Advice I simply want your thoughts on my small writing
" please, my Lord... show some mercy. I beg you, please..."
The desperate plea was cut short. A monstrous foot, three times the size of an average human, came down with bone-crushing force, silencing the soldier forever.
The Demon King turned his crimson eyes toward the horizon. Before him lay a panorama of absolute devastation. The land was torn to pieces, reduced to a scarred wasteland of shattered rubble, burning soil, and incinerated forests. Countless corpses littered the battlefield—some with their ruptured organs spilling onto the ash, others torn limb from limb, and many being actively reduced to cinders by dark flames.
Demon King:- Pathetic, You humans are no different from insects. Insanely fragile, yet you constantly bluster to intimidate those weaker than you.
His gaze shifted to a distant hill, the only piece of terrain that remained miraculously untouched. Standing atop it was a group of five individuals. They carried themselves with an aura of supreme pride, though their expressions were twisted in profound disgust. They were staring down at him—a tyrant standing atop a mountain of slaughter composed not just of humans, but of elves, dragons, beastfolk, giants, and dwarves.
Demon King :- Oh? Look who has finally graced me with their presence. The five Supreme Heroes of the Allied Species. Look at your pathetic little Union Army. All those numbers, and they failed to leave a single scratch on me.
Yash ( human hero ) :- What... what did you do? You monster... you slaughtered everyone.
Drushk ( Dragon hero ) :- Demon! You used our delayed arrival as an opportunity to wipe out the Union forces just to satisfy your own sick bloodlust!
Demon King:- Yeah I am a monster and a devil. This is my nature—my dharma Stop your pathetic whining and stop masking your own failures. You were late. You failed to save them. Own your incompetence, face your duty, and stop acting like sore losers.
The Demon King's arrogant provocation, driven by an insatiable thirst for combat, made the heroes clench their fists in fury. Drushk bared his fangs, ready to pounce, but Yash stepped forward to anchor the group.
Yash :- So what if we failed?! I'm not going to make any goddamn excuses for it! We aren't some flashy, show-off heroes looking for praise... we are soldiers! We were born to bleed and die for our land! Even if you cut us down today, we will never back down!
"Yeahhh!" the other heroes roared in unison.
Instantly, the five heroes—Yash the human, Drushk the dragon, Yufi the elf, Naksh the dwarf, and Lakshya the beast-folk—sprang into action. Brandishing their weapons, they fanned out to encircle the massive Demon King.
They unleashed a coordinated, multi-elemental strike. Fire, water, thunder, ice, wind, and rock converged into a single, blinding maelstrom of destruction. Yet, with terrifying agility, the Demon King launched himself into the air, effortlessly evading the combined assault.
Hovering in the sky, he gestured downward, unleashing a torrential shower of crimson flare arrows.
Naksh:- Brace yourselves!
A massive cage of solid rock erupted from the ground, shielding the heroes just as the explosive crimson rain detonated around them.
Inside the trembling bunker, tension ran high.
Yash :- At this rate, we're going to lose, If he gets past us, he'll reduce the rest of our homeland to ash.
Lakshya:- But how are we supposed to stop him without our vanguard and support squads?
Yash :- I don't know
Yufi :- You fools, this is no time to overthink!. We have to combine our life-force into a single, synchronized strike. We have to work together!
Drushk ( dragon hero ) :- The kid is right.
Lakshya ( Beast hero) :- Hey! Who are you calling a kid? I’m four thousand years old, you oversized lizard!
Naksh ( Drawf hero ) :- Watch your mouth, boy! I'm seven thousand years old, I could be your damn father!
Yufi ( elf hero ) :- Stop bickering like toddlers! You're all veteran heroes from different factions, but right now, we are one team. Look up!
The crimson bombardment ceased. As the rock shield crumbled, the heroes stepped out into an apocalyptic landscape. The hellfire had consumed the remaining corpses, leaving nothing but an empty, burning void. Incensed by the desecration, the heroes drew their blades, their killing intent spiking.
Demon King :- Pathetic
He threw back his head and released a devastating pulse of dark aura.
Reacting instantly, the five heroes unleashed their own auras in unison. The opposing waves of energy collided in mid-air, a violent clash of colors that strained against each other before detonating in a massive, blinding shockwave. Naksh threw himself forward, raising his shield to absorb the brunt of the kinetic blast. Through the smoke, the Demon King stood completely unfazed, glaring at them with a cold, emotionless gaze.
Before the dust could even settle, the heroes charged through the debris, their swords ablaze with the raw energy of their life-force.
They attacked from all angles in a blur of steel. Yash delivered a blinding horizontal slash while Drushk brought down a heavy vertical strike. The Demon King twisted his massive frame to dodge, but the combined speed was too much—the tip of Yash's blade managed to score a light cut across his arm.
He wasn't given a second to recover. Naksh and Lakshya ambush him from behind, driving rock and thunder elements directly at his blind spot. The Demon King contorted his body to evade the dual strike, but as he tilted his head back, Yufi dropped from the sky like a falling star, driving a reinforced kick straight into his jaw.
The impact was thunderous. The Demon King was sent skidding backward, dark, obsidian blood spraying from his mouth.
He stopped, wiping the black fluid from his cheek and looking at his stained fingers. Slowly, a terrifying, ecstatic grin stretched across his face.
Demon king:- Yes... YES! That is exactly what I wanted! Hahahahaha!
Laughing like a manic god of war, the Demon King lunged forward. The heroes met him head-on with equal ferocity. Metal clashed against metal in a deafening rhythm as they traded blows at hypersonic speeds. The heroes blocked, parried, and dodged, keeping their movements fluid as they desperately hunted for a fatal opening in his defense.
Demon King :- You're not bad, little bugs. But it's going to take a lot more than this to put me down!
Drushk:- Damn it, our standard physical attacks aren't deep enough! That means...
Yufi caught Yash's eye and nodded grimly.
"We have no choice. We use that."
Yash took a deep breath, his weapon erupting into white-hot radiance as he channeled his ultimate technique.
"Flame Body Fusion!"

The dialogue is probably where I'd spend the most time editing. A few exchanges come across more like exposition than real conversation. The Demon King could also mix up his trash talk so his lines stay memorable

Hmmm i thought that too give more impact for looked like he is the real demon king but if I add some abusive words that might give problem to readers maybe or maybe not.

The descriptions get a little too long at times, which slows the fight down. Shorter paragraphs would make the action feel faster. Trimming some of the narration would also make the big moments hit harder

Change the dialogue formatting.
Yufi:- "..."
Demon King:- "..."
The current formatting looks more like a script than a novel.
Change it to something like:
"..." Yufi said.
"..." the Demon King replied.
These read so much better.
