“I, my mother is alive…?”
Clana’s trembling voice echoes through the dining room.
“Gee, that’s… is it real?”
“Yeah, it’s true.”
“…but, why? How?”
“First, calm down.”
“Gee, I can’t calm down.”
Ruby spoke to her in a soft voice, but Clana shook her head with tears in her eyes.
“Wow, it was a lifelong struggle. That’s how my mother died.”
“Hmm…”
“It became poisonous… The reason I was able to clench my teeth… It was all because of my mother’s tragic end…”
“I think it’s time to tell the bad news before it’s too late.”
After murmuring like that, she wept and bowed her head, and Ruby sighed and opened her mouth.
“Do you know the reason why you were always offered as a sacrifice for the Demon King’s Advent?”
“…yes?”
Then, Clana, who was crying, raised her head with a hardened expression on her face.
“It’s not that you were born with the blood of the imperial family. Rather, you were influenced by your maternal line.”
“What…?”
“Your mother and you were the highest level in the world as a medium for sacrifice.”
“……..”
“No matter how indifferent the emperor was, that was the reason your mother fell so absurdly.”
At those words, Clana was engulfed in cold anger.
“The moment your mother was framed and executed, her soul was extracted from her body.”
“Ugh…”
“And by that damn Empress Lumier, it was sold to the kingdom that offered the highest price.”
“…what is the basis?”
“The moment I rescued her from round 0, the auction was already taking place.”
When Clana, who was going all the way, asked that question, Ruby answered in a low voice.
“So… where was it sold?”
“…Whoa.”
Then, she quietly sighs in response to Clana’s question, who has crossed the threshold of anger and has truly begun to demonstrate the qualities of a king after a long time.
“There were quite a few competitors such as the Order, Count Justiano, Marquis Hailin, and the head of the Secret House…”
“Tell me the conclusion.”
“Cloud Kingdom.”
“okay.”
As soon as she heard the words that came out of Ruby’s mouth, she got up from her seat, breathing life all over her body.
“I’m going to erase the Cloud Kingdom from the map.”
“Calm down. To be precise, it was passed to the court wizard of the Cloud Kingdom.”
Ruby, who hastily grabbed Clana, puts her back in her seat and continues the story gently.
“The kingdom knew nothing. It was the arbitrariness of that swindler who was treated almost like the prime minister.”
“Then I’ll have to find that bastard and slaughter it.”
“Yeah, that’s up to you. But listen to me.”
“……..”
At Ruby’s earnest tone, Clana barely silences her anger and shuts her mouth.
“Your mother’s soul will be sacrificed during the Battle of the Academy.”
“…how do you know that?”
“Because the court wizard who cooperated with the Demon King’s army is going to activate the relics buried beneath the Cloud Kingdom.”
“………”
“…it has been experienced many times.”
Hearing that, Clana and Ruby’s eyes crossed for a moment.
“I have nothing to say. I’m really sorry…”
“You already know that you don’t have to apologize.”
When Ruby lowers her tail to apologize, Clana opens her mouth with dignity after a long time.
“You were the one who saved my mother in the first place. And it wasn’t your will.”
“but…”
“Let’s move on. If we try to figure things out between us now, it’s neither porridge nor rice.”
Ruby nodded her head with her eyes closed, and started speaking again.
“Anyway, the good news is, if you win this battle and stop the exhaustion of your soul… there is a possibility of resurrecting your mother.”
“…Then, the bad news?”
“The bad news is… the current demon lord is Aishi.”
“That’s… Why?”
At that, Clana tilted her head to the question, and Ruby answered with a dark expression on her face.
“During the last round of the battle, I… prevented the court wizard’s magic from being perfected.”
“Why?”
“When the artifacts buried under the kingdom are fully awakened, I’m in a lot of trouble.”
Having said that, Ruby sighed and looked at her.
“The reason why so many magic crystals were buried under the cloud kingdom in the first place was to contain all the relics.”
“Well…”
“And I’m not the aggressor in this siege, so maybe the artifact will be fully operational.”
“Then… The bad news is that the difficulty of this Siege is atrocious.”
Ruby, who quietly nodded at Clana’s words, answered in a calm voice.
“More than anyone… I thought I should tell you first.”
“…Then, is there no hope?”
“Hmm. Well.”
When Clana asked with a worried expression, Ruby slightly relaxed her expression and opened her mouth.
“Isn’t Frey with me? It’ll be alright.”
“But…”
“And, there’s that guy who hasn’t awakened yet.”
Then she turned her gaze to Irina, who was sneaking out of the exit, and muttered, and Irina turned her gaze aside with a surprised expression on her face.
“Now it’s your turn, Irina.”
“…so, if I’m not human, what am I?”
Then, when she asked a question in a low voice with a pounding heart, Ruby got up from her seat with a sly smile.
“Irina, you are…”
A cold sweat began to trickle down Irina’s forehead as she listened to her.

Meanwhile, a few hours before that, under the Cloud Kingdom.
“Heh heh…”
“Uh, uh… Ugh…”
Deep underground, where there was no light, Aishi and a man were walking.
“…are you cold?”
“Oh, no!”
Aishi, who was walking with her back behind her back, turns her head and asks a question while her eyes are bright blue, and the man who follows her with her head bowed quickly shakes her head.
“It’s strange. Court wizard. You must have hated the cold very much…”
“No, it’s not! It’s not cold at all!”
“…then it’s difficult.”
“Yes, yes?”
A court wizard who was taken out of the frozen prison of the Cloud Kingdom by Aishi.
He shakes his head urgently as he runs into a runny nose in the cold air that she exhales, but when Aishi suddenly changes color, he steps backwards with a frightened expression.
“Obviously, in this girl’s memory… it says that you hate the cold.”
“…..?”
“So, whenever you’re joking around, you must have used freezing magic every time?”
“Well, that’s…”
Then, the magician who made a bewildered expression for a moment at the words that did not understand the meaning of Aishi.
“…Is my memory wrong? If so, that’s a pretty big problem.”
“uh…”
“Or are you lying?”
“……!”
Then, as a spear of ice surrounded him, he began to tremble with a look of terror.
“If that’s true… it’s a matter of several times bigger.”
“I, my senses must have been broken for a while!! It’s cold!! It’s so cold!!!”
As the ice spear of Aishi, which had been spinning around him, brushed past his side, the wizard screamed with an urgent expression.
“…Puch.”
Then, Aishi covered her mouth and smirked while whispering in a low voice.
“It’s a joke.”
After leaving those words, she hastened her steps again, and the wizard, who sighed and grabbed his trembling chest, noticed the ground and began to move again.
“It’s more fun to participate than to watch.”
“I, Ma… Demon Lord. Arrived.”
“Hmm, I guess this is the entrance to the relic.”
“…Yes, yes.”
Aishi and the wizard were walking for such a long time. Then, when they came to a dead end, they stopped walking and started talking.
“So, what is the power of an ancient artifact that you can wield?”
“Oh, it’s simple. If you draw a magic circle I designed on this artifact and give your soul… you’ll get control of the artifact.”
“Hmm.”
“Wow, I don’t know what’s inside, but… I’m sure I can control the ancient magic of all continents. Ah, maybe the Academy’s ancient magic…”
“That’s funny.”
“…Yes, yes?”
Aishi, who was listening to the wizard, snorted and moved, and the wizard tilted his head.
“To use this place… just to control ancient magic.”
“Hey, do you know what this place is?”
“I know.”
Having said that, she shakes her hand off the sign that had been covered in dust and mold marks and smiles.
[Cloud Server Management Office]
“You know it all too well.”
At the same time, a window appeared in front of her.
[caution! You do not have permission!]
“It’s well hidden in a place like this. A special space separated from this world. If the management system had a script or a drawing, I would have found it right away. It’s annoying anyway.”
“Ma, Demon King…?”
“Cloud… Did you say storage? Anyway, I heard that the name of the kingdom has something to do with it. I can’t think of it.”
Aishi, who was muttering while looking at the window, smiled and stretched out her hand.
[warning! Abnormal approach!]
[warning! abnormal…]
[warning!]
[kyung….]
“Yes, yes…?”
“Okay, you don’t need to know.”
[Permission check completed]
[Open the entrance]
“I just need to activate the forgotten magic circle that I accidentally got.”
Saying that, Aishi, who looked at the huge open space, immediately opened her mouth with a creepy smile.
“Since the system can’t detect it, it’s clear that the hero is dead, but the hero here is still there.”
“Hey, hey, hey…!”
“You idiot who was jealous of the sun, the cowardly leader of a corrupt religion, the fallen and cast out father of the moon, and the armies of a race who thought they were demons. My servants. Can you see it?”
An unbelievable scene unfolds in her vision, which has dyed her blue eyes black.
[User database storage]
“The hero will destroy the empire that abandoned the hero, and darkness will come at the end.”
Bodies that looked just like the first hero Hanbyul, with their eyes closed, were packed in a huge space.
“…Let’s start an all-out war soon.”
She stretched out the disgusting tentacles summoned from all directions to those bodies, and whispered like that.
.

“”………””
A few hours later, Sunrise Academy was completely isolated by ancient magic.
“We… really can’t even get out of here…?”
“No… I don’t want to die…”
“Ahhh… ahhh…”
The students, weary of the unheard of good news, sat down around the barrier created by the barrier and muttered in despairing voices.
“Eh, ah… No way. Ooh, it looks like we’re all going to die… Can we help?”
“I, I am the eldest son of a marquise. Woman, I will die here…”
“Boo, you’ll definitely show up. Yeah, you’ll definitely show up…”
Among such children, there were still those who still denied their situation and murmured like that.
“Well…is there any hope?”
“No, that’s right. Ah, there’s no guarantee that the hero is dead yet…”
And it was the same with the Task Force, which was pitching a tent outside the boundaries of the Academy.
“Yo, a hero is a good man, right? So, if you are in a crisis situation… you will definitely come back.”
“No, that’s right. Because that’s a hero…”
“Wait, you won’t turn away from us…?”
The students and the task force dispatched to the academy were all talking the same thing.
It was also because there were still quite a few people who had hope that the hero would save everyone.
It was also because those who had the opposite opinion or knew the truth were all in despair and kept their mouths shut or in panic.
“Warrior…”
“Now… what do we do…?”
The Brave Party, staring blankly at some academy students filled with vain hopes, was one of them.
– Jijik… Jijik…
“”……..?””
As time went on and on with people’s thoughts so sharply divided, an event that shook them all occurred.
– The people of the Sunrise Empire. Are you all doing well?
It was because Aishi’s voice with a creepy smile resounded throughout the Empire and the Academy.
– No big deal, I just landed in the Sunrise Empire. to let you know that
The moment her words raised the empire, the secrets that started pouring out on the task force committee.
“The demon king army has landed on the southern coast!! The number is uncountable!!”
“The demons who were hiding all over the Empire are coming out all at once!! The Imperial Army alone cannot stop them all!!”
“The church, the remnants of the denomination have landed on the west coast!! At the same time, the forces presumed to be fanatics occupied the coastal towns…”
“The cardinal and the first officer of the Order, who were imprisoned in the dungeon, have escaped! Some of the heinous criminals do the same…!”
“The back alley has been occupied by a mysterious force!! There are reports of strange tattoos on the bodies of enemies wearing black hoods!”
“Beautiful, the erosion that filled the northern border is rapidly descending into the Imperial capital. And… the breaking news is that the sun is getting darker.”
The faces of the people who were getting tired of the news of the informants who came all at once with pale expressions on the tent, hardened when they heard the last words of the informants who came in.
“West, it’s intelligence from all over the western continent…”
“…Dragons scattered all over the western continent are said to have been flying to the Empire.”
“De, an ultimatum from the leader of the dragons… to abandon the academy…”
Upon hearing the news that the head of the dragons, who had a dreadful majesty to the point of not attending the monarch meeting despite the oath, issued an ultimatum, the tent of the task force immediately became a house of portraits.
– This is too easy, so I’m rather worried… At this point, I thought that the hero would go all-out.
As if ridiculing them, a voice mixed with Aishi’s laughter resounded throughout the empire.
– The hero who will oppose me will be well received and will be well, right?
“”………””
– Well, it’s your only hope… It would be strange to be treated badly. Whoops, whoops…
After that, when Aishi’s voice, which had been laughing for a while, subsided, there was a frighteningly long silence throughout the empire.
“Yo, we need to find the hero…”
In such a situation, Princess Limia opened her mouth inside the tent with a terrified expression on her face.
“By the way, we need to mobilize the whole country… to search and search.”
“……..”
“Then, after that… even if you get down on your knees… No, it’s okay to lie down on your stomach with your stomach on the floor…”
Then she ends the conversation with a crawling voice, looking around at people who are lost.
“Gee, even now, I have to sincerely apologize… and bring him back…”
But, except for her, most of the people of the Empire had one scene in mind at that time.
“Hey, everyone?”
Frey, who had a very tired and dark expression on his face, declared that he would leave the empire and spend the rest of his life in the valleys of the eastern continent as everyone wished.
“Are you here…?”
The silence of the people of the Empire continued for a long time after that.
.
.
.
.
.
“…Hey, so what am I?”
Meanwhile, at that time, a hut on the shore.
“You have to realize it yourself. I’ve thought about it, otherwise it doesn’t seem to make any sense.”
“……?”
Thanks to Ruby who shut her mouth while not speaking, Irina tilted her head with a confused expression.
‘You lizard guy.’
Ruby started to smile meaningfully while looking at Irina like that.
“Tell me! Shit!”
‘That too, the strongest lizard guy in the world.’
“Hey! I’m in a hurry!”
‘It’s a common term among demons, but, after all, a lizard is a lizard.’
“…what really.”
‘Is Bingryong, who pretended to be an ice witch a thousand years ago, a characteristic of his race to be arrogant and rude.’
“f*ck.”
‘It’s like a naughty little lizard.’
She continued to smile at Irina, who was getting angry, and muttered that inside.
