Suddenly a dazzling light appeared from the thin air in front of Oz. Following the beautiful light, countless blue particles gather and slowly merging, making a new form.
âL-looks like Iâve struck quite the great treasure here,â (Demon Oz)
**********************************************************
âEMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!â
âEMERGENCY! EVERYONE PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!â
The voice of the imperial guards of the Tarotâs capital sounded across the walls. Fedra thatâs looking at the continentâs map while thinking some things hears the calls and went outside his base.
âWhat happen!?â (Fedra)
Fedraâs shout is filled with power and firmness, the panicking imperial guards immediately calm down looking at his supreme generalâs calmness and prowess.
âS-s-s-supreme general! A dragon is flying on his way towards the capital! Itâs not a lesser dragon but a real dragon! Please follow me, sir!â The imperial guard said.
The imperial soldier leads Fedra to the top of the walls and pointed his finger to the shadow at the distance that keeps on getting larger.
âIndeed⦠Ring the bells! Everyone prepare for battle! Send one person to ask Ibra to prepare as well!!!â Fedraâs command resounded across the base, the imperial guards and imperial soldiers are all well-trained, everyone immediately took their position and waited for the next command.
Fedra observes the dragon calmly while gripping his ax with full force.
âFedra! Iâm here! Is it true that a dragon is going to attack our capital!?â The just-arrived Ibra asked Fedra as he runs together with the imperial knights on his back.
âYea, look there Ibra,â Fedra said with a firm expression.
âMerlinâs beard⦠I never fought a dragon beforeâ¦â Ibra muttered.
âYea,â (Fedra)
ââI wonder how strong it is,ââ (Fedra and Ibra)
âHmph! You never changed, huh?â Ibra said with a broad smile.
âYou too, Ibra! Letâs have a couple of booze after this fight,â (Fedra)
But when Ibra and Fedra had prepared themselves to fight, a huge voice filled with power suddenly sounded.
âI have a message from my master, he said âCalm down, Fedra, Ibra, itâs me,â A deep and powerful voice sounded.
!!!!!?????
âY-your majesty?â Fedra muttered as he saw the figure that is standing on top of the huge and mighty black dragon.
âThat⦠Thatâs his majesty!â (Ibra)
Hearing Fedra and Ibraâs mutters, the imperial soldiers, guards, and knights started to get excited.
âThatâs The emperor!?â
âThatâs the emperorâs demon king clone!!!â
âThe emperor is on top of the dragon!?â
âThe emperor had tamed a huge and mighty dragon!!!â
The imperial guards, soldiers, and knights shout and cheer for the mighty emperor.
âIâll explain to you guys later! I need to go to the under-construction imperial castle!â Demon Oz shouted.
Atlas fly through the walls until they arrive above the under-construction imperial castle.
âAtlas, Iâll go down here, Iâll call you again when I need you, you may go sightseeing,â (Demon Oz)
âOkay, thanks, master,â (Atlas)
Demon Oz landed at the ground smoothly in front of the grand imperial palace. But when Demon Oz finally realizes how big of a scale the construction of the imperial palace is, he couldnât help but have a bitter smile on his face.
(No wonder even though the skeletons work non-stop but the construction still need another 3 months) (Demon Oz)
âOkay letâs focus on this first,â Demon Oz stares at the half-complete huge grand imperial castle for a moment and muttered to himself.
The grand imperial castle is designed to have a lot of functions. The size of the grand imperial castle is five times bigger than any royal castle. Demon Ozâs destination is the empire treasury. The treasury is one of the facilities that almost finished constructed.
âIâve arrived, time to put the prize,â Oz muttered as he took out a card and put it at the ground.
âSummon [Dungeon Core]â (Demon Oz)
Dazzling blue light suddenly shone, enveloping the whole capital with a dazzling light that gives the magical feeling.
Suddenly a floating board appeared before Demon Oz with some examples of a dungeon like a graveyard, a tomb, etc. But Demon Oz already had a mind of what dungeon heâs going to make with the dungeon core.
âAn empire,â (Demon Oz)
A loud voice that sounded lifeless suddenly appeared at the skies above the Tarot empire.
(T-the promptâs sounded not inside my head!?)
Suddenly countless blue particles covered the whole magical forest of Everdeen. Rubbles, woods, stones, and all material buildings got covered by the blue particles and flew to all sides.
The huge wall of the imperial capital, goblin royal capital, and other kingdomâs capital got covered by the blue particles. All buildings slowly got covered by the blue particles and slowly changing.
The blue particles enveloped the imperial castle and forming a huge and grand castle, the materials slowly floated and stuck together, countless beautiful runes suddenly formed at all of the pillars by itself. The people of the Tarot empire watched the scene with opened-mouth while getting shocked by the buildings that beautifully formed by itself. As if the gods are building the empire for them.
âEh? Wait,â (Demon Oz)
***************************************************
In the middle of the magic academy special class.
*Sound of something fell*
âââRen!âââ
Oz suddenly fell and fainted in the middle of the training.
****************************************************
âSister Elena! Where are you!?â Nashâs voice sounded.
âIâm here, Nash! In the kitchen!!â Elena answered Nash with a helpless smile that appeared on her face. Itâs been a while, Nash will always check on Elena whenever he didnât see Elena for a while, heâs afraid that Elena will disappear and go like Oz too.
âWhat, Nash? Iâm not going anywhere. Iâm making the pie Ren taught me before, Iâm thinking of trying his recipe,â Elena said tenderly.
âHm? Iâm not thinking that youâll go anywhere~ Itâs just Iâm afraid you will get kidnapped by a shadow monster or something~â Nash said adorably.
âA pie? Sister Elena is making a pie?? Yeaay! Iâll go tell the others!!â Nash get out of the kitchen and suddenly a loud sound of footsteps sounded.
âGeez, donât run Nash!! Youâll fell!!â Shouted Elena. She doesnât want Nash to fall and cry like he usually does years before.
âBut well, he never cries again since Ren left, huh, that guy, where is he, he never contacted me againâ¦â Elenaâs expression suddenly changed to an annoyed one as she stared at the ring Oz gave her before he went to the magic academy.
Elena closes her eyes and pours her consciousness to the ring.
âRen? Do you hear me? Mr. Orc Ren?â Elena mutters softly as she didnât want anyone to see or hear her calling out Ozâs name while holding to the ring Oz gave her.
âHmph! He usually contacts me once a week! Why does he didnât contact me again even though itâs been 2 weeks! Even though the orc card he gave me suddenly summon an orc that turns out to be Renâs clone and shocked me a lot! But the card and the orc clone suddenly disappears! And now I could only communicate with me from the ring!â Elena muttered angrily as she hits the ring to the ground and then gently stroke it hoping Ozâs voice will appear.
âSister Elena?â Nashâs voice suddenly appeared behind her.
âKYAA!!!â Elena shouted because of surprise and the ring sheâs holding got thrown making the sound of a falling ring.
âW-w-w-w-w-what are you doing here, Nash!?â Elena asked in a panic.
âHm? I just want to tell you that Iâve told the others. Why are you so surprised? Arenât sister Elenaâs the one who told me not to run?â Nash said innocently.
âW-well thatâs trueâ¦â (Elena)
âHm? Thatâs⦠Isnât that the ring big brother Ren gave to sister Elena? Oh~ I understanddd~â Nashâs expression suddenly changed to an expression of a child that ready to do mischief.
âNash⦠What are you thinking?â Elena asked Nash while feeling nervous. Elena slowly moved towards Nash preparing to catch him in case heâll do something stupid.
But Nash also had grown stronger, Nash swiftly run and escape from the kitchen while shouting.
âI HAVE A NEWS~~~â (Nash)
âNASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!â (Elena)
