Albert moody.
He just found out that apparently he was not the only one who was presented with the special necklace from his master.
“Take it easy, Mr. Albert. You're still so much better than me. I was not given the necklace at all.”
Although Nunu said that sentence as if comforting Albert, it could only be seen that he was mocking her about an unbeatable ring which was also a gift from Helios for her as she wiggled upwards revealing its shape with a careful look showoff.
Nunu did not receive the necklace gift. However, he became the only one to be rewarded with the ring by his master. This made Albert even more envious.
“Cih. Sure you'd be so childish? I doubt even that the Second Prince himself considers the significance of his gift. After all, did the cold prince have the heart to love his guards from the beginning? I'll bet that you're all nothing more than pawns to him.”
Codi taunts Albert, who shows too much loyalty to Helios.
“Hei, Codi. Your words have gone too far.”.
“Bruk.”
Nunu paused his comment in the midst of the sudden, Albert floating a raw bogeman towards Codi.
“You yourself how, huh?! Do you think the cruel third prince considers you his family? He most likely considers you important nothing more because you are a reliable weapon for him! Unlike His Highness Prince Helios! We've been together for eleven years! The Prince... The Prince will at least consider me to be like his own family!”
Codi immediately stood back up when he fell to the ground after receiving a raw bogeman from Albert.
“Heh, sure you think that way? Beyond a doubt, you turned out to be quite shameless as well huh, Albert?”
“What did you say?!”
Albert was once again about to throw his raw bogeman at Codi, but Nunu immediately turned him away.
“Hey, stop it dong, Mr Albert! Why do you fight at times like this? Alice, you also help dong.”
Nunu glanced at Alice for help. However, it was realized that Alice was only eleven twelve with Albert.
“True. I want to address the person who has dared to insult Master.” Said Alice with her murderous glare while raising her sword high.
However, there was nothing in the room that feared the swing of Alice's sword that never hit the target.

While his guards outside were fighting, Helios continued her journey around the passageway where she was forcibly pulled into. Helios could hear a very creepy roar echoing along the hallway.
However, his thoughts could not escape the fleeting memory he received from his familiar who had been connected with a second two seconds when Helios was forcibly pulled into the room.
The city of Painfinn was in a state of chaos, plus many casualties were falling everywhere. Seeing all that, Helios was unable to contain her anxiety and wanted to immediately return to the city by abandoning her mission.
If he could do that, he would have done it. Unfortunately, that was not possible since he was trapped by the witch Milanda.
“It's not time for me to worry about that. Now, I just have to focus on stabilizing the situation in the monster forest area since there is nothing I can do about my current situation. Besides, in the city right now, there's Leon and his men. I believe in them. I'm sure they'll be able to secure the city situation better than I.”
Armed with that belief, Helios was better able to move his legs lightly.
“Leon, my stupid brother. I hope you'll be okay. I'm pinning Painfinn City on you.”

“What is really going on in this city?”
Venia stared straight out from behind the window at her hospital office on the second floor about the gripping sight of a fire explosion that was happening deep in the city border.
“In times like this, why would a patient run away? Duh, this makes me dizzy. What would I say if I confronted His Highness the Second Prince if he found out that his bodyguard, Albert, had escaped from the hospital two days ago? It really makes me dizzy.”
“Ukh.”
In Venia's uneasiness, she suddenly listened to a noisy voice coming from the direction of her hospital entrance.
“Mr Grodzky, what happened?”
“Oh, Venice. Can you treat my friend's wound first? Rocks hit his head during a powerful shock while investigating material in the cave.”
“Oh yes, of course.”
Venia immediately helped Grodzky to lay his fellow dwarf to one of the hospital beds and began to treat him. At that time, he obediently listened to the complaints of a grandfather named Grodzky.
“I wonder. What really happened in this town? Clearly the monsters that attacked up until now were monsters that should only appear in the monster forest region of Vlonhard Empire.”
Venia responded to Grodzky's statement with the words, “Did they migrate here from the empire times huh?”
However, Grodzky quickly opposed the opinion,
“There is no way it happened because there is a defense artifact that separates the two regions of the monster forest. Is this all yet again engineering the Vlonhard Empire to annex the land of the Kingdom of Meglovia? It was possible considering the nature of the present emperor who was fond of conducting royal conquests around. Just look at how the empire has annexed small kingdoms like Actice, Lopane, and Rimuru.”
Grodzky turned to Venia for a long wait for an answer, and he did not get it.
“Venia, what do you think? My deduction is right, right? Given how the current empire and empire are also at odds.”.
But Grodzky immediately stopped his speech when he realized Venia's expression with wide eyes.
“What the fuck? Why is Yasmin also missing? Oh, really, what is it with all the Second Prince's men?!”
Venia's frustration doubled once she realized that not only her patient, Albert, now a patient, Yasmin, had also disappeared from her hospital retreat.
***
Meanwhile, Yasmin who was sought by Venia had apparently been standing on one of the hills close to one of the places that was going on disaster. Yasmin was still wearing her patient clothes.
In front of him, the five shadow warriors of Leon were fighting against three ghost-type monsters, Pooka and two more that appeared later.
“Cih, yet we can beat the one, appear again the other.”
“They are not ceaselessly popping. Hey, Dog, you don't miss the formation.”
“Sorry, I'm tired. Hey, Rat, watch out!”
“Akh!”
However, the warning from Dog was late responded by Rat. As a result, Pooka with his sharp nails managed to claw his stomach and then almost pulled out the contents.
“No, no. Aaaaaaakh!”
“Rat!!”
“Bukh.”
The flying sand blocked their view. However, after the fluttering grains of sand dust subsided, once they felt relieved. Pooka's attack failed to hit Rat. It was because a female soldier dressed in hospital patient blocked Pooka's attack beautifully. It was Yasmin, the maid of Helios.
“Cih, these monsters destroyed the city that Master had painstakingly built. I won't let it.”
“Hey, Ma'am! Watch out! Above you!”
One of the shadow soldiers immediately shouted as soon as he saw one of the three ghosts was about to ambush Yasmin from above.
The monster was none other than a gargoyle, a stone-shaped monster that could fly with its stone wings.
“Praaaaak!”
But with Yasmin's overpowering fist power, the gargoyle slammed back very easily.
All the eyes of the Leon shadow warrior were made to be amazed by Yasmin's appearance of how a slender and weak-looking woman could have such a powerful force.
