Magic's Temptation

Chapter Thirteen

The Demon Lord Awakens

As Kai's father reached the prestigious school, news of his arrival had already spread like wildfire among the power-hungry monks. They feared his formidable presence, believing he possessed the magical treasure and could turn invisible at will. However, they were also wary of confronting him, knowing that he possessed great skills and could be a formidable opponent.

As he entered the school grounds, all the students bowed in respect to his revered personality. Yet, behind their gestures of respect, a group of power-hungry monks plotted against him, convinced that he was a traitor who had stolen the powerful treasure. They branded him a demon, fueling the hostility that ignited a fierce fight.

Fueled by worry for his son and the need to defend himself, Kai's father unleashed his most powerful skills, subduing many students and monks in his path. However, he was eventually overpowered by some monks who had absorbed the dark magic essence that Kai unintentionally unleashed when he opened the mysterious book.

Captured and tortured, Kai's father refused to give in to their demands, insisting that he did not possess the treasure. Instead, he revealed the truth about his son and the power that lay within him. Desperate to save his father, Kai received a voice note using a magic spell called "Shēngyīn Tōngxùn" (Voice Transmission Spell).

Upon hearing the message, anger surged through Kai's heart, and he knew he had to act quickly to save his father. He sought help from his master, but the response was cold and harsh. "You'll help yourself, human! But I will teach you some godly skills," the master declared.

Despite the consequences, Kai agreed to learn these powerful skills. However, his master warned him that the magic was not meant for a human, and its dark nature would change him drastically, darkening his heart and shortening his lifespan. Undeterred, Kai embraced the challenge, knowing that he must save his father at any cost.

Kai's training began in earnest. He immersed himself in the magic arts, spending 48 hours bathing in the spring, standing against the forceful wind for 7 hours, and pushing his body to its limits. He transformed physically and mentally, no longer resembling the boy he once was. With each passing day, he embraced his new identity as a demon lord, a being of power and darkness.

His final lesson was the "Mind Mojo," the ability to control and poison people's minds. As his master taught him this powerful magic, Kai's appearance changed dramatically. His once ordinary features now held a striking allure, with long and captivating eyelashes, pink lips, and an impressive physique with well-defined abs. A spiritual and godly tattoo emerged beside his left eye, symbolizing his newfound power.

With the ultimate magical breath bestowed upon him, Kai's transformation was complete. He exuded an aura of royalty and fear, embodying the essence of a true demon lord. Despite the darkness that now resided within him, his heart burned with determination to save his father.

With only two days remaining, Kai embraced his identity as the Demon Lord, ready to confront the challenges ahead and rescue his father from the clutches of those who sought to harm him. His journey was now that of a true hero, facing his destiny with a heart of steel and magic at his command.
