“There is no end of them!” (Borg)

Orc Oz, the imperial knights, Brad, and Gurolf battled with the demons that came out from the hell’s gate for an hour non-stop and there is still no sign of end of them.

The strongest demon that came out of the gate is at the [Duke] rank, while the other demons are not that strong, their terrifying number is the most troubling thing.

“What do you think will happen if we destroy the gate?” (Orc Oz)

“It’ll explode. A gate that connects to outer-dimension possesses a huge amount of mana. If we destroy the gate that acts as the medium of the mana pool, it will make a huge explosion. We could only seal it,” (Gurolf)

“Gurolf, do you think you could do it?” Orc Oz asked Gurolf.

“Easily, but since it’s my first time, I might need a longer time,” (Gurolf)

“It’s fine, we’ll cover you. [Herculean Bash]!!!” Orc Oz smashes the ground, sending the demons flew and the cave quivering.

“[Fast Step] [Multiple Kill]” Brad uses a combine the use of both of the skills and kills lots of the demons in a few seconds.

“Handy as usual, you use your skill as skillful as ever, Brad,” (Orc Oz)

“Thanks for the compliment,” (Brad)

“Ren! It’s ready!” (Gurolf)

“Everyone! Retreat to Gurolf’s back!” Orc Oz commanded and everyone immediately run to Gurolf’s back. Some demons take the opportunity to get close but Oz bashes them away with his greatsword.

“Burn, [Flame of Gehenna]” (Gurolf)

A blue flame enveloped all of the demons, burning them to cinders.

“That’ll keep their number for a while! Everyone! Protect Gurolf as he seals the gate!” (Orc Oz)

Gurolf went to the back of the gate and try to start sealing the gate.

“All of the imperial knights! Protect Gurolf! Brad and I will block their way, making sure no one of them gets out of the cave!” (Orc Oz)

“””Roger that!””” (The Imperial Knights and Brad)

“Brad, make sure you don’t die,” (Orc Oz)

“I will,” (Brad)

“It looks like the situation is already under control, even though they barely made it, though. The expedition to the undead world is going smoothly too. But indeed, it will ensure the success rate if they were given some divine equipment too,” (Slime Oz)

“Aegir, could you give these blueprints to Thydal?” (Slime Oz)

“Blueprints? What blueprints are these, Ren?” (Aegir)

“It’s the equipment for my other clones and the kings and generals of the empire. I’m planning to imbue it with skills and magics by myself,” (Slime Oz)

“Y-you’ll give us equipment like those emperor’s equipment?” Aegir asked with a face full of hope.

“Yea, I know you stare at me with such hopeful eyes. Go send it to Thydal quickly if you want to get your equipment too,” (Orc Oz)

“HAHAHAHAHA! You know me well, Ren! Then I’ll go deliver these blueprints to Thydal so I could get my divine equipment too,” Said Aegir as he went to deliver the blueprints to Thydal.

“Well, anyone will become greedy if they see divine equipment getting made that easily. His reaction is rather humble already, he shows good self-restraint in front of divine class equipment, that itself is considered applaudable already,” (Slime Oz)

“Okay, where are we? Having Gurolf and Brad going into the hell’s gate is a good decision. Gurolf will have a chance to learn the demonic magic and get some understanding about it, while Brad will start thinking about the best way of killing a demon because he’s a natural-born hunter,” (Slime Oz)

“The next objectives are to search for other magic beast kings that could be subdued while dispatching more people on investigating the movements of the demons. I hope they haven’t encountered any humans yet, it will be a trouble if those humans start to send some expedition team here, they’ll try their best to exploit us because of their greed,” (Slime Oz)

“Oh well, that’s one of the reasons I’m being the one who stands by here and watching over the empire’s progress personally though. Okay, enough of complaining, let’s check through other things once more,” Slime Oz take a look at some documents in front of him.

“The adamantine magic ore should be enough for everyone, even if there it’s not enough, the workers are still mining the magic ore from the dungeon. The demon [King] clone and his summoned demon generals had finally had some results, huh. Clearing the dungeons to collect the loots gives me a lot of cards and valuable loots, as expected of a dungeon,” (Slime Oz)

“I think I’ll give some of the new clones to support him and to make them level up too. But… It’s still a long journey before the demon [King] clone reach the [Emperor] rank, huh. This is troubling, as expected a war is the most convenient way to level up,” (Slime Oz)

“Okay, let’s send the goblin [King] clone to survey the north to check up on the movements of the humans. Let’s hold some parties and events I get from my previous life too, it will make the citizens happy too,” (Slime Oz)

“Ah! It looks like the real body wants to use the divine emperor attire, let’s turn it to cards,” (Slime Oz)

**********************************************

“Come in…” Oz said. Oz is drinking tea as he finally relaxes at the sofa after decorating and cleaning it, but when he took the first sip of the tea, someone suddenly knocks at his door, sensing at the mana of the person, Oz lets him in.

*Sound Of Door Being Opened*

“Sharp as usual I see,” Old man Kyron entered the room with a weird cape as if he’s undercover.

“What happened, old man? Your face seems rather stiff,” Oz narrowed his eyes when he saw the stiff expression of the old man.

“Ren, there is an urgent thing that came up,” (Old man Kyron)

“You don’t need to go around the bush, old man. Just tell me, I’ll help you with all I can,” (Oz)

“Thanks, kid. The truth is, The kingdom is about to get attacked by the Potterland kingdom… They had gathered their troops at the north,” (Old man Kyron)

“And why does the kingdom doesn’t take any countermeasures, yet?” (Oz)

“I believe you already have a guess. The noble faction deliberately blocked all of the information related about the attack, and it looks like even the queen didn’t know about it,” (Old man Kyron)

“What do you mean? Why haven’t you told her yet?” (Oz)

“We’re actually under the danger of the attack from Gracefield too, if the queen sent her soldier to intercept the attack from Potterland, our power will get significantly weakened, and even if I tell her now, the soldiers won’t make it in time. I can’t let the citizens there die,” (Old man Kyron)

“So, the point is?” (Oz)

Old man Kyron’s expression got even more serious.

“This time, I won’t ask you to go to the battlefield as it will be too dangerous, kid. I knew you realized that the princess’s room is right beside yours. Your task from me is to guard her whatever happens,” (Old man Kyron)

“From your way of talking, don’t tell me you’re going to face that army alone, old man,” Oz looks at old man Kyron’s eyes, and it seems his guess is right.

Oz sighs.

“I’m sorry kid, I may be-” (Old man Kyron)

“How many are the soldiers from Potterland?” (Oz)

“Huh?” (Old man Kyron)

“I’m asking you how many are their number, old man?” (Oz)

“It’s about 20,000 soldiers,” (Old man Kyron)

“20,000… Is it considered many or normal,” (Oz)

“I’m afraid it’s their elite royal army, Potterland is famous for their great elite soldiers that had great prowess. Why are you asking?” ((Old man Kyron)

“You’re too old, and you’re too famous, but your age reason comes first. If you die, the kingdom will get even more danger in the future. I’ll let you owe one to me, leave this to me, I have a plan to manage them. Just tell me where they are and I want nobody to see me fight,” (Oz)

“You want to face them!? Are you crazy, kid!?” (Old man Kyron)

“Old man, without you, the kingdom might collapse. I would be able to survive fighting against 20,000 soldiers, just relax. I said I got a plan,” (Oz)

Seeing Oz’s eyes that seems to not lying, Old man Kyron decided to take on the feint hope he saw at this full of potential young man.

“Are you serious, kid?” (Old man Kyron)

“Yea, don’t be too dramatic, I will definitely survive,” (Oz)

“Then fine, if you manage to survive, I’ll accept anything you request. But one thing, kid, if you’re in a pinch, I accept it if you flee. Just don’t die,” Old man Kyron stared at Oz with a face full of worry.

“I said relax, old man! I’ll massacre all of them, so you just need to go to the queen and report it to her, and say that you’ve handled it, okay, old man?” (Oz)

“Fine… I owe you a lot, kid… Please be safe…” The old man said with full of emotions.

“Now hurry, tell me where the enemy base is. A night like this is the best time to make a night raid,” (Oz)
