“So? After saying all those cool lines, what are we going to do against countless demons from the hell’s gate?” (Fenrir)

“Fenrir… Well, is there any other option than breaking through with meer force and destroying that creepy gate?” (Ren)

“T-that couldn’t be called a good plan, doesn’t it?” (Reo)

“It’s fine, sir Reo. If the sly Ren chose to take the bold way, it means that there are no methods that more effective than that one, right?” (Aegir)

“Indeed, Ren always making bad schemes inside his head,” (Geeta)

“Yup, even a fragile girl won’t be spared if she had something useful for him,” (Azaline)

“As expected of master…” (Gareth)

“NONONO, THAT’S NOT SOMETHING TO BE ADORED FOR, GARETH!” (Oz)

Oz sighs.

ROOOOAAARRRR!!!!!

Hundreds of demons behind the hell’s gate started to roars and crawled out the hell’s gate.

“Seriously… I’m not sure anymore whether you guys praising me or mocking me, but let’s focus at the fight now, we mustn’t be careless” (Oz)

“Roger that!” Fedra rushes first together with Ibra to the demons that crawled outside the hell’s gate.

ROOOAAAR!!!

The demons that crawled outside the hell’s gate didn’t have any intelligence, they only roared and crawled with a high-speed just like a beast.

“Silence, go back to hell, you insolent demons. Freezing Hell,” (Gurolf)

All of the demons that already crawled out of the hell’s gate, and together with the hell’s gate got frozen by Gurolf’s magic.

“Scatter,” (Gurolf)

Crack!

Following Gurolf’s command, the ice scattered together with all of the demons that got frozen by the spell.

“It seems that it’s not enough to destroy the hell’s gate too, huh,” (Gurolf)

There are only some scratches that could be seen at the gate’s wall.

“Gurolf! Don’t take all of the fun for yourself!” (Fedra)

“As expected of the empire’s sage, you take your moves quick,” (Talak)

“Indeed. Let’s join the fray too, shall we?” (Firenze)

“Geeta, you don’t join them?” (Azaline)

“You see, I started thinking whether I’m needed here,” (Geeta)

“True, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that,” (Azaline)

Oz and co’s tremendous prowess pushed back the countless demons back and managed to destroy the hell’s gate after fighting at only 10 minutes.

“I-impossible… It’s a hell’s gate, you know!? A gate that the demon emperor made by himself! How could… No… I need to retreat first before hey noticed I’m not dead yet-” (Demonic Slime King)

Gulp!

A huge griffin suddenly appeared in front of the small demonic slime king that wanted to flee. After Oz slashes the demonic slime king’s real body, it split a small part of its body that didn’t get any damage, but it seems that the demonic slime king didn’t notice that Oz’s griffin clone never even once take off his sight from him.

“N-n-n-n-n-nooo!!!!!” The demonic slime king could only scream while it gets eaten by Oz’s griffin clone.

“A-amazing… Each of them had a power equivalent to a king rank or a duke rank. But even if they had such tremendous prowess, they fight with godly skills and crazy teamwork… We’re lucky to be able to join them, they might even be the heroes of this era!” (Monkey King)

“True… And that. Isn’t that the dark spirit king, and the ice spirit king? And I could sense a contract bond from them with the emperor,” (Bird King)

“Is that true, monkey king!?” (Bear King)

“It’s true, bear king. With even two spirit kings having a contract with him, we had brought our brethren into salvation by joining him,” The monkey king speechlessly stares at Oz and his comrades.

(W-what!? Wait, it means that the prompts detect the slime as a different entity with my Incubus demon [King] card, huh. Lucky!)

Just like before, a [Lootable] board floats above the demonic slime king corpse.

(Time to loot!) (Oz)

Oz touched the status board, and two cards flew to Oz’s hands, both of them are blue cards.

[-Slime Soul Diversion card (S) (Special)

-Slime technique: Split (S) (Special)]

(Yes!!! I got the skill! I’ll test it out later) (Oz)

“Sir emperor-” (Monkey King)

“My name’s Ren,” (Oz)

“Then sir emperor Ren. Does the two figure beside you is the dark spirit king and the ice spirit queen?” (Monkey King)

“That’s not that much different… But yes, they are, but now it’s Fenrir and Reo,” (Oz)

“Nice to meet you, are you the descendant of Marka?” (Fenrir)

“Y-yes Lady Ice spirit queen,” (Monkey King)

“I got a name now, my name is Fenrir, child,” Fenrir said with a different leisure tone that she usually uses when she’s conversing with Oz.

“And I’m Reo,” (Reo)

“I see… Lady Fenrir, Sir Reo…” The monkey king kneeled in front of them, and both sky king and the bear king follow suit.

“It’s an honor to meet both of you,” (Monkey King)

“You know them, Fenrir?” (Oz)

“Not them, but their ancestors. When we spirit kings still live at this forest, we’re the one who led the magic beasts,” Fenrir said with her eyes looking back to her old self inside her memory.

“I’ll give you some time to converse, I’m going back to the empire. After looking at that gate, I’m now more sure that the demons will strike again, and it seems that they also know about us now, go back in an hour okay, guys?” (Oz)

“Thanks, master,” Fenrir unusually express her thanks.

“We’ll be back soon,” (Reo)

“Okay then, see you guys later,” (Oz)

“Um… What about us?” (Monkey King)

“You can converse with Fenrir and Reo while I’ll discuss where you magic beasts will be put at,” (Oz)

“M-my deepest gratitude, your imperial majesty,” (Monkey King)

Oz just waved his hands and smiled as he went back to the Tarot capital together with the others. The magic beasts escort Oz and co on their way until they arrived at Tarot’s capital.

“So? What are you intend to do with the magic beasts?” Asked Aegir.

As usual, The executives gather at Aegir’s dining room and started the meeting.

“I’m thinking of letting them be the familiars of our people,” (Oz)

“Meaning?” (Aegir)

“Just like the bond between the direwolves and the goblins, I decided to make similar bonds like that,” (Oz)

“I see… Which race will you give the magic beasts to, master? I believe that there are the monkey type, birds type, and bear types,” Talak unexpectedly interested in the conversation. When Oz shifted his gaze and observes the other kings, all of them seem to want to have their people have a familiar, as the magic beasts could be used as a military power too.

“Relax, for the meanwhile, I intend to give the bears to the orcs, they could help the orcs as a mount or as a hunting partner. For the monkeys, I think that they could help the centaurs with a lot of things as their hands are skilled and they had high intelligence. And for the birds, the elves suits them the most, it will also give our empire an aerial force, what do you think?” (Oz)

“””We agree with your decision, your imperial majesty,””” (Everyone)

Everyone agreed with the decision, but the one that didn’t get any familiar for their kingdom felt kind of disappointed.

“For the kingdoms that hadn’t got a familiar for their people yet, don’t be disappointed, don’t we heard them saying ‘The lions and the serpent king are still on idle'”?

“Y-you mean-” (Aegir)

“There are still other magic beasts that we could still subdue and make them join us?” Talak’s eyes filled with high hopes when he said this.

“Exactly, so after this, we could ask the help of the magic beast kings to help us persuade the other magic beast kings to join us,” (Oz)

“Indeed… If we had the magic beast kings persuade them, they might trust us more, as expected of you, Ren,” (Aegir)

the conversation continued for an hour. Oz contacted Fenrir and Reo from their telepathy to tell the magic beast kings his decision. After the meeting, Firenze, Azaline, and Magra went back to the magical forest to escort their chosen familiar back to their kingdom.

“We just got a huge boost at our empire’s prowess, huh,” (Aegir)

“Indeed, I hope we could keep on getting such good luck,” (Oz)

“True, in a short moment, that small village had become an empire consists of several races. You really change a lot of things here, Ren,” (Aegir)

“It’s true, huh,” Oz smirked as he’s rewinding all that already happened as he arrived at this world.

“Yup, and this empire going to grow more, it will need the emperor to lead it, all of the people know who the emperor is, but our people keep on increasing, Ren. Your presence will be needed more frequently,” (Aegir)

“True, but relax Aegir, I also got some interesting skills that I just get from the earlier battle, you could see it tomorrow,” (Oz)

“Skill?” (Aegir)
