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

With his upgraded strength, Devon believed that he would do better in this current battle.“Does it ask you to do something cruel?” Fransesca Devon about the mission.“Nope. It asked me to defeat thirty enemies in two hours. The penalty is as usual.” Devon explained.“We can help you, bro Dev! We’re gonna make them weak so you can finish them all!” Arwen suggested an idea to avoid Devon being possessed.“Sounds like a good idea. I’m in!” Fransesca began to shoot her arrow and it hit the leg of one enemy.The battle between Devon’s team and Marquise’s henchmen finally started.The minions began to move closer to Devon and his team continuously. Some of them were equipped with knives and armors. The others were wearing an iron knuckles.<
