GA: Glory Of The Kindom

Jagaras and Mordus were still talking to Hardus to find out the strength of the human prince who had previously come and fought in the village. Hardus did explain some things about human power that he had seen himself but all of that was still very vague for Jagaras.

"From the explanation of Hardus, the human prince named Antonio seemed to have almost no weakness and could even continue to fight without losing stamina but there was no way he would be able to survive the invasion of a large army belonging to Haturdas if alone." Jagaras.

Jagaras felt he had to remain cautious because if only a human being could not possibly be brave enough to challenge a demon kingdom because there must be an army belonging to the human prince that he had not released feeling that it was not needed and made Jagaras a little doubt whether he could win against the human troops who would likely come to provide assistance to their prince.

Meanwhile Mordus realized that the Jagaras nobility also began to feel doubt about his mission to capture the castle of Arungal and the surrounding region for the Asmadeus race so Mordus immediately spoke.

"Mr Jagaras however we cannot avoid opposition to the humans who control the Arungal castle because you cannot return to the Ordenkar capital without making any attacks." Mordus.

"I am indeed the one who insinuated to King Zalfirox so that my troops are sent to seize the castle of Arungal and if I return like this maybe I will only be be beheaded for not being able to carry out my duties properly, it's a big deal if it's true that humans have much more power than we all thought." Jagaras.

"Mr Jagaras but what we know is not that many humans are seen in the castle of Arungal so we can definitely defeat them relying on numbers." Mordus.

"Perhaps what you say is true but Mordus we will know it soon and if the army of Haturdas suffers a great defeat then it will be proof that the humans may be a much more threat bigger than all the demons in Munarak's kingdom think." Jagaras.

Shortly after that all the demons heard something very terrible echoing throughout the region, Jagaras and the demons there realized that it was not an ordinary creature but came from a very large monster.

"Mordus, Hardus did you hear that?" Ask Jagaras.

"Mr Jagaras it seemed like it was the terrible roar of a dragon." Answer Mordus.

"I know it's because only a dragon can make such a big sound, but listen carefully to the roar coming from the direction of our destination." Jagaras.

"Is it possible for a dragon to appear near the castle of Arungal, this is critical when we are not finished with the human threat now such a monstrous monster appears instead in this region." Mordus.

"It should be that the dragon-controlled territory was far south how could they be here, whether it was possible for the dragons to be lured by the movement of the great army of Haturdas who attacked the castle of Arungal."

The sound of raging dragon roars still continued to be heard from a distance making the army of Asmadeus led by Jagaras feel uneasy because they do not know what is happening actually.

Jagaras flew back to where his troops were and looked far towards where the dragon roar sound came from but due to the distance too far they were unable to witness everything that happened in the Arungal castle whereas the Dragons had the very distant vision they used to hunt so the dragon-shaped Antonio could realize the army from Jagaras.

The sound of the dragon roar was finally not heard anymore but moments later from the distance Jagaras and his troops finally day saw the figure of an enormous dragon flying very quickly approaching to their place.

"Mr Jagaras is a very big dragon we must leave this place immediately!" Mordus said in panic.

Jagaras stared at the approaching dragon but it was too late to run because it was flying very fast and some of his troops were likely to die.

The situation became increasingly tense for the Asmadeus army who witnessed the dragon that might soon slaughter them but something happened the body of the dragon that approached it suddenly shone brightly and began to shrink to form other more creatures small of them all.

"What happened that the dragon had changed into something else?" Mordus said confusedly.

Asmadeus' army, which had been about to flee, fell silent in confusion and the approaching creature finally arrived in front of them and Jagaras finally decided to come forward and speak.

"Who are you and why did you look like a dragon before you changed to this form now?" Jagaras asked while shouting to a creature in front of him that Mordus as if he had seen the form finally spoke.

"Wait a minute, aren't you the Doppelganger who asked me the way yesterday?" Said Mordus who still thinks Antonio is Doppelganger.

"Doppelganger Mordus do you recognize the creature before us?" Jagaras asked Mordus.

"But there's no way it's a Doppelganger because there's not a single demon from the Doppelganger race who's mastered the change of form to a dragon." The words Jagaras and Mordus should also begin to doubt that it really was a demon of the Doppelganger race.

Antonio looked at the demons and could hardly believe that he would meet again with the demons that had previously helped him find a direction but it was not the time for that so Antonio immediately spoke.

"It turns out that it was you who helped me find a direction, well maybe I introduced myself once more to explain what happened, alright, I am Antonio Losta De Remaria the human prince of the kingdom of Remaria who has taken possession of this castle and territory." Antonio introduced himself.

Jagaras and Mordus looked at the man but they never thought that the human prince could change into a giant dragon and deserved the man to dare to come alone to challenge the great army the devil is here.

"So you are the man who has taken the territory of Arungal, let me introduce you to Haturdas, the ruler of the Galdipa region located to the east of this region and prince Antonio, I would like to ask you this about the forces belonging to the Hartudas nobility who previously attacked you if I noticed you seem to have defeated them all?" Jagaras said that he felt it possible that he should be careful because surely the man in front of him is very strong and can defeat his entire army because he can change into a dragon which is the strongest creature in the world devils.

"So the leader of the demon army that previously attacked my castle was named Haturdas, ahh now I am a little guilty after knowing his name and forgive me for unwittingly eating the body of Haturdas and some of his men." Antonio said apologizing that perhaps the demons would not like to know that Haturdas's body, a demon lord, would not be able to be returned to the kingdom of Munarak after this attack ended.

The Devils in front of Antonio still looked a little confused but that must be true because the human prince's previous form was a giant dragon that could prey on any living creature.

"Your Highness Prince Antonio seems to be right we underestimated you too much and now whether you intercepted us to slaughter all my troops here, I couldn't possibly dodge it because surely you also know the purpose for which we came?" Said Jagaras who knew there was no reason for Prince Antonio to release those who intended to attack him and Jagaras also could not resist the resistance of the human prince.

"Your noble name Jagaras is not okay about what I will do depends on your choice, if you still intend to fight me then I have no choice but to defend myself but if you decide to leave here properly then I will release all of you." Answer Antonio.

Jagaras could hardly believe hearing that because there was no reason for the human prince to spare even the release of the demon army that previously intended to attack him let alone see the superiority of the distant prince Antonio superior to all the demons here after defeating Haturdas' huge army.

"You let go of us all but why can't you turn back into a dragon and finish us off, such generosity is impossible in a war in this cruel world?" Ask Jagaras.

"Just so I think you're forgetting the important thing that I'm not a demon like you and not from this world, I am a human being who will do good to those who are kind to me and will give the right reward to those who are hostile to me so as long as you do not or have not made a big mistake then I am still can forgive you all." Said Antonio.

Jagaras thinks this is crazy because how can there be intelligent beings as good as that who are willing to release enemies that may in the future still be able to come back against it.

"Prince Antonio then why did you come to the demon world and attack our brother Arungal even intending to expand your power by attacking the kingdom of Munarak?" Ask Jagaras.

"Mr Jagaras whether the Arungal noble family I released has not explained to you yet, I came to the demon world and took control of this region in return because Arungal attacked the people in my kingdom and regarding me who intended to attack the kingdom of Munarak it depends on the king of Zalfirox whether he will willingly willing to return my ancestors' Pylos crowns or choose to fight me and it wasn't a hard choice for him to choose first." Said Antonio.

"So it seems like the item you want is very valuable to you and even willing to fight to get it but our king will most likely still reject your wishes and I will be forced to come back to face with you're in the future." Jagaras.

"Most likely it will happen but let me give you a little advice, Mr. Jagaras, all humans or demons have the opportunity to choose and their choice will determine their destiny in the future so lord Jagaras as the leader representing the choice of many demons should think well because of the choice of the you take will also determine the fate of many demons that you lead, now go tell your king I will wait for his decision." Said Antonio.

Jagaras thought highly of it because the words showed that prince Antonio gave the chance for the demons to determine the piliy as well as the consequences that the demons would get after taking a stand.

"Alright prince Antonio we will pass that on to the Demon King Zalfirox because after the events in this place including the defeat of the army belonging to the noble Haturdas our king will not likely return to underestimate your request." Jagaras had earlier given orders to withdraw his troops.
