Not long after Azaline and Geeta joined the fight together with Druid Oz’s familiars, the bird-type demonized magic beasts finally got wiped out. But even though the demons are defeated, Druid Oz still couldn’t feel at ease.

(They are heading towards the Ablux continent…? By the crazed state they are in, they won’t feel exhausted even if their muscles got torn apart, so they might succeed in crossing the ocean. But 20,000 demons won’t just-) (Druid Oz)

As Druid Oz continue to process his thought, he realized one thing.

The demonic infection.

(Are they trying to spread the infection towards the Ablux continent as well…?) (Druid Oz)

Cold sweats started to gather at Druid Oz’s forehead.

Even if there is only 1 percent of the demons that managed to successfully arrive at the Ablux continent, as long as they managed to give even a scratch towards the habitants of the Ablux continent, the demonic infection will crazily spread at a terrifying speed.

(In this place where the habitants are the Owlfolks that possess the ability to fly, several countries still got wiped out by the demonic infection. The state the Galhala Kingdom is in is without a doubt, a miracle) (Druid Oz)

“Luckily I met Charnia early and managed to join hands together with the Galhala Kingdom. If I don’t-” (Druid Oz)

As Druid Oz is in the middle of praising his luck, the trees from the forest gave him a signal that they sensed a powerful presence heading towards his direction at a terrifying speed.

“A visitor. And he’s heading right to me, huh…” (Druid Oz)

*BOOM!!!*

Suddenly one of the man-eating trees got destroyed in pieces.

“What happened?” (Azaline)

“New enemy?” (Geeta)

Azaline and Geeta react quickly as they saw a figure dashing towards Druid Oz at a terrifying speed. Druid Oz calmly observes the approaching figure and when he grasps a clear image of him, Druid Oz widened his eyes in surprise.

One of his worst scenarios turns out to be true.

*BOOM!!!!!!!!!*

“”Ren!!!””

The figure crashed towards Druid Oz, making a big sound of an explosion and sends powerful shockwaves to the surroundings. The leaves and branches of the surrounding trees got sent flying because of the powerful shockwaves.

“You. Who are you?” Asked Druid Oz as his eyes became sharper.

Azaline and Geeta got relieved when they saw Druid Oz managed to block the strike with a huge wooden shield, but when they saw the figure that attacked Druid Oz, the words of warning from Corvus the Sky King resonated inside their mind.

“Are you a guardian?” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz noticed that the eyes of the owlfolk before him are still shining with consciousness. He’s not crazed by the demonification, but without a doubt, judging from his appearance, he’s already got demonized.

(Blackish-red claws, red skin, and a head that looks like a combination of a demon and an owl. Without a doubt, he’s already demonized. So an infected one that already got demonized could still possess a consciousness?) (Druid Oz)

“Once again, Are you a guardian?” Druid Oz asked the owlfolk before him once again.

(His strength is far behind the normal soldier’s strength, and that golden helmet it’s using, his appearance matches with what I heard from the prime minister, Allomere) (Druid Oz)

“I have no obligation to tell you. You need to die,” The demonized owlfolk pulled his claws that got stuck in Druid Oz’s summoned wooden shield, and free himself. But when he gathered more mana on his wings, it had become too late.

“That’s a shame, I don’t have any intention of dying yet. Try not to kill him, Azaline, Geeta,” (Druid Oz)

“Roger!” (Geeta)

*BOOM!!!*

Geeta that suddenly appeared above the demonized owlfolk strikes him with her big greatsword combined with her tremendous strength, sending the demonized owlfolk crashing to the ground.

Druid Oz couldn’t help but be amazed at how a big strength she could muster despite having such a slender body.

“Azaline!” (Geeta)

“On it!” (Azaline)

Azaline shots a dozen of magical arrows, sticking the demonized owlfolk to the ground with the powerful magical arrows. Azaline possessed restricting and paralyzing arrows that could be used to restrict an opponent as well, but the magic arrows she shot towards the demonized owlfolk are her usual ones.

“It won’t be good to waste the good arrows, after all,” (Azaline)

With its body got stuck to the ground because of the magical arrows, the demonized owlfolk couldn’t break free or even move. And even if it managed to break through, all of Druid Oz’s familiars had already gathered at the ground, growling and threatening it with their own ways, ready to shred him to pieces if their master ordered them to.

“Calm down, guys. We need to question him, it would be-” (Druid Oz)

Once again, Druid Oz got signals from the surrounding trees. But this time, rather than a powerful presence dashing at a tremendous speed, it’s an army of demons and demonized magic beasts coming from the south and north.

(A pincer attack. There are about 10,000 at North and 7,000 at South. And they attack in such a great timing) (Druid Oz)

“Prepare formation,” Druid Oz ordered his familiars, the man-eating trees, Geeta, and Azaline as he observes the skies and the surroundings.

“Ren?” (Azaline)

“So you’ve been watching us from the start, huh… It’s my miss to think that I’m the only one that spies on the opposition, I guess. [Earth Bullet]” Druid Oz sent an [Earth Bullet] towards a direction of a certain tree.

*A bat’s shriek*

It’s a bat.

To be more precise-

(It’s familiar. And a bat, huh… Typical for a demon…) (Druid Oz)

“Ren, lots are coming,” said Geeta as she sensed the countless presence approaching them from the south and the north.

Even if they run, getting pursued will be more difficult. But they don’t need to run, Druid Oz has his [Flower Warp] magic. By unsummoning all of his familiars, he could warp together with only Azaline, Geeta, and the rest of the man-eating trees and arrive at the Galhala Kingdom.

But if he teleports.

(There’s a possibility that they will cross the continent. My main body and the other clones should be witnessing this fight and they must have noticed the same thing as I did. But stationing the troops at the east side of the Ablux continent without getting noticed is difficult and will take a long time…) (Druid Oz)

“Geeta,” (Druid Oz)

“Yes?” (Geeta)

“Azaline,” (Druid Oz)

“Hm?” (Azaline)

“Exhausted yet?” Asked Druid Oz as he tapped the ground and other four man-eating trees appeared from the ground.

“Of course not!” said Geeta as she raises her greatsword.

“We could fight, there will be trouble if we don’t, right?” Asked Azaline as she knows there is a reason why Druid Oz didn’t decide to retreat.

“Yes. But remember, don’t get even a scratch. The demons here have a sort of demonic virus infection here, a scratch, and you’ll transform into a demon after a while,” (Druid Oz)

“T-That’s not good. I don’t want to be a demon,” (Geeta)

“True. Being as ugly as a demon is not something I want. We’ll retreat and rest when we’re tired. No need to worry, Ren,” (Azaline)

“Okay. My familiars will guard the both of you when you’re tired. Since the demonic infection didn’t affect my familiars, the both of you don’t need to worry about them,” (Druid Oz)

“Okay!” “Okay~”

“My liege, what about me?” Asked Corvus as he approached Druid Oz.

Since Corvus the sky king is not Druid Oz’s familiars, Druid Oz is unsure whether he will get infected or not. And if he did get infected and transform into a demon, it will be a great disaster considering his powerful strength.

“Focus on maintaining your barrier armor, I’m not sure whether you’ll get infected or not. It’s better to prevent taking an unnecessary risk, Corvus,” (Druid Oz)

“As you wish, my liege,” said Corvus as he bowed his head towards Druid Oz. He’s still in his mini bird form as he’s conserving his strength after the fight, looking at him made Druid Oz want to say he’s cute, but it might hurt his pride as a king so he prevents his mouth from letting the word out.

“Then, let’s prepare for the second wave,” (Druid Oz)

But once again, as the demonic army was about to enter their view, Druid Oz, Geeta, Azaline, and the others sensed a big number of presences coming from the East.

But this time, they’re not demonic presences.

“Who are they?” (Geeta)

“Another enemy?” (Azaline)

“No,” Replied Druid Oz as a smile formed on his face.

“They’re on our side,” (Druid Oz)
