Mordred spoke to the young man behind him:
"George and Tanvis jointly select a new king, and the selection method is rather 'traditional'. They hid a new 'Sword in the Stone' somewhere in this city."
"If anyone can obtain it and hold it for a whole day, they can become the ruler of Ingris, although no clue about the Sword in the Stone has appeared so far."
"But that's not actually the point. I have some friends who brought me information - information about Tanvis."
"He's not a friendly otherworldly elf, but a terrifying evil demon from the Cosmic Void who has destroyed countless worlds. It wasn't until he arrived on the land beneath our feet in ancient times that he encountered a Fire Giant even more terrifying than himself, was thoroughly defeated, but even so…"
"He was merely stripped of his powers, sealed away, and turned into a matchstick man made up of lines, unable to be truly destroyed. And now it has appeared in our world again."
