Amaru Continent, capital of the Kingdom.
In the garden two women were chatting quietly while playing chess, these women, one of them had nine foxtails and the other had dragon horns and a dragon tail, needless to say, these women were Elizabeth and Damaris.
"So they've run out of patience..."
"Hehe it's just like I said"
They both smiled upon hearing the report about the country of the Angels, the Heavenly Slaughter army, the Van Pantohime Army, and the Seymur had been stationed in their country for 4 years and such overwhelming armies have generated discord in the population of Angels, causing a rupture and have taken Gabriel's government to the limit.
Four years ago when Gabriel revealed the existence of a sub-race, Damaris, Elizabeth and Margareth did not believe him, it was too much of a coincidence for such a statement.
Even so, they did not expose their lies and continued to be ignorant, without a war finding Arthur would been easier and they made quite severe requests in the country of the Angels.
They had applied the Trojan Horse strategy, where Gabriel allowed the army of another country to invade their lands, he did not know what tricks the Angels had and they were not willing to spill the blood of their people on foreign land, at the same time they had to take care the back of the Demons, since this race is not vegetarian and would take advantage of its position as a Fisherman and take all the benefits of this war.
Damaris knew that it would be a matter of time before Gabriel's government collapsed due to public opinion and the fear of the inhabitants.
They had not sacrificed a single soldier and cornered Gabriel, likewise, this was also Alyssa's credit in sowing discord, also Phenelope's work, since being one of the most powerful merchant families in the World, the amount of resources they manage every day is astronomical and its influence in the central continent as the largest supplier is very strong, because of that the export and goods in the Country of the Angels suffered a severe blow to the economy, due to the treaty Gabriel could not stop Phenelope, otherwise, the soldiers stationed on their land will move against them, this has gradually caused an economic collapse.
Now they got it, the number of protesters in the Gabriel Palace has reached 10 million and there are more and more.
The request was very clear, the expulsion of the army they extracted and the replenishment of the basic basket.
Unfortunately, Gabriel could not violate the treaty and if the Angels army were to mobilize, Einherjer would be more than enough to destroy them at his base.
A single mistake on Gabriel's part and it will be completely devoured and the country of the Angels will fall into the flames of misery, now even if a war breaks out, the angels' chances of winning are at rock bottom, with their armies in her lands, Damaris would not need the support of the Demons and they can attack his capital.
Although the existence of the Fallen Angels was out of her expectations, it still did not affect the plan of these two women.
Gabriel surely didn't think too much about this when she agreed to these terms, even if I consider it by putting a time limit of ten years, still she was too naive, it's only been 4 years and her rule is at the limit.
This was a checkmate.
"Hmph! Those pesky white birds, they thought they could murder my people and not pay the price?"
As ruler of the most powerful race in the world, Damaris was not going to tolerate this humiliation where the Angels did what they wanted in her country.
If it wasn't for Margareth stopping her and Arthur still missing, she wouldn't hesitate to start a war...
"Everything is going well, except that my precious son is still missing..."
Although they have done everything they could and used this movement in the country of the Angels to avoid suspicion, Arthur still does not appear which has led Elizabeth to have insomnia.
She was very sorry, every night that she spent not being able to hug her only son, her heart tightened and a tear spilled from her eyes.
She was very worried...
Does her son eat well? Are you suffering?
Elizabeth didn't know it, but she was willing to do anything to get her son back.
"My son-in-law's life lamp is still on, that means he's still alive, and I've already regained control of the tattoo, once my son-in-law appears on the mainland I'll bring him back"
There are many ways to know that a person is still alive, for the nobles it is this Lamp of life, which registers the heartbeat and magical power of a person.
Although Arthur remains in a sealed space, the Lamp of Life is still lit, which was good news.
"Thank Her Majesty..."
"He's my Son-in-Law, which makes him a part of my Royal family, no need to thank..."
Lucifer's seal left on Arthur years ago broke which left Damaris Tattoo free again, which was good news, plus Arthur was destined to marry one of her daughters, he was considered a member of the Royal family.
"Master Margareth hasn't returned yet?"
"No, according to the latest report she has found clues about the Fallen Angels and now she is investigating them..."
"I understand..."
Gabriel's words that day could not be taken lightly, because if it is true then they must be eradicated, that is why Margareth decided to go out and track them down and eliminate them, as well as search for the whereabouts of her grandson.
It's a gigantic world and looking for a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
(Arthur, my boy... I miss you...)
Elizabeth's expression was indescribable right now, but she was very sorry to let him go that day.
-----------
Fortunately, Elizabeth didn't know it, but right now Arthur was in the most dangerous area of the Secret Kingdom, the Area of the Dead, otherwise it is possible that he suffered a heart attack...
"Mr. Elias, I don't want to be telling you this, but we are in serious trouble..."
"Huh?"
Thanks to Arthur's Divine Body, both of them were able to avoid the Ball of Death, but Arthur knew that this was only the beginning, the most dangerous monster in this Area of the dead had found them and was hunting them...
[Name: Wights or Hero of Death
Type: Undead
Attributes: Darkness, Death, ???
Rank: S+
Variant:???
Characteristics: A monster created by the Secret Kingdom.
Once a living being, a hero among his people, his soul and spirit were transformed by the energy of death and rose once more.
Extremely dangerous, it possesses a high resistance to holy energy and they also possess unknown attributes]
Just as the database said, these weren't ordinary Undead, they were the most dangerous of the most dangerous, unlike the other Undead, the Wights possess incredible perception, they can track their prey so quickly just a faint hint of life or even a scent, they possess high instincts from when they were alive and also their magical powers as their attributes, they are the only Undead who can also use martial arts and spells.
They are incredibly difficult to kill and have a high battle capacity, facing a Wight is worse than facing a whole pack of Scavengers.
And these moments, a Wight was hunting them, Arthur knows that this monster had noticed them and was waiting for the best moment to attack, it is not a monster that moves by instincts and has high intelligence.
"Uh..."
After hearing Arthur's explanation, a slight scream came out of Elias's mouth, he was terrified to the core by this monster, after all, according to Arthur's explanation, no matter what they do, once a Wight is hunting them, They only have two options, kill him or die as he won't stop for anything.
Arthur was chased for a whole month until he awakened an innate ability that helped him get rid of that monster, unfortunately, Elias didn't have Arthur's abilities and his destiny is to be hunted...
"Our options are limited, but because of our abilities, we can't kill him, it's impossible to do so, and the only thing we can do is move forward as fast as possible or go back and seal the portal..."
If this Monster managed to get out of this place, no human is being capable of stopping it, Transcendents of other races were required to do so and perhaps even a Cherub of the Archangels would have to intervene, its level of danger exceeds even its magical power, it was a monster irregular than of which only high-level dungeons and on deep floors appear.
"It's not too late to give up Mr. Elias, we can still return, I'm sure his family will be satisfied knowing that he did everything possible..."
There was nothing wrong with giving up, staying in this place was suicide, especially for someone like Elias whose magical power, technology, weapons, Innate abilities, and methods were far behind Arthur.
For a man, Elias could be considered the bravest of the human race just to set foot in this place, however hearing Arthur's words, Elias stopped trembling and clenched his teeth...
(Is it my destiny to give up? Is it all I can do?)
Elias knew it was very weak, just being exposed to the aura of death made him feel sick, but...
He didn't want to give up, he was suicidal and he knew it, however...
"I can't back down."
He sacrificed too much to give up, there was nothing for him in the world out there, he bet everything on this opportunity to bring his family back...
To give up now would be to trample on all his work and also the sacrifice his wife made for him, they would not deserve this...
Therefore...
"I must move forward, please... I beg you... Help me, I'll give you anything... I'll do anything... Help me. Please..."
Arthur was stunned, Elias had knelt in front of him...
Elias knew it, in front of him is the only hope, he didn't know why Arthur knew so much about this place, but he didn't care, Arthur was his hope and also the only one who could help him.
He knew that his request was crazy, Arthur is a boy and could be considered his son, but this boy is stronger than him and also wiser.
Although he knew that his request is considered suicide and could cost him the life of the child, he still said it, a man sometimes does crazy things for his loved ones and it is also the reason why they die before the wives. of the ...
"Arthur, let's go back... It's not worth it"
Arthur didn't say anything and contemplated the scene in front of him, likewise, Akagi's voice was heard.
Akagi was right, it was not worth facing such danger for a stranger and there was no need to risk it either, Arthur could survive without Elias, but the level of danger would increase by taking him with him, the best decision was to leave him and get out of this damn place. ..
But...
"If I wanted to abandon him, I wouldn't have brought him here"
Shaking his head Arthur sighed and Akagi frowned...
"Why Arthur? That human is nothing to you..."
"I don't want to leave him alone again..."
"Huh?"
That's right Arthur had found out now the reason for his anxiety and why he was so attached to this human...
(In my first life, I couldn't do anything for you and yet you did a lot for me without asking for anything in return, it was all for me that you never had the life you wanted, it's time to pay this debt...)
"Up Mr. Elias, there is no need to kneel, a real man does not kneel in front of anyone..."
Using his tails to lift him, Arthur's voice was very deep and Elias looked up.
"Liam..."
"Your request of him I accept, I swear on my name Arthur Van Pantohime that I will take it to the next level..."
The time for revenge had come, two years ago Arthur had no choice but to beat himself helplessly and flee like an insect through this Wight...
Now it's time to face it and erase all that humiliation and despair that had put him through...
