Cecilia is pondering the condition she currently has, from being a captive, meeting her old acquaintance, and now she ventures the world to find her brother who she previously thought had already gone from this world. She can’t shake of the mixed feeling of anxiety and proud of her own bravery.She brushes her heard from side to side, trying her best to find a comfortable position to bring her to deep sleep. She stopped, but not because of comfort, but because she sees a shadowy figure creeping on them.“KYYAAAAAHHHH!” Yell Cecilia and alerting the others. The shadowy figure emerges and stepped into the light, turns out the figure is none other than George ambush squad. The group sloppily wake from their sleep and readies their battle position despite their eyes are not even opened fully. Suddenly, a number of George’s goon jumped from the bushes.“The hell. Who are these people.”“I reckon these clothing. It’s the same guys from the brothel!”“What? How do they know about our location
Devon finally arrived at Gallantros together with the four maidens. The city looked as lively as what Roxanne has told to her peers. The citizens were busy doing their daily activities. There were many shops and stalls, also people were walking around from place to place.“Well, I didn’t expect that the city would be this crowded.” Roxanne looked nervous. She had enough about what happened in Pandees. She hoped that this time there would not be some bad people with no morals coming up on her sleeves.“Sis Roxy, do not worry. You are not the only who feel retarded!” Arwen exclaimed her condition as a being that used to live peacefully in resorted area. Elves also had low contact with humans though. Looking at the great numbers of people gathered in one place was worrying but she was also excited actually.“Do you think we can find Mr. Rudeth in this big city?” Devon reminded the main purpose of their visit in Gallantros.“Oh, don’t worry about it. Master Dietrich told me that it would
It was still early in the morning. The sky was still dark but a tiny sunlight could bee seen from the East. Two girls already woke up and began to prepare a breakfast.“Arwen, could you help me?” Roxanne was in the broken kitchen. Inside the kitchen, there were some usable utensils. She wanted to make a soup.“Yes, sis Rox? What can I help you?” Arwen came inside the kitchen after she tidy up her appearance.“I believe this city has a morning market somewhere. I want to make a soup but I might need your help to buy some fresh veggies.” Roxanne explained her intention.“Okay, sis! I will get you some veggies!” Arwen nodded and she quickly departed.As Arwen started to walk near the entrance, she could hear rustling sounds somewhere nearby. Due to her curiosity, she tried to search the source of that sound.“We need to be careful. This thing is heavy.” A boy with red T-shirt warned his friend to lift the wood plank carefully.“Yes, got it! Help me out!” A boy wearing singlet tried to lif
Devon and his friends decided to start looking for more information today. But before they began to execute the investigation, Roxanne asked her peers and also the four boys to have breakfast together first. Cecillia and Arwen went together to the market to get some veggies. Fransesca was helping Roxanne to prepare and Devon helped the boys in packing up some building materials.After Arwen and Cecillia returned, Roxanne began cooking. While waiting until the meal was ready the others were discussing about the plan for their investigation.“Mr Rudeth once was a great guru, right? Where are his students?” Cecillia asked the boys perhaps they got any clue about them.“We don’t know where they are. It has been a long time since the tragedy happened.” A boy with wavy brown hair answered.“I think they are still hiding in this city. I believe sir Rudeth is still here too. He is not a coward! I hope he can put an end to this miserable way if life. I can
That curious pupil approached Roxanne and the boys. He called the magician girl.“Excuse me, miss. Are you looking for sir Rudeth?” The pupil asked. He planned to confront her.“Yes, sir. Do you know where is he?” Roxanne’s hope suddenly raised up.“I can tell you something but I think we can talk about it somewhere else. I suggest you come with me without those boys. It would be dangerous if the henchmen take the boys as hostage, right?” The pupil tried to make sure that he could interrogate the girl while separating her from the kids. He was afraid if Roxanne actually would use the kids as the hostage. He tried to test out whether Roxanne was actually Marquise’s minion or not.“Okay. I understand.” Roxanne believed that this man should be trustworthy. She asked the boys that she would handle it from now on. So it was a goodbye with the boys.Looking at how obedient Roxanne was, the pupil started to doubt her as a spy. But yet, there was
The Trio Warriors guided Devon and the girls to Rudeth’s hideout. It was hidden under the big city of Gallantros. After taking a walk through the stinky sewer, they finally arrived at a wide area. In front of that area, a big iron door captured their attention. Unos knocked on the door with with a rhythm to distinguish between allies and strangers. After a while the door was opened.“Let’s go inside.” Unos allowed Devon and his comrades to go inside the hideout.Duos and Tres followed them from the back making sure that no one was left behind. After everyone was finally inside, Duos closed the iron door.Looking at glance, the hideout looked like a bunker. The hall was not that shabby because there were some bright lamp placed at the edges of the room. Devon and his peers could see many men were staring at them. They must be Rudeth’s students who escaped with him after the tragedy. The air inside the hideout was not smelly nor that fragrant. There were som
After a short pause, Rudeth began to tell the chronology of the tragedy.“Long time ago, Gallantros was a prosperous city. People were having healthy business and they enjoyed their lives to the fullest without worry. The people in Gallantros entrusted their lives to the hand of The Marquise back then. To gain more of people’s trust, the Marquise built the Monastery and appointed me to be the person responsible in running the building. The Marquise wished that by training people of Gallantros to be proficient in combat as well as good in spiritual would enhance the power of the city.” Rudeth looked at ceiling. He began to remember the glorious days when he managed to assemble many men to learn the martial arts.“I have been training many of my students from generations. We spent our time with laughter and sadness. When the city was in danger due to criminal attack or other cases, we always get rid all of the injustice happened. You can say that the monastery might
“What a surprise! To see you being so aggressive like that gave me a goosebump!” Leviathan was astonished. “You chose the best option to develop your brain’s quality. Honestly I feel pleased!” Leviathan looked very satisfied that Devon would come up with that clever idea for the war.“Hahaha! You even provoked that old big guy and made him angry! I’m proud of you, boy!” Satan was looking forward to see Devon’s next decisions. He could not wait to see Devon became savage.“Well, I’m not sure. I just can’t help it! I just want to save people in Gallantros. Don’t get it wrong, you devils!” Devon tried to suggest on himself that he did because he really meant to save the citizens. Moreover, he did not want to be useless just like the previous cases happened. He wanted to act properly so no one would be in danger.“Whatever the reasons. As long as you can make us satisfied, I’m fine with that.” Beelzebub commented.Devon was attending a meeting right n
Without waiting any longer. Hudson requested that he would return to the Kingdom on the next day. He thanked Rudeth, Devon, and the girls for letting him stay there for one night.Hudson returned back to see the King and he showed the legal documents that stated about Conrad adopting Devon. While giving him the documents, Hudson also reported about how charismatic Devon was there. Many people welcomed him and felt happy to be with him. He was surprisingly good at handling administration too. Plus, he was still young and had such a great ambition to make everyone live in peace. It made him the best candidate to be a new Duke.“Oh, this is legit! And I believe your evaluation is a top notch.” The King was very pleased. “We will elect Devon as the new Duke of Wenovitch duchy. This is an order! Make the announcement and get ready for the coronation!” The King has ordered.Soon everyone started to get busy with their tasks. Devon and Rudeth was given a message from the King. It said that D
Devon and Rudeth was on their way to go back to Wenovitch Duchy. One of the King’s minister, Hudson joined up with them because he got a task from the King. Hudson told Rudeth and Devon the purpose of his visit to Wenovitch duchy was to find something that could be useful to decide the best candidate to be the new Duke. Rudeth and Devon said that they would help him out once they got there.“Anyway, I think you guys are so lucky. I have seen how Duke Conrad achieved many things in the past. He was such a great paladin. Knowing that he was defeated by the likes of you was indeed very amazing. I bet you guys have outstanding force.” Hudson expressed his opinion while trying to praise Rudeth and Devon. However, deep inside, Hudson seemed dissatisfied. He expected Rudeth and Devon defeated Duke Conrad elegantly by making use of their brain more than using brute force.That opinion got into Devon’s nerve because he could feel that this damn minister was still looking down at him. “Thank yo
On the next day, Rudeth and Devon went together to the Kingdom early in the morning. The carriages were all full with the prisoners including Lady Feya. The journey took about six hours until they finally arrived in the Kingdom.The King’s men excused themselves to bring all the prisoners to their dungeon. In front of the kingdom’s palace, a man was waiting for Rudeth arrival. He looked so formal with those noble costume and that shiny accessories.“Welcome, Baron Rudeth. I am Hudson. I will guide you to have an audience with the King.” Hudson introduced himself. His politeness somewhat made Devon felt uneasy. Devon could feel that that guy was looking down on him.Hudson guided Rudeth and Devon while giving them a simple tour. The palace was so big and luxurious. It was the first time for Devon to come in a very fancy place like this. He thought that the mansion was the best house he has ever seen. But now, he changed his mind.Looking at how Devon got excited to see the palace, Huds
Rudeth sent a messenger to report the case of demonic summoners to the King. The messenger brought a document written by Baron Rudeth and gave it to the ministry. He also explained the case that happened in Wenostra.The King received the report. One of the ministers in the throne room read the document written by Rudeth. In brief, the report explained about the case related to Wenovicth nobles. The Wenovitch family secretly created an organization that allowed them to make a pact and summon demons. This kind of practical was actually forbidden. Then, there was also a report that Rudeth and his party managed to capture lots of nobles doing the same practice as Wenovitch family.Hearing this kind of achievement, the King looked so happy. There were actually lots of reports back then regarding the similar case. However, the King and his subordinates could find perfect clues and proofs. Plus, lots of nobles were working together and they tried to cover each other making it hard for the K
Devon and Rudeth were discussing about how to start their hunting on the demonic cults. First of all, Rudeth has prepared lists of noble names in Wenostra. Devon read the list and he thought that his group right now was not enough to fight against those many nobles. After the fall of Wenovitch and the case that happened last night, it would be possible that the enemies were forming an alliance and get prepared to raid on Devon. They could even make use of the commoners to fight alongside them by threatening or brainwashing the commoners.“I see. Our number is not enough, right?” Rudeth asked for confirmation.“Yes, sir. Even if we have such a great power, we don’t have a clue about the enemies’ power. There might be enemies who contracted more powerful demons than Gesta’s.” Devon explained his opinion.“Ok! I will take are about the armies.” Rudeth got an idea. “I will send a letter to my students in Gallantros. They will surely come and help us!” Rudeth looked so optimistic.“Woah,
Devon then tried to practice some of his available skills such as his Master of Wit skill. The sensation was still the same. He could see a vision like a radar with lots of blue dots in it. Then he tried to grab the Midas Touch. He tried to touch the fresh fruit and it suddenly turned into gold.“Woah, Devon! That’s amazing!” Rudeth looked so overjoyed to see that Devon still got his skills and all of his belongings.Fransesca tried to grab the Invisible Cloak. When she wore the cloak, she went invisible just like how it used to be. Even if the artifact was used by another person, it was still effective.Devon tried to look around again to see if there were any other things missing. All the artifacts were all there plus he could see a bucket of money right beside the bed.“What even there are lots of money!?” Devon was shocked. He had Midas Touch with him and he thought that was enough for him to keep his wealth, but that lots of money was a bit too much for him.“Oh my god. Devon, yo
Devon has revived. He went back alive after he experienced being in a dream world like in afterlife. He has been asleep for a whole week. It made the others misunderstood his status. However, they kept on believing that Devon would return back to their side.He looked around and saw all of his dear people looked so happy with tears staining their cheeks. Vinette was right beside him, holding his hands with the loudest cry.“Brother!” Vinette hugged her brother and poured all of her tears. She was so happy that her brother returned back to stay by her side. She has been living in miserable life being held in the mansion. She was hopeless back then. But soon after she was rescued and knew her brother was coming as her savior, she was so grateful the she began to think about her future in a brighter way.“Vinette…” Devon called his sister. He patted her head and caressed her with love. “I’m back. So, please don’t cry… Or I’ll… I’ll cry too…” Devon burst in tear. He could not hold his gre
Devon staggers as Lahat Chereb pierces his body straight through his heart. Rudeth lets go of his grip on the sword and embeds it into the Demon King. The sword blazes violently as the Demon King Azazel screams in agony. The roar is so excruciating that even his armies of skeletons writhe in pain as if they have also been pierced by the holy sword.Eventually, the armies of skeleton start to disintegrate. Their bones start crumbling to dust, and their flames are extinguished into ashes, as if melting in the sunlight. While Azazel, with the sword still planted in his body are being engulfed by the sacred flame.“Aghh! Curse you, mortal! How dare you defy me! If only this damned sword does not exist, then you will kneel at my mercy!” The demon king throws curses and insults at Rudeth. But he just stood motionless since he just emerged victorious and the humanity is now saved and is now taking in the moment.After being burned alive by the Lahat Chereb for quite a while, the Demon King’s
The group is thrown into chaos as a battalion of bones marches towards them with an unrelenting pace. They stand frozen, uncertain of how to confront the situation. The glimmer of hope they had previously held onto from their victory over Devon, now feels like a distant memory. The air is thick with tension, as the group stands face to face with their formidable foe.As they engage in battle, the group begins to realize that their enemy is unrelenting. No matter how many bones they knock down, it feels like there's no end to the onslaught. Shareen, in a state of panic, continuously fires her holy arrows, but the numbers seem endless. The atmosphere is fraught with desperation, as they realize that they are outnumbered and outmatched. “How are we supposed to handle this? There are too many of them!" Said Shareen“We need to fall back!” Yelled Rudeth, informing the party to retreat against the impossible fight. The group unanimously agreed and proceeds to perform an escaping maneuver.
