Inside the great Tarot empire’s grand palace, wearing the emperor’s attire, Slime Oz gazes at the great Tarot empire’s capital from the window.

(This peace… How long could I protect it…?) (Slime Oz)

“Ren, the rest had arrived,” Aegir’s voice appears from behind the door.

“Aegir, huh. Let’s go then,” Answered Slime Oz as he opened the room’s door.

“Is it serious?” Asked Aegir with a firm face.

“It is. It seems that some of this world’s residents had decided to join hands with the demons,” Answered Slime Oz.

“W-what!? You can’t be serious…” (Aegir)

“I don’t. That’s why we need to discuss what stand will we take on this as soon as possible,” (Slime Oz)

“Indeed…” (Aegir)

The both of them walked quickly towards the meeting room, but suddenly, Slime Oz stopped his tracks.

“Hm? Ren?” Aegir asked towards Slime Oz that had suddenly stopped walking.

Looking back towards the window where he gazes at the capital, Slime Oz resolves himself and steels his heart.

“This peace, this world, we’ll protect it with all our might,” Muttered Slime Oz as he clenched his right fist.

“Hmph! Well, of course!” (Aegir)

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

Slash!

The sword saint ranked warrior that about to transform into a demon got slashed into two pieces before he could finish his transformation.

!!!???

“Impossible…” The sword saint muttered his last word with wide eyes.

“Hm… To think there are quite a lot of people that had resorted to the power of demons… How saddening, how saddening…” An old voice appears in front of the sword saint ranked warrior that was in the middle of his demonification.

“The world is indeed in grave danger,” Continue the old voice.

“”Grandpa Kyron!!”” (Nash & Elena & Sera)

Thud!

The sword saint ranked warrior fell towards the ground as he lost his consciousness together with his life.

(As expected of the old man, he breakthrough such a tremendous amount of mana with his mana alone, while even a sword god ranked like Sera couldn’t take even a step towards him because of the enormous mana that filled with malice) (Slime)

(Hm? Why does the scary sword saint guy could have more mana than the four demonized sword god warriors we just captured, master? Doesn’t he supposed to have an inferior power than the sword god ranked warriors) (Fenrir)

(If my analysis were right, then the thing that the sword saint ranked warrior ate in order to enter the demonification state is something that forced his body to enter demonification. While on the other hand, the sword god ranked warriors entered the demonification without having their body forced) (Slime)

(Huh?) (Fenrir)

(I mean, different from the sword god ranked warrior, they just entered the demonification mode without eating anything. Judging by how the sword saint ranked warrior emitted such a tremendous amount of demonic mana after eating that thing, it means that the pill is the thing that stored that immense amount of demonic mana) (Slime)

(It looks like that in order to enter demonification mode, you need to have some demonic mana cultivated through your mana system. Since the sword god warriors have enough power and mana to withstand the force of the demonic mana, it seems like they had already trained and absorbed the demonic mana before) (Slime)

(And when they fought us, they activated and used the mana they stored on their body and managed to transform into demons successfully. While in the sword saint ranked warrior’s case, he is forcing his body and mana system to accept the demonic mana by making the tremendous amount of demonic mana take over his mana system) (Slime)

(Will the sword saint ranked warrior succeed if the old man didn’t slash him, master?) (Fenrir)

(I believe he will. And he’ll be able to use that tremendous amount of demonic mana easily) (Slime)

(Then wouldn’t it make him far stronger than the sword god warriors? Why won’t they use those pills to produce more powerful demonic warriors?) (Fenrir)

(Fenrir… It would be best if you were their leader instead…) (Reo)

(I’m not talking to you, bweee!!) (Fenrir)

(It might not be a wise idea to do that, Fenrir) (Slime)

(Why?) (Fenrir)

(Because the sword saint ranked force his body to enter the demonification state, his body will get overwhelmed by the demonic mana, and he’ll die with a terrifying pain not long after because his body won’t be able to withstand it) (Slime)

(H-how horrible… Humans really did horrible things…) (Fenrir)

(Fenrir!) (Reo)

(A-ah! I don’t mean it’s you, master! I mean the other humans!) (Fenrir)

(Stop it, you idiot!) (Reo)

(E-EHHHH!!??) (Fenrir)

(It’s fine, Reo. She’s not wrong…) (Slime)

(B-but master…) (Reo)

(Her words are true, Reo. Humans are indeed fond of doing horrible things…) (Slime)

“Sera! Elena! Are you hurt?” The old man Kyron’s expression warmed as he approaches Sera and Elena.

“We’re fine, grandpa!” Answered Elena and Sera.

“Wait, why doesn’t he mention my name?” Commented Nash.

“Well, isn’t it obvious? The grandpa had decided to abandon you, you naughty boy,” (Elena)

“W-w-w-w-what? W-w-why? I haven’t pulled any pranks since the last time grandpa scolded me!” Said Nash in panic.

“You’re just too loud and annoying. That’s why grandpa decided to throw you away, stupid,” Elena continues to tease Nash.

“Ugh….” (Nash)

Looking at the scene before him, brought a warm smile towards Slime’s face. He slowly shifted his sight from Elena, towards Nash, and finally towards the old man Kyron.

(The three of you have changed quite a lot, huh… I’m glad that all of you are well and full of energy) (Slime)

“She’s lying! Please tell me she’s lying, grandpa!!” (Nash)

“Hm… I guess that might be a good idea, Elena,” The old man Kyron said with a smirk.

“Ugh… Grandpa!!” (Nash)

Sera laughed as she saw the scene in front of her. Sera could feel warmth filling her heart. She could only feel the warmth whenever she is with Alfred and co, the old man Kyron and his orphanage kids, and strangely with the man she had just met recently too.

“Well now, could any of you introduce me with that fellow over there?” Said the old man Kyron as he shifted his gaze from Nash, Elena, and finally Sera.

Nash and Elena shook their head, the old man understands that it means that they didn’t know who the man standing behind Sera. The old man Kyron saw that Slime is looking at them with a nostalgic smile.

“He is-” (Sera)

Whoosh!

Black shadows once more appeared and gathered near the corpse of the sword saint ranked warrior and the captured four demonized sword god ranked warriors.

The old man Kyron holds his sword as he about to slay them, but Sera stopped him as she holds his hand that about to unsheathe his sword.

“It’s fine, grandpa. They’re not our enemies,” (Sera)

“Not our enemies…? Those… Wraiths…?” Muttered the old man as he stared at Slime’s wraiths.

“Bring them back with caution. There are still some possibilities that their allies will attack you half-way,” (Slime)

(He’s commanding them?) (Old man Kyron)

“Understood, my lord…” Answered the black shadows.

Whoosh!

They disappeared together with the dead swords saint ranked warrior’s corpse, and the four demonized sword god warriors.

“Those wraiths. They’re under your command?” Asked the old man Kyron towards Slime.

“Yes, they are, sir guardian,” Slime answered politely.

“Who are you…? But before that, have we met before?” The old man Kyron once again asked towards Slime. At first, he still used the warm expression he used when he talked with Sera and Elena, but suddenly-

!!!???

(Ugh… This old man…) (Slime)

The old man Kyron released his mana and enveloped Slime in it. The mana is so thin and well-controlled that even Sera and Elena didn’t realize it. But despite that the mana that enveloped Slime is thin, it’s filled with a dense murderous intent.

(Damn, he indeed got stronger after just a mere three years!) (Slime)

(Whew! It’s kinda refreshing to see master get pressured for one in a while) (Fenrir)

(Fenrir… But well, that’s not wrong) (Reo)

(Y-you two… At least give me some help…) (Slime)

(Nope, he’ll realize our existence if we lend you a hand, master. It will be unwise to do so) (Reo)

Realizing that Reo’s words are indeed true, Slime didn’t have any choice but to struggle against the dreadful murderous intent himself without showing it on his face to make sure Elena and Sera didn’t saw it.

“Hm…” The old man Kyron narrowed his eyes as the man in front of him piqued his interest.

!!??

(Impossible! This mana, impossible!) (The old man Kyron)

“You, who are you, young man,” Asked the old man Kyron as he suddenly got struck by deja vu when he asked the question.

“Hm… You could consider me as the winter princess’s bodyguard, old man,” Said Slime with a warm smile. The old man Kyron could see some drops of tears on the corner of his eyes.

(Y-you are!!-) (The old man Kyron)
