After the Black Lava Dukedom won the war with the Iron Dukedom, Diablo had disappeared for a period of time. He only reappeared when the Darkness Invasion came and had picked his weapon up to protect his nation.
However, in the few months that he had disappeared.
After following the clues he had collected over the years and relying on a few memory fragments from when he was young, he had finally found his hometown.
It was the East Sea Metropolis!
It wasn't a nation, but a neutral territory located west of the Emerald Grand Duchy and east of the sea. It occupied an area comparable to that of a nation, but their real power wasn't weaker than that of a Grand Duchy. It was just that there were fewer residents in the East Sea Metropolis.
Other than the largest East Sea Metropolis, there were many other cities of various sizes, all of which were his private territory.
Diablo's family was considered as a powerful one in the East Sea Metropolis.
