“Your Imperial Majesty, we’re entering the territory of the Naga tribe,” Said one of the imperial knights to the Orc Oz.

The Orc Oz is venturing the forest together with six imperial knights and their familiars, Oz aimed to train six of them to be the six Commander Knight of the imperial knight order under Ibra. Supported by the ‘Jack Of All Trades’ secret order, Orc Oz easily knew the territory of the naga.

“Let’s enter boldly, it is said that the nagas didn’t like those who act like thieves, it’ll be better if we enter boldly,” (Orc Oz)

“I see… as expected of your imperial majesty, the emperor. You’re very wise,” Said the orc knight, Borg.

“St!!” The Kobold knight, Valor, put his index finger in front of his mouth, indicating to Borg to stay silent.

“My liege, I sense a presence,” Valor said with a whisper.

“Indeed, it’s a demonic aura, there’s a lot of them. Change of plans, naga hates demon’s impure mana, smells like trouble, let’s hide and observe first,” (Orc Oz)

“””Roger That,””” (All of The Knights)

Orc Oz and the imperial knights took a cover at a huge tree near them while observing at the oncoming presence.

Thump! Thump!

A giant demon walks together with a hundred of low-leveled demons, Making the ground trembles every time the giant take a step.

“The huge one’s estimated rank is at the [Count] rank. The others are just low-leveled demons. Looks like his minions,” Said the Lizardfolk knight, Kiryu.

“Good, there are only 100 of them. Edrym, use your bow, ride your mount, back us up from above,” (Orc Oz)

“Roger that,” Answered Edrym the elf knight as he rides his Jade Falcon familiar.

“Garol, Myren, both of you attack from their back while we attract their attention. Attack them together with your familiars,” (Orc Oz)

“”Roger That,”” Answered the goblin knight, Garol, and the centaur, Myren.

“Borg, Valor, Kiryu, time to ambush, NOW!” Together with Orc Oz’s command, Oz and the imperial knights attacked the demons.

“[Howl of Orc King]. ROOOOAAAAAR!” Orc Oz roared, paralyzing the demons for several seconds.

But it’s enough time for the orc Oz and the imperial knights to ambush them.

“[Smash]!!!” Borg the orc attacked together with his bear familiar and attacks. Borg smashed his ax to the ground, sending dozens of the demons flying.

“How dare you imbeciles!” The huge demon about to attack the orc Oz in wrath, but a figure appeared behind him first.

“Stop your bickering, demon. You’re facing the emperor,”

Slash!

Garol the goblin knight jumped and slashes the demon count’s head from behind. While Myren the centaur knight dashes and charges as a sole cavalry, breaking through the demons formation.

“Valor! Kiryu! Edrym! Don’t let any of them flee!” Orc Oz instructs them while he swings his greatsword killing multiple demons with each swing.

“”Yes, my liege,”” (Valor & Kiryu & Edrym)

Orc Oz took a magic adamantine greatsword from Thydal by his request. Orc Oz designs the weight of the greatsword to be very heavy, and the result is, the greatsword became the heaviest greatsword that when combined with Orc Oz’s power it became the deadliest weapon.

With the demon count’s death, the low-leveled demons are no longer a threat. Oz and the imperial knights massacred them in just three minutes.

“That’s a good warm-up, right?” Said the orc Oz, full of grins.

“Indeed, my familiar is also happy as he could eat a lot of demon meats,” Said Galor the goblin knight, looking at his direwolf familiar that happily eats the demon count together with Borg’s bear familiar and Kiryu’s serpent familiar.

“Sky, you don’t want to eat the demon count’s meat too?” Edrym the elf knight asked his Jade Falcon familiar. The Jade Falcon stares at him for a second, and flies to the demon count’s corpse, joining the other familiars.

“It’s good, it will strengthen them,” (Orc Oz)

“Ah! I think I leveled up, my liege. I could feel my body getting stronger, and the fatigue suddenly disappears,” Said the kobold knight, Valor.

“Good job! Since all of you are at the [Duke] rank already, it might be hard for all of you to rank up again, so this will be good training to train your skills, rather than accumulating levels,” (Orc Oz)

“But I feel something strange about these demons, we’re at the far west region, looks like the demons finally change their course. Let’s investigate this, guys,” (Orc Oz)

“””Yes, your imperial majesty!”””

*****************************************

—Tarot Capital—

“What do you mean by the next experiment, Ren?” Aegir asked the slime Oz.

“Come here, Aegir,” Slime Oz asked Aegir to approach him.

“Okay…” (Aegir)

Slime Oz took out a card and he pours his mana to the card and puts it at Aegir’s chest.

“Um… Ren?” (Aegir)

Countless blue particles suddenly appear and covered Aegir’s body.

“W-what the hell is this? Ren?” (Aegir)

Whoosh!

The blue particles suddenly disappear to the thin air, but there seems to be nothing change in Aegir.

<Ally upgrade failed>

<All upgrade requirements haven’t met>

<Imperial castle needed>

<A title that given by the emperor directly at the imperial castle is needed>

Slime Oz tried to give the Goblin [King] card to Aegir, but the empowerment failed.

“I see… It seems that the imperial castle is an essential thing for our improvement, I need to be patient while trying to improve the kingdom from other ways, huh. Well, it can’t be helped,” (Slime Oz)

“Um, what just happen?” (Aegir)

******************************************

“It failed, huh…” Orc Oz muttered to himself.

“Did you say something, my liege?” Borg the orc knight asked orc Oz.

“Hm? It’s nothing, we arrived at naga’s tribe, their tribe should be in front of us,” (Orc Oz)

“T-that’s the naga’s tribe?” Galor the goblin knight muttered as he saw the battered walls in front of them.

“Looks like your guess is right, my liege,” (Valor)

“Indeed, I hoped my guess is wrong though. It looks like our ally candidate had just got invaded by the demons,” Orc Oz narrowed his eyes.

“Let’s enter, stay vigilant, since their opponent is a race that excels in magic, the nagas, there’s a huge chance that they send a [King] rank,” (Orc Oz)

“””Roger that,”‘”

The tribe of nagas is a huge cave filled with a lot of houses that masterfully made with magic. When Orc Oz and the imperial knights entered the huge cave, the scene inside the cave shocks them.

“Those despicable demons…” (Myren)

“…” (Orc Oz)

(Lots of kids corpses, it means they killed them in consideration of food. They took the male for labor and experiment while the female for sacrifices and breeding, huh) (Orc Oz)

(From the footsteps alone, there are hundreds of them, while the nagas not even reach a hundred at number. And judging from how battered this cave is, it means the strongest one of the nagas fought with the demons, they must be at least at the [Duke] rank to make this much of mess) (Orc Oz)

Orc Oz wander around the cave, searching for the body.

(Since none of these bodies have that much of mana, looks like the strongest nagas also got captured by the demons, huh) (Orc Oz)

Orc Oz wandered a little bit further together with the imperial knights, and they found something unbelievable before them.

An Altar that has a huge and terrifying door before them.

“T-this is…” (Borg)

“It’s impossible! There is no way this thing still existed right? my liege! Please! Tell me I’m wrong!” Myren shouted, flustered.

“No, I hate to admit it, but I guess this is indeed the thing inside your mind, Myren,” (Edrym)

“Yea, it’s the demonic gate, now it finally makes sense why they took the risk of attacking the nagas. They’re aiming to open another gate to the demon world.

“Impossible…” (Valor)

Creak! Creak!

Whoosh!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The demonic gate suddenly got covered by an enormous amount of demonic mana. The door slowly tried to open.

“I-it’s opening!?” (Borg)

“Change of plans, all of you, return to the empire and try to find one of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ and report what you just see,” (Orc Oz)

“W-what about you, my liege?” (Valor)

“Me? I’ll stay here and do a massacre,” Orc Oz said with a huge grin.

“H-how can we leave you here alone, my liege!?” (Myren)

“Idiot! I’m just a clone! I could appear again anytime I want! But all of you only have one life! Now go!” (Orc Oz)

“I’m sorry my liege, I won’t leave. Even if you’re just a clone, you’re the emperor’s clone, I can’t leave an image of the emperor getting defeated by the despicable demons right?” (Galor)

“Wha!? What the hell you-” (Orc Oz)

“That’s a brave word, not bad, kid,” A figure using an attire of a mage said.

“Relax, Ren. I plant my shadow to all of your clones so I know everything, we’ll help,” A figure equipped with light armor and dressed as an assassin said.

“Brad? Gurolf?” (Orc Oz)

“It’s sir Brad and sir Gurolf!” (Myren)

“Indeed, Brad told me what happened. What an interesting gate, such a shame that it’s wasted by a vile creature such as demons,” (Gurolf)

“How could you appear here so fast?” (Orc Oz)

“Hm? I obtained useful magic lately, it’s the spatial magic,” (Gurolf)

“Spatial magic!?) (Orc Oz)

ROAAAAR!!!

Countless roars appeared just like that time with the gate opened by the demonic slime king, but Gurolf, Brad, and orc Oz could feel the demons behind the gate is on a different level with the demons from the demonic slime king’s gate.

“Looks like we need to continue our discussion after we handle these guys first,” (Brad)

“Indeed… It will be a good exercise” (Gurolf)

“””Let us be your shield, your imperial majesty,””” (The imperial knights)

“Fine, don’t die, you hear me?”

“””Roger that!”””
