After some hours have passed, Roxanne returned to the inn she was staying at with her friends. She wanted to invite the girls to join her visit to Rudeth’s mansion. Right at the outside of the inn, she met with Devon.“Oh, Dev. Where are you going?” Roxanne could see Devon brought a bag with some tools and equipment.“Oh, hey Rox! I’m going to the monastery. I’m going to help the trio with renovating some rooms. Catch ya later!” Devon quickly ran away to the monastery.“Oh my God. How can I be so cruel to him …” Roxanne could feel her guilt rising up again. Looking at how lively and full of spirit Devon was, it made her uncomfortable. “There is no holding back! I must do it!” Roxanne thought that she needed to do it as soon as possible before her sentimentality conquered her even more.Roxanne went inside the inn and tried to look for her friends. Roxanne searched the bedroom but none of them were spotted. She then walked to the kitchen and the girls were all there. It seemed like the
Unos delivered Rudeth’s message to Devon as soon as they done with today’s job. Devon accepted the offer but he needed to go back to the inn first to inform his friends about the banquet.Devon went back to the inn and told his friends about Viscount Klein’s idea to hold a banquet in his mansion. The girls were looking forward to join in the banquet. They looked excited except Roxanne. Devon could see that Roxanne looked a bit down lately. He wanted to ask her directly but he thought that Roxanne might need her time for now. Devon also told the girls that he was going to visit Rudeth because Rudeth wanted to talk with him in private. The girls gave him a good luck and encouraging words and it made Devon felt even better. However, as Roxanne saw Devon left the room and headed to Rudeth’s place, she thought that it would be the last time for her to see Devon with his smile. She thought that Rudeth might want to see him because he already decided to kill Devon soon.D
On the next day, Baron Rudeth was invited by one of his loyal students, Duos. Duos asked his master to follow him to the construction of the monastery. Rudeth agreed and he went there together with his student.Arrived at the designated place, the construction of the new monastery was almost done. Rudeth was very proud of his students. They have done their best to rebuild the monastery. As an appreciation for his students’ hard work, Rudeth planned to treat them all with feast later. The students asked for Rudeth’s opinion about the placement of the furniture in each rooms. Rudeth gladly suggested them about his opinion. While Rudeth was looking around in each rooms in the monastery, he bumped into Devon.“Oh! My apologize, sir Rudeth! I did not see you coming.” Devon apologized. He was busy pulling big furniture with him. Rudeth was a bit amazed because Devon actually got that kind of strength. Rudeth could also see that Devon’s body appearance started to develop.
After Devon was told by Rudeth about the truth, he wanted to spend his last moments by walking around the city of Gallantros. He felt heavy to bid farewell to his friends yet. He wanted to comfort his mind and heart first by taking a walk through the city. He just arrived here in the city not so long and he already enjoyed living here. He kept on walking and see the busy town with lots of people.Some citizens knew about Devon. He was quite well-known because he has been helping out in rebuilding the city along with the citizens and Rudeth’s students.“Devon boy! How are you doing?” A middle-aged man called Devon. He looked like having a difficulty in moving some sacks of sand.“I’m fine, Sir. Let me help you.” Devon answered that man’s greeting and he quickly helped him to move some sacks to the house.“Oh, thank you boy. I can do it myself actually.” The man thanked Devon.“It’s alright, sir. I just want to help.” Devon tried to show of
Devon continued his way to the inn. However, his step was stopped when he saw a crowd of people gathered around in one area. Someone was announcing to the people about the banquet held by Viscount Klein. Devon could see that many citizens were very enthusiastic and looked forward for it. Viscount Klein’s idea was indeed very effective to unite the people of Gallantros.Not long after that, Devon could see some carts to the city and they headed to the direction of Viscount Klein’s mansion. They were nobles from other regions. Viscount Klein invited not only people from Gallantros to his banquet actually, but he invited nobles from other regions too to celebrate the recovery of Gallantros. Viscount Klein might be very famous.Knowing those nobles coming to Gallantros, Devon suddenly felt something was suspicious. He was not really sure about his sudden feeling but he could sense something dangerous. Because he was so curious, Devon tried to use his Master of Wit skil
Devon and the girls finally arrived at the inn and they gathered up together with the others.“Devon, how was your talk with sir Rudeth?” Fransesca started to ask. She looked a bit worried. “have you found the way to tame the demons?”“Hmm. I’m not really sure. Sir Dietrich was still busy with his job. We haven’t actually finished our discussion. Before the banquet begin, I’m going to see him again to discuss more.” Devon lied. He did not want to reveal the result if his meeting with Rudeth before. He was determined to tell his friends about his last moments in life and he was about to bid fareell to them but knowing that his revenge was not accomplished, he wanted to finish that thing first. That was why Devon did not care if he lied to the girls.“I see. Well, I wish you luck then, Bro! Once you have been cured, I …” Arwen suddenly paused her talking. “I think I wanna spend more time with you and explore the world!” Arwen said it out, her wish to be free.“I’m coming with you, Arwen
“Devon!? What are you doing here?” Rudeth asked. His arrival was so sudden.“Sir Rudeth. I need to talk with you four eyes!” Devon was eager to tell Rudeth about his new will.“I’m sorry but as you can see, I am going to the banquet now. I don’t want to come late!” Rudeth wanted to refuse. “Or, are you changing your mind?” Rudeth’s sharp intuition told him so.“Please, I beg you. Just some minutes is enough!” Devon was still persistent. He did not want to let Rudeth go.“What should we do, Master?” Unos who was standing behind Rudeth looked clueless.Rudeth could see Devon with his seriousness. It can bee seen clearly by the look in Devon’s eyes. Rudteh decided to to take Devon in private chat.“Unos, please wait here. I will let this boy have a chat with me inside.” Rudeth ordered his student to wait outside and allowed Devon to come with him to the mansion.Devon thanked and he followed Rudeth to the mansion. Unos kept
It was the night before the party celebrating the liberation of Gallantros would take place. As one of the key players making impact in the decisive battle, Rudeth was of course invited as one of the guests. Unos, Duos, and Tres, are his closest and most trustworthy of his pupils, so it was not any wonder for them to have their hopes high to be selected as Rudeth’s escort for the night. Especially when they were asked to come visiting their master’s chamber.“Guys, you’ve been summoned by Master Rudeth as well?” asked Unos when he saw Duos and Tres along the way. “Here I thought I would be a single candidate for escorting Master Rudeth.”“Trust me, each one of us thought the same way. You know that we became his pupils at almost the same time, making all of us equal,” replied Tres. “It’s either one of us, or all of us. There’s no in between.”“Why don’t we make this more interesting? Let’s place a bet, pool in some money and the winner will take all!” suggested Duos, showing his comra
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.
