GA: Glory Of The Kindom
141.1 Portal To The Devil World

Sarhox looked extremely frightened the demon body that was covered in flames seemed to tremble at the power of a human prince in front of her. There was no running path as the prince was still standing on the road leading to the portal gate to the world where Sarhox came from.

Antonio seems to notice the demon named Sarhox who chooses to surrender even though Antonio knows that Sarhox is a demon who leads a low-level demon that has killed many residents in the southern desert region but Antonio remains let him live because Antonio needs his information.

"Sarhox are all the Imps still in this place yours.?" Antonio asked the worried Sarhox to kneel down and speak.

"Truely my lord prince Antonio they are the demons that I lead, if my noble master Prince Antonio wants them, he said, my master may take them a servant guarantee they will not dare to oppose you because they are so stupid." Said Sarhox offering his men to Antonio.

Sarhox thought Antonio wanted them as soldiers because Prince Antonio was seen coming alone and not bringing troops, especially Imp can be bred quickly and strong enough to be made an army.

But Sarhox wrongly Antonio doesn't need a demon that lacks intelligence and is almost as wild as a Goblin.

"Kill them all." Antonio said as he looked at the surprised Demon Sarhox.

"What but my lord they are precious enough and you can use them to fight." Sarhox.

"I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are much stronger than lowly creatures like them, kill because they have also killed many innocent humans." Antonio's Order

Sarhox seemed hesitant to slaughter the Imps who were his men but if he did not follow the will of the human prince in front of him he could be himself who would be killed.

The mid-level Devil Sarhox walked up to the foolish Imps who had not realized what was going on until the fire-covered arm of Sarhox moved to stab a sharp claw towards the stomach of one of the Imps up to killed and then Sarhox looked at his other men not far from there and killed him as well.

Sarhox continues to slaughter his remaining men with his devil's claws because he is unable to use his fire power to kill Imp's demons.

'It was really cruel to even tell me to slaughter my own beloved Imps, though I thought it was the demon kings who were the cruelest of all living beings but even the humans just stood by watching me do all this.'

Sarhox did not have much trouble slaughtering his foolish men who were silent in fear of not daring to fight his master and it did not take long until Sarhox returned to face Antonio again.

"My master I've slaughtered them all." Sarhox said fidelity.

"It's good now that you tell me about the world you came from, especially about the Devil's kingdom there, then I'll let you go." Antonio said to the Nelfire Demon race Sarhox kneeling before him.

There was no courage to refuse, much less that He was promised to be released so Sarhox told him everything He knew.

Antonio had asked about the existence of the yellow dragon Durhan inhabiting the great tomb of Golgotha but Sarhox only explained that the yellow dragon had disappeared when the door to the end of the tomb could be opened and the demons instead said that they only saw a lot of humans wearing black robes and were able to use quite powerful magic but the demons managed to repel them.

Antonio now understands that it was Sirak temple that had dismantled the entrance to the end of the tomb but the disappearance of the yellow dragon Durhan is still a mystery.

Antonio also asked the opinion of the demon race about dragons and it turns out that in the demon world there is also the existence of dragons that are the strongest creatures and almost impossible to be conquered by the demon race.

Antonio then checked the other room in the place and there was a large coffin that was already open, inside the coffin lay the body of the Golgothan emperor who had been residing there more than a thousand years ago, but Antonio did not find the crown of Pylos belonging to the Golgotha emperor there.

The tomb of the Golgotha emperor also contained no treasures or parchments about the ancient empire that were reported to be also in the tomb at that place, however, Antonio saw some human skulls that were likely heroes who had managed to eliminate some of the effects of wind magic power caused by the crown of Pylos.

"The Sarhox in this tomb used to be the Crown of my royal ancestral emperor, the Crown with the white jewel that radiates wind magic power, did you know about that crown.?" Antonio asked Sarhox there.

"Hamba doesn't know about the crown that my lord is referring to, but the basement of the Arungal castle is connected to the portal behind this tomb, he said, it is likely that Arungal has taken and looted all the treasures that are here to move in his castle because I had heard in the past that Arungal became very rich suddenly after selling mysterious items including magic weapons." Answer Sarhox.

Antonio feels quite disappointed because it turns out that the demon Arungal has looted the treasure at the end of the Golgotha tomb and even sold it to make it more difficult for Antonio to complete his mission to find the Golgotha crown and end the wind disaster that has hundreds years make the people of the southern part of the western continent suffer.

"Sarhox do you know where Arungal sold all the spoils from this tomb.?" Ask back Antonio.

"It was almost a hundred years ago when Arungal found a portal in his castle but I think almost all the magic weapons were sold to the kingdom of Munarak who controlled the Ephridus race while books and parchments were in the sell to the Succubus kingdom Arduas who is interested in studying the human race." Sorhax.

"Ah this truly difficult crown Pylos is a very important treasure for the future of the people in my kingdom and I also want the parchment that the Golgotha empire left behind." Said Antonio.

"So the Demon king Zalfirox has the crown of Pylos, it would be difficult if a kingdom had the crown of my ancestor, he said, Sorhax tell me everything you know about the king of the Ephridian race and what is the possibility that he will be easily persuaded to return the Crown of Pylos.?" Ask Antonio.

"Hamba thought it would be difficult because king Zalfirox was so cruel and haughty a few hundred years ago he killed the king and his own brother to take over Munarak's power." Sarhox.

Antonio thinks it seems like he has little choice if He wants to get back the Crown of Pylos He must come alone to the demon world and ask him back.

"Sarhox seems like I have to come to the Devil's world to take the Crown of my own ancestor." Said Antonio who then approached the portal to the demon world while Sarhox who heard that was quite surprised and spoke.

"My master I don't think you're likely to get the crown that my master wants because it's impossible for my master to face the Demon Kingdom of Munarak even though my master is bringing in a large number of human troops." Sarhox.

Antonio paid little heed to Sarhox's words and walked into the portal with Sarhox following him.

Antonio's demon world had passed through that portal and spoke. Hm. so this is the demon world, then, although it feels a little hot but not as written on the parchment I've read that says the temperature in this world is so hot that humans will not be able to survive."

Sarhox who heard that then spoke. "My master I think it's not exactly the temperature in this place is quite cold because it's in the basement, it's going to be very different from the temperature of the air on the surface.

Antonio who heard that then walked through the underground passageway and it turned out that the place was a dungeon, seen several rooms with iron bars along the hallway.

Antonio sees a female demon tied in chains inside the prison and covered in wounds like lashes.

"Sarhox who is this female demon inside this prison.?" Ask Antonio.

"He was a Succubus who was likely a spy from the kingdom of Arduas. Arungal did not like them very much because the Succubus kingdom was very suspicious and continued to investigate where Arungal got many books and parchments about humans from other worlds." Sarhox.

Antonio recalls Sarhox's explanation saying that in the past the Succubus had a good relationship with the human race from another world and it seems the Succubus still remember it today.

Succubus in prison looks very weak and unconscious if allowed the possibility of Succubus will die.

"Sarhox I will take over this castle and it looks like you can I trust, if you want to cooperate with me then I will let you take over the power that Arungal left behind as my representative here." Said Antonio.

"But my lord the kingdom of Munarak will not allow that, for this territory still falls into the dominion of the kingdom led by the race of Ephridus." Sorhax.

"Sorhax already I told you I'm the human prince of the kingdom of Remaria will take over this territory in retaliation against Arungal one of the Demon lords of the kingdom of Munarak who attacked the people of the territory of the kingdom of Remaria." Said Antonio.

Sorhax thought a little 'The reason prince Antonio took the territory that Arungal left behind is reasonable but I became the lord of the territory will be like a dream, he said, but whether the human prince in front of me can be trusted, but this human prince had said that he had hundreds of thousands of troops that were far stronger than the Gargoyle Devil or Imp and that was proven when the human army managed to kill all the demon Arungal army and I brought it to another world.'

Sorhax seems to take everything into account He is a fairly intelligent demon and thinks maybe He can use this to awaken the glory of the Nelfire race who have always been followers of the Ephridus race but never one of them his race had once been a great noble of the territory's ruler.

'My front man prince seems very confident that he can fight against the kingdom of Munarak even though I have explained many things about the power of that kingdom, but there was no way that humans would forever continue to rule and be in this demon world, they will definitely leave after getting the crown of Pylos that they want and I will gain full power from the land that the humans have left here.' Think Sarhox.

Although Sarhox knew that this would pose a lot of very risky things for him but with his intelligence and the power of the human prince in front of him Sarhox was quite sure to survive the pressure of the definite Munarak kingdom will come attacking the power of humans in the demon world, Until the moment humans leave this demon world Sarhox will only be able to rely on human strength.

"My lord Prince Antonio I am willing to do your bidding, but will you really be able to fight against the kingdom of Munarak.?" Ask Sarhox.

"I understand your concerns very well, but you can trust me and I will destroy Munarak's kingdom if it is necessary." Antonio had thought about the existence of dragons in the demon world which are also considered as the strongest creatures and sources of calamity by the Devils so Antonio did not have to worry about the threat of the devil because He can turned into a dragon that the demons feared.

Antonio explains what and how Sarhox must act as Antonio's deputy who rules the territory and castle in the demon world and Sarhox begins to acknowledge the human intelligence that is now its master.

"Well Sarhox I'll go back to my world now I won't be long and do you understand what you have to do.?" Antonio asked Sarhox.

"Of course my lord I will prepare everything and keep a secret about Arungal's death from the inhabitants of this castle until my lord prince Antonio returns." Answer Sarhox.

Antonio then frees the Devil Succubus who is held in the underground prison of Arungal castle and then takes him away to another world.
