In the neighboring city of Astraea, there is a cave that has an aura of a sinister deep in the forest. Inside of the cave is a horde of demons and in the Highest place are 3 bulky creatures.
The bulkiest one is sitting on a throne. He had golden eyes, purple skin, 2 golden horns on his forehead, and has a massive wing on his back. The other two are standing on his left and right side as they look down at the horde of demons.
"Young majesty, we are now ready," said the demon on the left
"It's time to take the first city of a Kingdom," said the demon on the right
"hmm, it is time to collect some soul to retake my strength and according to my calculation if I collect 1 million souls I will be able to reach the highest magic cultivation in this lower realm and ascend to that place again and have my revenge" said by the golden-eyed demon with a glint in his eyes
"Proceed the invasion and collect lots of souls as much as you can!" commanded by the Golden eyed demon
"Yes your majesty"

Shinichi, Reina, and Esri are now on their way to return to the City of Astraea. It's been 2 months since they take the mission in the guild, they are too focused on training that they have forgotten the time.
Shinichi can now fly properly using his Crimson Flame Wings and also Reina but her wings are color blue. Esri on the other hand can now use sword Qi properly and almost has the aura as Shinichi.
Elly now also has a change in her body size, She is now as big as the matured horse and achieves the first stage of a magus. They are shocked when they found out because all she needed to do is sleep and the fire energy in the surrounding will absorb by Elly's body on its own.
The tree of them is flying. Esri is on Elly's back while Shinichi and Reina are holding hands as they fly side by side to Elly. After 20 minutes of flying they now reach the City of Astraea, 1 hour on foot only takes 20 minutes by flying.
When the guards saw them, they were all shocked shitless because of the intimidating aura of Elly and the two-person flying on the side. They started to be alert, but when they saw Esri their alertness suddenly dropped.
"Elly, shrunk yourself because we will get lots of attention when we enter the city the way your size is." Said Shinichi
"Yesss~" replied Elly with a cheerful tone as she shrunk to the size of a parrot and went to Shinichi's right Shoulder
"Let's go straight to the Guild and report first," said Shinichi
They then went to the Adventurer's Guild. When they entered the Guild. they saw a worried expression of Kiara-san as She talk to one of the members of Esri and they turned to look at the three of them when they entered.
"Captain you finally returned," said the red-haired twin-tailed silver armored girl
"What happened Sarah?" Asked Esri
"Our scout saw a horde of demons are on the way to the city of Circe, and the guild in that city is asking for reinforcement to the other guilds" explained Kiara
"What? Demons?" said Shinichi in shock.
"Yes, demons are the enemies of humankind. They used humans as a source of their power, they are using black magic to devour souls and strengthened them" said Esri
"I see, does Kiara-san already send reinforcement?" asked Shinichi
"I was about to, but our top magic users are on the missions. They are requesting for Arch-Mage and Grand mages and we only have one available peak level Arch Mage right now" Said By Kiara
"I see, should we go then?" said Shinichi
"Are you not listening? I said we need Arch-Mage and Gra---" Kiara suddenly stopped as he looked closely at Shinichi
"Wh-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt!!!! An Arch-Mage! How is it possible you are not even in the Apprentice stage when we checked your stats and now you're an Arch Mage? And a peak level at that? IMPOSSIBLE!" said Kiara dumbfounded beyond disbelief
"Whaaaaat?!" Sarah shouted in shock too
"Well, I have encountered a heaven-defying luck this time hehe," said Shinichi as he looked and patted Elly
"That bird, that majestic figure, that aura it's a Phoenix! What the f*ck" Said Kiara with vulgar words
"Ugh... Kiara san your face looks like a crook and your words are not fitted to your beauty." Said Shinichi
"Ahem! I-I'm sorry about that. I don't care anymore, I will die from a heart attack someday. Haaaaa~" said Kiara as she sighed
"Well? What do you think?" asked Shinichi
"Please we would like your help and will reward you handsomely," said Kiara
"Alright then, we will leave now. The earlier we leave the faster we can back them up" said Shinichi
"How about you Esri?" asked Shinichi
"Sarah, command our unit to double the security of this city in case this place will attack too" commanded Esri
"Yes Captain" replied Sarah then left
"We are going now Kiara-san," said Shinichi
"Yes, be careful and come back alive," said Kiara
"We will" replied Shinichi
When they are about to leave a White-haired woman suddenly appeared in front of them.
She had blue eyes, wearing a blue and white mini dress with a bow on her back. Her hair has a hair clip in her left and right head and her hair in the back was loose.
"Are you planning on going with only the three of you?" asked the white-haired woman without emotion on her face
"an elf?" Shinichi exclaimed
"Hmm? Is there a problem of me being an elf?" Asked by the white-haired woman without changing her expression
"Oh! It's nothing, this is my first time seeing an elf" said Shinichi
"So? Can you answer my question now?" said the woman
"Yes we are, why do you ask? Also, who might you be?" replied Shinichi
"I see," said the woman still without emotion in her pretty face
"My name is Lisa Bolenan, I'm from Bolenan Forest Elven Kingdom," said Lisa coolly
"Ugh, I'm Shinichi Oda this is Reina Cromwell and Esri de Balor," said Shinichi
"What is the person from elven kingdom doing in this city?" Asked by Esri
"You don't need to know about it," said Lisa
as Esri and Lisa glared at each other, Kiara suddenly spoke.
"She's the Arch-Mage that I told you guys earlier." Said, Kiara
"Oh!"
Shinichi then looked again at Lisa and asked her a question "Are you going to reinforcement too like us?" Shinichi said
Instead of answering him Lisa asked him instead "Are you going there with only the three of you?"
"Well, yes. If I will be able to save some lives why not." Said Shinichi without thinking
"Your willing to risk your life just to save the life of the people you don't even know?" asked Lisa this time there is a slightly curious look on her face
"Hmmm, well ill be frank with you. I wanted to go there and test my strength and saving them is just a bonus" said Shinichi
"I don't care about other people but if someone I know or love one's is needing my help, ill helped them without hesitation as long as they don't betray me. I will help them without a doubt." Said Shinichi seriously
"If someone I know or love one's is needing my help ill helped them without hesitation as long as they don't betray me. I will help them without a doubt." Lisa repeated what Shinichi just said multiple times as if she was memorizing it.
"I see, as long as they don't betray you" Lisa muttered.
Shinichi heard her and replied "Yes as long as they don't betray me. So how about you, are you going or not?"
"Can I join you? I wanted to see how you're going to save them" said Lisa
"I am not the only one, you girls can help too but my two girls' safety is my priority. If I saw them get in trouble I will abandon anything just to prioritize their safety" said Shinichi
He reached out his right and left hand as he hugged Reina and Esri around their waist.
"I see" Lisa replied without emotion even seeing them flirt in front of her
"Alright then, shall we go?" said Shinichi as he smiled
Lisa just nodded as she followed them behind
