John was observing the map via the projection on the war table. He was on the roof of the keep inside the mobile fortress. The war tables from the other countries were also there, including Sangrod's one. Country leaders and guild leaders were there with him. "Judging from our speed, we should arrive at World Throne in half a day," Horatio said. He was standing next to John and was also observing the map projection. "That's right," John said. "We will stop right in front of their headquarters and…-

"What… What kind of demon is that? It is as big as a true dragon…," Soundeffect asked. Everyone could hear the shiver in his voice. The others didn't voice their opinion but they felt the same way as Soundeffect. Aside from Master and Mistress, the others didn't know who the gigantic hand hanging on the portal belonged to. "That is one of the seven devils. A king of hell that rules the underworld," Mistress told them. The hand didn't stay still for long. It was pushing itself out. Those who…

"Sto–Stop…!" One of the ethereal mages who maintained the rune diagram shouted at Master who was approaching. Without stopping his control over the rune diagram, he saw the horror that transpired. His brethren were slain one by one. Yet, he couldn't let go of his duty. If he did, the sealing dome would be unraveled. His comrades maintaining the rune diagram had the same feeling as him. He now watched as the last of the defenders fell, and one of the invaders walked toward them. Master had…

As Master led them into the cave, Sizhad asked, "You took us here expecting a battle, didn't you? Who will we be facing? The demons?" As a general, Sizhad preferred to know beforehand what they were up against. He had heard the area around an underworld portal would be infested by the underworld demons. "No. We will be facing the natives who were sealing the portal. They won't let us near the portal willingly," Master answered. "My lord used to be this country's sovereign. Can't they just let us…

Master took his squad to a land near their headquarters that was populated by thin but tall mountains. Flowing around the base of these thin mountains were rivers of lava. If Jack saw the place, he would remember it from the first time he set foot in Liguritudum. That would be the time when he was captured by Master. The Heaven-piercing Tower where Jack was held was not far from this place. Master and his squad were now heading to one of the mountains. "What are we doing here?" Mistress asked. She…

"Oh? What do you mean? I think she is nice," Peniel said. "I feel comfortable around her." "I can't sense any mana from her," Domon said. "Really? Well, my mana sense is not as developed as you, outworlders, so I can't tell," Peniel said. "It's not only mana sense, even my mana perception can't see her mana. It is as if a veil is surrounding her," Grace added. "I think I know who she is." "Who she is? Isn't she one of our guild members?" Domon asked. "She is more than our guild member. I know…

After the two left, John signaled the Allied forces to depart. Without Jack's runestone of marching, it should take these armies around five days to arrive at World Throne. He also sent a message to Water Lily, who was now the commander of the Allied navies. They only lost a few ships during the battle against the frogman pirates, so their armada was still imposing. These ships now sailed out of the lake into the large river that branched to all over the country. Similar to Heavenly Citadel, World…

At noon the second day after the Allied forces defeated the Liguritudum army, John was on the mobile fortress overlooking the combined armies. They were ready to depart. He just had a meeting inside this mobile fortress with the country leaders and guild leaders to coordinate their march. These leaders went back to their respective groups to carry out the arrangements. John saw Grace fly over. "He is not yet awake?" John asked after Grace landed. Grace shook her head. "I will be staying here with…

"Nothing much. Just that I apparently have a brother," John answered. Linda frowned. She said, "Don't tell this to anyone. Master warned me that if anyone else knows about Jonn, I will never see him again." "Not my problem. Considering you ditched me and Diana. I don't see why I should protect your favorite child," John said. "I'm sorry. Please! I beg you. I left because I couldn't stand all the pressures of having to be a perfect mom. Not a single day that I don't think of you and your…

Linda just stared at John in silence. "Okay, then," John said. He lifted the Mind Breaker to put it on her head. "Wait! No need to use that thing! He is at World Throne," Linda exclaimed. "Hm…," John looked at the Mind Breaker. He wasn't expecting such a reaction from his mother. "What is he doing there?" John asked. "He should already know that we will be coming for him. He couldn't be hoping to face our armies with only his puny guild army now, could he?" "I don't know. I didn't plan for us…
