At the far south of the Tarot empire, countless magic beasts are roaming at every point of the forest, and the kings of the magic beasts are currently gathering.
“Bird king, how’s the situation?” A heavy voice breaks the silence.
Hearing the question, a 4 meters tall eagle responds to the questioner, “None of our attacks succeed, monkey king. Not even one kingdom is destroyed or even damaged,”
“Even though we’ve sent some stronger ones, I couldn’t see any openings at their defenses. Each of their soldiers is terrifying, from the report I heard, there are still no casualties on their side, while we’ve lost almost a hundred thousand of our race,” A bear as huge as a tree continued.
“The latest reports said that they got powerful magic beasts defending their capital too, is that true?” The bird king asked the monkey king that looks like a 5-meter tall gorilla.
“It’s true, some of my underlings reported the same thing too,” Said the monkey king with a solemn expression.
“Does the three of you incapable of defeating this so-called Tarot empire?” A deep and terrifying voice suddenly sounded, when the voice appears, all of the kings present immediately went into silence when they heard the voice.
“I-it’s not like that, lion emperor. But you said that they will be an easy opponent so we underestimated them a little, but it turns out that they have strong warriors and impenetrable defenses! Give us some more time!” The bird king said, panicking.
“Y-yes! You must be tired from battling with the demons and we’re grateful to you for saving us from the demons, let us handle this,” The bear king continued.
When demons attacked the whole Everdeen magical forest, the magic beasts are getting slaughtered and massacred by the demons as all of them have unprecedented strength. But when one of the demon kings attacks the magic beasts too, the one who faced him is the lion emperor that becomes the emperor of the magic beasts at the magical forest of Everdeen.
The demon king is at the [King] rank and despite the emperor title at the lion emperor, it’s still at the [King] rank too. The lion emperor ordered the magic beasts to flee and do not watch the fight in case he loses they will get massacred by the demon king.
But the lion emperor managed to return to them, battered. All of the magic beasts cheered and rejoice, but the lion emperor suddenly gives out a new order, while the air of battle remains, he orders the other magic beast kings to attack the Tarot empire that suddenly pops out at the magical forest out of nowhere.
“I see… Don’t need to hesitate to say to me if you’re at the pinch, the late wolf king left his soldiers with me before he died, and the snake king are still on stand by, I could give you some reinforcements if you need it,” (Lion Emperor)
“It’s fine, lion emperor. It’s just that we’ve underestimated the enemy,” (Bear King)
(If we accept your reinforcement, you’ll consider us useless and kill us like you kill the wolf king, after all!) (Bear King)
“It’s good then…” (Lion emperor)
“What is good?” A new voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Hm? Who are you?” (Lion Emperor)
“Isn’t that should be my line, demon!?” (???)

Oz came out from the laboratory after checking the development of the weapons he requested Thydal to make. Feeling satisfied with the progress, Oz left the laboratory with a satisfied smile.
When Oz got out of the laboratory, Oz felt a presence suddenly appeared beside him.
“Your majesty,” The figure said.
“Brad,” (Oz)
The one that suddenly appeared is the leader of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order, Brad.
“The first step of spreading the ‘Jack of All Trades’ to the whole world had already started. I’ve sent some well-trained members of the secret order to several kingdoms near the forest, they’ll start their intelligence gathering starting from being a merchant or mercenary,” (Brad)
“The training course your majesty gives for the secret order had boosted the stealth, strength, and the mana capacity of the members greatly. The name ‘Jack of All Trades’ truly suited them now,” (Brad)
“I’m glad to hear that,” (Oz)
“I’ve personally searched for some information about the magic beast outbreak,” (Brad)
“Did you found any useful information?” (Oz)
“Yes, I infiltrated to the far south and interrogated an intellectual magic beast that has the ability to speak, it is said that the magic beast kings are having a conference several hours from now,” (Brad)
“It said that the ‘Lion Emperor’ had summoned the kings,” (Brad)
“Lion Emperor?” (Oz)
“Yes, but something didn’t match the information. When I tried to trace the lion emperor, there are faint traces of demonic mana, but I couldn’t feel anything from the lion emperor except for the tremendous mana it possesses,” (Brad)
“You meet the lion emperor?” (Oz)
“Yes, but I’ve retreated before it could notice my presence, I hold some suspicions, but I think you’ve thought of this already,” (Brad)
Oz shows a satisfied smile once more.
“As expected of the leader of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order, Brad. Your thoughts ran a little bit quicker than Aegir,” (Oz)
“Indeed. I also hold some suspicions about the magic beast sudden outbreak. The demons should be attacking the whole forest, I thought that the magic beasts managed to repel the demons with their number and power, but after watching the magic beasts prowess, I started to doubt that they really manage to defeat the demons at the far south,” (Oz)
“But if there really are some traces of demonic mana near the lion emperor’s territory, then I could only think one possibility,” (Oz)
“I see… It looks like your majesty thinks the same thing as I did… You mean that the lion emperor is an imposter, right?” Said Brad as he narrows his eyes.
“Exactly. Splendid thinking, Brad. Immediately tell the others about this, we’ll make a small elite group and assault them when they are gathering,” (Oz)
“As you wish,” (Brad)
———————–_————————_————————————-_——————————_—————————-_————————–_—
Following Oz’s order, Brad told the report to other kings and higher-ups of the Tarot empire and asked them to gather at the undead kingdom that nearest to the far south.
They gather quickly and together with Oz, they assault the magic beasts.
“Hm? Who are you?” The lion emperor asked with a menacing aura.
“Isn’t that should be my line, demon!?” Using the goblin [King] clone, Oz dashes and strikes the lion emperor.
(Hm?) (Oz)
Oz’s strikes managed to hit the lion emperor, but it got a different sensation when his strike hits the lion emperor’s body.
(It’s so soft as if I’m cutting tofu) (Oz)
“L-lion emperor-” The bear king and the other beast kings tried to back up the lion emperor.
“Not that fast,” Aegir and others stand in front of the beast kings, blocking its way.
The monkey king snorted.
“We need to back up the lion emperor, bird king!” (Monkey King)
“Roger that!” The bird king flew high, but when he finally catches a glimpse of the lion emperor, a menacing red aura is surrounding him.
“W-what is this? Demonic mana?” (Bird King)
“Kukkukuku! Well done noticing my presence in such a short time, emperor of the Tarot empire,” (????)
“Your disguise could only able to fool these magic beasts, but not us,” Oz coldly said.
“Hmph!”
“W-wha!?” (Oz)
The lion emperor’s body suddenly melted to huge red liquid.
“Seriously? D-don’t tell me…” Oz’s expression became bitter seeing the sight in front of him.
The red liquid splits into 10 forms, and each form transforms into 10 different types of demon.
“L-lion emperor?” (Bear King)
“Have you realized now? He’s not the lion emperor you know, it’s just a demon that disguises itself and took your lion emperor form,” (Oz)
“My transformation should be perfect, I wonder how could you see through the great disguise of the mighty me, the demonic slime king?” (Demon Slime King)
“Why should I even tell you that, huh? You disgusting slime,” (Oz)
(First of all…) (Oz)
Oz summons his appraisal card at his right hand and threw it to one of the demonic slime king forms at a high speed. Because the appraisal card couldn’t give any damage, the demonic slime king didn’t even bother to dodge it as he didn’t sense any danger from it.
“What are you even trying to pull with such a weak attack?” (Demonic Slime King)
