The soldiers guarding the door turned around, the two were having a discussion to decide if Raizel was worthy of meeting the queen. Raizel himself was curious about the outcome of the discussion, he stood on tiptoe while persuading the two soldiers, "I brought a valuable object, that can't be doubted. If the queen is happy, you will definitely get a bonus."Ransum poked Raizel's arm, she whispered with a furrowed forehead, "Did they understand what you said? Bonus?""There's no harm in trying," Raizel replied. He glanced at Ransum while watching the two soldiers, when the two soldiers turned around, Raizel smiled confidently."Alright, you two may enter," said one of the soldiers, he opened the way for Raizel and Ransum. The other soldiers led the way to the serpent queen's throne.Raizel and Ransum entered the palace room that housed the throne of the snake queen. The corridor was humid, and although it was well-lit inside, it did nothing to alleviate it. After only a few steps, Rans
"How interesting! There's a place you should visit now, you can prove your strength there. If you don't succeed, don't expect to get out of my palace alive." The Queen responded positively, albeit threateningly. The Queen looked eagerly awaiting Raizel's success."Thank you, Queen. I assure you that you will not regret this decision," Raizel replied with a wide smile. He turned to Ransum, then she quickly released her."Soldier! Show him the way!" commanded the serpent queen, after which she turned to Ransum and asked, "Are you going to join the treasure hunt with that young man?"Ransum was relieved that the wind rope was finally released. She rubbed her neck, then she bowed her head in a firm manner to answer the Queen's question, "Sorry Your Majesty, I don't want to get involved. As I've said before, I'm just a guide."The queen nodded, she didn't mind. The queen got off the throne while giving the deadline she had set, "You only have until tomorrow morning, remember you have to ge
"I'm not sure about that, because these creatures are very picky. But, I will never give up on getting that gold. Please prepare some food for me, so I can use the great energy later," Raizel tried to master his fear. Currently his hunger was quite disturbing, he hoped that after eating the idea would come to him.The Queen hissed angrily, she was still in her snake form bringing her face right up to Raizel's face. Long fangs as tall as Raizel's body emitting hot air, the Queen spoke with emphasis, "I will not leave a single bone in your body!"Raizel froze, he could not answer the Queen's threat in a calm tone like before. His body shook violently, he could not move as his body was wrapped around by the Queen's tail.The queen turned her face away, she was quite annoyed to see the full moon shining brightly indicating that the night was still long. The queen wagged her tail, as she remembered the time she had given Raizel. She agreed to Raizel's request, "Alright! Eat your fill befor
"What is it!" exclaimed one of the palace residents pointing in one direction right behind the queen. Everyone looked in that direction including the queen."Oh my, my children! Hurry and help them!" screamed the queen when she saw the terrible scene. She turned quickly to the residents of the palace to help evacuate Raizel and the snakes.The snakes carried Raizel's body up the cliff in a pitiful state. Many of the snakes had their heads nearly severed, their bodies riddled with holes, and some even had their skin peeled off. Not to mention the interference from the vultures that carried away some of the snakes. Meanwhile, Raizel was out of shape as his entire body was red, covered in blood."Physician! Mobilize all your men to treat them!" The Queen ordered with a shout. She wept as she witnessed the calamity that had befallen almost all the residents of the palace."Yes, Queen!" replied the healer half worried at the state of his queen who had just regained consciousness from faint
"You'll get your answer later," replied Ransum, who had reached the end of the cave and exited the dark path."We've come out, haven't we? Why is the weather not much different from the cave?" asked the chameleon demon who looked around that was still in a dark plus humid state.Ransum just shook her head without answering, she was tired of answering questions that were not important to her. Ransum continued walking until she reached a tall gate carved with snakes."We've arrived," Ransum said with a frown. Since there were no guards in front of the towering gate, she tried to push the huge gate but to no avail.The chameleon demon and Sigo An exchanged glances at Ransum's behavior. The chameleon demon approached Ransum and asked, "What are you doing?""Haishh, can't you see I'm busy opening the gate? Hurry up and help me push it!" protested Ransum irritably. She went back to the door and tried to push it as hard as she could."Won't it cause trouble if we open it by force?" The chame
"Eat up! All the food is real and clean! I appreciate guests complimenting my food, and vice versa!" The serpent queen's voice echoed throughout the room, her smoky form now solid and sitting at the end of the largest chair.Ransum was surprised by the Queen's sudden arrival, she was still biting into the chicken thigh meat and immediately put it down. Then, Ransum stood up, bowing to greet the Queen."Greetings from me, Your Majesty the Queen," said Ransum, whose respect for the Queen seemed heartfelt. But, we don't know what was in Ransum's heart.All the demons there stood up and bowed to greet the queen, including Sigo An. He was 10 seats away from the Queen's seat, but even though the distance was quite far Sigo An could feel the Queen's angry gaze at him."Who are you? How dare you insult my gift!" screeched the snake queen angrily. She even kicked the table after hearing Sigo An's words."Allow me to introduce myself Queen. I am Sigo An, a friend of the young man named Raizel w
"My children will watch over you while you take care of this young man. When you repeat your mistake, there will be no more mercy!" the Queen said in an emphatic tone. She smirked with her hand not stopping to stroke the fox marbles on Raizel's chest."Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen. Thank you very much," said the Physician crying gratefully. He was happy to still be given a chance to live, so he promised himself not to play around with the Queen's favorite things.The healer looked up, watching the Queen who was admiring the golden glow of the fox marbles. He quickly looked away, avoiding the feeling of desire to possess arising. The doctor stood up, walking out leaving the Queen in the infirmary."How interesting! The light produced by that young man is fox marbles. How can fox marbles be on a human body?" murmured the Queen who was even more fascinated, eager to have the fox marbles.Inevitably, the power of the fox marbles repeatedly affected the demons who were tricked by its
Raizel stared at the fox marbles on his left chest, he gaped, unable to believe that this time he could see the golden red rays and could even feel the fox marbles beating in time with his heart. Raizel muttered to himself, "Wow, how amazing! Is this really my power?""No wonder so many demons want to own it," Raizel said with a wide smile. After exerting all the energy to search for the golden mountain, he indirectly increased the fox marble energy. Raizel's body was also adapting to the power, although slowly it was better than having his body destroyed.Sigo An turned his head, he saw Raizel put his hand into the golden red ray and played with it. Raizel could not hold it and could only feel the warm energy released by the fox marbles. Less than a second later, Sigo An looked away. He cursed annoyed at having waited so long, "Asshole! What are you doing?"Raizel who was engrossed in playing with the light from the fox marbles turned to stare at Sigo An. Instantly regaining consciou
