“You lowly demons… Even if I die, this world will never lend you, villains, a hand!!!” Sarathras roared as he’s currently bound by huge chains and his body got stabbed by several huge swords, bounding him to the ground, and restricting his movement.

“Shame… You could’ve been a great ally… Truly a shame, Sarathras…” Baal’s voice echoes in the huge castle as his followers stay on guard around him.

ROAR!!!!!!!!!!

Sarathras’s roar is fearsome enough that the huge castle vibrated and the floors and walls cracked because of it. Sarathras tried his best to unleash himself from the chains and swords binding him, but it turns out it’s all end up in vain.

Baal let out a big sigh.

“There’s no need for you to waste your energy like that, Sarathras. These are the five demonic generals that had accompanied me in battles for hundreds of years. Their strength is on par with the top 10 demon kings in my realm,” Baal said with full of confidence.

“Ugh…” Sarathras groaned as he still struggles to break free himself from the shackles while bearing the intense pain.

Looking at Sarathras, Baal let out a big sigh.

“Since it seems that you’re that eager to die, let me grant you that wish of yours!” Baal draw his demonic sword and about to slash Sarathras’s head with it, but-

“[Necromantic Flame]” (Malacoda)

Boom!!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Six green flames suddenly dashed and exploded at Baal and his five demonic generals, catching them off their guard. The damage is rather significant, and Baal detected that the flame is embedded with some kind of curses.

“Shit… WHO DARES TO ATTACK M-” (Baal)

Whoosh!

A skeletal figure clad in majestic armor suddenly appeared in front of Baal at a terrifying speed. Baal could see his eyes are filled with hatred towards him.

“I do,” (Gareth)

“Y-You are-” (Sarathras)

BOOM!!!

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

As the battle between the demonized nobles soldiers ended. Slime and co marched forwards towards the capital of the Potterland kingdom. As the citizens of the Potterland kingdom heard the news of how those nobles and their soldiers got demonized by the royal’s orders, they supported the alliance of the Grandaria kingdom and the Tarot empire to punish the Potterland kingdom royals.

The citizens make way for the army of the alliance, they’ll even donate some food and rations for the army. Even before the case with the demons, the citizens have been long displeased with the king of the Potterland kingdom. They tend to raise taxes, exploit some citizens who can’t afford the tax to manual labor, and support the corrupted nobles.

For the citizens of the Potterland kingdom, having the wicked and corrupted Potterland kingdom royalties removed are a blessing. There’s nothing more frustrating than having an unfair and corrupt ruler that only thinks of himself.

in five days, they completely surrounded the royal capital of the Potterland kingdom. But in contrary to Slime’s expectation, the Potterland kingdom surrendered themselves without giving any fight with their royal army. It turns out that all of them got brainwashed by Gusion’s summoned demons to make them docile, except for the foolish king of the Potterland kingdom.

When the crown prince of the kingdom regained control of his mind, he immediately grasped the situation and drive his men, and take over the throne and replace his father. He immediately commands his generals to surrender peacefully towards the Grandaria kingdom and the Tarot empire.

While slightly nervous, the crown prince faces Slime, the supreme general, and Sera alone.

“I, Edrich Potterland, As the crown prince of the Potterland Kingdom, hereby declares that the Potterland kingdom surrenders towards the Grandaria kingdom and the Tarot empire. We’ll even accept if the Potterland kingdom were to become a vassal country of the Grandaria kingdom or the Tarot empire,” (Potterland kingdom’s Crown Prince)

“But with one condition, you’re forbidden to forcefully abduct, capture, or even the citizen of the Potterland kingdom,” said the crown prince.

“Strange, it’s the first time for me to hear a condition from a country that had just lost a war,” (Slime)

“T-That is…” The crown princes planned to say that all of them will rebel if they got persecuted and harmed, but Slime’s piercing gaze enveloped the heart of the inexperienced crown prince with fear.

“But well, since it seems that the crown princes that will soon take over the throne of this kingdom don’t look like a fool that would join hands with demons like the previous king, I’ll give you my word that we won’t harm your citizens as long as they don’t harm us first,” (Slime)

And on that day, the Potterland kingdom officially surrendered towards the alliance of the Grandaria kingdom and the Tarot empire. Slime said to Sera that the emperor of the Tarot empire decided that he will let the new king of the Grandaria kingdom to chose what kind of fate the Potterland kingdom will have in the future.

After considering together with the ministers and his friends, Peter decided that the Potterland kingdom will be a vassal kingdom of the Tarot empire, which is something that truly unexpected.

“I see, it’s indeed a wise choice. After getting into such chaos, the Grandaria kingdom will need a lot of time to recover and re-establish the kingdom’s stability. Having a vassal kingdom might be beneficial as supply and military sources, but if the Grandaria kingdom took it now, it will only make things worsen and could end up making the Potterland kingdom that is in much more chaos than the Grandaria kingdom collapse, which would lead to the rise of lots of other problems,” (Slime)

“Well, I believe our emperor will be very pleased to hear the news. I hope the alliance between our countries could last forever, your majesty,” Slime said towards Peter inside the royal palace of the Grandaria kingdom.

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

Potterland’s new king, Edrich Potterland is a bit surprised with the outcome. He remembered the stare of the ambassador of the Tarot empire that made his heart enveloped in fear. But he knew that being part of a great emperor with boundless military power meant that his kingdom will at least be safe from other countries’ attacks.

Inside the royal palace of the Potterland kingdom, King Edrich is waiting for the envoys of the Tarot empire that will pick him up to meet the Tarot empire’s emperor. He knew that today there will be someone picking him up as suddenly an envelope appeared above his throne when he wakes up this morning.

“You need to bring at more guards, your majesty,” Said the royal captain of the Potterland kingdom’s royal guard.

“No. It will make them question our trust in them. The Tarot empire had been saving lots of people without taking anything. I believe in them, being a part of their empire might be a fortunate outcome for us,” (King Edrich)

“Aren’t you’re going to go with me? With you, the strongest sword god ranked warrior of the kingdom beside me, why should I be scared of anything, Lexus?” King Edrich tried to calm his royal guard down.

“But, your majesty-”

“Your majesty, the envoy from the Tarot empire have arrived,” The voice of the royal guard that protects the king’s working office suddenly appears from behind the door.

“Really? Let them in,” said Edrich cheerfully.

The guard opened the door, revealing Slime, wearing a black suit that is unfamiliar in this world.

“Morning, your majesty. I’ve been tasked to escort you towards the imperial capital to meet the emperor,” Slime said as he bowed towards the young king.

“I see, then when shall we go?” (Edrich)

“Yes, as you wish, your majesty,” (Slime)

The both of them went outside the palace while being escorted by the imperial guards, but king Edrich couldn’t help but get confused as there is no carriage or horses as the message mentioned that he doesn’t need to prepare anything as the ride will be prepared by the Tarot empire.

“Lord Slime, where is the-” (King Edrich)

Suddenly, several cries of birds sounded loudly from the skies.

“T-That is… A Griffin??” Lexus the captain of the royal guards couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise as he saw the legendary magic beasts slowly landed in front of them.

The royal guards immediately draw their swords and go in front of the young king to protect him.

A Griffin.

It’s a powerful magic beast that could defeat a sword saint-ranked warrior easily. It’s said that one of the heroes of the old age tamed a griffin and fought together with it.

“Relax, men. They’re part of the empire,” (Slime)
