Dragna Kingdom, more specifically 10,000 ft above it, there was an ancient looking altar.

On this altar, Rouge sat crossed leg in a mediation position.

Around him were several miniature worlds floating around.

“It's been three years since Lisa Flameheart ran off with Zanis Zebul.”

He opened his eyes and saw a pair of emotionless purple eyes staring at him.

“It can't be helped. It seems like Ouroboros hid them somewhere. It will take time for even me to find them.”

“....I just want to be of use to you.”

“Oh? Do you want to be of use to me as my wife or as my servant?”

“……Both?”

“Hey, don't look so confused.”

Rouge sighed and stood up and stretched his body.

“Well, I just found them.”

A miniature world floated towards Celina. There was a red spot indicating a certain location.

“Should I prepare a hunting squad?”

“No. Send Karim, he's been bugging me about joining the hunt. Have him work with the Flamehearts, and organized his own team. Oh, tell him to bring Dario along as well. It should serve as good experience for him as the future king.”

“Yes.”

Even though Celina acknowledged the order, she still didn't move to carry it out.

“What’s wrong?”

“It's about Dario….”

“Are you still against him becoming king?”

Celina nodded.

“Karim is older, and stronger. So I believe that he should make a great king.”

“It's true that Karim would make a more ideal king, that's obvious to anyone.”

“Then…”

“However, doesn't it interest you what kind of king he would become. Dario has a unique way of thinking. He’ll probably make an interesting Kingdom. Although I'm sure it will go through a tough period for a time, but if he overcomes it he'll able to create a kingdom never seen before.”

“Aren't you just hoping that he'll entertain you?”

For the first time there was a hint of emotion in Celina’s voice. The dark aura seeping from her body was a clear indication that she was angry.

“Fine. I'll give Dario a 10 year trial as king. If he doesn't improve the kingdom's current state I'll strip him of his title and take full control and rebuild the kingdom myself. Since Karim doesn't wish to become king anyway.”

Rouge smiled.

“Is that okay?”

Celina said nothing and disappeared again, leaving a sighing Rouge behind.

Meanwhile at Ouroboros’s World.

A woman with long emerald hair, walked through the village in her white dress.

“Good morning, Miss Lisa.”

“Morning, Lisa.”

“Good morning, Lady Lisa.”

Lisa was greeted by several members of the village while she walked.

“Good morning, everyone.”

Lisa greeted them with a smile.

In the three years she's been here she became popular with the villagers, because of her beautiful hair color and her bright personality.

Another reason for her popularity was because she's the wife of their new leader.

“Yo, Lisa.”

Owen, who was happily talking with a woman, saw Lisa and approached her.

“Out for a walk?”

“Yeah. Zanis is out in the plains with Ouroboros. So I'm walking around to pass the time.”

“Is Luka with them?”

“She is. Zanis said that she was surprisingly showing signs of using magic already, so he wanted give her a small test.”

“Really? Isn't she just a little over one? No matter how much you think about it isn't it too early?”

“I said the same thing, but Ouroboros insisted saying that he wanted to test the effects of his blood in her. He said that Zanis was his only Proxy that was able to sire an Ouroboros bloodline different from his own. So he wanted to check if there was a difference between the rate she and his descendants develops.”

“Is that so?”

Lisa nodded, and then she suddenly looked like she thought of something.

“Since I don't have anyone to talk to, would you like to be my walking partner, Owen?”

“I don't mind, but I'm not sure if the Clan Leader will like that.”

“Zanis won't mind.”

“You say that, but didn't he break a guy's legs because he hit on you when he wasn't around?”

“Yeah. He's so cute when he's jealous.”

Lisa said while grinning.

‘Cute? The man I saw that day, was nowhere near cute. That was a demon I tell you….Ah, he’s an actual demon. I forgot.’

“Besides, he’s in debt to you for helping him reach [XX Class]. He won't be disrespectful towards you.”

Owen shook his head at Lisa's words.

“No. He would've still reached [XX Class] without my help. He's that talented. After all, he's the Proxy of our Progenitor. There's no limit to his growth.”

Owen smiled and continued.

“Plus I think it's because of you and Luka that he became so strong.”

“Us?”

He nodded.

“When he found out that you were pregnant, his desire for strength multiplied ten folds. Because of that he was able to tap into the power of infinity, and broke through to [XX Class].”

Owen placed his hand on Lisa's head.

“I should be the one to thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to meet our father and an awesome brother. Thanks Lisa for making Zanis fall for you.”

Owen’s words caused Lisa to blush because of embarrassment.

“I was actually the one who fell in love first. He didn't even remember me when we were reunited.”

“Hahahha!”

“Hey, don't laugh! You don't know how heartbroken I was. But I made sure to hide it. If it wasn't for Zanis taking the initiative to seduce me, I would probably still be locked up in my room crying.”

“Sorry. It's just that even though Zanis is an amazingly scary person, he still has his clumsy ways. That's why I gladly gave him the position of Clan leader when he reached [XX Class].”

“He was quite troubled by it, you know.”

Lisa said with a sigh.

“Well, he said that he'll ask Zara to put this place under his protection when he brings me and Luka back to the Zebul Empire’s Imperial City.”

“Ah, he told me about that too. Apparently, this Zara guy is one of strongest Proxies in the world, and that if he announces us as his retainers, not even Odin’s Proxy, the War Sage Stein or Zeus’s Proxy Black Heavens Eris will be able to touch us so easily. Even though I don't know who those people are. But they sound important.”

“Well, Zara is considered the strongest Demon Proxy after Dante of The Nine Hells, so not many would oppose him.”

Owen had a confused expression as he heard another important sounding name.

He opened his mouth to say something, when he saw a youth with a panic expression.

“Owen! Lisa!”

“What's wrong, Isco?”

Owen asked the youth.

“W-We’re surrounded!”

“What?!”

Seeing that, he would cause a scene if they talked here, Owen suggested that they moved somewhere with fewer people.

They moved to Lisa's and Zanis's home that was nearby.

Owen was able to calm Isco down and made him sit down.

“Now tell me, what is going on?”

“It was my turn use the observation mirror to observe the surroundings in the outside world. But when I did all I could see was the face of an unknown person with purple and azure hair.”

‘The Dragna Clan!’

Lisa thought while clenching her fists.

Isco continued.

“He winked at me and then I was able to see outside again.”

He gulped and slowly spoke.

“What I saw was a sea of people armed with all kinds of weapons surrounding the mountain that leads to us!”

“It's my fault. They're here because of me.”

Lisa spoke before Owen could react to Isco’s words.

She stood up from her seat.

“If what Isco said is true then you all might die today because of me.”

Lisa moved went inside a room before Owen could speak to her. After around a minute, she came back out but Owen was unable to tell what she did in the room.

She moved towards the exit.

“Wait.”

But Owen stepped in the way and stopped her.

“What are you going to do?”

“I'm going to negotiate with them.”

“Don't be stupid. Let's wait until the Clan Leader and Father comes back and then we'll decide what to do together.”

“I can't wait! It has to be now or everyone will die!”

Owen was taken aback by Lisa's sudden shout.

“What do you mean?”

“There are only three people in the Dragna Clan that have Azure and Purple hair that I know of. The Walking Apocalypse, Rouge Dragna. The Demon Dragon Emperor, Nero, and finally his son The Devil’s Joker, Rihan. They all have twisted personalities. If they find out that you guys hid me from them for so long, they'll slaughter all of you!”

Owen's eyes opened wide when he heard that.

“Then that's even more of a reason for us to wait for the Clan Leader!”

“I'm telling you we can't! All three of the persons I just named are [XXX Class]! But that wouldn't matter to Zanis! He would definitely fight them all, if it's to prevent them from taking me!”

“But-”

“I don't want Zanis to die because of me!”

Lisa's shout caused Owen to shut up.

“If Zanis fights either one of them he'll definitely die! I don't want that! If Zanis dies I'm dying too! Do you want us all to die together?!”

Owen couldn't answer.

“The only reason why anyone of you is still alive right now is because they're giving me a chance to surrender. Otherwise this world would've became a graveyard already!”

Lisa pushed Owen out of the way. Even though she was clearly weaker than him, he couldn't bring himself to try to overpower her. He felt like the Lisa current now possess a method to kill him if he tried to stop her.

He knew it was groundless assumption, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Lisa did something dangerous when she went inside the room. Even though she spent less than a minute.

“Shit!”

He cursed his momentary cowardice.

“Isco, go tell Zanis and our father what's going on!”

“Y-Yes! But what are you going to do Owen?”

Owen put on a determined expression and said-

“I'm going to go with Lisa and protect with her my life!”

Meanwhile in the outside world, Karim and Maria stood side by side and watched the cave that led to the world Ouroboros created.

“Are sure that this is going to work?”

Maria asked.

Karim nodded and answered.

“My grandfather said that he'll intercept the observation tool that they have in that world and purposely show his face to them, and then the sea of people surrounding them. This will cause whoever watching their surroundings to panic and search for someone of high authority. Since Ouroboros is a god there shouldn't be none with more authority than him. So the person will automatically seek him out, or someone close to him.”

“Like Lisa and Zanis.”

“That's right. He's betting on Lisa deducing that he's out here, which will cause her to panic. Since she's a Flameheart, she'll definitely put Zanis's safety first and come meet us of her own free will. The best case scenario is that she comes alone and tries to negotiate. If that happens we'll able to end this hunt without a single casualty.”

“I hope so.”

“Brother, she's here.”

Dario who was behind them pointed at the cave entrance.

They saw Lisa and an unknown man there.

“[XX Class] just like me. That's quite the bodyguard she have there.”

Karim said while smiling.

He threw a metallic short spear towards Dario.

“Father said that I should give you this MYTH’s Odin Series Gungnir for your protection. As you know it's a one use weapon, but in exchange it allows you the fire power to fatally wound someone a [Class] or so above you if used right. So make sure you use it wisely. Those things are pretty expensive.”

Dario nodded and gripped the spear.

Karim then turned and faced Lisa.

“I am the first prince of the Dragna Kingdom's royal family! Lisa Flameheart we are here by law to return you to your clan!”

Lisa frowned when she heard Karim’s declaration. She scanned the sea of people for a while and grimaced.

“Neither Nero, Rouge, nor Rihan are here. But my aunt Maria’s here, so they still have at least have one [XXX Class].”

“That's one too many.”

Owen said with a wry smile.

“You didn't have to come you know.”

“And have your death on my conscience? No way. I know that you have no intention of negotiating with these people. Besides you're already married with a kid. I'm sure they'll flip when they hear that.”

Lisa smiled bitterly.

“I'm already used goods to them anyway. They probably want to bring me back to regain some face. I doubt they still want to marry me off.”

“Hahahaha. I guess you're right. Oh, they look impatient. You probably should address them.”

Lisa nodded and stepped out and spoke.

“I only need to know one thing before I tell you whether I'm coming home or not.”

Lisa took a deep breath before shouting.

“What do you intend to do with my husband?!”

“Husband?!”

Maria gritted her teeth and stepped out.

“Your ‘husband’ has spat in the face of both the Flameheart Clan and the Dragna Clan! He's already recognized as an enemy of the kingdom!”

Hearing Maria's hate-filled words Lisa closed her eyes and softly muttered.

“I see. Then there's no turning back after all.”

She then opened her eyes and took something out of her pocket.

It was the [Necklace Of Bael].

She then turned to Owen.

“I know I have no right to ask this of you after only knowing you for three years. But can you please fight this dying battle with me?”

“Hahaha! No problem! We're family, it's only natural to fight with your family!”

Lisa smiled wryly, and put the necklace around her neck.

“Sorry. I'm not even your wife.”

“Don't worry about it. My wife would kill me if she knew I ran away to save myself.”

Owen cracked his fingers.

“Besides, I'm only buying time until your Prince Charming arrives!”

His body then released a dreadful aura that made most of the people surrounding the mountain tremble.

When Karim felt it, a big grin appeared on his face.

“Sorry. But I want to end this before he gets here.”

Lisa gripped the necklace and exhaled slowly. And Then-

“[My Name Is Bael]!”

She signaled one of the bloodiest battle that the Silver Continent has seen in the last hundred years.
