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 wasThe 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
[NEW MISSION][DEFEAT 30 ENEMIES][REWARD : 500 DC][TIME LIMIT : 2 HOURS][PENALTY : LOST CONSCIOUSNESS]“Ah, new mission appeared.” Devon was ready to execute his attack. 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.<
The war ended with Devon and Rudeth achieved victory. Rudeth was now taking over the fortress. He asked his students to put Marquise Gillian and all of his alive troops into the jail. For the deceased henchmen, Rudeth asked his students to bury them. However, it was not really over yet. He hoped that his agent would report this case to the King so that everything would really settle down.During the post war, all the citizens were released from the shelter. Since there would be no more danger, they were safe to return back home. Tres and Cecillia still looked after the city in case there were still remnants of Marquise Gillian. Some of Rudeth’s students decided to return to their respective homes after long time of hiding in the hideout. They looked so happy with their blessfull reunions. Tears and joy painted the gloomy city of Gallantros. There would be no fear and worried for the time being.“Devon and the others really did it.” Cecillia seemed so happy. Even th
On the next day, Devon and his friends visited the fortress. The fortress was crowded with lots of people of Gallantros. They looked so excited to see Rudeth would be promoted. It seemed like the ceremony has not started yet.“Wow, so many people here!” Arwen was enticed by lots of people gathered in one place just to see a ceremony. As the only elf in the city, she did not feel anxious for being a minority.“Yesterday we met lot of people too, right? But they were enemies.” Fransesca looked around. There were also people lie royal guards standing in front of the fortress gate.“Should we look around or try coming in?” Devon asked for his friends’ opinion.When they were talking, a man suddenly came to them and greeted them.“Hey, Devon and the girls? Why are you standing here?” Unos greeted them. He just returned from the hideout.“Well, I think we come too earl for the ceremony.” Devon answered.“I see. Let’s wait insi
Rudeth was still puzzled. He could not expect about killing Devon, the boy who has helped him for the revolution. But if it was really true that Devon was bieng the hostage of the seven demons inside him, he thought it might be dangerous too for the boy. Since DIetrich the wise man himself actually decided to choose this path, it must be the best way. But still, Rudeth still needed to convey his determination to do it. That was why he would need some time to think.“Roxanne, I want to talk with Devon. Four eyes with him. Would you please call him out? You and the others can wait outside.” Rudeth asked the lass with bitter face shown.“Alright, Sir Rudeth.” Roxanne left the room and she asked Devon to come inside the room to have a private talk with Baron Rudeth.The atmosphere was quite intense but gloomy all of a sudden. Rudeth could not think about killing this poor boy in his hands.“Excuse me, Baron Rudeth. Did Roxanne finally tell you?” Devon asked.“Yes. More or less. I understa
Rudeth went to the royal library after he finally got his leisure time. He has been going from place to place while attending some meetings with the other nobles. It was quite exhausting. Now was the perfect time for him to search for the knowledge about demons.He arrived in the library and started to look for books related to demons. He believed that this library would provide him the knowledge.“Excuse me, Baron Rudeth.” A scholar greeted Rudeth. He was also looking for some books to read.“Hello, young man. Coming here to read?” Rudeth responded.“Yes, Sir. I used to read here. I think it is my first time seeing you come here.” The scholar looked at Rudeth with curiosity. A big buffed guy visiting library was quite unusual sight.“Well, yes. I got the access recently anyway.” Rudeth was still searching his wanted books but he still could not find it.“I see. By the way what is it that you are looking for, Baron Rudeth? Maybe I can help you.” The scholar offered his help because he
