On the next day. The wedding between King Ligt and Amira was held, and they both made promises to each other as proof of their loyalty.
"In this way I declare you--"
"Stop!"
Everyone in the castle heard the sound of soldiers screaming and the sound of attacks.
Mansa and Zein were helped by Erick to the source of the commotion.
"Stop there..." Mansa asked the figure not to do any further.
“This is the first time we meet, heroes.” This figure refers to Mansa and also Zein.
“Let's see how much power you two will have to stop me.”
The palace walls shook, and those in the throne room heard the screams of Zein, Mansa, and Erick who were defeated.
"Wait..." Mansa saw the figure continue its path towards the throne room.
The door to the throne room was successfully opened. They all saw the woman wearing a black mask.
"Who are you?" King Ligt had a bad feeling about this.
“Have you forgotten your master, yourself? Light.”
"Don't tell me, you..." Lina was surprised that this was the first time she saw the ancestor appear.
"Even though the world is in trouble, you all are having fun as if you didn't see the war." The ancestors were impressed with the Gerna kingdom.
"I came to congratulate you, and also Lina... as a gift I will kill you both."
“We won't let you disturb this good day, ancestor.” Vail stood in front of King Ligt and Amira.
“We won't let you.” Rii and Cini also stood up.
The atmosphere became tense, and the people there did not dare to move.
"Go away, ancestors," Amira asked the ancestors to leave the wedding.
“Haha…a stupid woman like —”
“…..” Lina and the others were surprised to see the ancestor stop the words and see the ancestor turn head outside the palace window.
“You guys are safe this time.” The Ancestors didn't want to attack. She opened the black circle and wanted to enter it.
"Wait! Do you want to run?” Rii was annoyed, they all felt sorry for her.
"Run? Did I hear correctly?” Ancestor stopped in her tracks. And the circle closes.
"My arrival wanted to put one of you three on my side..."
“But that mysterious person, I don't know where came from gave me a warning. I'm not stupid like you, but because I failed. As a gift."
“I announce, a declaration of war that will determine the fate of humanity. I will give you forty years from now to gather great power.”
“The war can be stopped if you all. Killed three hidden heroes.”
“I look forward to the good news…”
The ancestor disappeared leaving the sound of laughter slowly fading away.
Everyone who heard this was certainly surprised, this was the first time they had heard of a hero in hiding. And blame those hiding heroes.
One month later, the Union became chaotic due to a declaration from the ancestors. A mysterious voice was heard in the room they were in and told them who the three heroes were.
All the kings in the union began to open contests to kill people named Vail, Rii, and Cini in exchange for territory and titles.
"Even though this kingdom is very safe for you." Mansa felt bad.
“We can't be any more trouble than this, it's been two months since the ancestors declared war. One month later, there was no end to the assassins and spies.” Rii didn't want to involve of them any further.
“This is a problem for the three of us, we will take responsibility. Apart from that, Mansa ... we hope for your help in the future." Vail reminds Mansa of his goal of helping King Ligt.
"Zein keep practicing, we also want to rely on you," Cini asks Zein to help him.
“Alright, it's time to take them out,” Rii tells Cini and Vail.
The three of them flew towards the east and saw many people chasing them from a distance.
The next day, the village they had previously helped was visited by nobles.
“We already told you—”
The noble's subordinate hit Nhiel in the face.
“You did tell, but…all of these villagers' ties to the traitor cannot be denied.”
"You will all be killed on the charge of hiding important news about the hero who—"
"Stop!"
“King…demon king Lina?!” The nobleman was surprised to see Lina in the sky.
“If you do anything more than this, I won't hesitate to kill you all.” Lina threatened them.
"Damn...even though I could have gotten an award." The nobleman was annoyed, he was forced to leave the village.
"Let's go!"
All the noble's subordinates followed their master and left the village.
“Thank you, demon king Lina.” Nhiel was so happy with his help.
“No need for thanks, I just did what the hero asked,” Lina told him.
Two months later. Rii, Cini, and Vail are defeating adventurers who are starting to be tempted by the petition made by the United kings.
“Aah!” One of the adventurers had his arm broken by Cini.
"We only beat them, Cini, not to kill them." Rii rebuked what Cini did.
"Rii, finish your business first then you can talk." Cini saw Rii who was being chased by several people.
“Hey, catch them quickly!” One of the people who managed to tie up Vail asked his friend to immediately arrest the others.
“Instead of relying, wouldn't it be better to do it yourself?” The bound Vail made a suggestion.
"You'd better be quiet before I slash your neck—"
“If you do that, the reward will go down.” Vail reminded the person.
“That sword has magic attributes,” Cini said inwardly and was very interested in the sword.
“Vail, can you get me that sword?” Cini asked.
"You, don't you see that I'm tied up?" Vail informed him of his condition.
"Because you don't want to fight," Rii said so breathlessly.
“Haaa…it's you guys. Instead, you take care of things here.” Vail asks Cini to take out some of the people surrounding him.
“Where do the people who are caught disappear to?” The foreign man was shocked, the Vail he had tied up disappeared.
"Damn, he played with me." His eyes darted here and there in search of Vail.
"Go--"
"Go to sleep." Vail hit his back body a little hard and it made the person who tied him faint.
“This sword does have magic, but what use is this sword?” Vail snatched the sword and looked at it in detail.
Vail informed that the sword he requested had been obtained, and asked Cini and Rii to finish his business.
After defeating all the adventurers they continued their aimless journey.
“This sword has an ice attribute, it seems fitting if it has a fire attribute sword .” Cini was so happy and always looked at the sword.
“You are like my collector,” Vail complained about Cini's words.
"Vail, Cini, let's rest here," Rii informed.
“Okay, I'll look for wood. Here you—"
"I'll wait here for you guys, give me time to fantasize with this sword." Cini interrupted Vail's words.
“Alright, do whatever you want.” Vail walked away from Cini as did Rii who followed Vail.
On the other hand, a group of Elf followed them. Starting to get an opening to catch one of them.
“Chief…this is our chance.” Said one of the people in the group.
“Do it quickly before that person's friends come back.” Their group leader asked.
"Nema, can you make him not move?" The chairman asked one of her group to knock out Cini.
“I will do it…” Nema cast a spell and asked the spirit to make Cini unable to move.
"I can't wait to have— " Cini couldn't move, he fell from the rock was sitting on.
"It seems like that person isn't moving anymore," Rii informed.
“Alright, it's time to catch that guy. And save the village.” The Elf group leader informed.
"What's wrong with the village?" Vail asked.
"Don't forget our goal of hunting them, come on..."
“Aaaa!” She remembered being shocked when saw Vail beside.
“What's wrong chief? Don't shout like that." Vail was astonished by the screaming Elf woman.
"Since when did you guys exist— " The words stopped because her entire group had been defeated.
"If you ask since when we have been here since you told Nema to," Vail informed.
“Ah… finally moving again.” The spirit that locked Cini from moving had disappeared, because Nema had been asked to cancel her magic by Rii.
"You two are so cruel." Cini approached Rii and Vail.
“Guys, are you okay?” She was very caring and approached all colleagues who had been defeated.
“We're fine, chief.” Said one of the Elf men there.
"Everyone, let's go back to the village." She asked colleagues to come back, because they had failed.
"Are you ready to leave without fighting?" Cini was very surprised by the group of elves who wanted to go home because they failed to carry out their mission.
“We, will not try a second time. If our mature experiment has failed, the next one may still fail.” She said without looking back and continued the road towards the village.
“Wait, tell us what happened to your village,” Vail asked one of them to tell.
Nema told them about the problems their village was facing, namely the food crisis and almost nothing they could do.
“Is it okay to let them go, Sela?”
“Xein, we already lost before we started. So there is no goal anymore, now we only focus on village problems," Sela said and asked Xein to focus on their village problems.
They arrived at the village, and the door to their village began to open. They were surprised by the sound of Cini winning the bet.
"Where's the betting money?" Cini cries to Vail and Rii.
"Since when are you here?" Sela was so surprised.
“Why is the cheif always angry? We've been on board since one of you finished explaining the situation.” Cini told and complained to Sela who was angry.
"Just ask them,"
“Sister, they have been with us since this afternoon. We thought sister already knew about it and let them come along.” Nema told.
"So, can we come in?" Rii wanted to ask permission from them.
"Of course, you can't." Sela answered so annoyed.
“Well, we have been rejected by the villagers we wanted to help. Come on everyone, let's go.” Cini said in a joking voice.
"Sister..." Nema tried to convince her sister.
“You guys are annoying me, wait here. I will talk to the elders.” Sela was very annoyed with Cini's attitude and way of speaking.
Sela and her group went inside left Rii, Cini, and Vail outside the door until the Elf elders let them in. "She hasn't come out, even though it's almost evening," Cini complained. Because I've been waiting for more than six hours. “Maybe we were tricked, because you annoyed her,” Rii informed. Not long after, the door that Sela and her group had passed, through opened again and asked the three of them to enter with the permission of the elders. "I'm back…" "Welcome— " Nema was surprised to see her sister bringing Rii, Cini, and Vail to her house. “Why did you bring them here?” "If it wasn't for Elder's request, I wouldn't have brought them." Sela sat in a chair and said. "How about this? I only prepared food for two people. Plus, our food supplies are also running low." Nema was so confused. “No need to worry, Nema. We can give them the grass behind the house.” Sela told. "You think we are livestock!" Cini was so annoyed by Sela's sarcasm. “Can we borrow the kitchen?” Vail a
Another colleague shouted. He said that he saw several very large eyes behind the bushes and those eyes were focused on him. "Are you guys sure you don't want to run?" Rii mocked the S-rank adventurers. “Even if your strength is almost close to heroes, if you are in the territory of the giant wolf race. Your powers do not affect protecting yourself.” Cini told. “Your safety depends on how fast you run…” Vail told them how to survive. "It turns out my hunch was right." One of Lacot's colleagues ran without looking back. One of the women in the group was shaking. She also saw eyes glancing at her. “Aaaa!” "Help! Help!" Lacot and his colleagues who had not yet run, saw one of their female colleagues being dragged into the bushes and from there they saw blood and the sound of the woman's screams still there. “Hey! —” Lucot looked at his comrades running one by one. “Return me to where I was!” Lucot threatened Rii, Cini, and Vail by brandishing his sword. “Impossible, the reason
Rii, who was eating, was asked by Vail to switch places. Rii didn't mind, even though he asked what meant. “I don't know what happened and why Nema closed her eyes, but Vail asked me to ask Nema to open her eyes,” Rii said inside his mind, when he had switched places with Vail. "You can open your eyes now, Nema." Rii, who didn't know, just followed what Vail said. Nema opened her eyes, she was amazed that Vail could turn into Rii to help her. “Love huh? Haven't heard that in a long time.” Vail, who was at home, immediately lay down on the bed. "To think he approached you just to get information about your friend." Etina just appeared and sat at the window of the house. “I didn't expect that earth elf had a hobby of eavesdropping,” Vail mocked Etina. “How rude of you to say that hero of Vail.” Etina walked over to Vail. And looked at him so pityingly. “Don't look at me like a master looks at pet.” Vail felt uncomfortable with the way Etina glanced at him. "Do you know? Looks li
Vail's statement shocked all the Elves, and they were grateful that Sela's group failed to kill Vail and his two friends. After learning that, the Elf Elder was shocked again. According to Cini, Rii is also a former prince from that kingdom too. Etina asked the three of them to meet a dragon on a mountain. “…..” Alpha and the pack walk by and see Rii, Cini, and Vail. “Long time no see again, Alpha.” Cini greeted them. “Hmm…? You don't usually get wounds like this." Rii was so surprised to see Alpha's heartbreaking condition. “No need for pleasantries, why you come?” Alpha didn't want to talk to humans for long. “We want to ally with the giant wolf race, to fight against the ancestors,” Vail informed. “The ancestor only fought against the human race, nothing to do with us giant wolf race,” Alpha said. doesn't care about the outside world. "Okay, if you're not interested, we want to go to the dragon on the mountain to ally—" “Wait… we wolf race accept it.” Alpha interrupted Ci
Amira asked her husband, to tell where her child was. She also saw her husband's expression, which was reluctant to tell. "King Ligt, I want to know where my son." Amira took off the crown on her head. “….” King Ligt was surprised to see his wife taking off the crown on her head. And sat on the floor asking to be told. “I'll tell you, but put the crown back on—” “Not until the king tells him.” Amira interrupted her husband's words. “They, especially Vail, don't want you to know this, but to see your actions. I had no choice.” King Ligt felt so guilty because his wife had humbled herself so much. “They are in the territory of the giant wolf race, precisely in the forest of death. Or what we call the Ruga valley, there are also dragons there—" “Amira?!” Amira fainted when heard her husband's words about their whereabouts, especially their children. One day later, Rema returned from academics because he received news that Queen Amira had fallen ill. "Amira..." King Ligt held his
Vail didn't mind, he also asked Rii and Cini to save the man Ryzen said because he had protected Rema as best he could. “Brother…” In a vague vision, Rema saw Vail approaching her. “…..” Rema gathered strength in her hands to grab Vail. “Everything is fine, there is no need to worry. Now go to sleep, we'll take care of the rest." Vail took Rema's hand. “…..” Before closing her eyes, Rema saw a very large dragon and several giant creatures walking above the two of them. "How despicable the human race is, they always hurt each other rather than unite to fight the ancestors." Alpha is so disappointed with humans who dominate the outside world. "Let us clean up the rest." “…..” Vail saw two giant wolves eating the bodies of dead bandits. “I want none of them alive,” Vail informed. “….” Alpha saw the hatred within Vail. He immediately walked towards the edge of the forest where the bandits were. Rema opened her eyes again and found herself being carried by Vail's arms around her s
Rii and Cini teleported and were inside the cake shop. They were grateful that everyone's eyes were still diverted to the quarrel. "What happened?" Cini and Rii approached Rema. "When my older brother and I were ordering a cake, suddenly the man came and grabbed old brother with force and hit his until him fell to the ground," Rema tells Cini and Rii. “The woman who was crying was trying to intervene, I also wanted to intervene. But old brother asked the two of us not to get involved." “The woman who crying is our little sister, and also your brother Vail's sister,” Rii informed. “The man who hit Vail was her husband, and the hero's former partner,” Cini said. Rema was surprised, it was a statement he had just heard. When Erick wanted to hit Vail again, Mansa managed to block his hand. “Erick, this is too much.” Mansa tries to get his friend to think again. “Sir hero, this person does not need to be shown mercy. Not only did he leave Cindy and Una, but now he wants to leave Cl
Runia said, that the masked person only helped Lina in return for not being present at Lina's wedding to Leon. “He didn't tell me why either, but he knows Lina and all of us so well,” Runia informed. "The mask you wear is similar to the mask you wear, Prince Vail." Runia again told him the mask the person was wearing. “What Vail is that you from the future?” Cini just concluded all the possibilities. "I agree with Miss Runia..." Queen Amira agreed that the masked person knew them. "Did that person tell you anything?" Vail was so curious. “Mother would bring up the past, just when Mother returned home after seeing Mr. Nhiel and made fun of him. The person wearing the same mask as you knocked on the door.” "At first I thought it was you, but I immediately knew it wasn't you because his voice and way of speaking were so formal." "I've met him twice," Everyone was surprised to hear this, the same thing happened to Runia, who had met this figure twice. "You met twice?" King Ligt w
