"Well then... That's over with for the trip towards the Capital of Demonic Beasts..."

Serra reappeared in a forest near the place where he left Maya.

"For the Demon King... I suppose I'll make a sword."

Serra said to himself while thinking.

He raised his hand. Near his hand, a blue glow shined brightly for a few moments.

The light faded revealing an ornamental blue sword.

This blue sword was beautiful to behold.

A flower was the style of it's hilt. It's blade shone a blue luster.

Yet, one could feel the great depth of power within it.

This sword was one for killing.

A sword that severes ones life without life.

"This should do."

Serra waved his hand and contained the sword in his spacial ring.

"Time to meet Maya... Speaking of which, I did say I'd take a servant... I suppose Sirene should suffice for that."

Serra took a step.

In an instant, he reached Maya.

Maya was playing with flowers at the moment.

"Hello."

"Hya!"

Maya let out a high-pitched scream and dropped the flowers she was holding.

"M-Master! Don't startle me like that!"

Maya said blushing furiously.

"Ignore the trivial stuff."

Serra spoke indifferently.

But there was amusement in his eyes.

Maya glared at him.

He may be stronger than her, but as a girl, she can't stand this embarassement.

"Someone will reach here soon. Someone who knew me from long ago. Aside from her, there are two others. After they arrive, we'll leave."

"?"

Serra then walked slowly towards a tree and slept there.

Maya glared at him while still blushing but took this opportunity to regain her composure.

After some time, a woman with nine-tails and two girls arrived.

Maya was stunned when they appeared.

This woman was Sirene! The left-hand of the Demon King Arsin and a Rank 14 Demonic Beast far stronger than her! As for the two girls, although they wore luxurious clothing, she ignored them. They were just brats.

Just a bunch of ants she could easily crush.

"Oh, you're already here."

Serra woke up from his nap and drowsily shook himself.

The two girls looked wearily at him and the girl near him.

They were the twin princesses of the Recquir Empire, Eisel and Meileen Recquir. They both had light blue hair and sapphire eyes. They had the same features.

They were very suspicious and puzzled on why they were taken here.

They were recently taken prisoner and were staying in their rooms when suddenly, one of the Demon King's generals appeared and took them both here.

"Ah, I'm Serra Recquir. I'm here to take you two back home."

They were startled. Why would someone call himself the same name as their legendary ancestor?

"What? Who are you esteemed senior?"

Eisel spoke.

"I just spoke... I'm Serra Recquir. Founder of the Recquir Empire and your ancestor."

Serra kindly repeated himself.

They didn't believe him.

"He's speaking the truth... Also, he just forged a truce between humans and demonic beasts just now."

""What!?""

A truce?

The war between the two races were just starting.

How could there a truce now?
