Peter ascended the throne shortly after the incident with prime minister Egan and the Potterland kingdom’s ambassador. There should be a coronation ceremony for celebrating his ascending to the throne, but Peter decided that it should only be done after they finished defeating the Potterland kingdom at war.

With the supports from Slime, Sera, Alfred, Albus, Edreale, and Sen, Peter managed to smoothly balance the kingdom’s power and drag almost everyone into the royal faction. With the great generals of the Grandaria kingdom publicly pledged their absolute loyalty towards Peter, it could be concluded that Peter immediately grasped full control of the kingdom’s military.

All the nobles that are proven to support the Potterland kingdom or any other kingdoms, they immediately punished and have their land and their noble rank stripped from them. It’s something that could only be done in this situation where prime minister Egan’s case is still fresh.

Looking at how the kingdom’s affair improved significantly after Peter just ascended to the throne made the people and the nobles favored Peter more than ever. The soldiers that watched the scene where the demonification happened on the huge screen summoned by Slime’s men felt a slight hint of fear inside of their hearts.

But when they saw their generals appear and killed prime minister Egan they releasing a terrifying amount of demonic aura in an instant, made them recovered their belief. And the fact that their new king is someone that had contracted with the spirit king of wind increases their vigor even more.

The soldiers are now couldn’t wait to fight the Potterland kingdom that had join hands with the demons. All of them bear hatred towards the demons as some of their friends, acquaintances, and families had died because of the demonic attack before. The fact that there is a kingdom of mankind that decided to join hands with the despicable demons intensified their will to fight.

As the second night after Peter ascends towards the throne arrived, the heroes of the Grandaria kingdom are gathering inside the king’s chamber secretly. As the king’s chamber is not a place for friends gathering, they’ll get scolded by the queen if she saw them, so they decided to secretly gather there as it will be more troubling if Peter is the one who sneaks outside the castle in the night.

“Hm? Where’s Sen?” Peter who is already wearing the king’s robe asked.

“In the dungeon… Maybe, your majesty,” Edreale answered with her usual indifferent tone.

“Please drop that your majesty thing, Edreale, I’m still not accustomed with that callings. And I don’t want my friends to be calling me that formally,” Said Peter with a wry smile.

“No no no, your majesty. That can’t do, we’ll get scolded by her majesty the queen if we’re caught calling you unrespectfully, you know?” Alfred said with his usual frank attitude.

“Ugh… At least you guys could call me Peter when there’s no one besides us, Alfred…” (Peter)

“Not Chris? Aren’t your true name is Chris?” (Albus)

“Well, I think I prefer getting called Peter rather than Chris, and it felt more comfortable to be called Peter by you guys anyway,” (Peter)

“I see… Fine then. But Sen’s been venturing to the dungeon a lot lately, huh? Is there something happened to him?” (Albus)

“I don’t know, maybe he found a girl inside the dungeon or something?” Alfred said with a shrug.

“Big bro, He’ll cut your leg if he heard that, you know?” (Edreale)

“Well, that’s why you shouldn’t tell him what I just said, Edreale…” Cold sweats start to drop at his back as Alfred saw the corner of Edreale’s mouth is slightly bent upwards, indicating she is imagining doing something terrible.

“I’m serious, Edreale. My dear cute little sister, please don’t tell Sen, ‘kay…?” Plead Alfred.

“Is there something that happened to him?” Peter asked the same question.

(Is he mad because I hide my real identity all this time…? I heard that their home got destroyed by some royal knights….) (Peter)

“Well, there’s no need for you to worry about him, young king. He’s fine, he loves to kill and slaughter some lives, that’s all~” (Alfred)

“I-isn’t that something that we actually should worry about?” Sera that has been quiet all this time couldn’t help but rebuked Alfred’s words.

(But well, I think only Edreale and I could understand what that little samurai’s feeling right now… We’re siblings, after all…) (Alfred)

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

Inside a dungeon outside the Grandaria kingdom’s territory, a man is standing without any blood or dirt stains visible on his body despite he’s already standing at the 50th level of the dungeon. In front of him is the boss of the 50th level of the dungeon, a huge snake with five heads and powerful magic abilities.

Sen holds his katana as he prepares to unsheathe it. When his hand reached the grip, a memory where he first learns the technique he about to use from his dear friend replayed a couple of times inside Sen’s head.

With a kind tone, he asked Sen to learn a technique that he thought Sen will definitely able to master and even improve.

‘Sen, this is a technique that only you could master. Not even Alfred, or even the sword god, the old man Kyron able to use this technique. This is a sword move that only the two of us could use, but maybe only you could master and improve,’

His words resonated inside Sen’s head. Sen still remembers his tone, his expression, and his soothing aura that made Sen that always been unsociable and been distancing himself from other people could feel comfortable around him. The first time he saw the technique, he felt great awe and admiration towards his dear friend.

‘This is a ‘One Slash One Kill’ technique. It relies on speed, and it’ll be far more efficient if we took advantage of lightning element’

Lightning element?

‘Yes. It’s a rare element that only a few people could have the affinity of it. And you surprisingly had a great affinity towards the element, Sen’

The beast in front of Sen roared with its 5 heads, making a terrible noise.

ROAAARR!!!!!!!!!!!

“Shut it, don’t ruin the mood,” (Sen)

Sen took his stance and prepare to unsheathe his katana. His mana covered his body and electricity start to cover the whole of his body. Sen’s hair spiked above because of the electricity, and it changed to white color.

ROAR!!!!

The giant five-headed snake dashed towards Sen with his enormous body. Without being surprised or scared of it, Sen calmly uses his technique.

“Lightning Katana style, first stance,” (Sen)

‘Since it relies on speed, I call the technique, ‘Thunderclap”

“[Thunderclap]” (Sen)

Blast!!!

In an instant, Sen cleanly slashed all of the heads of the giant five-headed snake in one slash. The snake didn’t even know Sen slashed it until it could finally feel the pain, all it knows is there is a huge sound of thunderclap coming out of nowhere.

Sen sheathes his katana back, and uninterestedly gaze back towards the giant five-headed snake.

ROAR!!!!

Surprisingly, the five-headed snake didn’t die because of the slash. Each of the fallen heads grew back their body and became five different giant snakes. But Sen didn’t show even a slight hint of surprise or fear. He only took another stance, and ready to unsheathe his katana once more.

Different from before, the bolts of lightning coming from his mana aura intensified several folds than before. The bolts of lightning automatically shocked the giant snakes without Sen giving it command, making the giant snakes felt numb.

“Lightning Katana style, second style: [Thunderstorm]”

Blast! Blast! Blast!

Different form before, the technique Sen just used didn’t slash only once but slashed consecutively according to the number of the opponent in front of him. Each slash instantly killed the enemy as a thunder also struck the enemy that Sen slashed.

The five giant snakes fell as their heads are torn and their body got burnt into cinders by the thunders.

“Even though… Even though I want to show you that I finally succeeded in using and even improving the technique you taught me…” Even though he just won the battle, his heart and his voice are filled with sadness and misery.

“Just where the hell did you go, Ren…?” (Sen)

Alfred and Edreale sensed what Sen is feeling as they knew he is training the technique Oz taught him every day. And both of them also felt the same thing as Sen did. And with Peter ascending to the throne, the three of them also decided and sworn the same thing inside their heart.

To become stronger.

(To be able to defend those dear ones to me…) (Alfred, Edreale, and Sen)

Once again, inside the dark dungeon, Sen sheathes his sword and seeks other enemies inside the dungeon for him to kill and enhance his techniques…
