Chapter 210 – Rendezvous

About 500 years ago, the Demon King’s Palace ended the era of opposition and united the kingdom.

500 years for the Human World is a long period that spanned tens of generations. However, things were different in the Demon World. Like ordinary inhabitants of the Demon World, Demon Kings were also mortal, and therefore there were six rulers in the five hundred year history.

The invincible king who ended an endless confrontation ruled for the shortest period of time. He founded the Demon King’s Palace and left the throne in the 12th year of his reign.

At the time of the founding of the Palace, the 1st Demon King was already many years old. It took him over 100 years to end the era of opposition. For a century he led the army and participated in an endless series of battles.

Thus, the Demon King was old, but age was not the decisive reason for his departure. Considering the average lifespan of the suras, the Demon King was about middle age and was still a long way from death.

He had only one reason why he had to leave. He became weaker. The second generation Demon King surpassed him.

The 2nd Demon King was the king’s nephew. The 1st Demon King did not have children, and therefore one of his nephews received the right to ascend the throne. In the Demon World, such a continuity was quite common.

However, the real reason the 2nd Demon King inherited the throne was not at all because he was the flesh and blood of the 1st King. Everything was much simpler and clearer. The 2nd Demon King became the most powerful being in the Demon World, and his predecessor decided to give up his place to him.

The 2nd Demon King ruled this world for over 100 years. The 3rd Demon King was the strongest of his children. The 3rd king also ruled long enough. In the fourth generation, his beloved 3rd daughter inherited the title of Demon King.

Unlike her predecessors, she was not the strongest in the Demon World. She wasn’t even the strongest among the Demon King’s children. However, she still sat on the throne, because the 3rd Demon King loved her very much, and the other sons and daughters simply killed each other in endless strife.

And now the girl who became the Demon Queen turned out to be the strongest of the remaining brothers and sisters, both individually and in terms of the presence of forces behind her.

The 5th Demon King was the eldest son of the 4th Demon Queen. He was the strongest among the royal descendants, but not the strongest in the Demon World. This made him obsessed with the inviolability of the family descending from the ancient king, and he passed a law according to which only children born to legitimate queens can inherit the throne. The 5th Demon King had many concubines, but his queen was a sura, who was also his cousin and was with him from childhood.

In the fifth generation, only one child was born to the king and queen. Therefore, the 6th Demon King was able to ascend to the throne without the slightest power struggle. However, ironically, the 6th Demon King has become the most powerful person in the Demon World, unlike some of his predecessors.

It was the king of the suras, Mithra…

The current Demon King.

***

The Demon King was in an empty room, plunged into darkness. More than 10 years have passed since he left his chambers in the Black Castle and moved to the place, the whereabouts of which only the Duke’s Sword knew.

Of all the Demon Kings in existence, Mithra had the largest number of queens and concubines, as well as the largest number of children.

The 1st Prince Baikal Ragnaros, the eldest of the Demon King’s children, was not even thirty. Baikal was still a child in the eyes of numerous races of the World of Demons.

However, all the children of the Demon King were young. Based on their lifespan in the Demon World, the differences in their ages were extremely minor, since they were all born approximately 10-30 years ago.

Around the same time, the Demon King realized that he was sick.

Then decades passed, and his disease only began to progress. There were periods of stagnation, but nothing more.

Unlike his predecessors, the current Demon King grew up in the Sanctuary. This is why he was able to understand why the 1st Demon King passed his throne to the 2nd.

The Demon King was not the ruler of the Demon World. He was his protector.

The strongest of people was not supposed to become the new Demon King in order to be able to suppress any rebellion or get rid of a competitor. There was a more pressing reason.

The Demon King stood up and looked away.

***

Archilich Shutenberg was not a fool.

It’s been over 1,000 years since he became a lich. In the era of confrontation, he was called the Half-Queen. Schutenberg lived a long life before becoming a lich. And if you count all the years lived, then he was already more than a thousand years old. And that was a lot.

However, he was not the oldest creature in this world. There were also those who lived in the Demon World for much longer.

Archilich Shutenberg thought about one of them. About the oldest being in the Demon World. By comparison, even the oldest dragons were young.

A smile appeared on Schutenberg’s skull face as he saw those on their way to his kingdom.

Sword of Duke Ishgard, the elder of the suras and the one who taught the Demon King…

And also the 2nd Prince Zephyr Ragnaros, the strongest of the princes. On the day he was born, even the dragons shuddered at the power he was gifted with.

There was even the Warrior Locke – a miracle born among hundreds of millions of people. He was the Dragon Kechtulla, trained by the Guardian Quain. Together with Locke, the 9th Prince of Shutra Ignus, the Knight of Conquest and the Dragon Kechtulla of the Demon World, who was even more dangerous than Zephyr and the Warrior Locke, were on their way to his castle.

And finally, everyone else. All of the Demon King’s children were sent to Schutenberg, with the exception of the 3rd Prince Victor Nekrion.

Sitting on his throne, Archilich Shutenberg leaned back. Finally, everyone had to come together.

***

As Indara said, the cold and blizzard subsided as they moved north. However, these areas were still comparable to the coldest regions of the Demon World.

Moreover, as the blizzard weakened and heat appeared, attacks from the monsters became more frequent. Especially often they were annoyed by the undead resurrected by Shutenberg, so the soldiers had to fight several times a day.

Ingun understood why the Duke’s Sword had prepared only a small elite unit for the march through the northern lands. Only the most elite warriors were able to traverse these cold lands and reach Schutenberg’s castle without dying on the way from exhaustion.

They didn’t know when the next raid would happen, and therefore could no longer afford to create a new hot spring, as when they met with Locke. All they were content with was alternating sleep and the relative warmth created by Felicia and Diana.

Under the howl of a blizzard, Amita struck with his hammer. The raccoon’s little pen banged on the portable anvil, but the wind whistled so loudly that there was no need to worry about the issue of secrecy.

– What do you need? – frowning, grumbled Amita, who was mending a pretty battered weapon.

Carrack, who approached him, smiled and replied:

– That’s no, nothing, just now you look like a real master. I see a real blacksmith, not a raccoon who drank water from a bath until his stomach ached.

– Hrrr! Amita growled angrily, making the orc laugh cheerfully. For all his faults, Amita was indeed a talented artisan. Moreover, thanks to Heavenly Wine, he became very obedient.

“The Prince should keep this a secret.”

Otherwise, Amita would definitely have pounced on Ingun to bite off a piece of him.

Karrak imagined Amita gnawing Shutra’s fingers and laughed again.

Meanwhile, the most interesting was the place where the princesses gathered.

– Sister Beatrice, tell us something else about the Human World.

Beatrice was with the princesses and their assistants. Over the past few days, Caitlin had become friends with Beatrice and now called her “sister.”

Anastasia sighed, looking at Caitlin, who was standing next to the Saint from the Human World. She had a pretty good opinion of Beatrice over the few days together, but the time span was still too short. As such, Anastasia was worried that Caitlin might lose her guard.

– Caitlin, maybe we should give the Saint a little rest for today? Can’t you see she’s tired?

Hearing this rebuke, Caitlyn flinched, but Beatrice only smiled.

– Everything is in order, Princess Anastasia. Talking is not difficult.

Anastasia had no answer, and Caitlin smiled broadly and hugged Beatrice.

– Bea, I really like you.

Beatrice smiled contentedly, and Felicia, watching this spectacle, grimaced with displeasure. It seemed to her that Caitlin was being taken from her.

Karrak laughed when he saw that the princesses were all right and headed for the exit from the hideout.

Stories about the strange World of People were happy to hear not only the princesses. Ordinary soldiers were also curious to learn something new from the lips of Locke and the King of Mercenaries.

Reaching the exit, Karrak got out of the cave and greeted the soldier who was on guard. Seeing snowflakes in the skies above the Demon World was considered a rare and wonderful piece of luck, but for the past few days, snow has caused nothing but curses among the warriors.

– Carrack.

– Prince.

Ingun stopped looking at the sky and turned to the orc, dressed in winter clothes.

– It’s already night and the prince should have rest.

– Wait a minute.

After answering Karrak, Ingun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The orc also looked up into the night sky. A ray of green light flickered somewhere in the distance.

Green Wind, which looked at the ground from a bird’s eye view, shared her vision with Shutra.

The mini-map was directly dependent on the actual field of view of the user. In this regard, its range of action expanded significantly when the Green Wind provided him with a circular view of all the surrounding territories.

Then Ingun opened his eyes. Karrak saw the White Eagle coming down quickly and asked:

– Are we close?

– Yes, no later than the day after tomorrow we will be there.

Archilich Schutenberg…

He was not a particularly important figure in the Saga of the Knights. Schutenberg was strong, but he should rather be categorized as hidden bosses with little or no influence on the game’s plot.

However, in this world, his significance was completely different. And another confirmation of this was the participation in the task of both Zephyr and the Duke’s Sword himself.

Ingun’s head was heavy. Although almost all of the Demon King’s children were gathered, he couldn’t stop worrying.

Death Knight and War Knight…

How long will these two remain in the shadows? They were also in the north, and therefore at any moment one could expect their move.

His mind was cold, but his thoughts were far from being the most rosy.

Karrak put his hand on Ingun’s shoulder and said:

– Prince.

Ingun turned to the smiling orc.

– You shouldn’t bother yourself with this so much.

Ingun could not help but smile back.

– Uh-huh.

The White Eagle returned and Shutra looked north.

***

Sitting on the back of the Quantum, Zephyr scanned the ground beneath him. Due to the snowstorm, visibility was poor, but he could say with certainty: Schutenberg Castle was already close.

Depending on the level of resistance of the enemy, they can reach him by tomorrow.

Zephyr closed his eyes and concentrated. The Elder Dragon Armor he was wearing, the Armor of the Relentless Thalia seemed to growl in response.

– It’s time to return, – Zephyr gave a short order, and Quantum headed to the ground.

Hovering between powerful winds, Zephyr again looked towards Schutenberg Castle.

***

The War Knight said something, and Archilich Schutenberg felt it.

The Death Knight decided not to wait any longer and rose from his throne.
