Demian's face looked pale and his body was trembling. If he hadn't stopped immediately after hearing Aretha's scream, Saber's pointed spear would have pierced his neck.
Saber laughed loudly. "Where did your anger go? Didn't you want to kill me?" Saber lowered his spear."Hell-dwellers like you don't deserve to live in the world!" snapped Demian."Enough!" Aretha's voice rang out despite the dust haze blocking the view.Saber laughed again. "Take out your weapon, Demian... so I can consider you as my enemy."When he saw Saber in person, Demian's confidence instantly disappeared. The embarrassment of despair and the desire to die had now turned into fear. He could tell that Saber didn't think of him as someone worth fighting."What do you want, Saber?" Demian asked."I want to destroy all the residents of Kinjang City-""No!" Aretha's voice came back. "Mr. Demian, Mr. Saber will only kill people who brandish weapoFor three days, Kidnagan was forced to confine himself as Aretha refused to eat due to her disappointment over the destruction of Kinjang City.Although Aretha's body looked weak, Kidnagan could only urge her to pay attention to her health. Kidnagan of course realized that Aretha was also very angry with him."Aretha, how long will you judge yourself?" Kidnagan asked.Aretha lay down with her back to Kidnagan, who was sitting next to the bed."Let's make an agreement to mediate this difference."Aretha took a sitting position. "What can I get?" Aretha's voice sounded hoarse. "I don't have anything to offer.""I intend to marry you. As such, you have a bit of authority in taking action...."Kidnagan added the explanation that Saber wanted to establish a kingdom. With the current strength of Saber's followers, Saber was able to balance the war with the Artshimmeri kingdom."If I become your wife, can you stop kill
A week later, the wedding was held. The evening was more festive than ever.Saber married two young girls from the village he was allied with, while Kidnagan married Aretha.The two couples sat watching the people dance around the campfire.Aretha looked so elegant. The dress she wore was made of threads covered in gold. Even the shoes she wore were made of gold and the highest quality animal skins. The gold crown she wore further showed how beautiful Aretha was.Although she looked awkward when people congratulated her, Aretha tried to smile as friendly as possible.Although Saber's followers showed their naivety because they were mesmerized by Aretha's makeup Kidnagan was still acting as usual.The luxurious clothes Kidnagan wore only further showed the class differences that were so obvious with ordinary people.Kidnagan's calm demeanor also seemed to announce that he was a superior human being who ignored the impress
"Enough, Kidnagan." Boyzka intervened. "Right now, you are the main force of this city. If you wander off, I'm afraid the Artshimmeri Kingdom could wipe us out.""Very well," Kidnagan responded. "I will strengthen the army for absolute superiority."Kidnagan left.On the other hand, Reysri and Aldof looked at each other because they felt that Kidnagan had been hiding something from all of them.***Kidnagan slept in each other's arms with Aretha.Aretha was seen smiling because she dreamed that Kidnagan had turned into a good person.In the dream, the two of them lived happily on a foreign island that looked very beautiful.Unbeknownst to him, Aretha's body emitted glowing smoke until Kidnagan inhaled it.A strange reaction shot through Kidnagan's entire body.Kidnagan seemed to float in the air with his body feeling very light. Kidnagan could feel that he had inhaled something that could refre
Kidnagan set up camp near the northern outermost fort.He chose that place because there was a forest-like area of trees.Aretha took out the cooking utensils and ingredients. Although surprised, she did not ask about Kidnagan's behavior which was different from usual.After finishing setting up the tent, Kidnagan sat down next to Aretha. "Aretha, did you use 'Esper Energy' on me?"Aretha looked at Kidnagan in astonishment. "My husband, I don't know what you're asking," Aretha replied.Kidnagan told Aretha all about the dream. All the foreign terms spoken by the man who claimed to be Kidnagan's father were revealed to Aretha.Although she didn't know the cause of the dream, Aretha was happy that Kidnagan began to show a difference in tone of voice and began to be friendly."The cluster of continents called the 'Ring of Frozen Dragon' is probably where we live," Aretha said."Please tell me what you know," Kidnag
Despite having recovered his strength, Kidnagan continued with the camp as he still wanted to find out how Aretha could use 'Esper Energy'.Kidnagan suspected that the glowing smoke that Aretha's body could release was 'Esper Energy'.Unfortunately, the observation did not go well. Kidnagan was unable to solve the riddle of Aretha who was unknowingly able to use 'Esper Energy'.Knowing that Boyzka had returned from searching for ingredients for the 'Rafael's Breath' potion, Kidnagan returned to the palace.Kidnagan was greeted with applause from Fred, Boyzka, and Saber.The three men felt that Kidnagan had had enough of making out with Aretha.Kidnagan shook his head in mockery. "Right away, put all the ingredients into the alchemy room. Put in just one grasshopper monster. The rest, maybe can be roasted for the party.""What?" Boyzka gasped. "What about the fifty dozens of grasshopper monsters we've painstakingly captur
Kidnagan and Aretha found Saber relaxing on the palace terrace."Saber, what kind of plant trait do you want to use as a border?"Saber yawned. "Can you make plants into human predators?""Yes, I can. But even animals and monsters can become their food."Saber stared with a smiling face. "If possible, make the trees into ferocious monsters so that other kingdoms can't bother us."Kidnagan explained that he could change plants to be able to move, attack; and instinctively consider human bodies as food.In addition, Kidnagan also explained that trees would become very large, have very strong fibers, and have poisonous thorns."Perfect!" Saber said. "Thus, this City will be even more difficult for any party to attack.""Then, protect me while I concentrate on writing consciousness on the 'Consciousness Generating Crystal'."Saber laughed as Kidnagan revealed the form of the 'Consciousness Generating Crysta
In the evening, Kidnagan joined Saber and the executives sitting around a large table in the meeting room. He was attending a meeting about the territory expansion that would take place the next day.Meanwhile, Aretha sat on the edge of the main table with the wives of the executives and Saber. Although awkward, Aretha tried to enjoy the meal. The women very rarely discussed power.Like today, they chose to discuss fancy clothes, jewelry, good food, and things they liked. They did not touch on the world of men at all, even though they were paranungsas. It was a long-held tradition to secure their lives from the cruelty of the male world.Instantly, the sound of chatter became small as Saber started the meeting."Alright." Saber unfolded a map made of animal skin. "I want Kinjang City to be included in our territory too."Saber then drew a circle using an anchor, with the center pointing to Saber City.With the circle he made, the 3 cities in the west would be included in the 'Territor
Saber walked over to Aretha. "Didn't you see the troop of heralds last night?" Saber pointed to the cross pillar near the gate. "Those five men are my troops that you saw last night.""Please, give them one more chance.""Sure." Saber stretched his muscles. "If they can escape from my troops.""No! You must pull back your troops!"Aretha was helpless in the face of Kidnagan's arms. She could only watch as Saber's horsemen lined up neatly, slowly approaching the village.The mages and esper in the village trembled at the sight of Saber's troops.It was the first time in their history that they had seen an army riding a horse monster. Although the mammoth monsters did not attack, they knew how difficult it was to face the monsters.Most of the 'paranungsa' in the village were survivors of villages that had been invaded by monsters. They agreed to unite in the village to survive as a group. Unfortunately, the 3-meter tall monster had the strength equivalent to a 3rd level esper. They cer
