After training for an entire month, the strength of Jack, Luke, Mia, Flora, Tatsuya, and Alcia is increasing. Jack had even managed to reach strength level 3, whereas the others had reached level 2.
After practicing all day, they felt very tired and dirty from sweating and exposure to dust. They decided to find a nearby river to bathe and clean up.
After walking for a while, they found a fairly large river. They took off their clothes and went into the fresh water. They help each other cleanse each other's bodies and play around in the water.
While relaxing by the river, Jack said, "We must find a way to defeat a fourth-rate demon lord. Our powers have increased, but we are still not strong enough."
Luke added, "Right. We have to figure out how to hone our skills and learn new techniques."
Mia nodded in agreement, "We also have to figure out the weakness of a fourth level demon king in order to defeat him easily."
Flora pointed out the item box she had just bought, "I also brought an item box that could be useful for later battles. We have to prepare ourselves as best we can."
Alcia also added, "We have to get ready with the right weapons and shields in order to survive on the battlefield."
They all agreed with those ideas and promised to continue practicing and working together
After a short shower and rest, Jack, Luke, Mia, Flora, Tatsuya, and Alcia decide to continue their journey to the villages around the kingdom. On the way, they hear rumors that in one of the villages there is a kingdom that is in danger because there is the presence of an unknown level demon whose identity has infiltrated the kingdom.
They decided to investigate the truth of the rumors and try to help the kingdom if there is a threat. After an investigation, they discover that the rumors are true and the demon of that level is indeed planning to take over the kingdom.
With their powers already increased, they decide to help the kingdom and risk their lives to defeat demons of that level and save the kingdom from the lurking threat.
After arriving at the village, they decided to part ways first to investigate the existence of level 4 demons and search for information. Jack and Mia decide to sit in a cafe in the middle of the village to talk.
Mia said, "We have to be careful, Jack. If this tier 4 demon was really here, then it must be extremely powerful. We can't let our guard down."
Jack nodded. "Yes, you're right. We have to prepare ourselves as best we can. But before that, we have to look for information first. What do you know about this kingdom?"
Mia thought for a moment. "There are some rumors about this kingdom. He said, the king here is very kind and very liked by his people. But there are also those who say that there is something strange going on here. There are people who mysteriously disappear and no one knows where they're going."
Jack nodded. "I've heard of it. It seemed like this tier 4 demon was involved in those cases. We need to find out more."
They talked again while enjoying their drinks.
Luke and Alcia take a walk around the village, trying to find information about the rumors regarding the kingdom being infiltrated by a tier 4 demon. They chatted while watching around.
Luke asked, "What do you think of these rumors, Alcia?"
Alcia replied, "I don't know for sure, but if it's true, then we should act immediately. A tier 4 demon is extremely powerful, and can harm the villagers if not overcome immediately."
As they walked, they saw a group of people gathered in a shop. They approached the men and wondered about the rumors that were circulating. The people provided information that a tier 4 demon was rumored to be hiding inside the kingdom, and some people had reported strange attacks that occurred in several places.
Luke and Alcia thank him for the information and continue on their journey to seek further clues. They walked through several villages and finally found a clue that a tier 4 demon was planning a massive attack on one of the nearby villages.
Luke and Alcia soon return to another place to meet Jack, Mia, Flora, and Tatsuya, and share the information they have.
Tatsuya and Flora continued to walk in the quite dense forest. They talked to each other about their strengths and techniques.
"Tatsuya, I'm curious about the technique you used when fighting against the demon lord earlier. Can you teach it to me?" ask Flora.
Tatsuya smiled, "Of course, Flora. But this technique is quite difficult to learn. We need a lot of practice and patience."
Flora nodded, "I'm ready to learn. I want to be stronger like all of you."
Tatsuya smiled again, "You're already strong, Flora. But we can always improve our abilities."
They continued walking, while talking about all sorts of things about their fight and strength. They hope to find the information they need
After regrouping, they decided to enter the kingdom to find the tier 4 demon. However, they realized that it was not an easy thing because the kingdom was very tight security.
Luke and Alcia tell the information that they have obtained that the tier 4 demon is within the kingdom and is generalized as a noble. They also know that the demon has the power of shadow manipulation and can control the minds of others.
Jack and the others decide to force their way into the kingdom, but Luke and Alcia suggest finding a safer way and not arousing suspicion. After a long discussion, they decided to infiltrate the kingdom by disguising themselves as visitors and acting secretly to find out the whereabouts of a tier 4 demon.
They make detailed plans and prepare all needs. Once everything is ready, they embark on an infiltration mission into the kingdom.
They all gathered somewhere and started chatting about the information Luke and Alcia had already obtained. Jack asked, "So you guys found information about a tier 4 demon inside the kingdom?"
Luke replied, "Yes, the information is pretty clear. Reportedly the demon has immense power and plans to invade our kingdom."
Mia added, "But how can we enter the kingdom and defeat the demon? What's plan?"
Flora raised her hand, "I have an idea. We can disguise ourselves as merchants and enter the kingdom easily. Meanwhile, Tatsuya and Luke can find out more about the demon's power and how to defeat it."
Tatsuya nodded, "Sounds like a good plan. We can start preparing now."
Jack agreed to the plan, "Alright, let's immediately start preparing ourselves and infiltrate the kingdom to defeat those tier 4 demons."
