VOLUME 12: CHAPTER 10
[United Grakas Alliance]
It had been more than a week since Lark left the United Grakas Alliance. Still, the battle with the demons remained vivid in everyone’s mind.
Those located north of the nation didn’t experience the terror the demon army could bring, but those stationed in the Talverton Stronghold witnessed everything.
They could still remember how a single human tilted the tide of the battle, and how his sma...

VOLUME 12: CHAPTER 9
Dismayed by the result of the duel, the Emperor left the arena soon after the battle was concluded. Emperor Sylvius wanted to discuss things privately with the Chief Royal Advisor, particularly regarding the reason why he decided to interfere with the match.
Before leaving with his men, the Emperor said to Reginald that he was free to choose which of his two sons to serve under. And that he needed to come up with a decision by the n...

Powerful men recognize each other.
These words were especially true for Isaac Segarus, Leader of the Imperial Knights Order and Sword Saint of the Empire.
Although he looked calm and nonchalant, the moment he saw the Lord Knight from afar, he immediately realized this would be a dangerous fight.
Back when Jacob Fraser said the Lord Knight would win against him, Isaac simply dismissed it as the arrogance of a fool, but no...

VOLUME 12: CHAPTER 7
Back when Reginald was still a kid, when he was still living in the Empire, there was a time he used to look up to Sylvius Lockhart Mavis. Emperor Sylvius was just a prince back then, but he’d already amassed numerous achievements that dwarfed his competitors.
But meeting him now, Reginald couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
It felt underwhelming.
The Emperor’s request felt petty, to the point of being childish. Surely, ther...

“Princess, His Majesty, the Emperor, has summoned you.”
It was surprising news. It had only been two days since they’d arrived at the capital.
Emperor Sylvius was a busy man, and considering the current predicament the nation was facing, she didn’t expect they would be granted an audience this soon.
“We have three hours,” said the head maid. “...

‘It has to work.’
Jacob Fraser’s heart pounded as he made his way to the Fourth Tower of Mages located in the imperial capital.
During their journey back to the Empire, Fraser read Lost Paradise, the book given to him by King Lark, a total of three times. Fraser found the story depicting the struggles of the main character in the book mundane, almost boring, but what made him read through the book several times ...

“We’ll go our separate ways here, Princess,” said Jacob Fraser.
After passing through the southern gate of the capital, Jacob Fraser decided to go to the Fourth Tower of Mages immediately. Princess Luna didn’t seem surprised by this, and she readily agreed.
“Thank you for escorting me, Lord Fraser,” said Princess Luna. She tucked her hair behind her ear as she lightly bowed her head. “See you soon in the imperial...

Despite hardly resting on their way to the Empire, it still took Princess Luna’s group nearly a month to arrive at the imperial capital.
The City of Paradise – Capital of the Great Empire.
This city, protected by two massive walls, was seven times larger than the capital of the Kingdom of Lukas. The walls were fortified by magic artifacts, and an elite army numbering over a hundred thousand guarded the city. Home to over three millio...

The scouts rode their mounts until they reached the Old Sword Burial Grounds, a massive graveyard south of Volkheim. The place where the knights of the previous generations had been buried.
The scouts were expecting to see the graveyard ravaged by the demons, but to their surprise, it was practically untouched, as though no one had recently passed through the area.
The hundreds of headstones, made of gabbro, were well taken ca...

This was the number of territories destroyed by the demons within two weeks after the portal in Cattlewood Plains opened.
After taking over the City of Meredith, killing all of its inhabitants in the process, the demon army made a beeline for the City of Volkheim, the place where one of the two Magic Academies of the Empire and the Fifth Tower of Mages were located.

After flying at top speed for an hour, their group finally arrived at the Iron Mountains. As expected, flocks of sky demons and wyverns blocked their path.

After cutting off communication with Fior, Lark said to the beastmen in the Assembly Hall.

Van sprung up to his feet and shouted, “Wait! Let me come with you!”

The jaguar beastman, Kukri.
If there was one word to describe him, it would be the word ‘ordinary.’
He held no interest in battles and wars, and despite being a jaguar beastman, he did not have remarkable physical might. He did not have talent with the sword, and even his skills with the claws were subpar.
He was the very definition of mediocre, and the only remarkable thing about him was his speed, something all th...

As the ruler of the United Grakas Alliance, the Beast King had access to all kinds of herbs and medicines available in their nation. He’d tried numerous potions before, and he was certain that the potion King Lark had given him had effects comparable to the Life Elixir of the Goat Tribe.

After the demons retreated, under the command of Vaungur and the surviving officers of Talverton, the beastmen started fixing the stronghold’s defenses. They recovered the bodies of their dead comrades scattered about, and those who were injured were taken to the infirmary.
Although Lark had healed and cast protective spells on their bodies, the sheer number of demons caused numerous casual...

“You’re back.”
A jaguar beastman, whose upper body was covered in bandages, greeted the two rabbits the moment they entered the haven. A metallic collar, which identified him as a slave, was worn around his neck.
The jaguar beastman’s name was Kukri.

‘It’s too late to turn back now.’
When Lark saw the encirclement, he realized he no longer had a choice but to participate in this battle.
He judged that now was not the time to be conserving his mana. Although they would end up straying from their plan of immediately closing the portal due to this, he couldn’t afford to let the Beast King die here.

A species of demon that had gone nearly extinct over a millennium ago. They were as powerful as High Demons, and their intellect was on par with those of human scholars. Moreover, their physique enabled them to easily see through an entire region and grasp the flow of ...

“What’s… this?”
“They’re retreating?”
The beastmen that had been struggling to defend the Talverton Stronghold were stupefied upon seeing the demon army retreating to the Iron Mountains. Almost as though fleeing from their enemies, tens of thousands of demons started running back in the direction they came from.
Even the Fire Giants that had been pulverizing the stone towers turned back, groaned, and started walking toward the Iron Mountains.

Now that he’d taken a closer look, Lark realized that the gorilla beastman had similar features to the Commander of the Third Legion. The silver-black fur, the massive body, the grumpy-almost-scowling default expression. Without a doubt, he was the son of General Urkawi.

Each of the Royal Guards was massive, and they all wore iron helms, chain mails, and spaulders with iron straps and rivets. The majority held large spears, while there were those who held glaives in their hands.

Without losing momentum, the massive battle axe flew toward the seven-headed monster flying in the sky.
The attack of the Beast King was done mostly using brute force, making it hard for the Scylla, a creature highly sensitive to mana, to detect. Combined with the element of surprise, the Scylla failed to evade the attack on time.
The giant battle axe struck the Scylla’s belly, pierced its scales, and tore through its flesh....
