The Royal Knights have arrived in the Royal Capital. Everyone is looking at the Royal Knights wondering if the second Prince is with them.

Someone shouted, "WHERE IS PRINCE ROGER? I WANT TO SEE HIM!"

A Royal Knight replied, "The 2nd prince is not with us."

A lot of people got angry and some are confused, they murmured

Someone said, "Why isn't Prince Roger not with them?"

"Didn't they go there to get him back?"

"Will the prince ever come back?"

"How will he save the world if he is hiding?"

"What if he's dead?"

They made a lot of questions for themselves but there was someone who has strong guts and asked the knights.

"Did you really see the 2nd prince? Or did you went there to kill him? Or maybe he's dead already, and you're just paying him a visit?" He has red hair with red eyes and there is a scar on his right cheek.

A knight replied him, "Shut your trap! That's nonsense."

The man replied, "Well, that makes sense, you will never put a scratch on him nor touch him. No one would be able to kill him. Except those Sages and the Demon King." The man turned back and added, "The prince is destined to die for the sake of this world, he should sacrifice himself for the future generation."

The prince inside the carriage heard it and opened the small window of the carriage. "Crimson."

The man stopped and looked at the prince, "I've dropped that name a long time ago. I'm not and adventurer anymore. Well then, I'm taking my leave."

"Not so fast! Where did you hear that?"

"About what?"

"About the thing that Roger should sacrifice himself for the future generation?"

"Who knows? Maybe he knows it himself. Did he not tell you?" Crimson smirked and walked away.

"..."

Jack disappeared.

~~~~~

The Royal Knights have reached the castle. The 12 Royal Captains are present in the Royal Hall including Gerald. The King is sitting in the throne and John is standing beside the King. Jerry and Gerald is kneeling down in front of the king.

The king opened his mouth, "Stand up and report to me."

Jerry spoke, "Yes, Your Majesty." Jerry looked at Gerald. Gerald nodded. Gerald looked at the king and put his hand on his chest and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the second prince has stayed in his village. He said, he would protect his people even if it costs his life. According also to him, the enemy that should appear in their village is a Demon Lord. And about the fourth prince..." Gerald looked at John then looked at the King.

The King nodded and said, "Say it."

Gerald bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty. The Fourth prince is already dead. Prince Roger said that the fourth prince is killed by an Arch Demon."

The king widened his eyes with disbelief. John looked at the King and asked him, "Your Majesty, there is a fourth prince? Who is it?"

The King went silent for a moment and then looked at John. "He is your Twin Brother, and older brother."

John was surprised and hurriedly asked, "What? Why? Why did you keep it a secret to me?" John looked at everyone inside the hall and everyone is bowing their head. John added, "Does everyone knows about it?"

No one answered him.

Jerry opened his mouth, "Because it is not yet the right time. Remember, your still 5 years old. and in fact, shouldn't you be focusing on becoming a guardian?"

"T-that's"s... Hmp!" John pouted and looked away.

Jerry then looked at the King, "And more about Shin, his son. He should be coming with us to the Royal Capital due to the incoming war. But we weren't able to take him due to his death. And also..."

Jerry hesitated to continue. The king opened his mouth, "Speak. Tell it to me."

"About Tom."

All of the Royal Captains looked at Jerry.

Tom was never considered as a prince, because he is only a half child, but he was a strong force for the royal capital. He was a captain but because of Roger's freedom and and Jerry's position, he got jealous and looked for greater power to at least surpass Roger. Until, he met Astaroth.

The king squinted his eyes and said, "What about Tom?"

"Tom is dead and he has a son. Which is a demon. His son is currently living with Roger. Roger said, Tom's brat id well behaved and Ariel doesn't care about it also. His kid releases a lot of demonic power and it's similar to Tom's that's why I'm sure it's his offspring."

The king touched his beard, "Hmmm."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

~~~~~

At the same time, in the Brysver Village.

[Hmmm, there's only three of you left.]

Roger, Uriel and Shin looked at the demon. Roger stood up and used 'flight'.

Uriel hesitated for a moment, then she released her angelic wings. Her wings was beautiful.

Shin stood at the ground and shouted. "Dad! Why won't you release your wings?"

Roger looked at Shin and smiled, Roger then release his Demonic Wings.

Shin smiled and then used 'flight'.

Uriel and Roger was surprised to see that a 5 year old kid could use an ancient magic like it's nothing.

Shin looked at his parents and smiled, "No time to get surprised, let's focus on our enemy in front of us."

Uriel touched his head and said, "Really, are you really a 5 year old kid?"

"Heh." Shin smiled at Uriel like a kid who just received a present from her parents.

Abaddon suddenly spoke, [Enough chit chat! I'm sick with your shit!]

Roger replied Abaddon, [Let's settle this then.] Roger looked at Uriel and Shin. "Let's go!"

The two of them nodded.

Roger rushed towards Abaddon then Uriel and Shin followed him.

Roger summoned the Demon Decapitator and clashed with Abaddon. Uriel casted boost and healing on Roger. Meanwhile, Shin is watching them intently, waiting for his chance to strike.

Shin summoned the Demon slayer Sword and the Demon Hunter Sword. Abaddon saw the 2 Great Demon Swords Shin was holding and was surprised.

[That's... That brat!]

Roger looked at Shin and was also surprised. When he looked at Abaddon, he's gone. Roger quickly looked at Shin and Abaddon is on Shin's back.

Abaddon attacked Shin but Shin was able to block Abaddon's attack. Shin was knocked back and Abaddon attacked him again, this time, Roger parried Abaddon's attack.

Uriel healed Shin.

Roger and Abaddon clashed again. Uriel assisted Roger.

One of Roger's attack slipped through Abaddon's attack and Abaddon took a direct hit.

Abaddon puts his hand on the wound and looked at Roger.

[Even though, you're severely weakened you can still inflict some damage to me. You really are strong.]

Abaddon looked at Shin. [That brat... He can use 2 of the great demon swords with no consequences. ]

Roger looked at Shin. Abaddon quickly attacked Roger but Roger knew what Abaddon was planning.

Roger cuts off Abaddon's arm and kicked him. Shin then used a technique he just invented. "Ultimate Technique: Three Thousand Demon Worlds of Death!" Shin flew and he cut Abaddon in half. He looked at his parents and smiled.

~~~~~

Two hours earlier...

There is an old man that is looking at the sky. He has a small house good for only one person.

The old man walked in the backyard and there was a monster's meat being roasted.

As he was eating, there were group of bandits that appeared in front of him.

"Hey old man! Give us the food or I will make you regret."

The old man stood up and said, "Do you know what type of meat this is?"

The bandits was confused, one of them said, "Just give us the meat already!"

The old man smiled, "This is a meat of a Blue Mountain Bear. And I just hunted it."

All of the bandits laughed at the old man. "Do you really think we don't know? That is an expensive meat that's why we want it."

Another bandit said, "You are really a stubborn old geezer! Let's just kill him."

The old man looked at them with disappointment. Suddenly, there was blood everywhere. The head of the bandits went flying and only one remained.

"This is the problem with youngsters. They can't read the situation they're in."

The old man looked at the remaining bandit. The old man was holding a red sword and pointed it to the bandit. "Go back to your base, or you'll follow them."

The bandit ran away quickly.

The sword then turned into a person. The old man opened his mouth, "You can eat them, Devourer."

Devourer ate the bandits and asked the old man. [Why did you let that one escape?]

The old man looked at Devourer, "Don't you want more food?"

Devourer smirked, [Cheeky old man.]

A few minutes later, the surviving bandit got to their base. "Boss! Boss! I have a report."

A man that is sitting in a chair like throne is looking at the bandit. "What is it?"

"There is an old man in the East. He... He killed my team!"

The man stood up, "W-what? An old man in the East? Shit! Get ready everyone! This bunch of idiots just awakened a monster!"

Everyone was surprised and shocked. Someone asked, "What do you mean boss?"

"It's... It's the Legendary Butler!"

Everyone was surprised and got ready to escape their base.

"Damn it! This is the worst of the worst case scenario. I have already told this bunch of idiots not to go at the east."

The bandit asked the Boss of the Bandit, "W-what's going to happen to us now?"

"Shut the fuck up and just get ready to escape!"

"Y-YES BOSS!"

Everyone was panicking and rattled due to the incoming catastrophe. When they finally got out of the cave, there is an old man waiting for them. He is wearing a tattered robe and holding a red sword.

The old man looked at the bandits and opened his mouth, "I've been expecting you."

The boss exclaimed, "Damn it! We're too late!"

"Hoo.. So you're still alive huh? Bandit Killer, Gerd."

"Old geezer! I... I wasn't just able to teach this idiots a lesson so can you spare us?"

The Old man smirked and said, "Isn't it funny? You were titled the Bandit Killer and now you became a boss of a bandit." The old man looked at everyone and casted a barrier.

"No one can escape. You see, my sword is hungry right now so... Become its food."

In just under a minute everyone died. The sword turned into a person again.

The Devourer has a red skin with a blond hair, her eyes are gold.

The Devourer was eating everyone.

[I'm full! Thanks, Geezer!]

The old man is looking ay the Devourer with a serious face. The Devourer asked, [Is there something wrong geezer?]

"Have you chosen your new master?"

The Devourer became silent for a moment then talked, [Yes, he'll arrive here in 4 years.]

"Is that so? Then my time is almost coming. The Young Master is also... He's gonna die."

[The Guardian of Humanity, huh? He is the wielder of my sibling, the Decapitator.]

"I haven't asked you this before. Are you the only Great Demon Sword that can turn into a humanoid form?"

[No, all of us can turn into a humanoid form. But our master should master the sword for it to turn into a humanoid.]

"So have I mastered you already?"

[No, you have never mastered me. And no matter how many years you wield me, you'll never master me.]

"Then why did you manifest into your humanoid form?"

[Because of the souls I have devoured.]

"I see."

The Devourer turned back into a sword and disappeared.

The old man also left the place and went back to his house.

~~~~~

I looked at mother and father but both of them are serious. I opened my mouth and asked, "Why are you serious?"

Father replied, "It's not finished yet."

Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body. All of my senses are tingling and telling me to run. However, I was too late, Abaddon appeared on my back and cut me. I was blown away by the power of his swing.

"Shin!" my parents shouted. Father rushed towards Abaddon and attacked him, Abaddon blocked his attack.

Mother on the other hand, she approached me and tried to heal my but was futile. Mother was crying, "Why can't I heal you? No! Please no! The curse of the Destruction. No!"

I touched mother's face and said, "Don't worry mom, this is nothing."

"What do you mean nothing?!" She shouted while trying to heal me."

"Because I can cancel the curse of the Destruction."

"Huh?" My mother was confused.

My wound healed and stood up like nothing happened.

Mother was surprised by what he just witnessed, "H-how did you do that? Is that even possible?"

"Uhm, because I am already the master of that sword?"

"What?!"

I looked at father and he was losing. I shouted at him, "FATHER!"

Father looked at me. I continued, "Don't hesitate to use your strongest attack! That's the real Abaddon! The first 2 that we fought earlier doesn't have a heartbeat and that one have it!"

Father quickly looked at Abaddon, Abaddon is looking down and suddenly, a huge outburst of mana occured. He looked at me with dreadful eyes. [You! Brat! You've been pissing me off! Die!]
