The Demon King System
Magic Ritual

The screaming sound from Juliana weakened further, her body seemed to shrink and the Ancient Dragon form had managed to return to its original form.

Jean was surprised to see an Ancient Dragon that was as large as his Graham Family Castle, not to mention the aura emitted by the Ancient Dragon was depressing.

Jean could no longer bear to hear the screams of pain from Juliana. “Mr Gral please stop, Juliana is no longer able to perform this ritual!” he shouted hoping that Gral would stop the ritual.

“Be quiet Jean!” bent Daendels Graham fears Gral is offended and exterminates the Graham Family. “Which belongs to Juliana must be absorbed to the end then the power of the Ancient Dragon back to its peak time!” said again.

Jean was astonished, if Juliana's Mana was absorbed to the end then she would either take her last breath or have to die in the process of this ritual.

Jean sat down, her tears flowing; the warm smile of her nephew appeared before her. He felt extremely guilty, his hands trembling as he unsheathed his sword.

Daendels Graham frowned at the actions of Jean who drew his sword. He thought his brother might do some stupid thing that put the Graham Family at risk.

He would not allow Jean to act determinedly and immediately approached her to stop her from acting rashly.

...***...

Pitung who had descended from the top of the Light Temple Tower, was confused within the Light Temple for not knowing where to eliminate the Three Strangers.

“Wire! The mission will be over soon!” pitung grumbled in panic when he heard the Clang of the Clock from the Temple Tower of Light, which meant it was now midnight and Juliana was about to die.

Pitung thought for a moment to pay attention to his surroundings, he had already smashed through the wall, hollowed out the foundation of the Light Temple and had yet to find the secret path that made the three strangers disappear.

“Is this Statue of the Goddess of Light the trigger?” pitung muttered in memory of the anime film, in which the main character accidentally presses a button that leaves a trap or hidden door open.

Pitung surrounds the Statue of the Goddess of Light and does not see any special buttons there or magic circles.

“Did I just destroy it? But it won't make the Goddess of Light angry, will it?” Pitung was even frightened because he was under the shade of the Dark God who was the opponent of the Goddess of Light.

Humans, Elves and Dwarves worship the Goddess of Light while Devils, Goblins and Orcs worship the God of Darkness. That is why the two camps were never reconciled and the Two Gods gave their followers Magic in order to defeat the enemy. However, until now no party has won the dispute even though many Demon Kings have died in the hands of Heroes.

As the mission of the Demon King System was about to end, Pitung destroyed the Statue of the Goddess of Light and suddenly an underground passage appeared on the former Statue of the Goddess of Light stood.

“Alamak, great time it was the person who made this secret path,” muttered Pitung with a wry smile, almost desperately looking for the existence of a secret path to the basement.

Pitung went down the stairs and was surprised that he appeared in a very large room. His face instantly shriveled wryly upon hearing the yelling of the girl at the altar.

“Isn't that Devil a Devil who was at the Magic altar summoning that horde of Forest Pigs?” Pitung recognizes the face of Gral who has not been aware of his existence because Gral is focusing on the Ancient Dragon awakening ritual.

He also saw Jean who had grasped tightly the handle of his Sword, as if he was about to save Juliana. However, Daendels Graham confronted him.

[The countdown to Juliana's Witch rescue mission starts now:

Pitung panicked at the notification from the Demon King System.

“Wait! Wait!” Pitung immediately clicked on the Necromancer Magic Item on the Virtual Demon King System Panel.

“God of Darkness... Please this time give something great!” Pitung pleaded in his heart, although he did not know if it was the Dark God who gave himself the Demon King System, he said, but the Devil worshiped him and naturally begged him because his soul entered the body of the former Demon King Zagralaas.

An enormous magic circle suddenly appeared in the space of the former Labyrinth that made everything there look up.

Gral frowned as he realized that the magic circle was Necromancer Magic or Summoning Magic.

“Has the Temple of Light been aware of our activities?” gral asked with a sharp look at Daendels Graham who immediately shook his head, as he had already made sure no one saw them when entering the Temple of Light.

From the magic circle appeared a Level 100 Beast Salamander that instantly spouted Fire at the Ancient Dragon.

The Ancient Dragon crashed into the wall of the Labyrinth which made Senderos City shake violently and the residents thought there was an earthquake.

The process of the Ancient Dragon awakening ritual was interrupted, and the shouting sound from Juliana also stopped as she instantly fainted after her Mana did not flow anymore on the Ancient Dragon.

“Quick bring the girl or she will die soon!” exclamation Pitung on Jean who was surprised by the appearance of Pitung.

“You're an Adventurer in Uncle Don's Bar?” sahut Jean did not think it was Pitung who stopped this ritual and summoned the Beast Salamander through the Necromancer Magic.

“Don't wonder anymore, the girl's safety is more main!” sela Pitung as she approached Daendels Graham. “I did not expect the Lord who was respected by the residents of Senderos City turned out to be a follower of the Devil,”.

Daendels Graham did not respond to Pitung's taunts and he also let Jean through.

“Don't let him take the girl!” gral shouted at his subordinate Demons.

The Devils were about to attack Jean, but suddenly Salamander slapped them until their bodies were smashed into pieces, unable to withstand the might of the Level 100 Beast.

Gral was bluffing his teeth, he did not expect the former Demon King Zagralaas to still be able to summon Salamander even though his strength had weakened.

“Ancient Dragon defeats the Salamander!” gral exclaimed in a desperate voice, as the power of the Ancient Dragon had not yet reached its peak because the ritual process had not yet been completed.

Gral was also not sure the Ancient Dragon could defeat that Salamander.

He only hoped to get a crack to attack Pitung and bring him to the Demon King Eblirt.

If he gets Pitung then the mission in Senderos City is still considered successful even though he cannot bring the Ancient Dragon. However, the Demon King Eblirt must have been very happy that the former Demon King Zagralaas was presented to him.

The Ancient Dragon roared loudly, its voice echoing until it was heard by the entire population of Senderos City.

The residents became panicked, the Adventurers from the local Guild immediately mobilized the Adventurers to face the furious roaring Dragon.

The Saint or the Sacred Leader of the Temple of Light who was in his courtyard immediately turned towards the Light Temple.

He frowned, “Who has tried to revive that Ancient Dragon?”

He was puzzled, the information about the Labyrinth under the Temple of Light was known only to the Great Saints and Sages as well as the Inquisitors alone.

“Take White Ball!” the Exclaim Saint on the Magic Knights guarding him, and the White Ball was a Magic communication tool as well as serving as a Magic Newspaper that was usually in a Guild. “Only Level 100 Magic Knights can conquer that Ancient Dragon!” he said again with a long breath.

He was worried that the Ancient Dragon had come out of the Labyrinth and destroyed Senderos City.

“Hopefully the Magic barrier in the Labyrinth can hold it back until a Level 100 Magic Knight comes from Ella City, after all,” thought again because only in the Big City did Magic Knights or Magicians Level 100 exist and it took a day or two for them to get to Senderos City with flying Magic.
