While Liatart is dealing with the Kellomen Devil and keeping the Army Commander and Captain busy, back at the Royal Pace in Bo Diss
Laora is now a little overwhelmed and has a slight headache about how to adjust her pn, now that the Unchosen One is in the picture. Sane Pier has informed Laora about his pn on the Maleverlem Empire before he arrives in the Supreme Nation
The Supreme Nation and the Merverlem Empire have come up with many pns on how to handle the Maleverlem Empire, but all keep bumping into the problem that they can't risk happening since the Maleverlem Empire is one of the major economies in the world, and an economic stall in the system can immediately trigger a crisis in world trade
The Merverlem Empire and the Supreme Nation did agree on a pn, but it was an extremely slow and extremely tedious process for the pn to show any effect and long term
The Pn is to cut off their dependence on the Maleverlem Empire's economy and services, encourage its allies to stop doing business with the empire, and create a barrier for the Maleverlem Empire from building any retion with its rival (Their Rival is the Redecan Empire)
Note: Here are the top 3 Worlds' Superpowers
Rank 1: The Merverlem Empire
Rank 2: The Redecan Empire
Rank 3: The Supreme Nation
While the Redecan Empire is working with all its might to overtake the Merverlem Empire as the number one power, the Merverlem Empire is working its all to keep its position as the number one power
Now Laora needs a new pn on how to handle the Maleverlem Empire; the more she keeps thinking, the more it becomes overwhelming. So she summoned the country's top officials to gather by tonight,
In the Supreme Nation, there are 10 Chancellor that always working in this big office room in the pace, where the Chancellor sits on the side of each chair. Laora the Empress and the highest authority of the nation sit in the middle of these highest ranking seat
These Chancellors are always working closely with Laora, they are tasking in review and coming up with solutions, and build effect pn, and presenting the final result to Laora for approval. If she rejects a revision is needed, but just because she rejects it, doesn't mean the Chancellor himself can't expin why he is making this decision, Laora will be sure to listen to them as well to discuss and find the best possible solution, and if it pn that are effect the nation wide or the world scale this office is the pce that will come up the decision
In a simple way, this chancellor is like an extra brain helping Laora think and resolve for the best possible outcome and effect. They are the people with some of the brilliant minds in the empire, with years of experience in their younger days; each of them is 50 to 70 years old, and Laora, with over 3000 years of experience, (she is the elder here despite looking much younger)
There are supposed to have total of 14 chancellor but 4 of them have already passed away, due to old age, for years Laora has this experiance so many time already since She immortal half god, half human and it is expected that soon or ter they will slowly leave her and the new generation will have to take their pce, she gone to all of their funeral even though it has become normal and most expected to her, every time it happen it keep on hitting her especially those build such a strong friendship with her, where they alway sitting casually and some very comfortable around her and Laora can just be unserious and chat about ramdom stuff with each other, a golden time right here
From this moment onward, Laora has to work extra hours with less sleep to create the best possible, effective, and extra pn as backup in case the first one doesn't work. She also invited a trusted ally to come and join her, but didn't say anything about the unchosen one
Back to Liatart, he just arrived in an underground path and immediately noticed that there was a sense of devil present here. He summoned the sword of bance and walked in this underground path with caution
As he was walking, the Kellomen suddenly appeared and tried to attack him from behind with lightning speed, but Liatart immediately reacted by instinct with his sword, almost slicing the devil's head. It may have missed the devil, but the ssh destroyed the underground path and blew it wide open to the surface
The devil still tries to attack him, but with every sword contact, the devil can feel this intense heaviness from the Liatart sword. A single ssh without dodging can ssh the devil cleanly
The battle between him and the devil keeps on going, causing a lot of damage in the city, which caught the attention of the young party and the Captain's army
They rush to the scene the moment they arrive there, and the devil immediately retreats, as he thought they were backup. However, before the devil was able to escape by deforming the space, Liatart immediately stopped the space deforming with his bare hand, and crushed the magic from working
Liatart grabbed his shoulder and punched him on his chest create an exploding force around the area, they capture him and chained him up.
Everyone returns to their camp. This devil is just the Kellomen Devil, one of many underling they, questioning this devil while the Liatart is outside waiting for the army captain to arrive. As he waits, the soldiers are whispering, asking everyone around them who the man dressed in white is waiting for their superior. No one really got a solid answer to this; only the captain himself knows him
The Captain arrived and noticed that his soldier is whispering around among themselves and asking who the man dressed in white was, he ignored them and went to Liatart
Army Captain: Greeting, her majesty has sent a messenger and informed me about you. Please come to my camp, I will fill you in on the details and what our next step
Army Captain: As you already known the devil has change it pn. Since the current city is now completely filled with the army and all the people evacuated, they are now unable to do anything much, especially since you are here too. They must have noticed your power, which is what convinced them to abandon their pn and move on to another for higher success
The nearby city, before we notice any change in their movement, they have already halfway to the nearby city, this wouldn't have been so difficult if we had the royal knight or the Knight of Highnder with us, right now?
But as of right now, my force doesn't have anyone that have such power to stop them, we are currently evacuating all of the residents. The fastest we can do is to be fully evacuated by midnight, but it's not fast enough
We need more time if they reach the city and the people are still there, they can use them as hotages because of that, we can't rush anything until we rescue the hostages first.
So our only hope now is you, Sir. Liatart Please save our city and the people
Liatart looked at him but didn't say anything, as he barely noticed any magical power from this captain
Army Captain: The way you're looking at me, you must have been curious about how I managed to get promoted to an army captain. I can understand that looks well because many have the similiar look to you when they have this curiosity. just like some in this profession. I am one of those small numbers of warriors out there who got promoted not because of our power on the battlefield, but because we were able to climb the ranks due to our skills as leaders
Her Majesty the Empress has very sharp eyes for recognizing potential and true talent
Liatart: That is something that can also be understood as well, I can already imagined what kind of extreme task you have to go through just to proof yourself to her.
Army Captain: It is, it took me 21 years of extreme training and graduated from a pretigious uinversity in main capital to get me here. however it is barely noticable compares to those with a higher rank than me. They are one with true strength with them, in all my life, I aspire to be like General Caster, but I am unable to climb to such a position due to my inability in magical power
Liatart walk pass him and said
Liatart: As long as you are still in the position, do what you're good at. I say you are talented in what you're good at
Army Captain: Mmm, it's easy to say, I don't really believe that I am, though. I'm happy to be at the highest level of normal human can reach
Liatart: Ask yourself again. Is it really that common
The Captain looks at Liatart back and is slightly shocked as he realizes that those with his kill in the army and a few of them in the university
Liatart: Depending on how you look right now, should answer all of it, and it is also proof that Empress Laora is still as sharp as she ever was. you truely are indeed one of the best. Do not discourage youself embrace, be proud of what you have, build a strong reputation with it, and you can walk anywhere you want to go
Liatart exits and walks outside. As he walks to leave the camp, he notices that the party of the young generation is arguing with a commander,
The Commander forbade them to go after the devil and let the army handle it instead, as it was too dangerous for young and inexperienced like them but they argue back and try to convice the commander to let them go.
Liatart tries to ignore them, but suddenly and messenger shouts from afar and asks Liatart to wait a bit as he needs to hand him a map and the current situation
The young party over Liatart's conversation with this messenger, and they grab their member arm and head to the Liatart. Commander after them, but they ignore him and beg Liatart to take them with him
Liatart standing silent and didn't say anything as they begging and the commander telling them to stop. Then the leader of this young party steps forward and introduces himself.
His name is Anderson, and he is the leader of this new young adventurer party
Anderson: Hello there, Sir. We are a Young party, we are from a major guild base and operate in the Capital of Sinisten
Note: Sinisten is the Second Capital of the Supreme Nation, and more on the Guild system ter, as it has its massive operation and association of its own country that they base in, but the Supreme Nation is the country that has the most successful Guild Industry due to the supreme nation has the highest record of Demon and devil appearances of any country in the world
The reason that the Supreme Nation has this record is because of Krismear, by the way will get into detail ter, Arc
Anderson is still in the entry level, and he has a total of 6 members, with 5 of them in rookie ranks, and Anderson himself is the strongest in the party, only a rank above them, the walker rank
Note: In the Guild Industry, they use 3 levels,
The Entry Level has 3 ranks
The Rookies Rank - The Beginner
The Walker Rank - Just got some experience, but has a long way to go
The Entering Rank - Enough Experience to enter a harsher environment
The Middle Level has 2 ranks
The Knight Rank - Task with an average-sized city threat
The General Rank - Early Professional
The Professional Level has 3 ranks
The Noble Rank - Major threat, near Elite Demon level
The Royal Rank - A Nationwide Crisis
The Anarch Rank (Reserve Rank) - The Most Exceptional of Exceptional
+ When a Nation are facing manpower shortages, these major association that operate these guilds can provide their services to fill the gaps, but it also depends on how well the country they operate in has a good retionship with this new client or not, it a rewarding industry but it came with it challenge they can see their shop got shut down tomorrow if the country they operate in found out they support their rival or enemy
Anderson asks Liatart to let his party go to him, but the commander rushes over and lectures them to stop bothering him, but they ignore him and walk away. Anderson and his party felt a little frustrated when the commander told them to go back to camp. Then Liatart asks him from afar and looks back at them
Liatart: What are you doing? You're not walking
Anderson and his party are surprised but immediately ignore the commander and go with Liatart. The commander shouts and tells them to come back
Once they reach Liatart, suddenly space itself stretches forward, and now they are 5 km away from the camp. The commander questions himself about what he just saw. Liatart stretches space over 20 times to catch up to the Devil
The Devil noticed Liatart and decided to split Hison himself, who will continue to the next city, while the 3 remaining Devils will fight Liatart
Liatart tells the young party to go after the devil. And he will deal with the 3 Devils, the young party leaves
Liatart summons his sword, and immediately he can feel a slight pain in his ring finger, the ring that Krismear merge it with deep into his soul
Since the ring has awaken he to think of something deep, and it confirms this ring is the same pair of rings that he had in his library, it is not only able to keep the record of his every move, but also able to know what he thinks, his behavior, his way of think, did he feel pain, happy, sad, depress, actractive to, hate and love
With this ring now on his finger, Liatart is trapped. The ring has merged itself with the soul, even if died reborn again, repce body, change universe, it is unremovable as long as he still exists in this existence, he will never be able to escape from Krismear's Hand
She will always be watching, listening, and so close to him
Since the Sword of Bance is triggering the awakening of the ring, Liatart decided to change his pn there are something he wanted to try again; he summon A Spear this spear is holding the soul of the Ice Queen Karolina
The Ice Queen Karolina has been sleeping in his library for so long, so let's refresh the good old time
Once the Spear is fully summon The whole area is immediately covered in ice. The devil stops and feels this intense, powerful aura from Liatart, realizes that they are no match, they decide to go all out at the start, unleash their full power, and charge straight at Liatart, but almost immediately, Liatart reaches them first and Free
They managed to break the ice and then continue to fly around all over the pce, but Liatart was able to free each of them with ease, and no matter how fast they go, they keep getting frozen by Liatart
And it keeps going for about an hour realize as Liatart keeps using the Karolira power, suddenly it trigger a event
The awakening of one of his sealed-away powers has met the right situation to be able to use it again
He felt the relief as his power slowly returned. The fight with the 3 devils is still ongoing as he prepares to use this returning power. The Ring penetrated a root into Liatart's arm as it noticed that Liatart had regained his power back
Then Before Liatart was able to notice the pain of this root, The Ring already grew a thorn from the inside out of his arm and kept growing its root, wrapping around his arm tightly. Liatart fell to his knees
The Devil suddenly hears Liatart's horrifying scream in agony, his arm bleeding uncontrolbly, his eyes are tearing up, and the pain is too unbearable. Liatart tries to grab the Thorn that was created by the ring and tries to pull it out of his arm. he fail, then he grabs the root that wraps around his arm instead, and he tries to remove it from his arm. but Suddenly, Liatart stopped moving. His scream is gone, and everything went silent,
The Ring's root reaches his brain render him no longer able to control his body anymore
The Devil sees an opportunity, but then the Great Dark appears out of nowhere
The Devil sees him and knows who the Great Dark is. Immediately, they are horrified and try to run away, but the great dark is already on top of them, and he punches through their chest and crushes their heart
The Great Dark: Just because Supreme Hecton granted your kind some mercy, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Consider this their punishment
The great dark go back to Liatart, and he sees his lifeless body, his eyes, his lips, and his whole face have turned pale. Liatart's body has stop funtioning
The Great Dark: So much for being one of the strongest in this world. Look at you are weaker than a mere demon parasite
The Ring continues to penetrate deep into Liatart's soul and find the power that he just awakened, and destroy the progress that Liatart has been making to awaken this power. It is still within him, but he can no longer use it now. Liatart has to start over to awaken it again
Once it confirms the progress has been destroy the ring releases Liatart, and the root slowly shrinks itself back to the ring
The Great Dark takes out a high-grade healing potion and pours it over Liatart's body
Meanwhile, Hison Manar has already arrived in the city, and the young Party has also arrived at the Same time. Anderson draws his sword, and his party join and they try to fight Hison Manar,
But Hison is able to blow them away by swinging his arm, the young party scatters their members around the area and hides around the building, and tries to attack from his blind spot. Anderson just used his magic to distract Hison and his two party members, Jone and Han. The warrior in the party jumped as high as they could and tried to attack Hison from behind, but were blown away by Hison releasing his aura
Then an army commander and captain arrived, they jumped in and fought Hison
Liatart woke up, and he immediately checked his arm; it had returned to normal. He stands up and sees The Great Dark
The Great Dark asks him if he is alright, but Liatart grabs his spear and points it at the Great Dark
The Great Dark: Look, I am not looking for a fight. I just do what I have to do. Well, even if we do fight, you will die, Liatart. You can't defeat me, and you know it
Liatart looks at him in the eye and walks away. He is heading to the city
One Liatart arrives, Hison has already transformed to his full Devil form, and the Commander and the Captain are heavily injure Anderson's party is also heavily injured.
Anderson is seriously bleeding, as Hison approaches, Liatart appears. Anderson saw Liatart, and he was relieved as help had arrived, but Liatart grabbed his shoulder and woke him up, healing his body and everyone
Anderson is confused and asks Liatart. He replies by telling Anderson to go and fight Hison, and he will assist him
Anderson: What do you mean that thing is too much for him? I am just a beginner, how am I able to do
Liatart: I will assist you, you youngsters are the backbone and the future of this nation, and this will be your first experience of facing the actual devil. If you wait until you're good enough, it will be another 10 years or so. Better enter into hell now, or you will never get to where you want to go
Anderson takes Liatart's word into heart and stands strong, ready to attack. Liatart touches his back, and Hison observes them. Liatart pushes Anderson and tells him to chart. Hison runs toward Anderson.
Anderson is unable to react due to Hison's lightning-fast speed, but Liatart appears out of nowhere and punches Hison in the face, giving Anderson an opening, and he sshes Hison with his sword.
Anderson's first attack on the actual devil. it felt so different from any weak monster that he ever attacked before, it was so unreal, a new enviroments different feeling, and an actual battle with true intensity. Anderson speaks to himself, "So this is how the Middle Level and Professional Level felt and experienced with their assignment."
It felt like a new world to him, and it was all thanks to a random old man whom he just met
Hison attacked again and tried to kill Anderson, but Liatart redirected his fist, Hison missed Anderson, and Anderson got another opening, and he sshed Hison's shoulder
Hison attacked him again, and Liatart stabbed Hison's arm, and Anderson sshed Hison's chest. Liatart punches Hison in the face crush to the ground
Hison stands up instantly and sees Anderson standing ready for his next attack, and Liatart stands behind Anderson to support Hison, grinding his teeth in frustration
Hison talk in his own mind, "Is our effort for nothing? Is our effort meaning I will let their death be vain, I will secure a pce for all of us?"
Hison concentrates his magic into his fist and intends to destroy the whole city, but Liatart notices it, Liatart cuts off Hison's arm, and another powerful punch in gut sends Hison flying
Hison speaks in his own mind, "No, No, Please, this is not what we die for."
Hison and his fellow devil were ruled by the Supreme Demon's high-ranking member, A Tyrant that try to make the devil kind into a mindless soldider, since the Death of their King they have been treated as sves and experimental material to create the strongest devil
Hison Manar and 40 other fellow devils managed to escape this nightmarish pce in the underworld, but 30 of his fellow devil has to stay behind to fight the ten thousand of The Tyrants' minions
They died, and as they were being consumed alive, they shouted at Hison to run to the middle realm
Once he and 9 other fellow devils arrived in the middle realm, they kept running into human and the human notice that they are the devil, the strong started to hunt them
Less than a day, a general and a party of adventurers with Middle Level. Come and try to hunt them down. They manage to defeat them and kill them, but some humans are just too much for them to fight. Then, about a few months ter, A Noble Rank adventurers are actively looking to hunt them down,
A Knight Rank and General Rank are already challenging Hison almost to his limit, and fighting a Noble Rank, it will be a 50-50 chance of winning. Their life is only getting even more difficult as time passes, the more fights they get into, more and more of his fellow devils die in order to make an opening for Hison and the remaining devil to escape and continue on living
and now he is currently fighting against someone with an Anarch Rank or worse, and a kid assisting him,
Liatart Tell Anderson to jump onto his hand, he will throw Anderson to Hison in the air
Hison speaks to himself, "This world and universe are extremely unfair."
Anderson stabbed Hison in his chest. Hison shouted, "No."
As Anderson stabbed Hison in the air, a small bck hole opened and took Hison away,
Liatart: this Power
