Chapter 107 - Demon War

After everyone gave Mogranius a warm welcome, King Michael reminded them that they can call his castle their home and led them towards the Castle as Dusk was very near. The Castle being a place more private, it is perfect for discussing the war against demons.

Before they made their way to the Castle, a Fisherman approached Mogranius with the special spear he had 246 years ago and gently handed it to him. There is no way to use that spear now, it was rusty, bent and very old, but everytime Mogranius would glance at it, it would remind him of his rather insane and funny father.

As they entered the dining room in the castle they got served some tea first by the Kind oldish maid ladies who yes, work for fish.

Tea isn't something hard to obtain even though considering their financial income is flat.

There is a forest near them, the forest of which occupies 60% of the Continent where there isn't Snow.

Breaking the silence was Mogranius, he came straight to the point without wasting a precious second.

"I'm aware you all aren't so sure what happened to me in this rather short adventure. Let me start from the beginning."

"Do tell. But next time if you don't take me with you to your crazy adventures, i'll be mad."

Pointed out Commander Alia in a friendly tone as she gently rubbed her face on his upper arm. She missed him so much and is extremely happy that he is well and alive that even a leach wouldn't be able to compete with her in this case.

"I will drag all of you to my adventures don't worry."

"Tell me how it went once you go to future adventures."

Added Stefan making it clear that he doesn't want to be anywhere around Demons. The last Demon they met gave him a bit of a phobia even though she didn't technically hurt them.

"Such admirable bravery."

Said Mogranius in sarcasm and continued

"However, my father who I thought died 246 years ago due to a fishing accident, was actually somehow called down by the Source of Fire, to protect the source and he is still alive."

"Wow to have an honour like that, to be the Guardian of the source. Incredible!"

Showed Stefan his admiration for Mogranius' father instantly.

"It is an honour, but it is a burden as well. Being near the source and being given 3 Inner Demons to beat has made him go completely insane. While i was fighting off Demons with Fire, he was fighting them off with rocks hit by a stick which was surprisingly effective to be honest."

"How could he get 3 Inner Demons to beat, is he an Electus? And that form of attack sounds amazing!"

Slightly yelled Eric with a lot of enthusiasm on his eyes which felt like a gift to everyone. He looked adorable.

"I might use that attack if I face a Source Bear again.

Moving on, he isn't an Electus. But such power is a combination of spending an extended period of time near the Demonite and eating "Peaceful Demon" meat."

"You saw Demonite?"

Asked 3 of the group members except Stefan and King Michael also didn't bother to ask which raised suspicion to Stefan right away.

King Michael gave such a facial expression, showing that he could easily follow the conversation unlike the rest who had a sudden urge to scratch their heads here and there. Stefan added parts together and had a theory where this conversation was going to, King Michael.

"Demonite is a special Gem from hell as you all know. Well it isn't but a rock there but here it got infused with the Sources. One plain red gem was holding the Source of Fire while the Demon of Fire himself was turned into stone, precisely as that Demon in the woods told us. She turned out to be the Mother of all Demons like my father said."

"So she wasn't bluffing when she said that she can invade all of Ignis if she wanted too."

Added Woldemir who seemed to have remembered that sentence instead of remembering the boat load of information she gave them about the Inner Demons and how to beat them.

"Oh she can destroy earth if she pleased. I think we offended the most powerful being on earth that day. It's a surprise how she didn't feed us to her TitanoBoa."

Exclaimed Mogranius and witnessed Stefan getting shivers when he got reminded of the TitanoBoa.

"You actually saw a TitanoBoa? They are on the edge of extinction! I've been studying them for years and I only saw 2 throughout thousands of hours of hiking. It was worth the hike in every aspect, believe me!"

Explained King Michael in enthusiasm. Even his eyes expanded as he heard that name.

"Yes and I hope we don't see one again. I was eye to eye with the beast. If it wasn't for my Sword, i would be snake food now!"

Said Woldemir in a cold low tone. But as terrifying as the situation was, he didn't get a phobia or a trauma from the experience with the TitanoBoa, unlike Stefan.

"Getting back to the point people.

The Demons are managing to teleport on our World, but since teleporting from one Dimension to another is such technology that a civilization as advanced as them took ages to gain, they are teleporting here practically n.a.k.e.d, killable, weaponless and even powerless. They have "Magical Powers" too like the Mother of all Demons pointed out, but here they don't."

Said Mogranius resulting to confusing himself on what he was saying and even struggling to form proper sentences.

"Meaning we have bigger chances to fight them. You hear that Eric? We can oppose the Demons! It would be like fighting weaponless opponents!"

Slightly yelled Commander Alia in enthusiasm which was rather adorable to see as well.

"Adorable enthusiasm!"

Pointed out Mogranius which instantly made Commander Alia blush for a bit. This is indeed something only one man managed to doo.

"Yes we have chances to beat the Demons. But we need superior knowledge. Someone who has studied them for a long time."

"That Someone is King Michael. Isn't it!"

Asked Stefan who proved his theory correct after a lot of thought.
