The moment Fiona heard the news, she was a.s.saulted by a terrifying shivering fit.

To Fiona, it was obvious who did this.

He is in the shape of a human, but he"s an existence on an entirely different dimension.

A race that is far stronger than others such as demons and dragons exists.

It"s something like a new race that"s one rank above the others.

At least Ashtal has weak points, and it"s possible to deal with him.

She wondered whether they had something like that too.

"This is bad……I took hostile actions against him."

She was careless.

Won"t this city of Rhodan vanish, just like Hamilton Fortress?

She thought that for a moment, but judging from their actions up until now, she thought that wouldn"t be possible.

At the very least, he wouldn"t think to blow it away, his acquaintances and all.

However for herself, and for the Briton Kingdom, there is no doubt that they"re in a dangerous situation.

In order to speak with King Richard Ⅱ, Fiona speeded through the hallways of Wolic Castle.

Richard Ⅱ was speaking with his retainers in the council room.

Fiona didn"t think that this outspoken conference was very beneficial for them.

The room was so loud that even when Fiona walked into the room, n.o.body noticed her for a while.

"Can"t we say that annihilating Hamilton Fortress was their way of saying "serves you right"?

"Certainly, it gives you a sour stomach, but where will they blow away next?"

"Please stop with the scary stories."

"Even if you say to investigate, it"s in a different country. Also, we can"t examine it because it"s vanished."

"How has the Scottyard Kingdom moved?"

"They haven"t. Has Scottyard even realized it yet?"

The officials were having a conversation with no benefits.

Fiona waited a while, and approached Richard Ⅱ.

Noticing Fiona, Richard Ⅱ ordered them to continue gathering information and moved to a different room.

"For this matter, you are the most informed."

"Yes, I have to report many things to you."

Fiona told him what happened, without hiding anything.

Ashtal said he would teach them what happens when you lay a hand on them, and transferred away.

The result of that is this.

"By this point, it"s already confirmed that he did it."

"Yes. Even if someone else did it, there"s no mistaking that they would be someone he can order around."

"That means that both 50 years ago and Demon General Fumeless from the other day were both done in by them."

"Since they have that much power, I believe they"d have no difficulties doing that."

Fiona was convinced, and agreed.

"If so, would it be fine to think that they"re not the enemies of humanity?"

"Since we"ve never spoken with them, I don"t know for sure, but I don"t believe that they"re our clear adversaries like demons are."

"But if we anger them, things like this will happen."

Fiona heard that, and trembled.

"I was also hostile to him."

"That"s true, but you"re safe and the fortress was destroyed. There must be a line that he doesn"t allow us to cross. For example, directly harming them or something."

"I completely burned him with Flare."

"Nn?"

"After, I slashed him at full strength with Krau Solas……Your Majesty?"

Richard Ⅱ was drawing back.

"You"ve already crossed the line you should never cross……"

"I feel that way too."

Fiona dropped sweat from her forehead.

"We,well, putting that aside,"

Richard Ⅱ cleared his throat, and changed the subject.

"Still, this is troubling. Such an existence exists in the world. How to handle this, I don"t have the slightest clue."

"If you look throughout history, there are man phenomena and events that we don"t clearly understand. At very least, there"s no doubt that they"ve been intervening with history for a while."

"Do you think it was their work?"

"Probably."

In the past, humanity is said to have had 6 cases of near destruction.

It was indeed unnatural to have greatly reversed the situation in all of them.

Rather, if someone lent them a hand, it"d be easier to understand.

"We can"t meet the same fate as Scottyard. Right now I want to learn their things like their rules and characteristics."

"However, it"d be pointless to hide and investigate them. Also, with their rules, we can"t directly ask them."

"Hou. They"re also bound by rules."

Richard Ⅱ narrowed his eyes.

"We might be able to find common ground with them if we learn their rules……"

"Unfortunately, we can"t speak about that."

At that time, a voice sounded from the window.

It was the voice of a man.

"Who are you?"

Fiona put her hand on her sword.

The man easily broke the window.

Naturally, the castle"s windows were strengthened by magic.

Richard Ⅱ panicked at the fact that he was able to break those windows so easily.

The ones who came inside were Julius and Serena.

"Serena-sama!?"

Fiona raised a hysteric voice.

However, she put her guard up again the next moment.

That person is no longer an ally of humanity.

"Ara ara. I"m not recognized as being an ally of humanity anymore."

Serena floated a suspicious smile.

"I apologize for making you have such a difficult life."

Julius apologized.

"No, it"s fine because I"m enjoying it. Besides since it"s come to this, I"m——no, humanity is ruined anyways."

"I"d like you to speak so we could understand too please."

Richard Ⅱ interrupted their conversation.

"Unfortunately, I can"t explain about us."

"The same answer as that boy. Like that, we won"t be able to negotiate."

"No, these are negotiations. We"re troubled right now."

They can"t come to learn about the evil G.o.ds.

Ashtal, Julius" lord wishes to live in the human world.

However, like this information about Ashtal will spread.

If that happens, Ashtal will be unable to live in the human world.

If he retreats to the Dark Temple and waits for a few hundred years, the humans will forget all about this.

But he doesn"t want to stay recluded for another long period of time.

"Thus, we"re willing to negotiate. What you people want isn"t information, it"s the confirmation of your safety."

"Hou. Can you guarantee that you"ll never harm humanity ever again?"

"If you want to negotiate that, then there"s one thing we want you to do. We want you to open an anti-demon conference."

Richard Ⅱ couldn"t guess Julius" true intentions, and asked him back.

"An anti-demon conference? Even though the Maou hasn"t appeared?"

"It"s because that"s the only method to gather people from different countries."

"Well, there have been instances in the past where we didn"t follow the regulations."

"I don"t mind if you gather them under my name, because I"ll lead the discussion."

Serena said that, and Richard Ⅱ had a strange idea.

Serena hasn"t stubbornly tried to involve herself like this before.

This problem isn"t a matter that could be solved by Briton alone.

Richard Ⅱ nodded, and each country was informed of the anti-demon conference.
