The attack finally fizzled out, disappearing into smoke and sparks.
The dwarves stared.
The Iron King’s eyes widened inside his helt.
"What... WHAT THE HELL!? Even if you use a shield, how can a HUMAN—block my attack!?" the Iron King shouted, stunned.
"My beam can destroy a mountain! How—how can you withstand that!?"
Nolan smiled.
"Well," Nolan said calmly, "like I told you... do I look like a normal human?"
He lowered his hand.
"So now—it’s your ti to kick the bucket."
The Iron King growled, aura rising like black flas.
"That wasn’t even HALF of my power!" he roared.
"Do not get arrogant, human! Don’t think that because you blocked one attack you are superior to ! HUMANS ARE WEAK! No matter how strong you are, you will ALWAYS be below a demon—even a weak one!"
Nolan smirked, eyes glowing with power.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"So tell ," Nolan said calmly, "what attack do you have? Show . I’m going to beat you fair and square."
The Iron King Demon growled, tightening his grip on his massive sword.
"I am one of the strongest in the Demon World," he declared proudly.
"No human can compare to !"
"Well, that’s in the Demon World," Nolan replied with a smirk.
"But this isn’t the Demon World."
Nolan lowered into a stance.
"So now... prepare for my attack."
The mont he finished talking—
BOOOOM!!
Nolan vanished from sight and reappeared in front of the Iron King Demon, his fist already buried in the demon’s stomach.
"GUH—!!"
The Iron King Demon flew backward violently—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Crashing through several castle pillars before slamming into the far castle wall with a final:
BAAAAAAM!
Without giving him a second to breathe, Nolan flashed forward—
—and unleashed a flurry of brutal strikes.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each punch echoed like thunder.
Nolan spun and delivered a vicious kick to the demon’s jaw.
CRAAACK!
The Iron King Demon was launched upward, smashing through the air.
Nolan shot after him like lightning.
Mid-air, Nolan pulled his leg back for another devastating kick—
—but the Iron King Demon caught Nolan’s leg in a sudden burst of strength.
"Hmph...!"
With a roar, he swung Nolan through the air and slamd him away.
Nolan twisted mid-air, landing lightly on his feet.
He wiped a tiny drop of blood off his lip and smiled.
"Wow..." Nolan said, eyes blazing with excitent.
"You’re actually strong."
His aura surged.
"I guess I should’ve gone all out with those punches."
Both Nolan and the Iron King Demon hovered in the sky, their auras clashing violently. The air itself seed to shatter under their power. The dwarves on the ground trembled, feeling the shockwaves ripple through the castle courtyard.
The Iron King’s eyes burned with dark fire. "You human... you dare defy ?" His fist shot forward like a teor, aid straight for Nolan’s chest.
Nolan’s eyes narrowed, ti seeming to slow around him. With a swift twist, he dodged, the demon’s fist shattering the stone below. Nolan retaliated with a powerful kick to the demon’s chest, sending him spinning backward, debris flying in all directions.
But the Iron King was relentless. In midair, he summoned a massive dark energy sphere, larger than a dwarf’s house, hurling it toward Nolan with terrifying speed. The beam tore through the sky, black lightning crackling around it.
Nolan didn’t even flinch. With a snap of his fingers, a protective black shield enveloped him and the dwarves below. The beam slamd into it, shaking the ground violently but failing to pierce through. Nolan smiled coldly, the intensity of his aura flaring as dark energy and gravity bent around him.
"You think that can stop ?" the Iron King growled. "Humans are weak!"
"Weak?" Nolan’s voice echoed like a storm. "You’ve no idea what humans—or I—am capable of."
With a flash of speed, Nolan closed the distance. His knee crashed into the Iron King’s jaw midair, snapping the demon backward. Before the demon could recover, Nolan grabbed him by the neck, spinning and slamming him into the castle courtyard. The impact sent shockwaves tearing through the walls, stone and debris flying in every direction.
The Iron King roared in fury and propelled himself upward with dark flight, his blade forming from the shadows of his aura. He lunged at Nolan with a lightning-fast strike. Nolan vanished from his sight, appearing behind the Iron King in a swirl of dark energy. He delivered a brutal knee to the demon’s spine, forcing him to stagger.
They collided again, fists eting with an earth-shaking BOOM. Trees bent, stone shattered, and the ground cracked like glass beneath their power. The dwarves below could only watch in awe as Nolan’s gravity manipulation began to warp the battlefield. Rocks floated in midair; shadows bent unnaturally, distorted by his overwhelming presence.
Nolan unleashed a flurry of punches, each one imbued with gravity and dark energy. The Iron King blocked, countered, and retaliated with his own dark strikes. Every hit sent sparks flying, creating a visual storm of destruction.
He slamd an elbow into the demon’s throat, forcing him to choke mid-air. Then Nolan grabbed him by the jaw and threw him into the ground, sending a shockwave that blasted nearby walls into rubble.
The Iron King barely managed to rise, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes burned with sheer pride. "You... are strong... human. Stronger than I expected."
"I’m just getting started," Nolan said, his aura flaring to an almost blinding intensity. The ground beneath them cracked as Nolan summoned gravity spheres around his fists. Each strike now carried the weight of mountains, bending space itself.
He launched the Iron King into the air, following him instantly. Midair, Nolan’s fist collided with the demon’s again, sending shards of energy spiraling outward. The castle shook violently, towers tilting under the power of their fight.
The dwarves watched in stunned silence. So clutched their heads, unable to believe the magnitude of a single human’s power. Others, especially the children, cheered quietly, sensing that Nolan was their savior.
Nolan’s eyes glowed a deep, otherworldly black. "This ends now."
With a roar that split the air, Nolan’s aura expanded outward like a living storm. Gravity and dark energy converged around him, forming a massive vortex that sucked in debris, dust, and even the Iron King himself. Nolan’s speed beca imperceptible to the naked eye, his fists striking faster than thought, each one sending the demon reeling.
The Iron King tried to strike back, but every attack was countered, every move anticipated. Nolan twisted the battlefield with gravity, throwing the Iron King into the castle walls, then crushing him into the ground with impossible force.
The Iron King Demon staggered backward, his massive armor clanking with each step. His horned helt glead in the shattered sunlight filtering through the ruined castle walls, but his movents were slow, weighed down by disbelief and exhaustion.
"How... how is a human this strong?" he growled, his voice cracking with fury. "Impossible... no... this can’t be... I am the Iron King! I am the strongest knight in the Demon Lord Castle! The dragon of the Demon Realm!"
His fists trembled as he tried to raise his sword, but Nolan’s aura pressed on him like a living storm. Every step the demon took seed heavier, as if the very air itself was conspiring against him.
"This... this shouldn’t be happening," the Iron King muttered, his voice shaking. His confidence—the arrogance that had carried him through countless battles—was crumbling.
Before he could even process his fear, a shadow flickered behind him. Nolan’s hand shot out like lightning, fingers gripping the demon’s jaw. The Iron King froze, his own power failing to resist.
"Stop blabbering," Nolan said, his tone calm but carrying an unstoppable weight. "You’ve said enough."
With a single, fluid motion, Nolan slamd the Iron King’s face onto the solid stone ground. BOOM! The impact echoed through the castle like thunder. Dust and small debris exploded outward, and the Iron King’s horned helt cracked, sending shards flying.
The dwarves outside gasped, their eyes wide with terror and awe. The once-proud Iron King was now helpless, pinned under the force of a human’s power. Nolan’s aura flared around him, dark and unyielding, the ground beneath them quivering with the intensity.
The Iron King struggled, trying to rise, but Nolan’s grip and overwhelming presence held him firmly. He could feel every ounce of his strength being nullified by the human before him.
"This... this isn’t possible..." the Iron King muttered, blood dripping from the cracked edges of his helt. His eyes, filled with rage and disbelief, t Nolan’s—and for the first ti, he felt fear.
Nolan’s voice cut through the tense silence like steel:
"You were strong... once. But now? You’re nothing."
The Iron King tried to roar, to strike back, to reclaim his pride—but Nolan’s sheer dominance was absolute. Every movent, every ounce of energy he had, was countered, absorbed, and nullified.
