*Pant!* *Pant!* *Pant!*
(If I didn’t warp us immediately, we would have become dead meat…) (Druid Oz)
The millions of demons that are inside the imperial capital rushed at Druid Oz like they are in a crazed state. The sight made Druid Oz got covered in a cold sweat.
“Oh yeah, I need to check the situation,” (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz closed his eyes as he restabilizes his breathing and connects his consciousness with one of his infernal mosquitos. He is worried that his mistake might trigger the demons to left the imperial castle and charge towards the royal capital of the Grandaria kingdom instead. But it turns out that they return to their usual position as if nothing happened.
*Phew!*
“Luckily they don’t pursue me… Well, maybe it’s because I warped back to the kingdom, huh…?” (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz warped back to in front of his mansion door. Since he had made a big magic circle that he could trigger anytime to summon a fully-bloomed warp flower.
*Sound of a door opened*
“Oh! Gor,” Druid Oz greeted Gor that opened the door for them because he sensed their presence.
(Before I warped to the first pillage group, there are several Owlfolks tailing me. Judging from their skills, it seems that they are from the royal guards. Did the prime minister or the Galhala king sent them?) (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz sensed their presence before he warped together with his familiars, but of course, he lost their presence after warping to the first demons pillage group.
(Well, they will immediately return to the capital after losing me, so I guess it would be fine) (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz let out a small relieved sigh after looking at the mansion’s door and about to enter the mansion. But when his right leg stepped inside the mansion.
“Hm?” (Druid Oz)
10 figures, clad in black, suddenly appeared behind him and kneeled towards him. But of course, Druid Oz recognized them since their attire and the masks they are wearing indicate their identity as a part of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order. But there is something else that bothered Druid Oz the most.
(They are not the members I brought here…) (Druid Oz)
“Forgive our intrusion, your imperial majesty. We brought urgent information for you to hear,” Said the one that seems to be the leader of the squad.
“I’m all ears,” (Druid Oz)
“The queen of elves and the queen of goblins, lady Geeta and lady Azaline, are getting attacked by a horde of Owlfolks at the west. 20 of our men are assisting them, but it seems that they are in a pinch. We have heard your report of the infection demons that could transform a person into a demon by a scratch from an infected one and avoids getting into a risky position, but the queens might be in danger since they didn’t know it,”
“Azaline and Geeta are in this continent!?” Druid Oz voices his surprise.
“Yes, your imperial majesty,” Answered the shadow as he kneeled.
“Then there is no time to waste, lead me to the place,” said Druid Oz as he transformed into his Owlfolk form.
“As you wish,”
Without wasting a moment, the 10 members of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ clapped their hands, and 10 griffins appeared from above, picking them up.
(I see… So they came to this continent by riding on top of those griffins, huh…) (Druid Oz)
“Let’s go!” (Druid Oz)
The eleven of them dashed towards the position where Geeta and Azaline are. Since the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order always has their position reported daily, the squad that is escorting Druid Oz towards Azaline’s and Geeta’s position knew where Druid Oz is at from the squad that Druid Oz brought together with him to the Eastaria Kingdom.
(The Galhala Kingdom is the nearest kingdom from the west side of the Eastaria continent, so Azaline and Geeta shouldn’t be that far) (Druid Oz)
Along the way, the captain of the secret order filled Druid Oz with the current situation of Azaline and Geeta.
(So they entered a cave for shelter, hoping that the demonized birds won’t enter it, huh… Well, that’s wise since fighting at an open field will only make them at a further disadvantage) (Druid Oz)
“How long since they have entered the cave,” (Druid Oz)
“three hours, my liege,”
“Then they must have exhausted already, let’s fasten our pace!” (Druid Oz)
The eleven of them fly towards the place where Geeta and Azaline are, and after flying for about an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.
“They’re inside that mountain cave, your imperial majesty,” Reported the captain of the secret order as he pointed at the mountain at the distance.
Druid Oz focuses his eyes and saw that there are tens of thousands of demonized birds surrounding it. They seem to be taking turns entering the cave.
“Obviously,” Druid Oz had been following the pace of the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order’s griffins, so he couldn’t use his full speed. Since he didn’t know where the exact location is, rushing forward alone won’t do anything. But now that he knows where Geeta and Azaline are-
“I’m going forward,” (Druid Oz)
“Yes, my liege,”
*Whoosh!*
Druid Oz flies at his full speed. Druid Oz caught the glimpse of several men clads in black robes slowly decreasing the number of the demonized bird-type magic beasts from several points near the cave.
But since they lack explosive strength, and the number of the demonized bird-type magic beasts are too many, their speed is too slow.
!?!?!?!?
Druid Oz unleashes his enormous mana as he prepares a big spell.
“[Man-Eating Trees, Nubian]!” (Druid Oz)
Following Druid Oz’s words, three huge magic circles appeared in front of the cave, summoning three 20 meters tall ferocious trees. Sensing the lots of demonic beings surrounding them, the man-eating trees immediately went to action and kill the demons around them.
Because of the appearance of the man-eating trees, most of the demons have their attention on them. But there are still some of the demons that are waiting for their turns to enter the cave where Azaline and Geeta are.
Transforming into his Druid form, Druid Oz chant his spell, “Scram, birds. [Fire Storm]!”
Dozens of fireballs appeared before Druid Oz and rushes towards the demonized birds surrounding the cave, giving out explosive sounds.
“Hm?” (Druid Oz)
When Druid Oz descended to the ground and entered the cave, the entrance is blocked by a big pile of demon corpses.
“Hmph!” (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz gathered his mana on his staff and tapped his staff towards the ground. The ground shakes, making the whole cave tremble, and suddenly huge vines appeared from underground, enveloping the piles of corpses, dragging them underground, and burying them.
With the piles of demons disappeared, the two familiar faces finally entered Druid Oz’s view. Their clothes are battered, and fatigue is all written on their faces. Looking at the sight, Druid Oz felt anger, worry, and relief at the same time.
“H-Hi, Ren… T-Thank you for saving us… S-Sorry, I can’t help but accompany Azaline, b-but it’s not her fault though! Her mother is-” Geeta immediately apologized and soon got flustered, but before she continues.
Pat!
Pat!
Suddenly a warm hand covered her head.
Azaline closed her eyes too as she prepares herself to get scolded, but suddenly a warm hand covered her head just like Geeta, followed by a soft sigh of relief.
“Are the both of you okay?” Asked Druid Oz with a gentle voice.
“Yes… Luckily…” Answered Azaline with a small voice.
“Is there any scar or scratch from the demonized birds?” Asked Ren once again.
“N-None…” Replied Geeta with a trembling voice.
“Good. The both of you are strong, but you’re still lacking the sense of life-threatening battles. This will be a good experience, sorry for being late,” said Druid Oz with a gentle voice as he releases his pat.
The thing that worries Druid Oz the most is if any of them gets a scar, and gets infected by the demonic infection. He hasn’t found anything that could cure or even stop the infection of the demonic virus, so the thought of them getting infected had been haunting his mind, making him very anxious.
As the warm hand disappeared from their heads, Azaline and Geeta opened their eyes and saw the familiar and relieving face that they could always depend on.
Druid Oz examines their dirty clothes and their body that are covered in sweat.
Gripping his wooden staff, Druid Oz turns his back and stared at the demonized birds outside.
“You’ve anger a wrong opponent, how unwise, silly birds,” (Druid Oz)
