The Strongest Knight's
Ch. 86 - The Jin Race
In this world, everything is measured by strength. The strongest will win everything, including receiving the respect of the weak. It was a system that had been awakened since long ago until now.
Some are strong because of the status of nobility and blue blood that flows in him from birth, some are strong because they managed to master the empire and become great knights or magicians recognized.
All the strong will be recognized.. Because strength is the determinant, the strong will usually get the title as a sign of the strength he has. For example, in a knight class..
The strength of the knights was divided based on the titles pinned on them. The strongest of the knights will obtain the title of great knight, there is only one person who is capable of carrying that title. Then under him, there were the titles Great Knights, ordinary knights, royal warriors and the civilian warrior class.
The great knight has 3 right-hand men who have the title of great knight, although they have the title of great knight but the right hand of great knight has more power than other great knights, you could say those who were raised to the right hand of the great knight were the best knights among the other great knights.
Then below them was a great knight who led 30 to 50 classes of ordinary knights. Furthermore ordinary knights were leaders for the royal soldiers who numbered hundreds to thousands of soldiers.
Then the lowest title is a civilian soldier, usually a civilian soldier is a soldier recruited from civil society when the war is raging. Unlike the royal soldiers who have passed the recruitment process officially and trained by the knights.

For the saint knight class, they were basically not a system created on the land of Neverland. They appeared because of the intervention of a goddess, because the power of the holy knights was equivalent to that of the goddess if they had reached the highest peak of the holy power within them. Therefore, the position of the holy knights was above that of the great knights, but once again.. It only happened if the saint knights were at the highest peak of their strength.
Such was the system that existed in this world, as well as the knights who measured their strength by pinning the title in front of their names. Then it also applies to the demon army, where they are awarded the title directly by the demon lord based on their level of strength and destructive power.
Call it 6 demons who have the title of a big sin, where each of the 6 demons has a demon under their shelter. The devil who takes shelter under the name of the 6 great sins is also a powerful demon that cannot be underestimated.
Then there is the parademon.. Other strong demons but not as strong as the demons that take shelter under the name of 6 big sins. Then the next level is the demon and the last weakest among them is called demonlose.
The one who got the title of demon king was not only from the demon race but also other races who worshiped the demon king and were included in the demon army. Until now there are 4 races that became the demon army and recognized the demon king as the king of the Darksideland land.
That race was the demon race itself, the undead race, the monster race and lastly was the Jin race.
Like the figure that was currently in front of Richard, the figure was named Ifrit who was a Jin race, a follower of the demon king and had the title of 4 pillars of hell. A title attached to 4 figures from the demon army that is stronger than 6 major sins.

Set at the very bottom of the labyrinth, a luxurious castle that stood firm since the first Labyrinth appeared on the land of Neverland, the appearance of the labyrinth first coincided with the start of the invasion of the demon clan that attacked the entire land of Neverland.
Inside the castle, the room in the middle. The room where Richard is currently with Ifrit. A library with many old books containing knowledge of magic control, knowledge of world history, knowledge of magic items and contains many other knowledge that has never been known by anyone on the mainland of Neverland.
The books are a collection of Ifrit, a Jin who thirsts for knowledge.
"I'm glad you're out of bed, Ignis." Ifrit approached Richard.
Richard is shocked when Ifrit introduces himself as part of the demon army, but Richard does not look alert as he knows if the current Ifrit does not intend to harm him.
"So.. Why would a demon lord like yourself lock yourself up in a place like this?" Ask Richard.
"And.. If the 4 pillars of hell are as strong as you say, why are you hiding from Darkger, a demon who is constantly trying to break down the entrance to this place to capture you?" Ask Richard again.
Richard asked two questions at once because of the great curiosity in his heart. What else Ifrit had led Richard to this place, in Richard's mind it would have been hard if Ifrit had any intention and purpose for it.
"Yes.. I'll explain to you how I got here." Obviously Ifrit.
It happened 800 years ago, when the demon lord saw the gap of dimensional magic separating Neverland from the place where the demon races were confined, the underworld was named Darksideland.
"Wait a minute! Why did the jinn race disagree with that plan? The jinn should support whatever the demon lord decides, whether you are his followers." Just as Ifrit explained a bit of his past to Richard, he asked again.
"That's because the jinn race is a part of the inhabitants of the sky!" Firm Ifrit.
Just like the land of Neverland and Darksideland, above the sky there is also life that exists with various races. The inhabitants of the sky are considered to be the most superior race of all races in this world. They were the beginning of the life of the world, for that is why they were worshipped by the inhabitants of the land of Neverland.
Ras jin is one of the inhabitants of the sky, but the leader of the jinn race at that time made a fatal mistake that made the king of the sky angry. Because of the wrath of the king of the sky, he sentenced all the jinn races for the mistake of the leader of the jinn race.
The leader of the jinn felt guilty about it, he begged the king of heaven for forgiveness and leniency for his actions. Until a decision is issued, the entire race of jinn will be sent down to the underworld to watch over the demon king who is still trying to escape from the shackles that restrain him due to the sin he committed.
The king of the sky promised them something, if the jinn did a good job then one day the jinn race would be forgiven and lifted back up again to the sky. So on the basis of that, the jinn race descended into the underworld. Facing the demon lord and slaying at him while watching his movements.
The jinn race then became part of the demon army and took the opportunity to find out the entire movement of the demon king and his troops who were still looking for a way to get out of Darksideland. Until finally, the army of demons getting along found a gap to return to the land of Neverland and the jinn race who saw it sent a report to the inhabitants of the sky.
But apparently.. Since the jinn race was descended from the sky. The gates of the sky were closed, and not even the light of the sky shone on the land of Neverland until the races of the land of Neverland considered it a day of mourning because the gods had died. That was what was on the minds of the Neverland mainland races, but the truth was the opposite.
Sky residents no longer want to interfere with the problems that occur on the land of Neverland. They deliberately closed the gates of the sky because they were fed up with the conduct of the race that existed on the land of Neverland, the divisions, wars and damage that occurred only brought hatred.. And it was ultimately that hatred that made the demon race even stronger.
When the sky door was closed, not only the land race of Neverland was thrown out by the sky's inhabitants but the sky's inhabitants also threw away the jinn race that had survived years of running errands to watch over the demon lord. Until finally the demon king found out if the jinn race had been assigned to spy on them and the jinn race was labeled as traitors.
The demon lord ordered all his followers and troops to exterminate the jinn race. The leader of the jinn race when he found out about it asked the inhabitants of the sky for help but there was no answer at all. The jinn race ended up being an outcast race and the demon lord already did not put his trust in the jinn race at all.
Inevitably a war between the jinn race and the demon army takes place, a great war that shakes the Darksideland land. As part of the inhabitants of the sky, the jinn race certainly had great power. Moreover, the 4 strongest jinns had obtained the title from the demon lord before they were on the stamp of treason. The four jinn were given the title of 4 pillars of hell, a title that signifies their strength above the demons with the title of 6 major sins.
But that is not enough, the demon army is not just 6 big sins. There are still demons that are stronger than that and the number of demon troops that are many times that of the army of the jinn race makes the jinn race on the verge of defeat.
The jinn were defeated and all the families were slaughtered until there was nothing left. The leader of the jinn race back then cast a celestial spell to shackle the demon lord so that he could not leave Darksideland, along with it, The 4 strongest jin who hold the title of 4 surviving pillars of hell decide to use ancient magic to create a labyrinth when they manage to escape to the land of Neverland.
A labyrinth as well as a hiding place for the four of them. Hiding from an army of demons who want to capture and exterminate the jinn race, but the labyrinth that has many rooms, changing roads and has many traps makes the demon army difficult to find a location.
That is why in the labyrinth there are so many monsters wandering because basically they are monsters who are lost when entering the labyrinth to find the whereabouts of the genie who is hiding.
The labyrinth created by the jinn also kept various relics of their race. Starting from magic items such as blue eye crystals, treasures in the form of gold that accumulate and ancient books that contain information about the jinn race itself. It can be said that this labyrinth holds the last relic of the remaining jinn race.
There are only 4 races of jinn still alive today and they are all jinn with the title of 4 pillars of hell. The four genies were each hiding inside the labyrinth that was on the Neverland mainland and one of the jinn was currently in front of Richard.. A genie named Ifrit.
Richard stepped slowly closer to the bookshelves and skimmed through some of the books that caught his eye. He had done that since then while listening to what Ifrit had told him.
"so apparently.. From the tone of your voice, you don't seem to be making things up." Said Richard who was on his tiptoe to grab a book at the top of the bookshelf.
"There's no point in me making it up.. What do you think I'm leading you to this place for."
"For what?" Richard turned towards Ifrit, he stared coldly.
"There's no time, the celestial spell that made the demon lord unable to leave Darksideland was thinning. I will not make the death of the leader of the jinn race a waste."
"Then, what do you want?"
"From the beginning when the four of us created this maze, there were two main goals that we considered. First to hide from the demon army and the second to look for someone who deserves to get the grace of the strongest power of the jinn race." Obviously Ifrit.
Richard stood holding the book, he was seen opening the book sheet using his mouth while his right hand held the book.
"You.. Richard August, holy knight ignis.. I choose you, you will inherit my power." Ifrit pointed to Richard.
