(Flashback on)

"Take the cube away from here before Draco snatches it from our hands. If Draco manages to retrieve this cube, our nation will be in grave danger. Don't let a creature from another dimension find it because it would be disastrous if it fell on the wrong person like Draco." Morwen, King of Pyloruf, hands the heirloom to a man and woman wearing masks.

"Alright, Your Majesty." Robert, the spider demon, received the Cubes. There are eight spider legs on the man's back to help him make webs and walk on walls. 

"Get as far away as possible before Draco finds you! Hide in the world… argh!" Morwen immediately fell to the ground clutching his aching chest. The bearded man coughed up blood.

"Your Majesty!" Dawney reflexively caught Morwen's body as he fell. "Are you okay?"

"Don't mind me! Hurry up and go! We only have a little time left! Draco will be here soon! If I can't stop Draco, you guys will have to make it to that dimension! Understand?!"

"But we can't just leave you alone to fight Draco! We are your soldiers!"

"I've ordered, don't mind me! Do you want to oppose me?"

Dawney sobbed. "We don't want to lose a king as good as you! Because only Lord Morwen cares about lowly people like me and my little sister … Reyna!"

"If you can't carry out this mission for me, do it for your little sister! Because if you two manage to hide the cube, someday, you will be able to defeat Draco and save the country of Pyloruf with the young man, as my father had prophesied! Your little sister and I will be released from suffering."

Dawney nodded while crying bitterly. "Alright, Your Majesty. I will obey all your orders," she said in a trembling voice holding back tears.

"I'm really counting on you guys! The fate of the Pyloruf kingdom is now in your hands, Knights!" Morwen smiled proudly at his two men. However, the look in his eyes was sad.

Robert and Dawney, the white bird demon, immediately entered the forbidden forest towards the gate of the time and space dimensions.

 "Where's the cube?!"

Dawney and Robert's steps suddenly stopped when they heard a familiar voice. They immediately looked back and saw Draco arguing with Morwen.

"Until whenever, you will never be able to find the cubes or become King over the world! I've hidden God's Cube in a place that no one, including you, can get to!"

"Bastard!" Draco immediately stabbed Morwen's stomach with a sword to penetrate the back. Morwen immediately fell to the ground.

"Noooo! Your Majesty!" Dawney screamed hysterically.

"Stop, Dawney!" Robert reflexively grabbed Dawney's hand when the woman was determined to help Morwen. "Don't act rashly!"

"Let me go! We must save the King!"

"Don't make all your sacrifices go in vain because of your carelessness!"

"But-"

"Enough! You must behave like a knight, Dawney!" Robert snapped angrily.

"Apparently, you guys are hiding there! Give it back to me! Hurry up!"

Robert was surprised when Draco ran toward them. "Shit! We're caught! Let's run away!" he pulled Dawney's hand, who was still frozen in disbelief over the death of Morwen by Draco's act.

"Don't run away! Get back!" Draco chased the two Morwen warriors and spurred his black horse as fast as lightning.

The spider demon hurriedly turned the Cube to the west and east to open a portal to another world.

Then a portal opens. Robert and Dawney immediately entered the blue portal.

"Do not run away!" Draco hurriedly pulled his bowstring tightly and released two arrows at Robert and Dawney, who managed to escape to a different dimension. When the portal was not completely closed, the arrows managed to penetrate and stab the backs of the two Marlin men until they penetrated the front of the chest.

"Argh!" Robert and Dawney fell to the ground.

Their moaning voices suddenly disappeared as the portal disappeared.

"Shit! They managed to escape with the cube!" Draco was annoyed when the portal suddenly disappeared along with his two arrows.

(Flashback off)

"So Dawney and Robert are the cube's caretakers?"

Reyna nodded sadly. "Yes."

"Why… Why do you look sad?" Riko asked worriedly.

"Dawney is my older sister who died from Draco's actions."

"I-I'm sorry!" Riko said apologetically. "I didn't mean to make you sad at all." The young man felt guilty for being so presumptuous to bring up Reyna's dark past, which hurt his heart.

"No problem." Reyna smiled sweetly. But the look in her eyes couldn't hide the fact that the beautiful woman was not well.

"Now tell me… where is the cube now?" Reyna whispered while monitoring the situation.

Riko was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know."

"Are you kidding me?! How come you don't know where the cube is now?!"

"I also do not know. I know about the Cube, but I don't know where I saw it the last time. My memory suddenly disappeared."

"Shit!"

"Sorry, I … argh!" Riko groaned in pain while clutching his throbbing head.

"What happened?! Are you okay?!" Reyna asked, panicky.

Riko suddenly remembered all the events that had happened to him when he found the Cube in the forest and then got lost in the world of mythological creatures.

"Oh my! I remember everything now, including the cube!"

"Really?!" Reyna smiled happily. "Now, where is the cube?"

"The Cube is in my world," Riko whispered.

"I'm grateful. I beg you to take care of the cube and put it in a safe place. Come what may," Reyna insisted. "Don't tell my friends or the creature here about the cube's whereabouts."

"Why?"

"Because they are Draco's minions."

Riko was surprised. "That means you're also a member of Draco's gang?" He asked to be sure.

Reyna was silent.

Riko immediately moved away from Reyna and looked at him suspiciously. "Please, answer me! You must want to kill me, right?!" He is scared.

"No! It's not true!"

"So, why do you say your friends are Draco minions?!"

"I never considered myself and my comrades to be Draco's accomplices. Because all my friends are only affected by Draco's spells. Because of that, I was forced to pretend to join them to become Draco's minions to free my comrades from the snake demon's cunning. Because they are the only family I have left."

"What has Draco done to you, your family, and your friends?"

    "Actually, where did Professor William go? Why did he suddenly disappear without a trace? Was he kidnapped?" Riko muttered all the way home. This incident was a real blow to the young man. Because he just wanted to ask about the incident when he was lost for a week in the forest."Could it be ..." Riko's eyes widened perfectly. "Professor William was killed by a mythological creature?""But is that even possible?" Riko hesitated a little. "Because Professor William doesn't trust that mythological creature at all. Besides, what's the reason for that creature bothering him?"Riko growled angrily. "Shit! I have to go find Professor William! I have to make sure of that myself. I won't let anyone else get hurt by that creature." Riko clenched her fists tightly, and his anger was burning. ***"Why did you come here?"

    "S-stop ...." Morwen's voice sounded soft. He was coughing up blood, and even she was powerless to break up the mother-daughter fight.King Draco grinned with satisfaction. "Look at how pathetic you are now! Do you deserve to be king of Pyloruf? You're weak and stupid!"King Morwen clenched his fists tightly in anger. Now he hates his brother with a passion. His actions were unforgivable. King Draco had not only destroyed his life and the kingdom of Pyloruf, but also his best friend.King Draco walked up to Morwen and stomped her head into the ground."Argh!" King Morwen groaned in pain."Now you are powerless. The kingdom of Pyloruf, even the whole world is in my hands." King Draco laughed wickedly."I-that won't happen. Until whenever, you won't be able to become king!" King Morwen cursed fearlessly despite the threat to his life."How dare you insult me!" King Draco trampled his brother's head until it was fully immersed. As a result, King Morwen could not breathe.***"Damn it! Wh

    "Draco?" Elizabeth was shocked when she saw King Draco with Edward and King Morwen."What is Edward doing?" Elizabeth's eyes narrowed, confirming what Edward was doing now."Is he going to hurt Morwen?" she asked again.When Elizabeth saw Edward make a fireball from his hand, Elizabeth thought that it was aimed at King Morwen. Not to mention their position further supported Elizabeth's perception of Edward groaning at King Morwen."Why would Edward do that?"Elizabeth immediately ran fast. The fireball from Edward's hand had already been successfully launched. Armed with her ability, Elizabeth moved her hand and destroyed the fireball from Edward so that King Morwen would remain safe.Elizabeth was now standing right in front of King Morwen. She chose to protect King Morwen, because after looking around it seemed that Edward had been controlled by King Draco.'What did you do to my son, Draco? Why did you have the heart to brainwash him into becoming evil like you?' Elizabeth asked in

    Elizabeth couldn't stop thinking about King Morwen, Edward and Riko. She was afraid that the three of them had something wrong with them. Moreover, Elizabeth had heard that there was a black portal in the forest. She actually knew, but Elizabeth was reluctant to tell King Morwen when he asked her."Actually, where are they going?" asked Elizabeth to no one in particular.Because of her anxiety, Elizabeth was looking for the three men. Moreover, Elizabeth was very worried about Edward. The fear in her was intensified by King Draco's arrival. Really, for the sake of everything Elizabeth was afraid that Edward would meet his biological father. What Elizabeth feared even more, was that King Draco would directly harm Edward. Elizabeth called out their names repeatedly but there was still no response."Edward! Morwen! Riko!" Elizabeth absented them one by one, but to no avail.Elizabeth's health had not yet recovered, making her feel tired. Elizabeth's breathing was a little labored, her ch

    A feeling of doubt and indecision came over Edward's heart. His eyes stared deeply at the man lying helplessly below. Meanwhile, King Draco was incessantly provoking Edward to eliminate King Morwen without getting his own hands dirty. He wanted to make Edward the executioner for King Morwen's death."What are you waiting for, kill him immediately! Don't you hate Morwen too much?" Draco urged impatiently. There was a clear flash of resentment and anger in Edward's black bead. That glint of hatred he couldn't cover up in the slightest. On the other hand, he also did not like Draco who was his father, even so he was also unlikely to kill his own father.King Morwen's breathing was labored against the excruciating tightness. He knew these two villains had equally bad personalities. Fighting one alone would have left him dying, let alone Edward who was no different from Draco in terms of cruelty. King Morwen clutched his painful chest, he had no hope of living or saving himself in this we

    "Don't linger, you'll regret wasting this opportunity." King Draco had not stopped teasing Edward who was as silent as a statue.King Draco's patience, which was as thin as a piece of tissue, had to be tested by Edward's silence. He became afraid that Edward would change his mind."Hurry up, and do it!" King Morwen snapped, making Edward, who was silent, startled. Fortunately, Edward could control his shock.Both of Edward's eyes were fixed on King Draco. "I will consider it first."There was a sly smile on King Draco's face after hearing Edward's answer. He chuckled at King Morwen who did not move."Fuck you, Morwen!" Happiness swept over King Draco as he thought that victory was right in front of his eyes.Edward's answer made King Morwen a little scared. His heart couldn't stop beating because Edward wanted to consider his brother's request. King Morwen felt that his world would end here.No one will be able to help me. I will definitely die at the hands of these two. King Morwen t

    Edward, who had originally followed King Morwen's departure secretly, accidentally saw King Morwen meeting a man whose name he did not know at all. But earlier Edward accidentally heard that King Morwen called him Draco. Hearing that name mentioned, of course Edward immediately knew that the man was his biological father. He had been watching the battle between King Morwen and King Draco.Just now, Edward again accidentally stepped on a twig, causing a sound. Thus diverting the attention from the two men who were fighting. Edward couldn't just walk away. The two of them had already seen it so Edward could not just leave. Moreover, Edward was also curious about his biological father who was predicted to be the most evil man in the entire land of Pyloruf.Edward's feet stepped closer. King Morwen just watched what the seemingly curious Edward was doing. He also did not know that Edward was watching their fight."Who are you?" King Draco asked as he stared at Edward intently.Edward's li

    Inside the black portal, Riko tried more and more to get out, but the result was the same. She didn't get anything, she felt more and more confined and even more claustrophobic.Only her screams were so audible, without being able to be heard by others. He was very worried at this time, if he lingered in this place for too long, it was certain that he would just disappear. The next thing she feared was her uncle.Riko was afraid that King Morwen would be attacked by the enemy if she was not there. They might even eliminate the king so easily."Who has done this, why doesn't he show his form. Who did he really want to kill?" Riko muttered.Riko again moved her body to get out of that place, but she could not do it well. Her powerful screams turned out to be in vain, because no one would be able to help her here except the person who made this trap himself."I'm going to eliminate whoever dared to do all this, even trapping me like this," Riko's anger was already showing now.Riko was s

    King Morwen looked sharply at Draco, who was currently laughing at himself as he lay weakly on the ground. All the soldiers had been eliminated with one attack.What happened this time was completely unexpected, he did not expect Draco to reappear when Riko was not with him. It was as if all this had been his plan. More precisely he had planned long ago for this."Draco, enough of this, don't you think that you are the one who doesn't realize what you've done, you've been punishing the people around you all this time. Even though they were meant to bring you to your senses."King Draco shook his head and he looked at King Morwen so sarcastically. "You never intended to make me realize, you only thought of benefits for yourself. Now say what you have to say, because I will hear it before I kill you."It was clear that Draco wasn't messing around with that. It was as if the biggest goal in his life right now was to eliminate the Morwen king without any mercy."You know, none of this is

    "Why are you in the human world again? What are you doing here? How do you know this place?" Shouted King Morwen who immediately stood up from his sitting position.Draco smiled sarcastically at that. "I know where you've been, Morwen. You've kept me cooped up all this time," King Draco retorted sharply."You deserve that, for you are so heartless. You even have the heart to hurt your own child, do you still deserve to stay in the world?"Draco's sharp gaze seemed to want to kill his brother. "Watch what you say, he's too stupid just like what you did. You know I wouldn't defend someone even if it was my own flesh and blood.""You're really sneaky, Draco," snapped the king in annoyance.King Morwen was certain that Draco's return to the human world would ensure that his brother would be more powerful than anything else. He was anxious about this, but he could not show it. After all, he was the one who would make Draco give up on his own."What are you doing here?" Asked the king agai
