The area was solemn. It seemed like some type of important matter was going on.
"So?"
A man in the crown chair called out.
While standing his right hand on the hand on his chair, he rested his head on his palm, asking,
"Are you telling me that both Shikalah and Leon are dead?"
His voice was cold yet reflected his anger.
"Y-Yes, my lord."
While kneeling in front of his chair, a man in black admitted.
That man was gasping in fear. He was utterly terrified because the person who was sitting in front of him was known for causing millions of deaths. He was dead himself. He was the sworn enemy of Ary and other warriors... Arterismet VII, the demon king that killed more than a million warriors after his rebirth.
He narrowed his gaze while looking at that man, saying,
"I see. Well, your work is done."
"Ah—?!"
The man reacted in shock as he understood what was going to happen to him.
"My Lord, I—" SWISH!
"AARRGGHH!!"
With an agonic roar, the man in the black hood fell to the ground as a red beam pierced through his head.
".....?!?!"
All other members of the hall were left flabbergasted and terrified.
Sigh!
Arterismet VII sighed and while closing his eyes, he said,
"Well, did anyone know who was the killer?"
No response.
Everyone was already terrified and also, no one knew who actually did it.
Sigh!
Arterismet VII sighed again, saying,
"What a useless bunch of ministers and demons I have. What a waste."
Then, he snapped his left-handed finger.
Snap!
Swish!
In an instant, a red-scarfed man appeared in front of him and knelt, asking,
"Is there anything I can do for you, your highness?"
"Yes, go and kill the warrior who killed Shikalah and Leon. And bring his head to me."
Arterismet VII said in a tired voice.
"As your wish."
The red-scarfed man said in a formal tone,
"Swish!"
Then he vanished.
'Hmmm....'
Arterismet VII opened his eyes and while lowering his gaze, he pondered,
'Why am I getting an uneasy feeling?'
Then, his eyes shifted to his left, toward a big red door.
A sinister smile formed on his face, he said inwardly.
'Why do I need to fear in the first place? I'm a Demon King. Hehehe.'

"Th-that's insane! He couldn't possibly—"
Kashi said, but while interrupting his words, Mai called out,
"That's marvellous!!"
"Eh?"
Kashi reacted as his face shaped a blank expression.
"Yes,"
Mai clapped her hands and glanced at Kashi and said,
"He's so talented. I feel terrible about assigning him to train under you. But it's fine since you're also a little better."
"...."
Kashi didn't say anything but continued to glare at Mai with a poker face.
"Hmm?"
Mai halted as he saw him glaring at her.
"My my~"
Mai said as she placed both her palms over her cheeks, saying,
"Don't stare at me like this or else I'll end up being pregnant with your baby."
"Eeeh?!"
Ary and others reacted with surprise after hearing this.
Sigh!
Kashi sighed while placing his right hand over his face, saying,
"You're such a drama queen. You wanted to train the girls, right?"
He understood why she was acting this way.
"Yup,"
Mai replied, with her sparkling eyes.
"Fine. As I said before, you can train them. Now, get out of my sight."
"Thank you, Kashi~~"
With an enthusiastic voice, she ran toward the girls, and while holding her arms, she flew away toward the neighbouring realm.
"Ary!/Mike!"
Erica, Emily, and Mary called out after being yanked by Mai.
"Worry not, girls."
Mai said while flying. She added,
"Let your boyfriends be trained and let me train you girls. Both physical..."
Then, a playful smile formed on her face, she commented,
"And sexually—cough! I mean, mentally."
Swish!
Then, he teleported away from there.
Sigh!
While sighing, Kashi said,
"She's such a pain in the ass."
"Umm... senior."
Ary called out.
"Hmm?"
While lifting his eyebrows, Kashi responded.
Ary shifted his gaze to Kashi, asking,
"What training should we do now?"
He had trained a little with Kashi, but did he have to do the combat again or was there any other type of training now?
Kashi smiled at him, saying,
"Ary, I have already seen your strength. You are physically strong. Yet you have to be mentally strong as well."
Then, he pointed his finger toward a tree on the left, saying,
"You can go there and try to meditate."
"Oh, okay."
Ary replied with a smile and started walking away toward the tree.
"Ahehehe. I'll go there as well."
With a fake smirk due to fear, Mike said as he turned around and started following Ary.
Pat!
"....?!"
Mike enlarged his eyes in fear as a hand grabbed him from behind, saying,
"Let me train you, Mike."
It was Kashi.
In a robotic style due to fear, Mike looked back at Kashi.
Kashi had already known that Mike was a scapegoat. That's why he showed a sinister smile at Mike, saying,
"Why don't we begin our training, Mike?"
"Eeh?!"
Mike was left terrified and began sweating in fear.
Kashi smiled more, adding,
"Let's begin our training."
While Ary, on the other hand, reached below the tree shade.
He sat beneath the tree while folding his legs and closing his eyes.
"Hah..."
He took a long breath.
He felt like his surroundings had changed.
The voices of Kashi's attack and Mike's cry started to become less and less, and soon enough, they vanished.
He didn't hear anything.
He felt warmth around his body. He felt like he was floating in mid-air.
'What's this...?'
He pondered.
'It feels so good.'
He said inwardly as a little smile formed on his face.
'Master.'
He heard a voice.
'Hmm?'
Ary reacted inwardly.
He slowly opened his eyes.
"Wha...?!"
He was left stunned as he found himself flowing around the sky, which is full of different coloured energies.
"Hmm? What?!"
He let out a shocked cry as he saw himself completely naked.
"Master."
He heard a honey-like voice from behind him.
"Hmm?"
He reacted as he turned around.
His eyes widened as he saw an incredibly beautiful lady.
She had long golden hair and a pair of green eyes. She had a slim body and snow-like fair skin.
Unfortunately, she didn't wear anything. She was completely naked.
Ary diverted his eyes while covering his personal area, asking,
"Who are you?"
She didn't say anything but smiled at him, flew toward him, and embraced him.
"Huh?"
Ary reacted in confinement as he didn't understand who she was and why she was even embracing him.
She embraced Ary and the massive mountains of boobs pressed against Ary's face.
"Ummmm?!"
Ary reacted, but he didn't manage to release him.
"I'm glad that you finally see me in my human form."
The girl said.
"What?"
When Ary reacted, he didn't understand a single thing that the girl was saying.
"Don't you recognise me, master? Or do you want me to call you the way...I used to, Host."
"....?!"
Ary widened his eyes after hearing that girl's testimony.
"Wait!"
Ary reacted as he released himself, and while looking at that girl, he asked,
"Are you—"
But before he could even continue, the girl nodded and confirmed,
"Yes, that's me, Host."
Then, she placed her palms over Ary's cheeks, saying,
"I'm your book of Almita."
"...?!"
Ary was left dumbfounded after hearing this.
He had no words to say.
But before he could even react, Almita embraced him again. Her nipples were touching Ary's face. His face turned a little red even though he was trying to calm down, but the situation was making him go wild.
And unexpectedly, something stood up.
"Damn!"
Ary gritted his teeth as he understood what it was.
Almita didn't panic though. She lowered her face and, while caressing Ary's head, she said in a serene voice,
"Rest assured, Master. Because...the time has come."
"Huh?"
Ary reacted as he didn't catch up to what Almita was saying.
A serene smile formed on Almita's face. She remarked,
"Time...to be one, Master."
"Wha?!"
Ary reacted.
After hearing, "be one," an odd thought ran through his head.
And since they were naked at the moment, so he thought Almita was really going to do it.
"Wait, we can't—?!"
Ary released himself and denied the fact that he thought.
But as expected, Almita's speed was more rapid than Ary's.
She yanked Ary toward her, and within a second, Ary widened his eyes as he sensed a soft sensation on his lips.
It was Almita's lips. She kissed him while closing her eyes.
But why? Why did she do that?
Ary was left flabbergasted. He tried to free himself, but he failed.
His body didn't move at all.
'Master...'
'.....?!'
Ary reacted as he heard Almita's voice in his head.
'Here you go.'
She said, and unexpectedly, a hot sensation flowed inside Ary's mouth.
Ary's eyes sparkled as he understood...what it was.
