The Duke's Decision

-----

The Duke suddenly realized that if he were to be a fool like that one Duke, he would end up lamenting everything at the end… Demons were not something that could be taken lightly, even less a presumed Demon Gate.

Demons were present in the wild everywhere in the world, but when there were such high concentrations of them in a small area such as that forest… then bad things could happen and that could mean a total invasion from demons coming out of their accursed Demon Gates, which connect directly to the "Demon World" as the people of Spiritias calls Hell.

"Damn demons… Even to this age when their Demonic Towers are sealed and there are large cities around them where Adventurers constantly thin out their numbers… They're still coming to the mainland using their damned Gates…" He sighed. "This… will be a long-term investment, but I suppose I cannot act foolishly and arrogantly if this is really what's happening there."
