Zeliker and Silvert move fast at lightning speed. First, they appear near the house where they sense Hien's aura. They also sensed lots of left demon auras that were going to disappear soon. The demon auras seem to belong to the thief and kidnapper because Zeliker and Silvert can feel it was not the demon aura that comes regularly into the house, which was Hein’s soldiers.

Zeliker doesn’t have his attention on the auras with big lines that can be seen from his demon eyes. He was focusing on the auras of a thin line that he guessed belonged to the baby. Moreover, his heightened nose can smell the baby milky smell and powder.

“That way.”

Zeliker vanished and was followed by Silvert who sensed it too. They run to the southeast. Along the way, they met with several Hein soldiers who were searching for the baby trails. Unfortunately, the trails end somewhere near a river. Zeliker and Silvert passed them.

The human soldiers didn’t notice it but the demon soldier felt some people pass by.

    “Urgh… Where am I?” Trez slowly blinked his eyes and looked around the room he was in.He never thought he would still be alive. His hand went to his neck when he felt some kind of soft material on it. His eyes snapped open wide when he couldn't feel the steel collar anymore.“Wha, What? I’m… I’m free?” He felt unbelievable and touched all over his neck.“Ah, you have awakened. Thank goodness.” Someone said to him.Trez turns his head to a door that looks like the entrance to this room.“Who are you?” He asked with a cautious look.“Silvert. But it’s not me who rescued you from your death.” Silvert went near Trez's bed.“Then, who is it? I… I need to thank them then…”He still remembered what he did and slight anger rose when he thought about his defeat in a human hand.“You can thank him later. He is sort of busy right now.” Silvert then snapped his hand and a tray of meals appeared near the small cabinet beside Trez's bed.“You’re free now. Do you have anywhere you wish to go? I ca

    "Zeliker, I have not changed. I still hate demons from the bottom of my heart. They are the reason that I lost my queen and my daughter." Elamos told something about his past.Astonishment, pity and guilt could be seen in Zeliker's eyes after he heard it."How did… They die…?" He asked in a low voice while lowering his eyes.Elamos lips slowly curve into a sad smile."I was betrayed by the one I consider a best friend. It happened around fifteen years ago and is the reason I hate demons so much. I only have two children. She was the youngest. And Zelfon, you have met him. He was the oldest."Elamos retold his past and he still couldn't forget the day his wife and her daughter passed away. Listening to the story made Zeliker's eyes turn sorrowful. He knew how much pain it was to lose someone. He too… Had lost his mother…'But the one who killed her was…''Zeliker grit his teeth hard. Then, shook his head harshly. 'The past was the past. Nothing can change it anymore. It must be the re

  • GUIDE FROM THE PAST TO A NEW ERA   CHAPTER 26: DISCUSSION

    The same night that Zeliker was requested to unite the humans' and demons' kingdoms, he and all his friends including Trez and the group of slaves gathered in the mansion dining hall in the dimension. The slaves were forced to sit since they feel inferior. Why? Because there was a gap in ranking between them and Zeliker, the royal demon. They felt it was wrong to sit and so were forced to sit by Silvert. Only Enta looked normal, well, he was always disrespectful, whether you were royals or not. Zeliker felt Enta's hateful gaze but he could see Enta had almost reached the gate to upgrade his rank from the lowest to the middle rank. Such a thing to happen was unusual and not many demons can do that. For example, Silvert. He had become a high-rank demon from the middle rank after the latter was taught by Zeliker and also because of his hard work. Zeliker then ignored Enta and looked at his friends one by one. Xcerox and Miulwess have their seats closed to him where he sat at the

  • GUIDE FROM THE PAST TO A NEW ERA   CHAPTER 27: HUGE MISUNDERSTANDING

    The next morning, Zeliker and Silvert woke early before the sky brightened and went for a run around the city. Zeliker has been doing the morning exercise since he realised he wasn’t strong enough. Silvert eyed him with a dumbfounded expression after hearing his complaints. He quietly thought, if Zeliker feels he wasn’t strong, how about those who were a level lower than him. Stronger Zeliker means their gaps were getting much further. For that reason, he would come along to do the morning exercise along with Zeliker.“Silvert, do you know that our ability has different levels of power?” Zeliker asked while they were on the way to return to the palace.“Aren’t our powers based on our ranking?” Silvert was confused.“No. I heard my father say before that I was only at the end of the Foundation Establishment Stage. I just remembered it now. Does that mean there were also stages for power? I wanted to ask him but I couldn’t get close to him. You know that… Right?” Zeliker's eyes slowly

    Zelfon was speechless after looking at Xcerox. He flinches when Xcerox starts to get near him and glowers at him."Why have you never told me any of this?!" He asked in a small yell.Zelfon could not understand for a moment. Was Xcerox asking about the past or his well-being?He moved his body to sit and felt a tinge of pain in his head. It seems just like before, the scramble memories were still unable to piece together. The pain was hidden by his expressionless face."What now, Xcerox? Clearly, you have never allowed me to explain. Why after seeing me like this that you felt the need to ask? I have nothing to say to you. Please leave." Zelfon turned paler because of the incoming headache. He didn't want to have a further conversation because it was pointless. It will become worse like always. He knows he was unable to tell Xcerox anything because he can't remember the past.Moreover, it felt like he did see a boy get killed but the blood and scattered pearls along with the screamin

    “Welcome to our base, Zelfon. You can reach us all in Eskimos quickly through here.” Xcerox shows the mansion in the dimension after opening the door through his keychain.Zelfon was surprised by the mansion’s look. It was magnificent and richer than he thought.“Ah, but Your Highness, all of it is a copy made by Silvert’s power. It’s not real.” Gizelis told him truthfully.“Copy made?! These are copy made?!” Zelfon was shocked.“Yes.” Nish chuckled.“What’s the meaning of those colours?” After calming down, Zelfon noticed the half-lamp on each door had different colours.Xcerox explained it to him about it. “... So make sure you don't open the wrong door.” He warned.“I understand.”Xcerox brings Zelfon to the dining hall on the next floor above them. Zelfon chose his room next to the kitchen. Then, Zeliker was found to be exiting from the red-lamp door. Silvert behind him.“Zeliker, Silvert, where have you been? We’re going to move out soon.” Xcerox said to them.The demons in the

    "Zeliker, try this. This one is called Mariana Tresses. It has pandan flavour and is not that sweet." Stiria told him while giving him a piece of small rectangle cake.Zeliker tasted it and he felt it was good. "Let's add this to our kitchen for afternoon dessert."Both of them were inside a pastry store because Stiria wanted to buy some sweets and eat them while they walked around.Stiria nodded and understood. Zeliker means to add this dessert inside their mansion. She was going to pull her wallet out but he brought out a gold coin first and gave it to a young man who was the staff there."S, Sir, this, this is too much." The staff said with a small sweat. The gold coin would amount to half of their selling pastries and cakes."Pack it. I'll take these types and half of that side. If it is not enough, please tell me." Zeliker replied while looking at other pastries.The staff was stunned for a moment before he was ecstatic."This gold coin is enough sir! We will pack it all immedia

    “What is it, Your Highness?” Gizelis asked.Miulwess, Nish, Frix and Ashla beside them also turned their heads at him. They were resting in the palace garden under the gazebo.“It’s almost evening and I didn’t see their shadows. Didn’t they go to the city to find supplies for their journey?” Xcerox was talking about Zeliker and Silvert.“Now that you mention it, Your Highness. It does seem strange. They should have been back by now.” Nish agrees and wonders what has happened.“You’re right, royal brother. Another strange thing is that Stiria and her maid have returned but not with Zeliker and Silvert.” Miulwess remembered he saw Stiria a few hours ago when he was walking toward his room in another palace building.“That is very strange indeed.” Frix feels it too. “Should we check whether they were in the mansion?” He suggested.Xcerox nodded. “Let’s go.”Gizelis opens the door to the mansion using his door keychain. When they were inside, the mansion, as always, was very quiet when t

    Zeliker sat on the chair beside the bed between Flare and Silvert. His hands folded on his chest. His silence makes Flare cough awkwardly.“My apologies. I am a wandering adventurer. We have met in Shasui’s tavern before.” Flare explained politely.Zeliker already recognized them but he still doesn’t understand the friendly reaction coming from Flare. He had injured Flare and his friend. So, why didn’t Flare snap at him or try to kill him?“Where and how do you know me? Don’t let me repeat again or I will kill you.” Zeliker threatened.Flare wasn’t afraid at all because he trusted Zeliker won’t harm him. He went silent for a moment. “Your kidnapping accident has been known worldwide. It was impossible not to recognise you.”‘In meaning, you’re saying you have a good memory about my appearance, huh?’Zeliker felt like slapping the person in front of him. The way Flare talked was like he was questioning his intelligence.He doesn’t know why he felt very annoyed.“Aren’t you going to an

    CHAPTER 39: FEARLESS

    Zeliker hopes nothing happened but…"Silvert!" Zeliker yelled out in horror.Silvert, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened slightly with pain. His lips have trickling blood coming out of them and looked very pale."Ze… Li… Ker…?" Silvert called with a hoarse painful voice.After seeing Zeliker's eyes brighten like usual, he couldn't help but burst out. Tears flood his eyes and drip down his face, making Zeliker bewildered by him."Zeliker…"He was glad. Extremely glad to see the normal Zeliker again. Unable to hold out any longer, he finally fainted."Silvert!"Zeliker called again yet the latter didn't open his eyes.Silvert's body had so many wounds, small and deep cuts everywhere, and also was bleeding nonstop. No part of his body was decent anymore.After absorbing the bitter memories, Zeliker awakened to reality and controlled his body again. He was startled seeing the mess before he realised he was choking someone with a body hanging in the air. After realising the person wa

    CHAPTER 38: TAKING CONTROL

    Silently watching the dark red sky, Nekruis suddenly frowned. He was looking at the city when he felt a sensation of something breaking."Zeliker has eradicated the lock."Zapter behind him immediately looked stunned. He knew what Nekruis meant. Sweat covered his face while he stared at Nekruis.Nekruis let out a sigh and changed his gaze to his left arm. An old long gash was there, hidden behind his long sleeve. He can let it disappear if he wants to but he rather has it to remind him of his hopelessness. There were also other scars all over his body. No one other than Zapter, Alinda and his close friends know this fearless and powerful demon king would allow such things to smear his body. And the scars were a physical and mental punishment that Nekruis wanted to keep remembering forever."Do you want me to stop him, Your Majesty?" Zapter asked."... No. Maybe this is an opportunity for him."Reminiscing on the past, an unpleasant and anguish expression was displayed on Nekruis' f

    CHAPTER 37: TEMPTATION

    "This is Noqhei, Your Highness. From this point forward, he will serve as your mentor and trainer." The four-year-old Zeliker heard Zapter say this.After eating breakfast today, Zeliker met his new teacher in the training room. Due to his poor physical and mental health, his old tutor has given up on him. The soldiers and other demons at the training facility also laugh and cast scornful glances at him. Even his newly awakened powers were inferior to those of his brothers.After receiving such a look, Zeliker was embarrassed and terrified to enter the training building again. He hid himself in his room.Today, as was ordered by his father, he must come to meet his new teacher. Zeliker first intended to stay in his room like he normally did, but the night before, Alinda dropped by, and the two struck up a conversation.Alinda persuades him to meet his new teacher."You have to try, dear. This teacher is good at passing along knowledge, and he won't push you too hard if you can't kee

    CHAPTER 36: MINDLESS KILLING DEMON

    Zeliker dodges another of Itsven's attacks that become faster and stronger. Itsven also was letting out dangerous killing intent. Zeliker didn't show any fear. He knows he might die if he was slower. So, he increased his speed which he thought he had done to his limit. Their fight and movement were blurring until there was no image of their physical body anymore. But, their clashes destroyed the area more and more, creating a big pit and small earthquake.Reuris and his friends swallowed because their eyes can no longer keep up with the two royal demons. Fear and hopelessness were shown in their expression. As for Flare, he narrowed his eyes while glowing in focus towards the battle.He notices the disturbance among the Weety soldiers but he doesn't want to miss this chance to see Zeliker in action. This battle was very important to him and them."I must hurry and capture them all." Silvert had been using his dimension ability more and more.He let out some pants and gazed at Luuya a

    CHAPTER 35: DIMENSIONAL ABILITY USER

    ‘I must not give him a chance to find my weakness… I must move faster than him.’ Zeliker thought quietly as he hit his swords to Itsven's spear and shield.‘Darn it! His shield always gets in my way. I need to solve it first.’Zeliker had found several spots on the Itsven defence but was unable to strike it due to Itsven protecting them with his shield. He knows the advantages and the disadvantages of fighting someone with a shield.Backflipping, he combined his swords and disappeared. Cold wind replaced his place. Itsven narrowed his eyes. "Now, you're going to use such a trick? Heh! You forgot what ability I have didn't you?" His body released a gold aura, covering him from head to his toe. Then with a roar, the aura struck around him, even reaching the soldiers and Flare groups who were far away. The pressure created by the auras caused some soldiers to sweat and make them move many steps back while in Flare's group only Flare managed to stand his ground. The others have also re

    CHAPTER 34: ANOTHER DEMON PRINCE

    Everyone in the tavern was shocked. They haven't received any news related to the war since they thought it happened in the south of Lagendia Kingdom. A moment later, a soldier in armour who seemed ready to battle told Zeliker and the others the same thing and urged them to move out of Shasui to a nearby refugee camp on the east."Let's go! We must help the soldiers in Marlom!" A young man, who looked like an adventurer, carrying a big sword on his back, told his group of six people."Go!" The others replied, and they hurriedly left the tavern.Zeliker turns his eyes to Silvert. "Let’s go too."Silvert nodded and they both left the tavern afterward, after Silvert paid the owner for their food. The residents were hurriedly running outside to the east while people who could battle and soldiers gathered at the gate to cross the border. On the other side, heavy smoke and light from the burning flame float into the sky."The battle seems heavy." Silvert telepathy Zeliker silently."Yes. We

    CHAPTER 33: LEAVING

    Silvert slowly moves his head toward a corner in Zeliker’s living room inside their mansion. Before, he noticed Zeliker’s presence was gone in the palace and sensed Zeliker had entered his room in their second home inside the dimension. He thought Zeliker might have wanted to leave already and he had left Xcerox and others after saying his goodbye.When he entered Zeliker’s room which was unlocked by the latter, the atmosphere inside felt so strange. The aura of gloominess can be seen with his naked eyes. And it was so strong in the corner in the living room where a long sofa was located. His view of Zeliker was blocked because the long sofa front was the opposite of his view.“Zeliker…?” He called with confusion.Did something happen to his prince? He approached the long sofas since he didn’t hear a reply. Once he looked from above the long sofa, he was stunned to see Zeliker's pale appearance. “Zeliker! Are you alright?!” Silvert got worried instantly.He moved to the front and kn

    CHAPTER 32: HIS DESIRE

    Zeliker was dumbfounded. She said he had a heat stroke? No, it wasn’t that at all. Embarrassed by his thoughts before and remembering it wasn’t a dream, his redness intensified all over his face and ears. He looked away in shame.‘Zeliker, you stupid demon!’ He scolded himself internally.‘This is dangerous. I might lose my mind if I’m staying with her any longer.’ He continued.He felt he wouldn't be able to think logically if she was near him. Moreover, he could feel a hot desire below and he didn't want to be stamped as a pervert or be hated by her. Liking someone was truly a disaster for a demon. When it happened, the demon desire was more honest than a human and most would heed to it and sleep with the one they liked immediately. More so for the impatient royal demons who get everything they want and no one can stop them.However, Zeliker still endured the desires currently burning all over his body. He respects his friends and he didn't want to follow his desire like those unc
