Year: 1203 AD,
Many things were burning in ROYAL EMPIRE, whether be public property or someone's heart.
Rightman and civilians arrived just after sometime the two spirits left.
Glimpses of destruction were enough for Rightman to understand what had happened.
Derono was inside his personal chamber. He had called Rel there.
Derono assigned Blue and Jerius to manage the rehabilitation of civilians.
Rel entered Derono's personal chamber.
[Rel]: What is it Derono? What happened here? Had some enemy attack?
[Derono]: Yes, you can say that. But before that let me ask you...do you have any siblings?
To this question, Rel made a bitter face.
[Rel]: Yeah, you can say that though I avoid them.
[Derono]: What if I say that they were the ones who attacked today?
[Rel]: Really? They always get on my nerves. They always do this to me... really bad. They must be serving Gleno. Urike already served Gleno even before he was Great Demon Lord.
[Derono]: Can you explain your dynamics with your siblings?
[Rel]: They were bullies. They would always kill me by destroying my physical body. The reason would be because I am chaotic and needs punishment.
Spirits, especially higher spirits have two bodies, physical body and spiritual body which exists in the divergent space between real world and Spiritual Realm (Realm where Godly Knights live).
Even of physical body of a higher spirit is killed, the spiritual body in the intermediate Realm can create another physical body however the power level of physical body will start from the lowest tier of his rank.
For current Rel, if his physical body is killed now, he can recreate another physical body however his power will deplete to lowest tier of Supreme Spirit which is his current rank and he would have to grow that power with the passing time.
Higher Spirits can't die unless their both bodies are erased from existence.
To Rel's mention of punishment and rude behaviour of his sisters, Derono sighs.
[Derono]: Does that mean your sisters hate you?
[Rel]: Hate? That would be something of smaller concept to show their cruelty towards me.
[Derono]: Let's keep that to that. Do you have any other sibling?
To Derono's question, Rel started thinking deeply.
[Rel]: Don't know. We spirits are born in a different way in intermediate realm . It can be possible but since I never met any spirit of my caliber , I always assumed I had two sisters. I don't think I have any other siblings.
[Derono]: I understand. They are siding with Great Demon Lord. What will you do?
[Rel]: Obviously I will be against them.
Fren Kingdom,
A human figure was standing in his huge balcony of the palace. It was Gleno.
[Gleno]: You two shouldn't hide now.
To his remark two spirits appear there, Urike and Irine.
[Irine]: Geez, hiding from Lord Gleno is futile.
[Urike]: That's the might of our Lord.
[Gleno]: So have you seen it?
To his question Irine was slightly confused while Urike giggled.
[Urike]: Yes my lord, it was true.
[Irine]: What do you mean? What's true?
[Gleno]: Grey Adventurer Silver Tusk...he has been already marked as curse by Hell.
Irine was surprised by that.
[Irine]: What does that mean my lord?
[Gleno]: It means he has become wanted in Hell Society. He had sacrificed his body and soul long ago getting a cursed mark on himself. This curse gave him Sword Style 0 and that was the reason he could defeat my special demons even though he was weak in past. However he surpassed the power of his Sword Style 0 recently by evolving to Hero Tier. This his curse has been developed and the message reached to Hell. He had become wanted in Hell now.
[Urike]: He will soon be taken away by Hell Society soldiers and then he would be thrown in a ritual in Hell Realm.
Irine remained stunned in awe.
[Gleno]: That is true. The power that lies in Hell Society is unlike anything. Whole Hell Society is controlled by their 10 strongest Devil Lords. Most terrifying thing about them is that their leader, Devil God Azaloth is even more powerful than me, Great Demon Lord. In past, only Thunder Tusk was the one to negotiate with them for me and he could accomplish that only due to a certain person. They must have started their moves already.
Royal Empire,
It was already late night. Almost everyone should be fast asleep. Rel and Blue must be competing again for something stupid.
I was walking inside the palace, sleepless.
I have to build Royal Empire again. I am rather confused about it.
A large sum of assets was used in the war by Mayor, Royal Empire also lost it's strongest warrior, Bronze Knight, many soldiers also died fighting for their ruler Mayor.
Royal Empire is centre of DEITIC PLACES in the continent and it is going through rough time right now. Even Underground Town was destroyed according to Rightman so we can't get much from it too.
" I think I should ask for help from Grezo Empire."
Grezo Empire , I just heard about it from few sources. It is located in another continent. It is the centre of DEITIC PLACES of that continent. It is said to be one of the strongest Empire right now. The ruler of that place according to rumours is arrogant and coward one. Even though he is said to be on par with Hero Tier, he negotiates even with weaker demons by handing some part of treasure to them.
Thinking about such things I was walking outside the palace when I felt some creepy presence behind me.
I jumped away and turned to see who it was. It was looking like human even though I can say that it wasn't a human.
He was watching me unfazed by my movement.
" I am Kazaar. I am one of the Devil Lords from Hell Society."
That person said. More like he announced.
"What do you want?"
I asked taking a fighting pose. I don't know much about Hell society. Infact I don't know anything about it and what does Devil Lord mean?
[Kazaar]: Your abduction.
He said.
I used by S+++ Tier Ability (Space Jumper) .
{*It had been evolved after defeating Mayor.}
I teleported him far away along with myself. I can't bring more damage to Royal Empire.
[Kazaar]: Resistance is futile however I won't mind it.
He said calmly.
He was calm and composed while I was at slight unease. I have a feeling that this guy infront of me is more powerful than me.
I unsheathe my sword and dashed towards him with full speed and attacked him with combination of my ability that amplifies attack.
I slashed him in two parts.
The power destroyed whole series of mountains in it's path.
[Kazaar]: That was great power.
I jumped away again.
I was shocked to see him alive. I was sure I slashed him in two parts and now he was standing before me without a single scratch.
[Kazaar]: That was surely a feat worthy of praise however it wasn't your true power, right?
Yes, he was true. After ascending to Hero Tier, I just unlocked an ability, a Hero Tier ability called (TRANSFORM STATE). With that power, all my stats would skyrocket rivaling to even Demon Lords according to Status Lake's analysis.
"Hero Tier ability (Tra..."
Before I can complete activation I lost my consciousness and fell. My eyes were feeling heavy.
Kazaar was standing there watching Derono fell.
[Kazaar]: Looks like I went overboard.
Kazaar picks up Derono and throws him inside a portal and then enters the portal himself deactivating it.
Rel and Blue who were fishing in river in Royal Empire sensed the Aura of Derono to be erased.
Fuji who was walking in the palace noticed that Derono wasn't in the palace.
Fren Kingdom,
Gleno was sitting on his throne alone in the courtroom.
" Looks like Hell Society already made it's move..."
Those were the thoughts of Gleno.
