*** Arryn and Alicia had never thought about what the Demon King was like. They entered under strict guard accompanied by one of the palace officers to meet a small child. At first, they thought that the monsters must be joking, but seeing them kneeling with their heads bowed made them anxious. "It can't be that he's the Demon King, right?" asked Alicia. Arryn grabbed the woman's hand and held it tightly. One of the reasons why he did that was to save Alicia from the Demon King's warrior attack. "Don't ever doubt it, Alicia," Arryn replied. A sword was stuck on the floor where Alicia had been standing. Arryn was lucky to have noticed it; otherwise, Alicia's head might have been split in two. There was a single clap of hands from ahead of Arryn. The voice came from the Demon King, who told his men not to treat Arryn and Alicia harshly. "Don't be like that. We must show the demon kingdom hospitality to the two of them," he replied. The Demon King introduced himself as Ronan. His
The two Essua birds arrived after scouting the area. They found an empty, uninhabited house about ten minutes walking away. The house was in a small forest with a river flowing through it, a perfect place for Arryn and Alicia to stay for a while until Arryn was completely fit. "Can you walk to get there, Arryn?" asked Alicia. Arryn nodded his head. He could do it with Alicia's help. They soon stood up with Arryn's left arm around Alicia's shoulder. The two of them walked in the direction that was shown by Ivy and Hunt. Hills were passed, rivers were seen, and the forest Ivy and Hunt were referring to appeared. "That place should be safe to stay for a while until you have recovered," explained Ivy, flying right next to Arryn. "I hope so," said Arryn. It took long enough for the two to walk, which should have taken ten minutes. They had to do more than that, about seventeen minutes. Alicia saw a fairly well-built wooden house with some rotting parts, but it was still worth being
"Sentinel Gods?" asked Arryn. The name was unfamiliar to Arryn as he had never heard it before. Ulra was the first person to mention it. "That is a threat from me, Arryn. Be wise!" Ulra instantly disappeared from Arryn's sight. His body began to fade like dust blown by the wind until it completely faded from Arryn's sight. "I don't think he's joking about his threats," Ivy said, turning Arryn's gaze to her. "What do you mean?" "I mean that he, the man named Ulra, is a real god," Ivy replied. "He knows we've come to Anamalia. He even knows we're here. If what he says is true, then you are dealing with a god," Ivy continued. Arryn remained silent with his head bowed, staring at the wooden chair Ulra had been sitting on. It was hard for Arryn to believe he was a god through the words Ulra had said. Moreover, Arryn was entirely from Earth, and when he became Alan, he didn't believe in the existence of God or any other similar entity. So, Arryn had some doubts about Ulra's true id
*** The next day. Arryn was able to walk and do his usual activity. His face was not so pale anymore, his weakness gone, and he seemed to have been reborn with new life. He was able to help Alicia with other activities, although Alicia asked Arryn to avoid heavy work, such as carrying goods and so on. Arryn's body had indeed recovered, but not his MP. This morning, Arryn checked his Mana Point count, which was calculated above the safe limit. Arryn decided to re-check it by opening his information status menu to check if his mana points had increased again since morning. [Summoning System: Information Status] [Welcome, Arthur] [Name: Arryn Vaughan] [Level: 30] [Title: Young Apprentice] [Class: Apprentice] [Age: 17] [HP: 650/710] [MP: 342/760] Arryn's mana points increase by about twenty points every hour, while four hours have passed since this morning. It could be said that Arryn's mana regen would keep working as long as he didn't use any magic. "300 is not the safe n
"What?! You eat humans?" asked Ivy, the child in front of her nodding. "Their texture is pretty soft, and they have a unique flavor. I remember the first meat my parents served me long ago," replied the child, smiling with a grin as he looked around, looking at Ivy, who was still flying above him. "Not only humans but all living things with meat we eat," he continued. Hearing such a shocking statement made Ivy panic. She flew away from the child to tell Arryn the truth. According to Ivy, once he learned about human existence here, it would be too dangerous for Arryn and Alicia to stay longer. She had to persuade Arryn to return home soon. Arryn watched Ivy's rushed arrival with a smile on his face. There were already three fish he had caught when Ivy went to the river's other side, a sufficient amount to restore his strength. "How's it going? Is he feeling much better?" asked Arryn. "We need to get out of here!" said Ivy. Arryn's eyes widened; Ivy didn't usually look so frighte
Alicia had searched the corners of the empty house for a while, but there wasn't a single piece of paper or evidence explaining the local tribe. Arryn was still sitting quietly on the wooden table, eating his food. "Did you find anything?" Arryn asked. Alicia walked from one of the rooms towards Arryn. She was shaking her head as her eyes continued to look at the stuff around her. "I didn't find anything. It seems that they didn't use this house as a permanent residence but as a temporary residence," Alicia replied, returning to sit directly in front of Arryn. "Or perhaps the evidence was destroyed by the local tribe. There are many possibilities," Arryn explained. "For that matter, I don't think so. I'm just assuming they probably didn't leave any records because the local tribes were harmless to them," Alicia replied. She began slowly eating her fish that hadn't been completely finished, different from Arryn, who had already finished the whole fish. Now, all he had in his hands
The white portal opened behind Arryn's body. Alicia was the first to enter the portal, followed by Ivy, Hunt, and Arryn, who last entered. Arryn's body fell limply on the wooden floor of Quentin's workplace. There is no one in this room except them. From his mouth, Arryn was unable to hold back the feeling of nausea that occurred due to the drained MP. He vomited blood again with both eyes closed, exhausted and dizzy simultaneously. "Don't worry, Arryn! I'll save you," Alicia said, starting to worry with her eyes looking teary in fear of Arryn's critical condition. The portal began to close slowly. Alicia placed Arryn's limp body on the wooden floor as she stood up and shot fireballs into the portal. She did so to prevent the local tribes from coming to Athanor. As the portal circle grew small until it disappeared completely from this place, it was quiet as if nothing had happened. "Ivy, please go downstairs to ask for help," Alicia pleaded. Ivy nodded and went alone down the co
The man swung his dagger straight at Arryn's stomach. Ivy looked at him with wide eyes; she couldn't do anything at such a dangerous moment. Just when the tip of his dagger was about to hit Arryn's stomach, a black light appeared from Arryn that blocked the man's dagger. As a result, the black shield managed to break the man's light dagger, taking him by surprise. "Black magic. Is it possible that your power comes from it?" asked the man, looking at Arryn lying unconscious on the bed. "What do you mean?" asked Ivy. She flew back by forcing her broken wing. She needed to do something to protect Arryn even though the pain was felt in her wing. "Everything is clear now. The reason why he has a power different from most people in this world," replied the man. From his palm, the bright light that appeared earlier began to slowly disappear. His eyes glanced at Ivy, a legendary bird loyal to Arryn. "Tell him. Eran, the Executioner, has come to warn him. If he does anything as he did in
