Gameplay

Among the mighty Demons that could enter this world (DotA 2 battlefield), Doom Bringer rarely paid any attention to the happenings between Noninfernals and Lesser Spectral Consorts, Shadow Fiend came here just to collect Souls. As for the Shadow Demon, he was always filled with interest in the material world. In a way, he seemed to sense that holding a solid connection between the two worlds was the key to being able to rule the entire world.

Initially, the Shadow Demon was summoned by a small number of low-level Mages. He fulfilled their wishes, flaunting terrifying powers, until the high-class Scholars of Ecstasy took notice of his existence. Then, with the intention of using magic to maintain their brutal rule, the dictators also began to want to take advantage of the Shadow Demon's demonic forces.

Shadow Demon's art of deception is extremely clever, so those who summon him think that they are the masters, Shadow Demon is just a servant; but in fact, Shadow Demon is constantly devouring their minds, to force them to serve them. In the end, those who summoned him, all became his puppets, selling their lives because of his evil will.

No one can guess what the Shadow Demon wants to do in the next step, but right at that moment, Nevermore the Shadow Fiend accidentally swallowed a very fishy soul, and discovered traces of Shadow Demon in it.

Aware that the Shadow Demon was about to become a threat to his rule, the balance founded upon the Umbral Pact would cease to exist, Doom Bringer and Shadow Fiend formed immediately joined hands to destroy Shadow Demon's puppet army. Faced with the unimaginable power of both, the plot that Shadow Demon took hundreds of years to prepare was destroyed in an instant, his army of puppets was also annihilated – all members were killed. drowned in a sea of blood.

After the purge, nothing remained but a tiny fragment of the Shadow Demon himself. Immortal and unable to be smaller, that sliver was enough to sow the seeds of his next plot, and the first step, over the next few centuries, he began to "reunited". Anything that touches that little piece becomes infected, and the contagion grows stronger. The little pieces that were torn apart, now come together in a mess, and create a mess. Shadow Demon in a new form, more powerful than before. His regeneration was almost complete, and his plan to rule the world forever was even more elaborate than before. Even so, it looked like a lost existence. filled with such pure malice and evil, something that would threaten the safety of all living beings, would never have a place in our world…however, the followers of Shadow Demon have never been lacking.
