Abyssal Chronicles Novel

In the northern world, a protracted war between races and demons concludes. The black-haired, red-eyed Demon Lord, ruling from her obsidian palace, has repeatedly vanquished the world's strongest being, the Goddess. To prevent her rebirth, the Demon Lord spares her life. Outside, explosions herald the alliance's victory, despite the Demon Lord's acknowledgment of her people's overall weakness against humans who have developed fighting energy and mana. Foreseeing the Alliance's intention to enslave abyssal demons, the Demon Lord initiates a forbidden, self-sacrificing spell. As allied forces breach the palace, they falter before the spell's power. The Demon Lord vows defiance and rebirth to save her race. The Goddess, recalling the Demon Lord's past actions and respecting her devotion, questions if the Demon Lord could abandon her duty to her people. Bound by a duty to restore her race's glory, the Demon Lord’s resolve remains. The Goddess prepares her sword to meet the spell's catastrophic release, a mushroom cloud signifying the war's end and a new epoch. Both become legends, their tales recounted through history.
