White Night Tower.

The White Night Tower, which always emitted soft light even in the middle of the desolate desert, lost its mana due to the Sota Desert crisis and looked miserable.

Three old human and dragon that turned into human stood on the roof that had a huge hole in it.

Kelliark, Octavia, Hedo and Kadun.

They sat on chairs Kelliark had forged with mana and looked out over the Sota Desert.

The desert was still full of traces of battle.

Due to the explosion of the underground construction site, the entire desert land collapsed, forming a hideous and huge valley, and the blowing sand wind permeated with embers and heat.

The flames and thunderstorms that had risen like tumors all over the desert showed no signs of ending even though they had been suppressing them for several days, and the remains of dead dragons and destroyed mass production ships were everywhere.

12 dragons were killed, 43 mass production ships were destroyed, 8 wraiths and 250 mages were killed.

And part of the blueprints for the mass-produced ship and the 'machine' were taken away.

"It's the first time the clan has suffered such a blow since the Great War of Defending the Holy Kingdom 500 years ago."

Kadun snorted as Kelliark spoke softly.

“I couldn’t compare it to this one back then.”

They say it as if it's not a big deal, but the most disturbing among them was Kadun.

The Duke family of demon world reappeared, and Murakan, who seems to have regained a lot of power. Those two factors made Kadun frustrated.

It felt like it was going to be a nightmare for him in many ways.

Of course, Murakan had only regained 50% of his prime day’s strength, but those who heard Hedo's report were mistaken.

The world's misunderstanding of Murakan's battle prowess, which began with the Black Kings incident, continues to grow in this way.

“Seeing that Runcandel succeeded in escaping even in your presence, it seems that Kadun is not afraid of Murakan for nothing.”

“No, when did I get scared?”

“It was like that last time. It was right after the Black King incident.”

“Why do you say that in front of other people?”

“……It wasn’t just the flagbearers and Murakan, but also Kinzelo and their demons. From the circumstances, it seems that the demon called Bianca Kaligo injured Lord Hedo.”

Kelliark and Kadun nodded at Octavia's additional explanation.

“Unlike Ainas Kaligo, Bianca Kaligo showed a level of first-division superhuman strength. At least, I think the damage ended with this much because Lord Hedo was there.”

"That's right, without Hedo, this place would have disappeared without a trace, Kelliark. And your daughter would have been either dead or captured as a test subject by the enemy."

“The child made an excellent judgement by evacuating all the troops from the Magic Tower in advance. If they were all there, it would have been a massacre. Because of that, my subordinates seem to have earned Lord Hedo's hatred a little...  .”

"Your daughter sometimes makes excellent judgments with strange intuition. Sandra is the only one that resembles you."

Hedo looked at the distant desert without saying anything this time.

When he started serving Sandra, he started to tell lies he hadn't told in his entire life, but this was the first time in such a serious case.

“Tell me if there is anything you wish for, Lord Hedo.”

“It is enough that you do not hold me accountable for failing to keep the vault safe.”

"That's not Lord’s fault. Please stop doing that and tell me."

“……A vacation or a few days would be appreciated. Including the lady.”

Kelliark smiled softly. Hedo was envious of seeing his eyes that seemed to see through everything.

“I will. Ten days, you can leave immediately."

"Then I'll come back and see you, my lord."

Hedo left immediately after Kelliark finished his sentence.

It was because it was insanely uncomfortable to keep lying, but the rest of the party admired his handsome back.

“I liked Lord Hedo’s dignified appearance like that.”

"That man is surely Zipfel’s treasure, Kelliark. You have to hold onto it well, so that he doesn't have other thoughts."

“Yeah, that’s how it should be. By the way..….”

Kelliark’s gaze landed between Romin Forest and the central border.

The place where Joshua opened the volcano at the end of the battle, the restoration personnel had not even properly approached the space yet.

"That power, it must have belonged to chaos, right? Octavia."

“Yes, patriarch.”

“Runcandel and chaos..... as well as the infiltration, and the power he showed at the end. This made my heart ache clear. The Prophet of Calamity is with Runcandel."

A prophet of calamity.

Ever since Solderet disappeared, Zipfel has been tracking her.

As far as Zipfel knew, the last time Solderet communicated with humans was their past patriarch, Riol Zipfel.

There has been a contractor since then, but nothing has been recorded about communicating with Solderet.

That's why Zipfel judged that the Solderet had lost its power. Or they thought he sealed himself in order not to keep the oath.

That was until Jin appeared, and also until the situation appeared that the Prophet of Calamity is in Runcandel.

“And the fact that Joshua Runcandel used the power of the prophet so openly can be proof that Chiron has reached the territory of the 5 kings of the Black Sea.”

"Yes, patriarch. Chiron Runcandel would never have allowed him to use the power of that unstable state. It would be surprising, if he couldn't have known of the Prophet's existence... but it's proven that he's condoned it so far. Did he even think there was no other way?"

“No, that would not be it. There's no way that monster is weak enough to lean on anything other than himself."

"Then why...?"

“Well, maybe he expected to see his children and followers overcome even the prophecies of calamity with the values of Runcandel and struggle.”

"He probably doesn't know that when his time runs out and we regain our former power, then Runcandel will surely perish. Did he make that choice in the midst of that? I think he must have expected something from the prophecy."

"He's not like us. He's old-fashioned."

Suddenly, Kelliark’s appearance began to rejuvenate.

The wrinkled face and back of the hands were straightened out, and the rough hair regained its luster. No one would recognize that he was Kelliark Zipfel, who instantly have the face of a mischievous boy.

"Anyway, we can't start an all-out war just with the feeling that Chiron has entered the territory of the 5 kings of the Black Sea. Moreover, as this incident has newly confirmed, the enemy's potential exceeds our expectations."

Runcandel and Kinzelo.

With this incident, Zipfel reaffirmed their strength. The Prophet of Calamity, demon dragon, and the power of the Demon Duke, and so on.

Even that may not be all.

"Maybe it's the price of arrogance gained from reigning as the world's best for a thousand years. Ah my the bones hurt a little bit. We were the ones who suffered the most even though we deliberately dragged them in to check their strength."

"Hmm, look at that. Many people have said that it's not time for you to leisurely look at a crystal ball that can't see anything. They'll become stronger now that the blueprints and machine have been stolen."

“So I will try to be a little more careful in the future. I need to speed up all my plans."

Completion of the demon’s god’s orb, whether or not Chiron entered the territory of 5 Kings of Black Sea, checking the exact contents of Runcandel's prophecy and trying to reinterpret it, restoring the old power of Zipfel, figuring out Solderet’s true intentions, tracking down Temar's tomb, etc.

One person is absolutely necessary to the accelerate and realise all these things.

"Put more manpower and resources in killing the last survivors of the Hister Clan."

“Do you have any manpower left to do that now? When are you going to restore all that?"

"I'm telling you to work harder, Kadun."

 "Oh, I'm so frustrated!"

“I need to move a little too…”

"Really!? You're not going to waste your time looking at the crystal ball now?"

"Yes."

Valeria Hister.

She is the key to all great powers. The key to victory, the key to postponing defeat, and the key to new opportunities.

“Maybe I should sit down at the negotiating table with Rosa Runcandel again. If we meet again on Hister's business this time, we will have no choice but to be a much lower business than that time.”

Kinzelo conference hall.

Most of the high-ranking officers, including Vishkel and Berakt, were looking at the tightly closed leader's office with distraught faces and the ship Grenil anchored in the back.

Since the Sword Emperor castle Incident, the leader has never woken up properly. But this time, Zephyrin and the ship, Grenil, used his powers, so the leader’s condition continued to deteriorate.

Squeak, boom! Cuddled...!

The half-destroyed Grenil screamed as it dropped the parts even if it was left standing still. That complicated the executives' feelings even more.

“So, our vice-leader over here! You used me as bait very appropriately. I've never seen such a shrewd person.”

“Hahaha, even if Lord Bishkel seems cold-blooded, he's a really good person. He always buy me sweet potato croquette.”

“Uh, this is delicious. I’ll have to ask for it every day from now on too. Anyway, if the vice-leader hadn’t launched a strategy to use me as bait there. I'm probably caught. Humans, they're stronger than I thought.... Ugh. Still, compared to my older sister, they're like ephemera."

“Let’s toast to Lord Bishkel!”

"Okay, Bubare! Sweet potato croquettes are pears!"

Only two people, Bubare and Ainas, were talking excitedly.

Ainas had no idea that she had never been used as bait, and that Vishkel had only regretted using the ship's power to save her.

In the end, it was true that Ainas was saved.

The ship Grenil and Bianca followed Zephyrin's signal flare, and Joshua explodes a volcano while Zipfel chases Kinzelo, and Ainas is quickly forgotten by everyone on the battlefield.

Hearing the sound of the two laughing and chatting, Vishkel's hair was really falling out.

Seeing the handful of hair in the palm of his hand, he found it difficult to resist the urge to decapitate them immediately.

“Stop harassing the poor vice-leader, you fiends.”

Zephyrin punched Bubare and Ainas in the head.

"That's right, no matter how good your sister is, everything should be appropriate. And the leader is lying there trying to recover Sir Bubare, not just this one. Shouldn't you be a little quiet today?"

Margiella also stood next to Zephyrin and said.

“Anyway, it would be nice for you two to go over there and get crushed. I'm dying of rage at being fooled by Jin Runcandel, but even Joshua Runcandel, who I was trying to take hostage, self-destructed.... Do you know? My mood is very, very bad, right?"

At Zephyrin's words, Bubare and Ainas seemed to disappear somewhere in a cold sweat.

“That… I’m sorry. Grand Duke. My younger sister… still she’s nice.”

"I know, I know, Princess Bianca."

"I’m Sorry."

Bianca bowed her elongated head on behalf of Ainas and disappeared following her sister.

Zephyrin let out a deep sigh and couldn't help but ponder whether they were the ones who would carry the future of the demon race.

"What are you going to do now? Miss Zephyrin."

When Margiella asked, Zephyrin gritted her teeth.

"Jin Runcandel, I'll have to negotiate with that damn human. If he play with me again this time, then I'll kill him at all costs..."
