New Heroes

{Two years later...}

{In the throne room of Felexin...}

Inside the bright throne room adorned with golden armor, ornate weapons, and bright marble statues of men.

Emperor Ferdinand Vix Erzis sit on the golden throne with a red velvet cushion. He looks at the paper reading a report that give him a concerned look.

"Emperor Ferdinand, the Angel Prime has sensed the Blood Count earlier, but is too far for any of us to give chase. Judging from the direction, it may be heading to Nyctala." Gravius said. "Seeing that the Blood Count slew the soldiers of that church easily before we arrived, it should not be underestimated."

"Blood Count...we haven't had a vampire at this stage 50 years ago. It reminds me of the Bloodhails. Even though they're the weakest in terms of power, they're numerous and is still threatening. But the Bloodhails never had a vampire that is a Blood Viscount for 100 years." Ferdinand thought to himself.

However, it was Ferdinand's speculation due to his limited knowledge of the Bloodhails.

"Emperor Ferdinand, the hero and his companions has arrived." one of the knights announced.

"Bring them in." Ferdinand said.

The knights at the door promptly opened them, letting out a low creaking sound.

Five figures walk forward towards Emperor Ferdinand and stands with composure.

The left most is a girl with purple and yellow mage dress with a amethyst laurel with roses. Her black hair drapes over her shoulders.

The right side of her is a guy with a red coat and black pants wielding a silvery white sword. He has reddish brown hair and brown eyes.

The right most is a girl with heavy white armor with a giant mace and a tower shield. The other one to the left is also a girl who wears tight fitting clothes and golden gauntlets.

Lastly, the middle is a boy with short black hair wearing golden armor with a lion's head on the breastplate. He wields a longsword with a winged guard. Wings on his back, heels and the helmet.

"These are the information they have, Emperor Ferdinand." one of the attendants said.

Ferdinand takes the paper and reads the information.

"Incredible...a hero able to use the sword and elemental magic..." Ferdinand thought to himself. He smiled thinking that the vampire that invaded the church could very well be dealt with before the vampire evolves even further.

"Your name is Hiiro Amakane?" Ferdinand asked.

"Yes, Emperor Ferdinand." Hiiro replied.

"Then there is a task I must give you all. There is a vampire, a Blood Count to be exact was sighted northeast of the church. I will give you 200 knights and mages to help you along with your task, including generals." Ferdinand said.

"Is it a Tyrant? I have Tyrant Seeker." Hiiro said.

"Tyrants are just as scarce as Heroes, so it is unlikely. However, do be wary of them regardless." Ferdinand said.

"After we slay the Blood Count, we have to find the Demon King, right?" Ryohei asked.

"Yes, find the Demon King to save the world from destruction. May the deities guide you." Ferdinand said.

Hiiro and his companions nodded and left the throne room. As the door closes, Ferdinand lets out an exhausted sigh.

"Lord Ferdinand, no kingdom haven't seen a Demon King, much less a Demon Lord since the Dark Era. Is it wise to give them such a rumor?" one of the attendants whispered in his ear.

"It's just that they're saying repeating Demon King and especially that Hiiro boy saying 'justice' whenever he get's the chance." Ferdinand replied, rubbing his forehead wearily from speaking with the Outworlders.

"Still, I hope this rumor remains unfounded." Ferdinand said as he leans his back on the throne, looking up at the ornate ceiling. "For I fear another Dark Age may come sooner than we expect."
