''There is no way.That man is a complete freak,i don't want to lose my limbs for nothing.''When Aeneas heard the reply of Demi's mother,he was a bit disappointed.He already guessed that Dragons wouldn't help to them,other than some exceptions,so it was not a big deal.Still,he had to get as many help as he can.

Looking at Aeneas's face,Demi's mother only sighed.She could see his motives and the determination so just replied with a calm voice ''I'll try to give some Divine metal,but i can't help other than that.''When Aeneas heard Divine metal,his eyes brightened a little.They could be used to forge 2nd and 1st tier armaments,a very precious metal type.Even a small amount of it could enable them to gain the high ground when peak level powers clashed.

''I owe you a favor,Madam Deathcarrier.''Aeneas said and bowed his head in gratitude.''It's no use to us anyway,i'm only keeping them because of their shiny looks.''Even if she said so,this was still a very precious material.He couldn't take this gift freely,while he also got their help for Grim in near past.Madam Deathcarrier also understood his intentions,and she too felt the pinch of the losses.So she thought it wouldn't be excessive to request a thing.

''Alright then.From what my dear said,she sensed a Dead Alternate Dimension at the city where they were settled.Can you get it's core?''Aeneas furrowed his brows.Alternate dimensions were generally serperated to 3 parts.Outer world,Inner world,Core.The Outer world was where All forms of life and matter lived,just like the surface.Inner world was like an passageway from Outer world to Core region,where was all mana and chaotic force was gathered.In the Core region was,obviously,where core resided.It would absorb the Excessive mana and Chaotic force to stabilize the Dimension and protect the life inside it.

Generally,it was an easy task for a 2nd rank expert like him to gather the Core of Dimension.But Dead Dimensions were different.They were at the end of their Lifespan,which made them unable to support any form of life,so there was a possiblity of collapsing.Even a Mid God couldn't survive an Collapsing Dimension,let alone him.While it was true the price of a Dead Dimension Core was much more higher,it was also very risky.

But he was a man of his word.He didn't complain about anything,only nodded calmly.Deathcarrier was a bit taken aback.She only said it on a whim,because she couldn't find an appropriate thing for him to do.Even so,Aeneas's decisiveness also impressed her.''Then i will take my leave.I shall leave Grim to your care.''Aeneas said and directly walked out.

Even though she felt it was unneccessary to rush things,she didn't say anything.She was always supportive towards the hot blooded youngsters.She and Aeneas got along very well in these 2 days,as she really enjoyed his accompany at her side.It has been 8-9 thousand years since she talked with a junior from another race.So it was also a breath of fresh air for her.

''Now,now.Let's hope he is not unlucky.He is qutie a cute child.''She smiled slightly.She turned her gaze towards a particular room in the upper floors,where Grim was currently living.''He is also a bit interesting.I never saw someone wake up and directly fall asleep at this speed.''With some trivial thoughts at her head,she walked off towards her own bedchamber.

...

''Raiden,Auber my old friends!I hope you have been well these times.''With a hearty laugh,a burly old man appeared to welcome the Auber,Father of Grim and Aeneas and Raiden.Old man had some short white hair with no ounce of beard,mustache.He was a head taller than both of them,like a towering giant.He wore a armor which covered his big body perfectly,showing his dense and bulging muscles.

''Good to see you Kong''Auber said calmly.The guards protecting the enterance of the tent were angered by his attitude,wanting to teach him a lesson.But they were not a match for Auber,so only swallowed their anger.Despite Guards clear anger,Kong didn't feel any offense or coldness.Auber was generally like that,even back when they were adventuring.He closed on him and patted his shoulder,continuing to laugh with a wide smile.

When the guards saw Kong's attitude towards this 'Rude' man,their reverence and respect towards Kong grew more and more.This was what a real man should be like!He didn't even take it to the heart and responded with a friendly demaenor.This was the reason many were willing to follow his lead.He was a kind and great man with no ill intentions to anybody.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

''Kong,you seem to be aged my friend.Did someone cursed you or something?''Raiden asked with a teasing smile.Even though Kong didn't stop laughing,his mouth twitched a little,showing irritation at the blatant offense.''Raiden!You seem much more healthy!''Kong said and thrust his hand at a incredible speed towards Raiden's shoulder.Raiden's eyes flickered a little and directly retreated,but Kong moved without any sign so he couldn't react in time.

With a small boom,Kong directly smashed Raiden's shoulder with his palm and Laughed uproariously,saying''Looks like some 'Junior'Forgot to train in his spare times.''Raiden's body was deep in the ground,only his head and shoulders visible on surface.His face was looking down and angered.He directly glared at Kong hatefully then got out of the small crevice,patting his clothes to remove any dust and dirt.

When the two guards witnessed that scene,their eyes opened wide while they felt their belief shaken.Not only they saw this side of Kong first time,that man actually withstood an attack from him!Even if Kong didn't use his full power,it was enough to crush most of the people.

After glaring some more,Raiden chuckled playfully.This was accompanied by an another laugh from Kong while Auber also smiled widely.''It has been more than 30 years huh.''Kong said,sighing lightly.''Yes,it has been a very long time.''Raiden said,While Auber nodded.''So,how the things are going?''Asked Auber.

''Personally,it's not bad.But our general standing makes me worried.''The playful smile already left Raiden's lips while Kong and Auber turned serious.Kong waved his hand towards the two guards,awakening them from their daze.Both of them directly bowed in apology and got away from tent's vicinity.It was evident that they had to discuss something important.

''What is the situation with the shapeshifters?''Auber asked directly.''Completely exterminated.''Kong said gloomily.Raiden and Auber also turned a bit gloomy.After small scale skirmishes ended and marching of Demons started they planted several shapeshifters among their army to gain intelligence and information.Sadly,Demons probably had some people excelled at Soul,capable of identifying the spies instantly.They couldn't get any information about their settlements nor their army order.This was very frustrating,because enemy already knew their standard forces,other than deep reserves.

Kong took out a big parchment from one of the chests inside the big tent and laid it on the table.Pointing with his finger,he started to explain.

''Currently,we discovered 3 army and 17 small settlements with 2 big city.2 of the armies are leaded by hero realm generals and 4 demon lords.We don't know the exact numbers for other army,because it only stands at central continent's border.We don't dare to engage because of the possiblity of encirclement.I will indicate them as army 1 2 3.''

''Army 1 is,just like i said before,standing between the border of Dark lands and Central continent.They have started to build a headquarters there,probably preparing to start a great march.Currently,we are here.At the south west of border,790 kilometers away form them.Just like how we observe them,they are also observing us.They are using some necromancers to increase the speed of infection,gaining terrority advantage.''

''Army 2 is marching towards north east,Their destination unknown.From our estimates they could directly attack Hydra sea or meet with Army 3 at Pale city,sieging the city.Even though we have plenty of experts at Pale city,it would be a big loss to reveal them at this early stage.So i will take all holy power users to catch up to Army 3.''

''This means army will be split,both in numbers and factions.''Said Auber.Raiden was frowning.''What will you do about the recruits?''This was an important matter.Unlike believers,Most of the recruits were forced to join.So them acting wild and irresponsible without his presence was a certainty.And matter wouldn't be solved by just deciding another leader.

Auber nodded in approval.He also thought this was a very risky situation.Pale coast was already in great peril while posts were feeling more and more pressure.High rank demons started to appear more often while they were continously losing their peak level forces.If this kept going on,army wouldn't have a meaning.Most of the commoners thought that Holy Army was the man force for this war.But they were deeply wrong.

Adventurers guild was the main force that binded all the other races and forces together.Not only they had much more wealth than great families of Western Deserts,it was also filled to the brim with talented,fearless people who would love to risk their life for some fame and money.Guild was constantly posting extermination,intelligence gathering and exploration quests to make adventurers contribute to war.

So currently,they were spending away their main force's strength.Kong's eyes flashed a little like he was in control of everything,his lips hiding a slight smiling intent.''We are going like this-''
