“You… Are made by him, don’t you?” (Druid Oz)

“And your purpose on going here is the same as mine… It’s to uncover the seal of the demon emperor, isn’t that right?” Druid Oz asked Quarta who is finally covered in wounds.

“I’m afraid I have no obligations to tell you, Magician. I think my visit is more than enough to report. My master will hear and will definitely make you regret interfering with our plans all this time, Magician,” Quarta’s image started to distort.

But of course, the Galhala King, Druid Oz, and the others won’t let him flee that easily.

Once again, they attacked Quarta simultaneously, but.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

A red metal barrier suddenly appeared and covered Quarta’s body just like armor. The barrier is strong, but it still got cracked after getting attacked simultaneously by the Galhala King, Allomere, Galhala Queen, Claria, and Druid Oz’s steel vines.

“Fufufufu! Do you think I’ll let you kill me that easily?” said Quarta as his image starts to fade away.

As if he’s getting absorbed by a black hole, Quarta’s body slowly transformed into a dark matter.

“I hope we’ll meet again someday, Magician. But next time, you’ll be killed by us,” (Quarta)

“Then tell your master this. I. Will definitely stop all of you, even if it costs my life,” (Druid Oz)

“Fufufufu! Then let’s meet again, Magician… At the fateful battle with the world at stake…” said Quarta as he finally disappeared into the thin air.

“J-Just what is that demonic being…?” (Claria)

“He said that he is a demon king,” (Captain of the Royal Guards, Reno)

“He’s not one of them,” Druid Oz answered with a small voice.

“Eh?” (Captain of the Royal Guards, Reno)

“Ren?” (Claria)

Whoosh!

Dozens of shadows suddenly entered the royal throne room from the broken windows.

“W-What is it this time?” the Captain of the Galhala Kingdom’s royal guards once again transformed into his owl form.

“Fill me in,” (Druid Oz)

“Hm?” (Galhala King)

“There is dense demonic mana covering almost the whole continent, and countless sightings of demons all across the continent, your imperial majesty. The threat of the demons that appeared in this continent is far more threatful than the one we’ve faced before,” said one of the shadows.

(Your imperial majesty?) (The Galhala King, The Galhala Queen, Claria, Charnia, Reno, Allomere)

“The reason is?” (Druid Oz)

“Unlike the other cases, the demonized beasts here didn’t transform into a demon by their will. Inside this continent, there is a demonic plague running amok, your imperial majesty. A single scar from a demonized creature could infect a beast or person and transform it into a mindless demon. It is highly recommended for you to retreat to the empire,” Advised the shadow.

“That dangerous, huh… Is there one of us who got infected and transformed into a demon?” (Druid Oz)

“Luckily there is none, your imperial majesty. Since all of the members you brought here are undead, the demonic infection has no effect on us since our magic core keeps on devouring the surrounding demonic mana,” said the shadow.

“I see… Then that’s a piece of good news. If what you just said is true then, for now, secure the perimeter and isolate those who seem to be infected. Leave five of you to follow my shadows, order the summoners to summon their pawns, and make them defend the outskirts and the kingdom walls,” Ordered Druid Oz.

“Orders received,” Answered the shadow as it immediately disappears into the air together with the other shadows.

“It seems that you’ve lots of secrets, Lord Ren,” said prime minister Allomere as he transformed back to his human form.

“And so do all of you, am I right? You don’t seem to be surprised by the encounter with the demons, after all,” Answered Druid Oz indifferently.

“Well, of course. We need to know all of the information to be able to protect this kingdom, Lord Ren,” Answered the prime minister.

“Stop it, Allomere. Even if he’s full of mysteries, he’s not our enemy, Allomere. If he’s our enemy, he wouldn’t rush here just to save Charnia and us, won’t he?” Cut the Galhala King.

“I know. I’m not cornering him. I’m thankful for you to help us and once again saved Charnia without having her hurt, Lord Ren,”  said Prime Minister Allomere indifferently.

“He said so but he’s very grateful just as I am, Lord Ren. He never thanked anyone so the fact that he thanked you just now meant that he’s sincerely grateful, please understand,” (The Galhala King)

“It’s my pleasure to be able to help,” Answered Druid Oz with a slight bow before he suddenly furrowed his eyebrows.

“Lord Ren? Is there something wrong?” Asked the Galhala King.

“My summoned beasts are calling,” said Druid Oz as he rushed outside the royal castle.

When Druid Oz get out of the castle, his summoned beast had waited patiently in front of the royal castle with some corpses in front of them.

“This is…” (Druid Oz)

The beasts approached Druid Oz and let Druid Oz pets them. When Druid  Oz pet them, the memories of his familiars entered his mind.

The image of them killing the summoned demons before they were able to hurt any of the Galhala kingdom’s citizens appeared inside Druid Oz’s mind.

With a gentle smile, Druid Oz once again pets his familiars as he praises them.

“All of you did a great job,” said Druid Oz. After petting them for a while, he called them back, unsummoning them from this realm.

“T-This is… Don’t see, Charnia,” Muttered the Galhala Queen as she saw the burnt corpses on the ground as she immediately covered Charnia’s eyes.

They are Owlfolks that are in their owl form. It’s unknown whether they are the citizens of the Galhala kingdom or from the other kingdoms, but there is one thing for sure that all of them now know.

The Eastaria continent is in great danger.

“That self-proclaimed demon king before. It seems that he summoned these infected demons to spread the demonic plague inside this kingdom. It’s lucky that we managed to prevent it from happening… If not…” (Druid Oz)

If not…

The Galhala King and the prime minister, Allomere stared in the direction where Druid Oz’s looking.

“If not… There is a huge possibility there will be lots of casualties…” (The Galhala King)

“Lord Ren… I’m very grateful for what you’ve done… But could you please tell us who you really are?” Asked the Galhala King.

“My name is real, I am Ren Arken. But I’m not an outcast, your little daughter assumed that without letting me saying anything about myself, to begin with,” (Druid Oz)

“Eh? You’re not an outcast?” (Charnia)

“I’m not,” (Druid Oz)

“Indeed. I heard that shadow serving you called you ‘your imperial majesty’ when he reported to you, after all,” (Allomere)

“Who are you, Lord Ren?” Asked Claria.

“I am the emperor of an empire located inside the magical forest of Everdeen, the Tarot Empire,” (Druid Oz)

“A-An emperor!? Inside the magical forest of Everdeen!? Impossible! That legendary forest is filled with too much danger to be able to even make a kingdom inside it!” (Claria)

“Trust it or not, but it does exist. And I’m the emperor, the clone of the emperor actually. Well, I’ll give you the details about my empire later, all you need to know is I have no malicious intent when I helped your daughter,” said Druid Oz towards the Galhala King.

“Hahahaha! I know that even if you don’t tell me that, Lord Ren! I see… No wonder you’re strong, intelligent, and brimming with so much charisma. So you’re an emperor, huh? What do you think, Allomere?” Asked the Galhala King towards the prime minister, Allomere.

“Hm… It’s hardly believable, but the way the demon talked to him, it seems that you’ve faced demons for quite a long time, Lord Ren. Not only facing them, but you’ve also hindered or even crushed their plans. Thinking logically, it’s impossible for you to achieve such a feat alone. And it seems that you’re not a person from the holy church, so at least I don’t think he’s lying,” (Allomere)

“I see… Well, if the prime minister had said that much of you, then it means you’re definitely not an enemy, HAHAHAHA! And it seems that my queen also has a great feeling about you, Lord Ren! Then that’s settled!” said the Galhala King carefreely as he loudly laughed.

“Now that I’ve told you my real identity, could you please explain to me now, your majesty. About the situation and the danger the Eastaria continent had been facing…” (Druid Oz)
