30. The two Hero's beginnings and Maou Zef's worry about the Third(Our Raiden Shogun)

(note: Several chapters in the manga will be put here cuz its tiring just copy pasting the original manually ya know, hence I'll be narrating them mostly. I want to focus on the changed parts since it is made by my imagination engine.Argh my lazy bones are on my case again.)

Hibiki started recruiting allies, Mercenary Navarre the Silver Ogre, Mage Woody, Knight Belda Norst Limia(1st prince disguising as a knight due to his crush to Hibiki), and Support Priestess Chiya. Their group slowly grew stronger as time passes, with their first complete defeat against The Black Calamity(Mio). They threw all attacks against it, unfortunately most of their attacks are ineffective and their trump cards can sever its legs only for it to instantly regenerate back to normal. The fight completely drained Hibiki, in the end they were defeated but luckily they were spared. This didn't discourage Hibiki and her Comrades, but drive them to be stronger more so on Hibiki. This event made them more popular to the people of Limia because no one was able to fight The Black Calamity to exhaustion and survived due to them ending up as food to the spider. This reached the Maou's ears and assesed Hibiki's potential as a threat to the Demon Kingdom

The hero on Gritonia on the other hand, is a pretty boy with insecurities who got easily duped by the Goddess. His name is Iwahashi Tomoki and just like Hibiki, he also receive Items from the Goddess and unique skills such as Charm Eye to make anyone his slaves( of course it only works on average and above average level individuals) and an Immortality that works only during the night on full moon. Just like what the Goddess did the second imperial princess of Gritonia Lily Front Gritonia is also using him for her own agenda, unlike Hibiki who gained her comrades through her charisma, Tomoki gained his through his Charm Eye as he is not yet proficient in using it.

Maou Zef and his Generals' assesment of him is a hero with stronger mana than Hibiki and a weapon of the Gritonia Empire.

But the third is the one Maou Zef is worried about the most, he can sense the two heroes but the third he can't or to be more specific not anymore after one day it vanished. What the Maou didn't know is that the third has already been sent back by Ei and she herself can easily conceal her presence simply through fine control of her power to blend to the surroundings, rather than removing it entirely creating a suspicious blank space.

And what the two factions(Humans and Demons) didn't know is that a third is born and its leader is the Almighty Shogun. And in the future the power balance will be broken and to be reassembled again even with the Inazuma's neutral stance on the matter.

But for now Ei and everyone in Inazuma has their own little issues to solve.
