Chapter 84

When Ramiel stood up and excused himself, he went outside to try to increase his proficiency in using the symbiotic armor and hopefully gain more out of the knowledge given by the owner of the Rune Book, while the rest of the staff went about their business, Ramiel decided to visit the forsaken forest to free more corrupted souls from the black feral and after visit the Orc Tribe until the day comes to fulfil his promise to the guild manager and the training of the knight order under the house of Ugrihron. when Loki coincidentally saw him and frantically informed him about the father and daughter Mercenary who what's to meet Lā mǐ'ěr,

"Manager Loki Ingeborg, I have to try my best to keep a low profile and continue my personal task and move to the next city,"

"I know but, I never expected that those people will come here looking for you, I know them very well, fighting is their preferred pass time, and gold is second,"

"so I know they want to test your skill and they will never stop until you satisfy their hunger,"

"ok give me two days, tell them that I will meet them at the open field a mile from the city there is an abandoned cemetery with a dilapidated church."

"thank you Ramiel, by the way, Eiresti Nimwen is also looking for you, I mean him,"

" I see her now kindly inform the Earl and the young lady about me."

Ramiel stepped outside to the guild back alley and covertly used the transfer gate to his previous chamber, while Loki waved at a guild staff member, gave them a document, and instructed him to manage the new guild members assessment test. and told to prepare the Guild carriage and after left, he went up to inform the Earl about Lā mǐ'ěr visit to his niece, the moment the door opened Eiresti has already convinced her uncle not to get involved in her plans to gain justice from those who abducted her including many innocent civilians.

Loki express his opinion on the matter and assured the Earl, his niece's decision was inclined to the rules of the land and knows that this might sound ridiculous and insignificant, but for her, this is the best way to heal her broken soul, he admires her for being brave and courageous, when

Lā mǐ'ěr entered the room by his transfer gate, and walked toward Eiresti and greeted the Earl with a bow, he responded with the same gesture and thank him for healing her only remaining family, Lā mǐ'ěr took out from his personal Dimensional storage and gave her a Mithril ore big enough to be forged as a dagger, and just said

"you shall join the Knight Order under second commander Leilatha Atinen and take part in their training under my supervision , I will let you fully utilize the weapon that you will forge from that ore,"

Eiresti Nimwen Gallien stood up and slowly walked toward him and took a knee and swore she will train hard to achieve the justice she and the rest deserve, while Loki was envious of seeing a Mithril ore freely given to her, she was emotional, but in a good way, as her uncle help her up and saw that she was no longer the fragile young sweet niece, he now saw what did those vile, corrupt, and lawless individuals have done to change his niece,

The moment Lā mǐ'ěr saw her determination in her eyes, he turned around and vanished. and went to the forsaken forest and stood in a familiar place, it was the mesa where the Orcs he helped before now resides, Warrior Orcs who were patrolling the area saw him and were about to address him when Ramiel just dashed toward the direction of the Sacred Root,

"Alpha you know what to do, send out your Shadows to gather the necessary information with our friends ,"

"done!"

Alpha ran next to Ramiel and in full Gehenna form, as they both scan the area for their true targets, news about their savior and master has returned, has swept the Orc tribe which they renamed the house of the Arcane King, With a population of over a thousand, and having incorporated more than numerous diverse tribes into their new flag, they now live in vast abundance of food and security with the cooperation of other races that have been forced to leave their home due to famine or ravaged by Black Ferals,

Finbor insisted that his title as chief was based on the old Orc traditional practice of lineage, but since they swore loyalty to their new king, his post is temporary until he returns and appoints him officially. but not everybody that joined them was submissive to the idea that an Orc would lead them, even if the Orc tribe openly accepted all of them into their land, greed will always find a way to blind the mind and corrupt it and make it believe he or she has the right over another person's property,

There will always be those who will challenge the current leadership in an expanding organization and family, thinking they are more qualified than them to lead. According to 6 other tribe leaders, following the flag of the Arcane King, is pointless since that person no longer resides in their tribe. The quarrel over who will govern a growing city must be resolved and the rightful leader proclaimed,

As soon as Sharn learned of the news, she hurriedly went to his father in the gathering hall to speak with him about the king and confirm his decision to alleviate the other race's concerns regarding not having any representation in the town government. They fear that the Orc clan might use their power over those who do not belong to their race and because of this fear, a few scheming individuals are now taking advantage of the uncertainty about the future.

Sharn entered the hall and walked toward his father most of the scheming elders consider her rude behaviour disrespectful and vile, but Sharn could not hold her emotion,

"We could have just let you wander in the forest and die of starvation, but our king gave us a task to show mercy and help those who were in need, and this is what all of you do, to repay that kindness!"

"that is enough Sharn!"

"But father master Ramiel was spotted entering the inner forest going toward the Sacred Root,"

"We have no right to pass judgement on them let us wait until the king returns to set things right!"

the six different scheming elder races went out of the town with annoyed expressions and talk among each other saying,

"We can just kill their so-called king, and after we rule over them!"

the six elders who were supposed to be the representative of their race were already corrupt, to begin with, and after losing their home and falling from grace they still insist that they were the right people to control the mesa that was fortunately filled with raw natural wealth that the Orc saw belongs to their king.

"killing this Ramiel person will be easy, prepare your men and when the right moment comes we shall take what is ours."

At the same time, Alpha shadow already infiltrated the Orc Territory and name the area the house of the Arcane King, and mentally relay any information concerning the Orcs' future, Ramiel understood that even if he was in a different world, greed and immoral thinking will always try to overcome those who want peace and order, and will always be threatened by those are powerful,

"Both of my mothers were right when they told me that evil and greedy people will never change, because they really can't change no matter how much you try, they will still succumb to their desire and hunger."

Alpha looked at him and remind him, that there are people who are capable of change and make sacrifices to ensure that those changes will be beneficial to those people he or she needs to protect, life is a constant battle of balance if you focus only on the bad thing you will never see the good things around, Alpha remind him that he always has a choice to do good and bad things just make sure never get lost in the process because too much power can change a person.

"Just like Grandpa Tang told me to Adapt, learn, overcome, and survive."

"He is a wise person! anyway, so do you think we can hunt down black ferals within two days?"

" Arcane Sonar Detection,"

"Exploitation of Knowledge,"

"two days will be enough, see! we have 7 black feral mutated beasts near that mountain pass, so are you ready to go! in full battle mode."

"Are you kidding me I am been waiting for days to get my claws to sharpen again,"

6 miles from the Orc stronghold the ground trembles nonstop as a powerful explosion could be heard and most Orc who resided above the mesa stood and watch as the vibration would affect even the air, they all cheer as each clashing sound would travel in the atmosphere and different powerful spell could be seen miles away,

other races that saw the Orc's reaction made them rethink their safety living inside their territory, some younger Orcs would explain that those sounds are music to their ear, because their king was back and he is fulfilling his obligation to destroy our greatest enemy the black ferals.

a few saw this reaction as filled with nonsense and Orc superstition, and a waste of time, believing that they were saved by a being more powerful than a Demon Duke and just gave them a place that has the largest mineral deposit in the area, untouched gold jewel and even Mithril ore vain just sitting there waiting to be dug out,

Among the Dark Elf, Beastkin, Dryads, Dwarf, Satyr, halflings and Human Refugees, that were accepted to stay within the Orc Territory, humans were the very first race that was affected by the wealth in the land, two of the six elders were humans that saw the opportunity to become rich as they started to scheme their way into manipulating the rest of to remove Finbor as the sole leader and create a more diverse representation of leaders to govern the land.

and seeing this otherworldly event might be just an excuse or a make-believe scenario or just a ruse to gather the needed slaves to be used as they forcefully chain all of them in mining all of this wealth, and control the entire land and monopolize the raw material by saying the entire area is owned by their king that is have never seen once,

the sound of battle rage on more orcs went out of their way to hunt more food and prepare for any given moment their king would come back, a separate structure was created days ago and was simple but other races that were living there were astonished by the manner it was built, the first race that came under the Orcs care were 200 Dwarfs that thank them by helping in the Main mansion for their so-called king, while the 600 combined Orc tribe were lively and was filled with battle joy, the 3 scheming elders Decided to secretly push forward their plan to overtake the Orc rule,

Sharn Would sit on the edge of the Mesa cliff and watch as the parade of flashing display power could be seen, murderous energy could be felt, as most of the residents dread that feeling the Orc race continued their daily task with no issue even the ground continued to tremble and explosion echo into the dead of night until on the second day around high noon when the sun was at its highest and the heat could be felt in their skin silence consumed the land,

A more intense vile, killing intent was oozing out it was dark thick and dense and pain and anger were like a tornado swirling in wild energy, the force was strong enough to uproot and break a 10-meter tall tree in half, all of the wild animals would run away by hundreds, as the dark energy rises upward and slowly expands, it was like a nuclear explosion as the superheated wind would travel and burn the grass around the area, as all of the inhabitants saw this impending doom eating their new home when Sharns GrandFather approach her and said,

"the king is back! before the shadow of that pillar would cascade and cover our entrance, he will come to meet his people,"

a bright light came out of the dark energy orb and gradually ate the darkness and began to decrease in size and the feeling of dread departed and the stillness of the area could be heard, the devastation of the forest was massive but like before the sacred roots move and repaired the destroyed land as he and Alpha just sat at a safe distance and watch the ground returned to its normal state,

"I am hungry than tired, and I was able to find the answer to my question in having sufficient aid in dealing with large-scale battle,"

"and in the process, I was able to purify many souls to atone for their negative emotions."

"Same here I am now able to summon 30 Gehenna shadows, and at the same time you have acquired 540 loyal followers, and your level has significantly risen 2 times already."

Ramiel saw the land that he and Alpha ravaged without remorse and returned back to normal within a few hours, thinking this place still makes him feel amazed every time he sees the land get healed after the last tree gets to rapidly grow at a fast rate, he and Alpha went back toward the Orc tribe without suppressing his energy as he was overwhelming the land he was stepping on, Sharn including her house could feel his presence as the Orcs wearing the full battle armour ran down to welcome their king,
