totem Formation.
Through using its massive hands, he grabbed Planta, Camilla, and Elena and flew as high into the skies as possible, missing Erebus, but he knew he would be fine even if he was drowned on the deadliest of miasma.
And well, even if he got hurt... Titan didn't care, unlike Planta, he hadn't forgiven him for everything he did.
"Phew, almost didn't made it!" Titan muttered.
"No! Wait! Merlinus fragments!" Planta panicked. "That thing will...!"
BOOOM!
As the Demonic Miasmic Monstrosity splashed into the area where they were, the crystals left by Merlinus' Demonic Crown were devoured, instantly assimilated into the thing.
FLUOSH!
And in that moment, rays of red light surged from its entire body, as countless faces surged from the mud, screaming in agony.

"The Demon King...!"
Until finally, one face resembling an old man with a long beard devoured the rest, remaining as the sole consciousness.
"I MUST BECOME... THE DEMON KING!"
