Kurem pov

His Majesty created us for one purpose and that is to serve him; he assigned each of us to the guardians as a second in command.

I was assigned to master zeberu our own battalion commander and the strongest among the guardians and this morning as I was on my way to my duty he asks me if could go down because there's a bug trying to destroy the newly built tower.

As I enter the portal to the tower, I was contemplating on how to kill them without damaging their hearts. My specialty in killing is destroying everything in my way so I think I will be having a hard time on this.

As I appeared the 20th floor of the tower, one of the guards who are assigned to this floor acknowledges me. Then from here I asked him to transfer me to the first floor because taking down stairs would be longer than using the transfer which is one of the guard’s skills.

As I appeared outside the tower, I saw the deities of the tower having a good time on killing the enemy, when one of the leaders told the soldiers to retreat, they went back outside from the territory which his Majesty set for the deity to not go outside beyond the limit.

They must know already the limitations of our barrier that’s why they retreated where the beast clan cannot advance further.

“Karuka, " I called the tiger beast with a big pearl necklace hanging on his neck.

“What brought you here, kurem? " Karuka had an irritated look as he saw me.

“Don’t be like that, I was here to see you....?" I teased him a little since it is fun to toy with him sometimes.

He seemed to be annoyed as he heard me, but he keeps silent since he knows already why I am here, he must be informed by master zeberu.

“anyways, your enjoying on killing them one by one when you can kill them easily in one strike," I asked Karuka.

" I just did that to pass time since we have nothing to do here," He exclaims.

Karuka is one of the leaders of the beast clan which his Majesty took in before. He was arrogant and confident in his power that's why he can talk to me like that.

In busuana the system of command are in follows, his Majesty as the supreme ruler, the guardians next to him, and the demon lords and below from us are the clan leaders.

" master zeberu wants to end this immediately so he send me here, and ohh there's one thing I'd like you to do after I will kill them, gather all their hearts and put inside the box that I will going to give you."

“Don’t worry; it is just a small task, by the way,

Why do you need to gather their hearts?" Karuka looks at me with suspicious eyes.

“Well, it's not of your concerns, so let's start with this so I could go up immediately the air here seems to be polluted." I walk towards where the end of the barrier is and warned them.

I cast a wide range magic which will decapitate them since I need their hearts still beating.

A wide magic circle appeared in front of a hundreds of soldiers and in one second they collapse on the ground  as I was about to cast it again to the remaining camps, I was prevented by a restriction type of  magic.

Big roots emerge from the grounds and tied me from my feet up to my throat.

Hmm, it seems that they had someone who can play with me for a while, I use [decayed] to the roots and it suddenly turned brown and then breaks off to my body.

Then I saw the old man in a distance who just about to cast a fireball at me. As I saw it I also cast a fireball to see if he can destroy mine.

As the two fireballs collided, a big explosion took place and a big smoke covered the area, as the smoke faded away, my fireball still advancing towards the old man.

As he realizes that my magic is stronger than him, he instantly uses a shield; a translucent barrier appeared in front of him.

But even after doing that, it does not completely defend him because after the smoke fades away some parts of his barrier was tattered and broken into pieces.

I prepared my next attack, but I was blocked by a bright light and blinded us for the moment. When I open my eyes the remaining soldiers and the old man disappeared and all was left are the dead bodies which been hit by my magic earlier.

“shit, they escape. Master zeberu will gonna kill me for this!”

I did not expect for them to use petty tricks like that but if I will be in their situation I would use the same methods.

As i use my detection magic, I can’t sense them anymore; maybe they were out of the radius that's why they were not detected but I wonder why they easily disappeared like that and even if they manage to escape for that short moment They won't be able to run that far unless one of them holds a world class items that enable them to teleport.

Hmm, this is bad. I need to rush back to busuana.

"Karuka, gather all their hearts now and do it fast. I have an urgent matter to report to, so I want you to collect the heart of these people and bring them to busuana. I will leave you in charge for this, ok" I went back to the 20th floor as I use the portal, I transported back to the room that connects to busuana then I appeared in front of the the iron door then I use the communication ring which his majesty provide to contact master zeberu.

"Ohh kurem, did you finished collecting the ingredients I need?". Master Zeberu replied the moment I used the ring.

"Master zeberu, there's an alarming situation that I need to report, may I know where you are right now?". I asked him urgently.

"Come directly to the laboratory, I will wait for you here."

After that, I flew as fast as I can to the laboratory of master zeberu located at the darkest and the deepest part of the castle where we do the experiments and making   a high-class scroll.

As I reach there, master zeberu was sitting on the porch while waiting for me.

“Master, I have something to report to you that I think is alarming," I speak the moment I arrived.

"What report do you have that you rushed from here and not able to finish the task that I gave to you?" Master Zeberu had been angry a little as he spoke to me.

“as I battle with the humans below, I happen to discover that one of them possess a world class item. And the item they used is the teleportation scroll though I’m not sure if it’s the one  I assumed." The face of master became distorted as he heard me.

“What? And I guess that they escape, how is that possible when you can just kill them with one strike  ?"

"I'm sorry master, but when I about to finish them, they used light blindness to help them escape and when my sight recovered they gone already and my detection can't trace them anymore," I added.

" Hmmm, that's quite alarming, based on what we don't know about the humans below we can't guarantee if we have another battle with them so for the meantime I will propose a plan to his majesty, they may have more than one world class items.  So we should be careful in dealing with them next time." Master Zeberu exclaims.

As master zeberu bid me farewell and left the room, I stayed there to receive the ingredients I asked for the beast clan.

Meanwhile zeberu teleported to the throne room.

Kurinai pov

"Your majesty, the army of feloria arrived at the location of   busuana before, and they also discovered the tower." zeberu who just entered the office reported me.

"That’s expected, but why are you reporting the obvious?" I replied.

"The problem is that, while one of our people had a battle with them, they use a world class item that made them escape in the middle of the battle".

"What? then why did you just reported it now?" I asked him while I suddenly rose from my seat.

“the Intel has just arrived, your majesty, so I’m sorry if I did not look it into consideration." he bowed his head as he could not look at me straight.

"No, it’s my fault, don’t be sorry about it. the situation reversed as the world class item  revealed so we need to be extra careful, the only thing we do for now is  to change the location of the tower." i shared my plans to him since he’s the only one who can give me a detailed plan for anything.

"and we don’t know if they will gonna ask  help from another kingdom and that’s what we should worry for," as i recalled back when this was still a game, world class items are so rare that only few among the players could possess it, the item will be given only, if the management had an event or special quest which only given if you finished your master quest.

that’s why possessing one mean that you have an advantage over your enemy, as I was in the game, I forgot that in this world everything became so different, the moment that the NPC started to think of their own as if they were human or maybe I’m just ignorant that i could do everything since i have a great amount of power.

I’m must be ignorant   letting myself fooled that i am the strongest here, in fact, i don’t know anything in this world.

“now let’s do this differently, tell everyone on the tower to return back, I will destroy the tower and create one in another place so postpone the villager to export their goods for the meantime, we will wait until the situation is stable.” I dismissed zeberu after that, and then I walked outside the office.

Zeberu pov

Right after I made back to the laboratory I used the communication scroll to contact the beast clan below, I was stupefied by his majesty decision, I thought we will be fighting them or destroy the kingdom but it turned the opposite way.

Now that we don’t have a floor to guard on, our life became ordinary and boring and I miss the fight since we created for a battle, everything became dull and boring.

But I won’t follow everything his majesty order, though I was loyal to him, it doesn’t mean that I will do good things to this lowly humans.

I went back to the laboratory where I created something that even his majesty doesn’t know about.
