Ravan then came out of his room and found himself standing in front of hades, shevi, and baali they all bowed to show respect seeing them he said: "Haha, you look good in that dress hades ".
Hades embarrassingly nods and then they all move out of the cave towards the chariot Which is prepared by Horton the chariot is pulled by marich to show the power and glory of their soon-to-be kingdom.
Ravan bids farewell to Horton and ayur as they will not join in this visit Horton for obvious reasons and ayur because Jenny and he will have a tour in the mines for the 'Vida' herbs.
The journey was uneventful as nothing happened after some time they all saw a huge white marble gate on which 'shero' is carved and embedded with gold. They also saw many guards standing at front of the main gate which they all assume to be the entrance.
All the guards have worn the armor which has a sigil of 'S'. He also sees several ballistae and weapons placed on the wall for the protection of the citizens. He became surprised at the level of security they have. looking at them he thinks of his tribe " we need to do more work ".
As they came closer to the entrance they saw more magnificent beauty of this structure. After they reach the entrance they were greeted by four figures two of them were known to them the two were Hilda and zert.
They all greet ravan " welcome his majesty Ravan to the shero tribe. majesty James is waiting for you inside ".
They all then greeted each other after that ravan with his subordinate walked towards the castle placed in the center of the city. They see various people standing on each side of the road and showering them with flowers to welcome them hades and marut became nervous as they were not used to this kind of attention even ravan himself but he kept to himself and did not show it on his face.
" Haha, you were the first guest of the shera tribe so they all were excited to welcome you. Please consider this as your own home " Hilda said.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally reach the center of the city. The center of the city once again confirms to ravan that this world is far more advanced than his earth. The houses and shops are all we're of marble pure black marble with various gold and silver designs. The structures were so unique and amazing that the group even forget their purpose for the visit.
"Horton would be so happy to see all of this " hades said and all of them nodded. Hilda and others nod in pride as they like people commenting about their house's beauty. As they move forward they saw a long boarded road and on both sides of the road were houses and shops. Peoples cheer for their town guests and shower them with flowers.
Ravan seeing the happiness of the people thinks that James must be a nice king as he can see the respect he holds in the eyes of his subjects. They were so warm and welcoming as if they were not the kingdom or king James' guests but their guests which make him happy. " But he is a wired person".
After a short while they finally reached the palace. " well, I don't accept it to be fancier than this " said hades as in front of them were James' beautiful black marble castle which glisten in the day. One can imagine how difficult it is for people to see it at night Hades jokingly asked to nama " it must be hard to find your castle location at night right ".
" no, because we got a clear eye unlike someone," nama said with a smirk. " oh, wanna see how sharp that someone's eye is, " hades said as he look at him. "not now, I have work to complete unlike someone who had nothing to do but just to challenge anyone ".
As their small bickering was going on the whole group reached the main entrance and there they saw James and his other minister standing for their welcome.As they reach ravan came down from his chariot and greet him.
" Welcome welcome, King ravan. Welcome to shero kingdom " James said to which ravan nodded and smiled and then they both proceeded to go inside the castle.
The interior of the castle is like a sun captured inside a black box the white marble form which the castle interior was made is quite amazing it has medieval vintage style furniture and looks.
James then look at ravan and said " before I start with all other things The first thing I want to finish is our work.
Let's go ".
Everyone followed him silently and after a few minutes, they reach the basement of the castle where they found a huge door made up of iron.
The door has many crying people engraved on it and they all were looking right up into the sky where they found a small ball of light.
"am I the only one who is getting this ominous feeling from this door," asked hades. "definitely not," said marut as he too get this ominous feeling about this.
James then gives a nod to the guards present there and they then nod before opening the door. Behind the door, they only see the dark hallway which gets a little light from the torchwood placed at each side of the wall.
Hilda then give everyone one potion and said " please have this. It will increase our vitality which is very important to have before going inside ".
[ potion: vitality potion.
Grade: Rare
Helps to increase the vitality of the user ]
After scanning the potion ravan raise an eyebrow as this was a rare-grade potion. " are you sure? This is a rare grade potion ."
" Haha, don't worry because this will be the last time we will be using this and this thing is nothing in comparison to what you will be going to give us,
Let's go " saying that James starts walking towards the hallway.
His words confuse ravan and his subordinates but after drinking it they follow suit. As walking for a few minutes they finally reach the end of the hallway and the scene before them shocks everyone expects James.
" so this is their fate," nama said as he look at his majesty standing there.
The cave has a rocky floor and four pillars supporting the rocky roof the cave. In the center, one can see a platform being made whose height is not too high and at the top of the platform, one can see a huge ball of white light that is kept inside an iron cage.
Around the platform, there were several dead bodies of different species some were elves some were dwarfs some were humans and many more. The body was recognizable due to their rotten condition as they had thought James without even looking at them says " yes you all were right in your thought. Their life force has been sucked dry by that white light which I call 'the guillotine of life '. All these bodies that you are seeing are of the peoples who somehow found the way to enter this barrier and some were the gullible tongue that claim themselves to be the true demon king ".
The sentence shocks ravan and his subordinates more than anyone.
"How the hell in the right mind will claim that he is a demon king when the entire world is looking for your head," said hades as he said that baali give a little whack at the back of his head and then point at ravan who is weirdly looking at him.
" so sorry majesty. Please forgive me " hades immediately said to which nama snorted. James then continued " yes, who would but they did but non of them passed my test and as a punishment for destroying my hope I bring them here forcefully. Now, look at them look at their eyes which were filled with arrogance become a hollowness, lifeless carcass ".
All these talks sent shivers down ravan spine as he couldn't fathom the cruelty which James can easily do. He silently thanks his luck that he somehow pass his test otherwise he would be the next person joining in those piles of bodies.
Ravan then try to scan the white light but all he got is [ no scan available for this object. Please do the quest and obtain the information ]. " yeah I am the worst main character whose luck is so bad to get this system it's literary useless. Sigh .. ".
" sir ravan, this is the reason I invited you here and also to take the test. You see why I am being this cruel to these people is because if I don't be then I have to lose my people and my ...revenge ".
" Before I say what you have to do and why you have to do I am asking the final question to you, sir Ravan... Are you a true demon king and will you be able to sacrifice your life for your people," James said.
