The day after the welcome banquet, the Grandaria King announced that the Grandarian heroes will embark on a journey to end the demonic crisis according to the prophecy. It surprises the people, but all of them cheered as it turns out the heroes from their country are real heroes that exist in the church’s prophecy.
Even though they don’t have a good impression about the Holy empire and the church, the fact that their country’s heroes are being well-known throughout the world is very reassuring and makes them proud.
Since Peter is the king of the Grandaria kingdom, he apologized as he still needs to remain at the kingdom in order to make sure that all of the kingdom affairs will be stable for decades ahead. He promised that he will catch up with them after he finished his work in the Grandaria kingdom.
Saintess Elvira and Hero Lian are a little bit reluctant when they heard it, but since it seems that Peter won’t be changing his decision, they decided to accept his decision and travel with the rest of the Grandarian heroes without him.
All of them had heard the plans of the Saintess Elvira and Hero Lian, and after hearing it, all of them agrees to embark on a journey to stop the demonic invasion and prevent the resurrection of the demon emperor. They have solid information, they have the prophecy divine ability, and they have powerful members that they’ve sent to accomplish this quest.
The thought of bringing an end to the demonic invasion just with the Tarot empire alone crossed Peter’s mind once, but thinking that the Grandaria kingdom might suffer more losses if he chooses that path, Peter decided that going along with the so-called ‘prophecy’ might be the best course of action.
The Grandaria kingdom don’t really need the rewards of compensation from the Holy Empire as the tradings between the Tarot Empire and the Grandaria kingdom has been going very smoothly, but since the demonic invasion and the revival of the demon emperor will definitely give a huge threat for the kingdom, preventing it would be the wisest move to take.
They will embark on their journey the next morning, and their destination is the beastmen empire, Gramaezan.
“A journey, huh… The last time we had one is…” Edreale tries to recall when is the last time they have a journey together.
“It’s when we’re trying to search for Ren. We never had any other adventure together ever since,” (Sera)
Azaline and Edreale are currently lying around on the bed of the royal chamber. Since the both of them got too exhausted from the welcome banquet last night, they’re too reluctant to part away with the bed even though it’s already 7 AM.
“An adventure, huh. Those were the very fun and happy days of us…” Muttered Edreale as she recalled the adventure she had together with Ren and co.
“At night when we’re camping at a forest because we didn’t manage to arrive at a town or even a village, I’ll be singing, Alfred will be laughing and teasing Peter, Sen will polish his sword, Sera will be stealing glances on Ren-” (Edreale)
“I don’t!” Rebuked Sera strongly as she couldn’t even remember how many times she did that before.
“And Ren. He’ll make delicious food for us, cracking jokes that would make even Sen and I laugh, and secretly went to a distance to practice when we’re asleep,” (Edreale)
“Edry… Stop it… You’ll make me cry…” said Sera as she covers her face with her pillow.
“Sorry, Sera. It’s just that… It was my happiest memories that I couldn’t stop recalling it…” Edreale raises her hand above as if she’s trying to reach that memory of hers. As if she’s trying to rip off the space and time to go back to that moment.
“True… We were all kids back then, aren’t we?” (Sera)
“Yes. You’re the haughtiest and most annoying kid of the party,” (Edreale)
“E-Edry… Saying that without even having a slight change in your tone is kind of hurts… Please don’t make me remember the embarrassing ones…” said Sera with a wry smile.
“Hehehe. Sorry. But you know what, Sera?” (Edreale)
“Hm?” (Sera)
“I have a great feeling. He’s coming. At a powerful speed, stronger than before, and he’ll bring more of his weird tricks again. And when we’re in danger, he’ll definitely show up,” (Edreale)
“True… Somehow, it feels like it would really happen…” (Sera)
********************************
Inside a certain dimension that no one knows.
A huge dimension of nothingness.
A dimension that despite its tremendous size, there are only two men inside it.
For countless seconds, countless minutes, countless hours, countless days, countless weeks, countless months, and countless years are being spent just to battle inside it.
Inside it, following the sound of explosions and slashes, single laughter could be heard.
It’s a voice filled with malice.
A voice that heard like it came out from a terrifying dragon.
A voice that would shake up any soul that heard the voice.
The voice came from the one using a black grand robe, his figure is big, but his bearing emits an air of a sovereign. Before him, there’s a person, using the attire of an earth’s magician, dashing from a certain point to another, chasing over the source of the evil laughter.
And suddenly-
*Slash!*
*Sound of a drop of water fell to the ground*
!?!?!?!?
It’s a drop of blood. A drop of blood fell to the ground.
The drop didn’t come from the magician.
“Fufufufufu… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!”
Despite being hurt, the evil laughter didn’t disappear, but got even bigger than before. As if he’s enjoying the pain that he felt and the blood that drips out of his body.
“It’s a great leap!! A great plan!! For hundreds of years, you finally managed to hurt me, magician!!!!! Even if we’ll fight for more thousands of years, as I expected before, I won’t get bored!!!!!!!” The source of the evil laughter rejoiced.
“That gaze of yours, that movement, that plan, and the way you memorize all of the moves I made along with our countless battles!! You’re really are the best, Ren Arken!!!!!!!” The man points at the magician with his index finger in an exaggerated manner, but-
“Shut it,” The magician answer coldly as he once again dashed towards the man with his magic cards.
“How mean. If the term of ‘friend’ is considered by the amount of time a certain person spent with the other person, then it could be said that I’ve become your best friend since quite a while ago, no?” (Demon Emperor)
“As if,” Oz answer in the same cold tone as he sent several strikes towards the demon emperor again.
But the one that had memorized the battle is not Oz alone, the demon emperor had also grown accustomed to Oz’s attacks, and without showing any sign of having difficulty, the demon emperor blocked and evades Oz’s attacks.
But even so, the man before him is the legendary magician of earth that had also made a big footprint in another world. He had finally landed a blow towards the demon emperor, and since the demon emperor had finally got a wound, he definitely won’t let such a chance of winning slip away that easily.
Oz threw a deck of cards towards the demon emperor at once at a terrifying speed, leaving no room to run. But of course, the demon emperor easily blocked it with his stacks of demonic barriers, but at the same time, Oz disappeared from his position and teleported to behind the demon emperor with one of his Joker cards.
“I won’t fall to the same trick, magician!” Shouted the demon emperor as he summoned another demonic barrier behind him, but-
“I never use the same trick twice as well,” Answered Oz as he once again teleported above the demon emperor with another joker card, but when he was about to throw another joker card towards the demon emperor.
“Too easy!” The demon emperor that possesses an unbelievable amount of mana and powerful strength takes Oz’s joker card head-on. Since he had already applied two demonic barriers in active, he couldn’t make the third one because of the skill’s restriction, so the demon emperor made a defensive sphere by controlling his tremendous demonic mana manually and takes on Oz’s joker card.
The joker card is the strongest ace of Oz, even though he first thought that the effect is random, Oz had started to grasp the real ability of the joker card.
The joker card that went to the demon emperor transforms into a powerful red demonic beam that he once used towards Oz. The explosion is bigger than before, and Druid Oz that experience the attacks from the demon emperor firsthand knew how powerful that attack is.
“Is he dead?” (Oz)
*Slash!*
“Tsk!” Oz clicked his tongue once before his head split from his body and fell to the ground.
“Fufufufu! HAHAHAHAHA!! That’s fun,” said the demonic emperor that had scars all over his body because of Oz’s attack, but not long after, the wound disappeared as if they’re not even there in the first place, and his clothes got to return to the way they used to be before the battle as well.
“Aren’t you getting too hasty lately, Ren?” (Demon Emperor)
“I guess so,” Answered Oz as his head slowly return to its original position.
“Take your time, this space’s time runs extremely slower than the real world. You won’t be able to leave this space unless you kill me, and I couldn’t let myself getting killed voluntarily either. And why are you getting so hasty lately?” (Demon Emperor)
“Hm… It might be just my imagination, but I could feel it,” (Oz)
“Feel what?”
“The people in that world. They’re calling me… I need to return soon,” Muttered Oz as he stared at the distance.
“I see… Then you’re going to need to kill me real quick then,”
