After checking over the new abilities of his familiars that had just ascended to the [King] rank, Druid Oz went straight to the demonic base to start his plan.

He has completed one of his objectives which is ascending one of his familiars into the [King] rank if he could and turns out, his luck didn’t betray him and there are two familiars of him that ranked up instead.

And now, it’s time to clear his main objective which is scouting the demonic base.

With the same trick as before, he used his infernal mosquitos to form a magic circle and use his [Flower Warp] to warp him and his familiars to a place near the Griftania empire’s imperial capital.

(Now, the first one is to check on the strength of the guards inside that barrier of miasma) (Druid Oz)

Since the imperial capital of the Griftania empire that had become the base of the demons is surrounded by a very thick amount of demonic mana that had formed a kind of barrier, Druid Oz’s summoned insects couldn’t last long inside it. And because of it, he couldn’t test the strength of the guards that are guarding the place.

He had tried to make some of his infernal mosquitos self-destruct themselves as a form of experiment and kill some of the demons inside, even though the target dies, it still didn’t give any useful information for Druid Oz about the strength of the demons.

And because of the demonic mana barrier enveloping the Griftania empire’s imperial capital, the sight of his summoned insects is hindered, and he couldn’t get a clear view of the inside. Let alone seeing the inside of the imperial palace.

“Frostion,” Druid Oz called out the new frost lion [King], Frostion.

“Yes, master,” Frostion nods as he understands what his master wishes him to do, and immediately chant a spell.

After several seconds, 5 ice golems appeared in front of Druid Oz.

“Attack those guards,” Druid Oz pointed to the two demons standing at the gate of the imperial capital.

“As you wish,” (Frostion)

With his thoughts, Frostion controlled his ice golems to attack the two demonic guards. Without wasting any time, the ice golems rush at the two demonic guards as fast as they could.

But with their huge and heavy body, their speed is limited.

After a while, the ice golems finally get near the imperial capital’s gate, and the demonic guards noticed their presence as well. The demonic guards seem to be a humanoid ones since they have two legs and two humans as well, while Druid Oz couldn’t see their face nor their skin since they’re equipped in full-body armor.

The two demonic guards raise their ax but they didn’t move any closer to the ice golems to attack them, nor did they take a step retreat. They just take their stance while continuing to observe the ice golems.

The golems didn’t have any consciousness so they don’t really understand what the demons are doing. They only live and follow the command of their master, which is, “Kill the two demons over there,”

One of the ice golems charged into the demonic guards and strike it with its huge fist.

*Boom!!!*

But of course, the demonic guards didn’t lose that easily. One of them takes the blow with a defensive stance and receives considerable damage, while the other.

*Slash!*

The other demonic guard attempted to chop the ice golem’s hand that entered the demonic barrier of the demonic base, but only managed to make a slightly big crack on it. Druid Oz saw a hint of surprise from the demonic guard’s reaction, but it didn’t stagger. The other demon that blocked the blow from the ice golem didn’t stay idle and immediately support his ally.

He takes the opportunity and slashes at the ice golem’s arm that had cracked, chopping it off. But since it’s a golem, it didn’t feel any pain and continue to strike them with its remaining arm.

But different from before, the demonic guards used another plan to defeat the ice golem. The both of them evaded in time and strikes their ax towards the ice golem’s remaining arm that entered the demonic barrier, but.

(Their ax stuck? No, it’s a part of their plan) (Druid Oz)

Their ax got stuck in the ice golem’s hand, and they pull it with all of their force. Forcing the ice golem to completely enter the demonic barrier.

*Slash!* *Slash!*

The demonic guards destroyed the ice golem’s feet, forcing it to fall, but when they were about to strike its head that had gotten into their reach.

*Crack!*

*Boom!*

The ice golem exploded itself, giving off frost winds to the surroundings. The demon guards jumped back when the ice golem’s head cracked in a whim, but the explosion still gave them considerable damage.

The both of them have one of their arms frozen, and even though they tried to melt the ice with fire magic, the ice won’t meltdown. Without waiting for another moment, the other four ice golems continue what the dead ice golem left behind.

Unlike before, the four of them charged towards the demonic guards together since the first one attacked alone because of Frostion’s order to make Druid Oz gauge the strength of the demonic guards easier. And he succeeded.

Druid Oz is astonished by the battle that got unfolded before him.

(The strength of the ice golem is surprisingly high, but the demonic guards aren’t weak either) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz believed so since when the battle started, there is a thing that bothered Druid Oz the most.

(The demonic guards didn’t attack the ice golem first because it’s outside the demonic barrier) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz managed to think of two possibilities from the sight he just saw.

The first one is that the demonic guards couldn’t get outside the barrier because their source of strength is the demonic mana barrier enveloping the imperial capital.

(But considering their strength, it might not be so. The demonic mana barrier might boost their strength, but leaving it shouldn’t pose a problem for them…) (Druid Oz)

The second possibilities are that the demonic guards got an ‘order’ from their master.

“‘Kill anyone who enters the barrier’, huh… If it’s that, then that order must be coming from ‘that’ demon…” (Druid Oz)

The image of the self-proclaimed demon king that appeared at the Galhala kingdom’s royal palace appeared inside Druid Oz’s head.

(Well, I wouldn’t know unless I entered that imperial castle, though. But the chances of that demon inside the imperial castle is high…) (Druid Oz)

As the ice golems entered the imperial gate, the two demonic guards are no match for them and got defeated quickly. But soon after, other demon guards with the same appearance as the two demonic guards appeared to take over the position of the dead two demon guards.

The other demonic guards that are wandering around the imperial walls also gathered and defeat the ice golems together. Just like before, the ice golems explode themselves when they’re about to die, taking the lives of some of the demonic guards together with them.

But there is still no response from the horde of demons that are staring blankly at the imperial castle.

(I guess they will only move if the one inside that imperial castle ordered them to, huh… I guess I have no choice but to take a peek inside as well…) (Druid Oz)

“Wait here,” Druid Oz instructed his familiars as he transforms into his infernal mosquito form.

(With this form, I shouldn’t be detected just like my other infernal mosquitos. But well, there seem to be no traps, I guess I just need to take a peek at the inside of the imperial castle and take a strategical retreat…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz prepared his warp spell in case of something unexpected happened. Gathering his mana to make a small mana barrier that will protect him from the dense demonic mana, Druid Oz approached the imperial walls.

(Time to go!) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz attempted to infiltrate the demonic base from above the walls, but when he gets into contact with the demonic barrier, an unexpected thing occurs.

*Whoosh!*

“Eh?”

Druid Oz’s beast transformation spell got revoked, returning him to his Druid form, forcing Druid Oz to land on top of the imperial walls. And suddenly-

(Shit!) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz saw the sight of the horde of demons staring at him. The demons that have been staring in the imperial castle’s direction all this time are staring at him.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(M-Murderous intent!) (Druid Oz)

All of the demons emit their murderous intent together with their demonic aura as all of them rushed towards Druid Oz’s direction.

“Shit! This is bad!!” (Druid Oz)

In a split second, Druid Oz jumped back from the imperial walls, and his familiars that had been waiting idly rushed to his side immediately.

“Frostion! Flamia!” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, master!” (Frostion)

“Roger!” (Flamia)

Frostion summoned 15 ice golems to guard their back, while Flamia blocked the imperial walls with her flames.

“[Flower Warp!]” (Druid Oz)
