“We can't send troops in large numbers, the last defense has already lost many fighters.” One of the kings among kings rejected this.
“I agree with king Mitlen.” He agreed with Mitlen's words.
“For me, this is a sacrifice that must be made….”
“Cluster King, what do you mean by sacrificing the Vorz kingdom's Territory?” one of the other kings was also curious.
“I'll say it openly, I don't like the king of the Vorz kingdom after his predecessor.” King Cluster hates king Ligt, because he is still so young and considered naïve.
"Aren't you the same ? King Aries, king Nollant, king Cortase, king Mand.” King Cluster tries to guess the dislike of all the kings in the Union.
"What's the benefit?" King Mand was very interested in Cluster's words.
“The competition for imperial positions, where everyone initially took sides and asked King Ligt to become emperor will be wiped out.” King Cluster showed his hands, and clenched them into fists as he said annihilation.
“If you mind, you can send troops from your kingdom. And I refuse to provide frontline troops to handle this.” King Clusters are very reluctant to provide assistance.
After Cluster expressed his reluctance to send troops to help, all the kings joined in not helping the Vorz region.
In the middle of the discussion, they heard laughter which shocked them.
"I never thought that the enemy we were fighting would actually betray each other." A figure appeared from behind the darkness.
"Devil's King!"
They panicked and were so afraid of the arrival of the demon king.
“No need to worry, I changed my view towards you guys. Let's make a deal…” the demon king offered a deal.
“What reward do we get?” King Aries, who is still afraid, tries to stay calm.
"The reward is that I don't kill you, is that enough?"
Hearing the words of the demon king made them very happy.
“What do you want for in this deal?” King Cluster confirmed that his life was the payment for the agreement.
“I will take the southern region, namely the Vorz kingdom….”
They all no longer saw the demon king, and his resounding voice slowly faded away.
King Cortase asked the soldier to tell King Ligt that help was coming, the soldier went and informed the Vorz kingdom via a red crystal ball.
"King…"
"What's wrong Nor?"
"I come with good news, our troops have won against the enemy." Nor told King Ligt.
"This is very good news, give our warriors the best drink in this kingdom." King Ligt asks Nor, to give the best wine in the palace to his soldiers.
"I want to reject it my king, no one knows when another war will occur." Nor told king Ligt about the most important frontline incident.
“Are you trying to defy your king? Nor.” A nobleman who didn't like the chief soldier, wanted to make Nor feel humiliated.
"No, Mr. Manen, I'm just worried about all the possibilities that might happen." Nor said with sincere words.
King Ligt asking Manen and Nor not to fight in the palace, and in the end all the warriors were still given a certain amount of wine.
Nor, who was so reluctant, really regretted the disciplined attitude of his soldiers who drank without thinking about the consequences.
"Hey...we are guarding the kingdom's territory, don't get drunk..."
"Don't make me laugh, you're already drunk." Said his colleague who was also drunk from the wine he was given.
"What's that?" He used binoculars to see more clearly.
“It seems like reinforcements from the union have arrived.” He saw a group of troops very vaguely .
"It is impossible for unity to come from opposite directions, they should come from the direction of the city of Tars, not from the foot of Mount Verz." Even though he was still drunk, he knew that the city of Tars was in the Southeast East, while Verz Mountain was in the Southwest.
"That mean..."
The sound of the bell was heard many times, people in the palace heard the bell.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
“The sound of bells?” Nor was curious what it meant because it didn't sound like a warning.
"What's the commotion outside?" Noble Nix was curious and disturbed.
“Let me take a look….” Nor rushed out of the palace to find out what happened.
Nor, who was outside, saw all the soldiers running helter-skelter, he asking them all to come back.
"Hey, you wait."
"What happened? Tell me!”
“Master Nor , the demon army is coming in such numbers that it would be impossible for us to fight.”
“And….that army is led directly by the demon king!”
Nor was surprised that he immediately returned and told the king the news.
“Demon king you say!”
“Order the soldiers to—”
"King, all our troops have been made drunk by the drinks you gave. And they all ran so aimlessly.” Nor told him the facts, because the incident happened again.
"What are you doing! If the soldiers are useless, why am I staying here?” Aristocrat Rit ran for his life.
"You are also my king, you have to save yourself ... and go to the neutral city of Norf City, I heard that the hero is there--"
“I will not leave my territory, I should have listened to your concerns rather than my actions.” King Ligt was so sorry, but it was too late, everyone died because he relaxed his defense.
"A touching speech for a royal leader who was so naïve."
Nor and King Ligt were silent and surprised to see the demon king coming so quickly.
"King, you better--"
“No one asked you to talk, human.”
King Ligt saw Nor's head suddenly fall from his neck, and the blood came out profusely but not so much.
"My coming... is just to take away the agreement that the union and I have made." The demon king deliberately said it to see Ligt's reaction.
“A deal with them you said!” King Ligt was very shocked and didn't want to admit that the Union betrayed him, even though he was also fighting to protect it.
True to his thoughts, Ligt was truly shocked.
"It's a shame, even though you fought tooth and nail, they betrayed you."
“Now die—”
"Wait."
A mysterious voice was heard, the demon king immediately knelt down.
"You did such a good job,"
"No my lord, you praise me too much." The demon king was happy to be praised by the voice.
“Leave that human to me.”
"I'm sorry my lord, if I may know. What do you want to get from this human?” The demon king was very curious about his master's intentions.
“You'll find out for yourself.”
"Human...."
This voice refers to King Ligt who is still shaking weakly, because the circle of death almost came to him.
“What your opponents say is the truth, they have betrayed you.”
“I have no empathy for you, but I offer you strength.”
"Strength?" King Light was still shaking and afraid, plus the mysterious voice seemed to have a very strong intimidation.
A black ball the size of a grape seed appeared before his eyes.
“If you eat this, you will have power, and that means you will become my subordinate too.”
“The new demon king…”
“You can use that power for revenge.”
Two years later, news of a new kingdom was heard and it was called the Gerna kingdom. People and merchants who have been there, say that all races there live peacefully without discrimination.
The sound of the guild door bell was heard...
Sara, seeing Una's group return, made herself very happy.
“Long time no see, you two.” Sara approached Cindy and Una.
“Why are you here? We thought you and the heroes were on the front lines.” Cindy was so surprised.
"Where are Erick and Nita?" Una didn't see the two of them in the guild and only saw Sara and Mansa.
"Because we haven't seen each other for almost two years, it's natural that you don't know..." Sara had a sad face.
"Don't tell me they--"
"Erick is accompanying Nita to buy groceries." Elia comes and tells Una and Cindy not to misunderstand.
“Why do you tell, Elia?” Sara was a little annoyed because her prank was ruined by Elia.
The sound of the guild door bell was heard, Rii, Vail, and Cini came to the guild to inform them that their mission had been completed.
Mansa walks up to them…
"I have something to say to you tonight, I hope you don't run away this time. Meet me in Laindorf.” After informing them, Mansa left and chose to leave and go to the inn to rest.
" Mr hero, where are you going?" Sara was so surprised.
"Go back to the inn to rest." Mansa left the guild after informing him.
“Sorry guys, see you later.”
"Wait hero!"
Sara chased Mansa who had already started walking.
“You guys and hero not getting along?” Cindy was very curious, as were Una and Elia.
"I also feel like the hero is looking at you with a disappointed look, have you ever disappointed the hero?" Elia was so worried.
"It's just your feelings, Cindy, Eli." Cini tries to tell them and doesn't want them to get involved.
The doorbell rang again.
“Hero, Sara I'm —”
"Eh... where are those two?" Nita, who had returned from shopping, did not see Sara and Mansa.
"Mr hero and Sara have returned to the inn," Elia told Nita.
"Where's big brother?"
"On the way home, we met the head of the soldiers and your brother Erick knew him. Then he asking to be allowed to come in and be trained again to hone his dexterity." Nita told Elia.
Nita then decided to return to the inn, because she didn't want to leave her sister who was always bothering Mansa.
Cindy, and Una invite Nita, Sara, and Elia to their new house for some girl talk.
When night came, Rii, Cini and Vail met Mansa at the Laindorf river which was at the southern gate of the city of Norf.
"I didn't expect you guys to come..." Mansa saw the three of them come according to his request.
“What do you want to talk about?” Rii wanted to get straight to the heart of the problem.
"Do you know about the emergence of a new kingdom?" Mansa confirmed that this had reached the ears of the three of them.
"We've heard rumors of the Gerna kingdom from traders and people who have been there." Vail said that they had heard about this.
“What's wrong?” Cini was curious about what would be the problem.
“Two years ago, the Vorz kingdom not far from this city was overrun by demon troops.”
“Even though it's been a long time, why is this city still experiencing prosperity? And instead a new kingdom emerged, namely Gerna?" Mansa told them where the problem was.
"We just heard about the attack that occurred in the kingdom near this city." Rii told the truth, no one in Norf city knew either.
“I know you guys won't lie after this…”
“Therefore, I want you to join me in going to the Gerna kingdom. To find out what really happened." Mansa makes an offer to work together.
The three of them, accept the invitation to join Mansa's party. "Then, when are we going?" Cini was curious. "We will set off in the morning," Mansa tells them. “Mansa, can you come with us? We have something to show you." They taking Mansa into the forest, after feeling quite far from the settlement. Vail and Cini set up a barrier. Mansa saw Rii open a very mysterious circle. “How did you guys catch the demon king!” Mansa's surprise, the demon king came out of a black hole that Rii created. “To think we meet again, hero.” The demon king was so arrogant. “Then, have you changed your mind? Regarding my--” The demon king stopped what he was saying and looked up at a direction in the sky. "Why are you silent and looking that way?" Mansa is curious about Neii's actions. "I feel a new awakening from that direction," The demon king said what he felt. "Awakening!?" Mansa is shocked to hear that. "Do you want to ask him something, Mansa?" Cini offers Mansa to get information. “Why
Time and everyone returned to normal, no one knew what happened apart from Ligt and Vail. The next day, after king Ligt felt his doubts had disappeared over the conversation he had with Vail. All residents of Gerna are asked to gather… “Why am I not confident right now?” King Ligt was awkward and didn't know what he would do in front of his people's eyes. “King Ligt, Vail told me. And I will help you, let's make this world peaceful.” Mansa offers his help, because he also wants a peaceful world without inter-racial conflict. Everyone wondered why they had been asked to gather, but the noise they had caused slowly quieted down with the arrival of their king. “I know you're all asking what happened…” “Please all of you listen to these words and statements.” Everyone was so confused by Ligt's words, which they knew. Their masked king will forcefully employ the human race. “Do you still accept me as your king? Are you still willing to be with a king who betrayed you?" King Ligt's
The woman took them to her house, where Rii, Cini, and Vail saw a twelve-year-old child lying seriously ill. "Hold on, my child..." the woman held her child's hand. "How is Rii? Do you know the disease?” Cini wants to know because Rii has finished analyzing the child using him magic. "This child has leprosy or Leprosy..." Rii informed. “Can you cure it, Rii?” Vail was so worried that the child would not be saved. "It's easy for me, it's just...this disease can be contagious." “I will purify her.” Vail understood what Rii meant. "Then I will anticipate in this house." Cini understood what Rii said. The three of them performed purification or cleansing after Vail finished casting recovery magic. The woman saw a small circle on her child's forehead. The child's breathing began to become regular, as did the wounds on his body. Everything recovered so quickly. "How can I repay your kindness?" The woman wanted to return the favor of saving her son. "There's no need to think about
Providing proof of completion for each request made is mandatory to avoid forgery. The guild gives a badge, to request maker give the person who will receive the request as a sign of service, or that the request has been completed. And adventurers are required to show the badge given by the request maker, the badge is only valid for requests outside of exterminating wild animals or monsters. Because they can carry the teeth, eyes, or hearts of the creatures they kill. "I heard that Rii, Vail, and Cini were given a house by the king in that kingdom." Sara brought up the letter the guild received three days ago. "I'm also confused myself, the three of them can only complain every time they finish carrying out requests to exterminate monsters." Una only brought up the complaints she heard from the three of them. The sound of the guild doorbell opening, someone who came from nowhere called Elia's name. "Is there anything I can help?" Elia answered the man's words. "My name is Riki,
Una saw that her hands and feet initially had a few lacerations, which had now disappeared when she drank the potion. "The wounds I've gotten, all healed..." Una was amazed to see that, there was a potion that could heal quickly. "What is it?" Una looked at Vail as if he was talking to someone. “Can you all drink it?” Vail asked everyone to quickly drink the potion. “Vail, is there any problem?” Mansa wants to know the meaning of Vail's words. "The soldiers led by Mr. Delgram are in a desperate situation, and the demon army is heading towards this city," Vail told Mansa. Hearing that, Mansa immediately rushed to where Delgram was. Erick, Nita, and Sara, who were Mansa's group, immediately drank it and ran after Mansa. All the adventurers drank it, and immediately ran to the front lines… "Look! Look how cute they all are…” The demon king mocked the adventurers who ran to join the hero. “They are very annoying.” “Everyone run!” Elia shouted, saw the demon king throw a fireball
Knock. Knock. Knock. “It seems like the two of them have arrived…” “Come in.” After getting permission from the king, Cini and Rii came in and joined the talks, and told Mansa the steps he had taken. “I didn't think it would be that difficult fighting two demon kings.” King Ligt was so impressed with Rii and Cini. “Before leaving, the hero left his words of gratitude. Because you have given the potion.” Rii told Mansa's words to King Ligt. "Then king, what about the revenge plan?" Vail said so openly without the slightest hesitation, King Ligt was surprised that Vail spoke so casually. "For now, I will focus on the problems within my kingdom first, after all the problems have been resolved. Only the day will come for my revenge for their betrayal." After King Ligt declared the day of retribution for his betrayal, the window glass was cracked. "If you need help, we will help." Rii offered King Ligt his help, if the king wanted it. “I will save your help for the time.” King Ligt
The sound of the door was heard. "I'm home, mother..." “Uh, Vail? Where is Zein?" Julian didn't see Zein come back with Vail. "Isn't Zein with the two of them?" Vail told his adoptive mother to remind her that Zein was with Rii and Cini. “How you Vail, didn't say you would be at the royal palace after finishing things.” Cini scolds Vail for acting relaxed. "I'll be back, Mother," Vail, who realized this, immediately rushed to the palace to pick up Zein. "Zein is a stranger to the palace, how can he be accepted inside?" Vail said this in his heart. “Vail!” Hearing Rii's voice, he immediately stopped and looked behind. Rii and Cini succeeded in following their adoptive mother's request to help Vail look for Zein. They arrived in front of the palace, but they saw that the palace security was very tight. "Mr. Rabe..." the soldier came, and whispered something to Rabe who held the position of head soldier in place of Nor. "Go back to your place," Rabe ordered the soldier to retur
When they arrived home, Cini immediately apologized to Clara. Clara forgave Cini's actions because Vail told her before got home. If Cini or Rii is angry, it is normal, especially if it concerns their family. The next day, Cini, Rii, and Vail returned to the castle... "This time, what issue do you want to talk about?" King Ligt was so curious. “Everything needed is gathered, we can start…Rii, Vail.” Cini asks Rii and Vail to open the dimensional circle. Two black circles appeared, and from these circles emerged the demon king of each circle. “Do they have anything to do with this conversation?” King Ligt was very curious. “So, you is the one who became the new demon king.” The demon king Neii approaches King Ligt. "You haven't been seen for several years, it turns out you've been arrested...Neii." Said the woman who helped the demon king Dorf. “Especially Lina, I didn't expect you to be captured alive by them.” Neii was surprised, because among the demon kings. Lina has potenti
