The doors slammed shut behind Zeke and his allies. They don’t have any interest going back to the ball. Other than them not actually being welcome there, Zeke knows that doing so would only add insult to injury, knowing that the queen of the kingdom has now been humiliated beyond compare. Though instead of feeling guilty about it, all of them are elated.“That was amazing my lord!” Caster exclaimed as soon as they are a couple of steps away from the doors of the place where the party is being held. Though Zeke doubts if there is any sort of party that can still be done after what just happened.“Quiet down. The elves might get a lot angrier if they hear you in that tone.” Silver warned as she elbowed Caster.“They can be angry all they want! There’s not a single hair on my skin that they can touch because of my lord!” Caster added, being the only one of the three dark elves who is outwardly showing just how much he is impressed by Zeke. The other two are the same of course, though the
The thing that Zeke expected is the very same thing that happened. Just as he thought and just as Sylvia feared, the elven kingdom withdrew their forces from the northern part of the border of the Forge kingdom. They aren’t even hiding their desire to forsake this post at all. They went as blatant with it as they can possibly do.Within a week after Zeke and his allies returned to the Forge kingdom, all of the elves get out of this place. The thing that they used as an excuse is that they are lacking manpower now. With the demon lord’s forces steadily increasing in size and power, the queen simply said that they need all of the help they can get if they are going to survive whatever it is that has yet to come. That is the entirety of the excuse that they are using.This should be a cause for concern and, it is. For the old Forge kingdom, this would be a big problem. After all, this is a land that’s built upon the belief that they aren’t strong enough to fend for themselves. That is th
Before all of this, Sylvia asked Zeke what his plan is. Sylvia asked if there is any reasonable explanation why Zeke is so sure that they will win. If there isn’t any, then this is the first ever instance where she will go against him.It’s too high of a risk. Too much of a gamble. This is the future of the Forge kingdom that is being placed as a gambling chip in what Zeke hopes to do. That is why Sylvia is heavily against it and, to this, Zeke has simple answers.One is that there’s nothing that can be done by Sylvia anymore. Apologizing to the elven kingdom will not bring any sort of good outcome. The damage has been done and if they try to mend it at that point, Zeke’s sure that the elven kingdom will just begin asking more and more from them. Something that will be more detrimental to the Forge kingdom.“We cannot let them keep on picking on us. This is where we draw the line.” These are the words that Zeke said to Sylvia who is still reluctant to accept the current state of affai
From a distance, everyone bore witness to what Zeke accomplished. They witnessed a large crystal like object suddenly rise to the sky. Enclosing the whole of the monsters that marched towards the kingdom of Forge…not all of them but most. Leaving nothing more than around twenty or even less that has to face the dark elves.This instantly made the monsters back away. With their numbers dwindled down to such a size, they have lost any and all confidence that they can still win. But they aren’t getting out that easily. Right as the Chamber is casted, Zeke released his smoke bombs as well. Scattering them across the battlefield during the rise of the hurricane of purple mana and using this as a tool to spread the bombs in the air. That’s why right as this ended and right as the Chamber is created, the bombs activated. Just the way that Zeke intended it to happen.This prevented the remainder of the monsters from escaping. Leaving them there to be dealt with by three dark elves that are n
Outside of Zeke’s chamber, this is how things went down. The three dark elves distributed the monsters that they needed to fight based on the types available and how well they can counter these opponents. Naturally, this means that the two archers are working together and taking down the melee monsters that cannot ever reach them and, as for the long-ranged ones, it is Caster who deals with them.The fight didn’t last long because the monsters cannot see nor hear much within the cloud of smoke that Zeke made. There is no chance for them to fight back properly and, inversely, the dark elves can do anything and everything at that point.With the powers they gained from Zeke Elwood and, all of the items and weaponry gained from this same hero, they have elevated to a point where they are stronger compared to how they were before joining Zeke in his journey towards the elven kingdom. That is how things went. That is how everything went down.The outcome of all of this is, hence, something
Aries, Silver, and Caster followed the command left to them by their lord. The way that they’ve been with Zeke through two whole weeks of travel and an extra one more day in the elven kingdom has shown them just how strong and powerful their hero is. This has also affected them in more ways than they’re actually still aware of.That being said, they went straight to where Sylvia is. Right on top of a tall wall that was built by the laborer dark elves overnight. The three are already thinking of good things. They’re following the orders of Zeke after all so there shouldn’t be any problem. Yet it is problem that they found right away – in the form of an arrow that shot past them in a blinding speed. Not one of these three are able to react to it. Not a single one. All of them remained where they are not because of the arrow but, because of the bloodlust that came with it.“You all should already be aware that my eyes are the sharpest in the whole of our kingdom.” These are the words th
“My queen!”Sylph came barging inside the courtroom of queen Elizabeth. This time around there is an obvious tone of hurriedness mixed with concern in his tone. Just from the two words that he said this can be read and interpreted. Though the soldiers guarding the queen aren’t able to pick it up right away. How can they when they’re already focused on the shock of Sylph making such an audacious appearance.“Ah. There’s my favorite little attendant.” Queen Elizabeth offered a smile. She’s ready to pass this whole thing as nothing more than a joke. It won’t be difficult to diffuse the situation at that point with the queen still being in this mood. “What can I help you with?” Queen Elizabeth added, still using the same playful tone that she mustered earlier.“I heard about the news.” Sylph said, not even pausing in between his words. “Is it true that we are withdrawing our forces from the north?”Things are beginning to tense up. Even though the queen has given Sylph the opportunity to
Daemon. That is the name of the demon lord. A name that’s never spoken by any mortal. For fear that they would be struck down and killed. Their words being heard by every shadow and every bit of darkness that’s spread across the land.This isn’t some mere gossip or hearsay. There are testaments of those who went through the things that have been said. There are reports of those who have truly been cursed and plague simply because they are stupid enough to test whether or not this is real.Hence, the name of the demon lord has faded within the history of mankind. Nobody dared even learn about it anymore. And now, it is only a select few who still remember him by name. This including the demon generals that aide the demon lord in his conquest to bring the whole of Ragna to darkness and, one of them arrived in that room at that very moment.“Astaroth…”Daemon didn’t even need to turn his head. The demon lord continued looking at the flames of the fireplace. All of the blisters as well as
