Kingdom's Pinch

As I put down the phone, I started pondering the details that King Leonard told me.

Apparently, the kingdom is currently under siege by 9th-stage demons, just like before. However, this time, there were five god-level demons that participated, making the defensive lines fall like dominoes.

The God Tamers quickly moved to handle the threats but couldn't eliminate them easily. After all, Noir and his twelve zodiacs were there, backing up the army and targeting anyone who wanted to face the god-level demons. Due to that, the god-tamers were held in place, while the other tamers were struggling against the 9th-stage demons swarming around.

"Five god-level demons, in short, one for each god-tamer."

I contemplated the implication of this and quickly noticed that they were simply there to "delay" the strongest force of the entire kingdom. It is child's play to realize that Noir must be planning something for the castle now that its defenses have fallen.
