Once again, 5 years pass.
Zephyr is now 30 years old.
There is another meaning here.
This is the year when the unexpected invasion of demons will occur.
The people have no idea that this is their last year.
Zephyr never expected to reach this day again. Since when he declared to himself that he would eliminate all the bandits, he thought he would never reach the day when the demons attack.
Sadly, he didn't eliminate all the bandits because there are just too many!
Even so, Zephyr destroyed over 500 bandits bases in the span of 10 years, saving countless lives. He became known throughout the Alvaran Empire because of this.
It's still a great feat!
Elric has amassed 10 million coins in his storage along with various equipment he acquired.
Now, Zephyr is walking in a town near the frontline of the impending war.
In front of Zephyr are five 3-Star knights walking with him.
Other 1-star knights around are looking at Zephyr in amazement.
For the first time, Zephyr has shown himself to the people!
Now they are witnessing the so-called Bandits Killer.
Many admire Zephyr for his accomplishments, so they respect him greatly, treating him like a general who is a 5-Star knight!
Zephyr is still a 4-Star knight, stuck at 4-star for almost 5 years. It's his own fault because he spent his whole life killing bandits.
Zephyr looked at the man in the middle, who was in full armor with strong energy emanating from his body.
5-Star Knight!
This is the general leading this place now.
He happily approached Zephyr.
"Greetings, General Fred," greeted Zephyr.
"It's a pleasure to meet you bandits hunter, no need to be formal with me," replied General Fred while laughing.
Even without his feat Zephyr is the second strongest here, so General Fred treats him happily.
"Come, let's talk at the headquarters."
Zephyr nodded and followed the esteemed general.
Inside the headquarters, they discussed the demons.
Zephyr gave a hint on which month the demons might attack, but in truth, the hint he gave was the exact month the demons would attack.
Exactly 4 months from now...
"Don't worry, we'll focus on the area you pointed out in the coming months."
A few moments later, the door burst open, and a 2-star knight entered quickly.
"General! Outside..!"
"What are you shouting about?" General Fred said with a frown.
"P-Princess Seraphina is outside.." he replied.
Zephyr frowned after he heard what the knight said.
