Little Derrick woke up after fainting for 3 more hours due to a hard blow made by his father.
"At last you realize, how are you?" Ask Derrick who's meditating.
Little Derrick blinked his eyes a few times when he saw so many people in their huts, and he was finally convinced they were indeed human.
"It still hurts, dad's too much." Reply Derrick with a pain-bearing expression.
"Then who are they?" Little Derrick asked his father about the 5 strangers in their hut.
"Huh," Derrick sighed.
"Derrick's father and mother are going to go fight against the demons on the western border of the alliance, so you have to look after your sister as long as we're gone." Derrick said to his son.
"Well dad, if that's your decision, Derrick understands and promises to look after your sister." Little derrick understood.

Derrick and Suanyi are escorted by the Xenium royal army to the alliance army headquarters.
"Dad! Mama! We're waiting for you!" Little Derrick shouted as the horse-drawn carriage where Derrick and Suanyi were.
Derrick's small voice that sounded like holding back the cry successfully made Suanyi cry, Derrick was still able to hold back his cry and hugged Suanyi.
"So, so, don't die, torch, torch." Little Derrick finally cried, because he knew fighting the demons was a very heavy and dangerous mission.

After 4 days of Derrick's journey to the forbidden forest of the Xenium kingdom, they decided to rest in the forest because the day had begun to night.
"Mr Derrick called me?" Ask the captain of the guard called Derrick to face.
"Captain Taico what is the current war situation against the demons?" Derrick asked the captain of the troops the alliance had sent to escort him.
"Mr Derrick, the current war situation looks very unbalanced, it happened because the demon race had three extremely powerful demons and it was estimated that the strength of the three demons was equivalent to the heavenly realm."
"The alliance leader aided by the three guards as well as the three gods were currently indeed still able to withstand the three demons, but sooner or later they were unable to hold it back anymore, because they were all injured while the demons had a regeneration that made their wounds quickly recover."
"The situation is very detrimental to the alliance" the captain explained as he was to Derrick, who was busy reading the reports.
"More moves of demons to destabilize some areas within the alliance power is really troublesome and makes the focus of the alliance army divided." Added the captain.
"They started slaughtering hundreds of magical beasts, both newborn and thousands of years old magical beasts."
"The demon emperor is really seriously weakening the power of humans." Inner Derrick read the reports of hundreds of magical beasts being slaughtered by demons.
"Then what about the situation of the magical beasts that started to be slaughtered by the demons?" Ask Derrick because the information in the report is considered incomplete.
"Regarding that, the alliance leader decided to protect the forbidden forest in all the alliance's territories in order to minimize the slaughter of demons to magical beasts, moreover the alliance leader decided to create a magical beast forest in the holy city in addition."
"Because of that decision the position of the alliance was further cornered because many warriors had to be in charge of protecting the forbidden forest and protecting the alliance territory from demons, the current alliance lacked warriors." Obviously captain of the squad.
"I should praise the demon emperor because the strategy he implemented really made the alliance lack an army." Derrick praised the strategy of the demon emperor which was enough to make the alliance short on troops due to its divided focus.
"Then what about the organizations, sects, and guilds of warriors, are they willing to help?" Derrick asked about the organizations, sects and societies that did have the power to help the alliance.
"They don't care at all, if they care then the alliance won't lack the troops it is today." Said the fiery captain, clearly visible anger so great from the look of his face alone.
"Huh, really worrying." Derrick sighed at this, then went back to reading the reports about the rejection of various organizations that almost made civil war between humans.
"Thank you, you can go." Derrick asked the captain to leave after he felt all the information was complete and there was no more information to ask.
Derrick sighed several times as he read back the war situation report. Derrick leaned back in his chair and began to recall three years ago when he accidentally met Gaal Van in the forbidden forest, at that time Derrick was on a mission from the Adventurers Organization to meet the needs of his family.
Three years ago.
"Doing an investigation in the forbidden forest no 2 which has recently been turbulent because of something unknown."
"Gift of 3 million alliance coins."
"Seeing from the mission reward, it seems like this mission is not simple." Inner Derrick.
Although Derrick hesitated, he still took the mission, because his family needed to eat. Derrick immediately headed for the guild receptionist in charge of accepting and confirming the mission the adventurers had taken.
"Mr Derrick can you help?" Asks the receptionist when Derrick approaches him, Derrick gives a poster of the mission conducting an investigation in the forbidden forest.
"I want to take this mission." Derrick expressed his intention to take the mission.
"Investigating the forbidden forest?" The receptionist was silent.
"What's wrong?" Ask Derrick.
"Mr Derrick, this mission is too difficult and dangerous, even emperor level adventurers who are carrying out this mission in a few days are back with terrible circumstances."
"Where two of their members were killed, while their captain had to lose his left eye." Obviously the receptionist was to Derrick.
"Master sure you took this mission?" Ask the receptionist to make sure.
Derrick is not afraid and undo his intention to take the mission, Derrick instead looks excited and impatient to carry out the mission.
"I take it." Derrick.
"Master sure,"
"I take it, do the mission retrieval procedure." Sela Derrick, the receptionist sighed and did the mission procedure being carried out.
"Master good luck and prioritize safety if the mission is dangerous." Said the receptionist giving the mission token with both hands.
"Thank you." Derrick received the mission token, then passed away to the forbidden forest not far from the adventurer guild in the city of Forza.
Forza City itself has 3 forbidden forests and the closest to the guild where Derrick took the mission is the No 2 forbidden forest.
##
No 2 forbidden forest.
Derrick unleashed an aura of power within his level 100 to intimidate a magical beast intent on attacking, it turned out to be successful in making some magic beasts intent on attacking retreat due to Derrick's intimidating aura.
"Good, they're self-aware that they're not my opponent." Derrick muttered happily because the magical beast did not dare to disturb him.
Derrick kept running from tree to tree, occasionally going down to check something downstairs.
"It's a honey bear's footprint." Derrick's inner self when he finds a giant footprint and a few drops of honey scattered.
Derrick suddenly heard the sound of hundreds of insects approaching behind him, when Derrick looked back he was struck by hundreds of bees flying towards him, where they were very large and looked like monsters.
Whush!
Without further ado the hundreds of bees attack Derrick with their sting, but Derrick quickly creates an energy shield.
Cracks!
Cracks!
"It's bad!" Derrick immediately retreated when his energy shield cracked.
Derrick created hundreds of energy arrows and stabbed hundreds of bees, resulting in hundreds of them dying.
"Luckily they don't have any magic attributes." Derrick was relieved, but suddenly his eyes were rounded when a larger bee tail appeared and was ready to sting him.
Seriate.
