The news of the Black Demon attacking Sector 1 spread like wildfire everywhere. The situation was quite tense and so the entire Sector 1 was in a state of lockdown.

A lockdown was imposed halting every movement from outside.

The guests of other species and the cadets accompanying them were all kept in. An investigation team was sent out to check everything.

Heavy security was imposed and military men from other Sectors were called for help. A huge net was spread all around keeping everything in control.

However, all these measures weren't able to calm down the restlessness.

...…..

In the towering chambers of a huge building, surrounded by a layer of mysterious eerie clouds…

A meeting was taking place with a somber atmosphere.

 Amidst walls adorned with large runes and arrayed around a massive circular table of polished obsidian, each seat was occupied by a figure exuding an unmistakable aura of sinister power.

At the head of the table,  sat Aaron as he went over the reports with a solemn atmosphere and then burst into curses.

"Damn! These bastards are already too much!"

"We all still haven't looked into trouble with them for blocking this zone ascension path yet they are creating trouble here."

His piercing gaze swept across the assembled leaders of the martial sects, each representing a pinnacle of human prowess in combat and strategy.

While the Federation Council took charge of most things, there was an order of higher power than that.

Sovereign Palace.

That only meets in case of emergency.

To his right sat General Liara of the Northern Paladins group. A special force consisting mostly of women.

Her silver hair was braided intricately, and her eyes held a glint of fierce determination.

To his left, Grand Master Zhan, whose mastery of ancient martial arts was legendary even among the revered throughout the world.

As for the reason being called Grand Master, it's because of his mastery of every weapon

Reports surfaced Black Demons had infiltrated human society, masquerading as ordinary citizens.

"Infiltration isn't a problem rather the way they invaded. Disguising as human…Only God knows how many have been walking among human skins."

The one who spoke was Gen.

Also, he was the one who reported everything.

"More than that I wonder why they came out now. If their reason was to cripple us, it wasn't time to show themselves still cannot afford to underestimate their capabilities or think of them as idiots," General Liara spoke, her voice steady yet edged with urgency. "Their ability to blend in among us is unprecedented. We must act and retaliate."

Grand Master Zhan nodded solemnly, his weathered face betraying years of contemplation and battles fought. "Agreed. Our vigilance must be unwavering. Every sector of society must be scrutinized. We cannot allow even a single Black Demon to evade our detection."

Aaron nodded thoughtfully, his brow furrowed with concern, "Now this sums up the question of how?"

"Since so many have managed to sneak in, how to catch the leftovers?"

As the leaders discussed strategy, Marshal Ryker, a towering figure clad in the traditional armor of the Western Vanguard, leaned forward.

 His deep and commanding voice resonated through the chamber, "We have already begun covert operations to identify these infiltrators. Surveillance networks are being expanded, and informants are being deployed discreetly."

"Maybe people having light elemental power can help. Also, we can ask for help so Gen why don't you…"Aaron smirked locking his gaze onto Gen who became flustered.

Seeing his smile, Gen cursed Aaron inwardly, 'Bastard, your kindness is too overbearing.'

Everyone knows that there was a thing or two between Gen and Arwen but they weren't able to take the last step so this bastard had been pushing too much.

Suppressing his urge to curse, Gen spoke around, "Did you hear the report fully? What about Leon?"

"Huh!"

"What about him?"

The moment the name arose, everyone showed their interest which made Aaron sigh. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Nothing much. The guy just messed up a bit," Aaron answered with a flustered smile and gave a run down.

A deep silence prevailed after everyone heard the story.

Liara's brows creased and she raised her voice, "The way things are going the boy is too dangerous to leave alone. If he conflicts with the families in Sector things might be flipped off and this is the last thing we need now in a Sector."

"I agree, "Grandmaster Zhan added.

"Initially, he would be tasked to clear off the monster around Sector 5 to 6 while guarding the walls but it seems there might be a problem of conflict if an idiot from those families provoked him."Aaron analyzed and grabbed his throbbing forehead.

Just as they fell in a pinch, they heard a voice.

"Leave it to me,"

Everyone turned toward gaze to a long-bearded white man.

"General Hales, are you sure?"

"Hmm! This is the type of guy we need on Frontlines. With this attack, I am sure that the Black Demons would begin their attack so the frontlines would be easy. So send him to Arcadia continent."

Another round of discussion went on and everyone agreed to the proposal.

After that...

Aaron's voice cut through the chamber like a blade through silk, commanding attention without raising beyond a firm timbre. "Prepare your troops. Mobilize our forces discreetly. Send notice to the families. We will root out these imposters and restore the sanctity of our borders. The war might not be far off."

"If we can deal with black demons, our world can finally begin to evolve."

...

Meanwhile, taking a rest Leon opened the system panel to see the amount of kill points he had gained.

[Congratulations! The host had beaten the protagonist.]

[You have gained 20 counter-attack points and 100 kill Points.]

DING]

[Congratulations! The host had beaten a protagonist.]

[You have gained 50 counter-attack points and 500 kill Points.]

He had killed quite a few and also his shadows used this chance to beat a protagonist.

"System writes everything in a single line."

[You have beaten the shit out of Protagonist Ael, the sub-heroine Arwin and also  saved heroines and protagonists...]

[You gained 60,000 counterattack points.]

"That's a good sum," Leon muttered, humming happily but just then.

He got a message about his posting.

....

Due to large-scale riots, my city is in a state of lockdown and the internet has been cut off.It had been 7 days after which I got the net and the problem had been happening quite often so I hope you understand.
