Zaneos was not that happy that he was called back even if it was Tang Shaoyang who called him. He barely explored the Dimensional Tower. Barely made any progress since the last time entering the tower. But he still listened to the order and returned with Zowen, Areth, Chang Jie, and Duan Ya.

“Why do you think Ma…. Your Majesty, call us, Sir Zaneos?” Chang Jie was the one that got most excited from the call.

“I don’t know the details, but he mentioned it’s related to my race. We will know soon,” The party had arrived at the main base, on the way to the underground city.

They went to the portal room where Tang Shaoyang already waited for them. The five bowed their heads as a greeting.

Tang Shaoyang was not the only one here. Kalliyan, The Kirin was with him as well Phemrel. Wrath was resting on his shoulder in his small form while Greed was staying inside his shadow. Both returned from The Dimensional Tower faster than Zaneos when he mentioned a war.

“Don’t look so disappointed, Zaneos. I am confident that you will not regret coming back,” Tang Shaoyang smiled and motioned at the party of five to follow him, “There’s something more interesting than The Dimensional Tower.”

Zaneos and Zowen exchanged glances as Tang Shaoyang entered the portal. They still knew nothing about the world beyond the portal, or why specifically Tang Shaoyang needed him.

The two former spirits followed Tang Shaoyang into the portal. Not knowing where they went, the group of five scanned their surroundings as soon as they arrived in the wooden lodge.

They were inside a wooden house with the same portal behind them. Tang Shaoyang was not around which made Zaneos grow cautious a little bit.

“What are you doing? Come follow me! This area is safe!”

Zaneos led the group toward the voice, and they were blasted by the cold air. Zaneos and Zowen were fine with their attributes, but not for Areth, Chang Jie, and Duan Ya. The cold blast caught them in surprise as their bodies shivered.

They were not informed about the cold. They came with their armor and thin clothes inside.

Tch!

Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue as he noticed the three shivered from the cold. From what he heard, the three had reached Epic Rank, and yet they could not fight the cold. He formed a barrier, protecting the three from the cold.

“You can’t compare them with you, Your Majesty. You are special and unique, too high for a standard even for them,” Zaneos commented, “So where are we? And what’s the work?”

Tang Shaoyang motioned them to follow him, “I will brief you on the situation as we head to the location.”

Zaneos listened to the short brief, where they were and why he was called here. He was surprised that they were already in the third phase. He was even more surprised when he found out this was Aqura, where they met Rumru.

Zaneos and Zowen had made a contract with Tang Shaoyang back then. They experienced a short adventure in the Arkania Continent. They were not expecting to return again.

“And you have killed them all?” They remembered the oath with The Black Dragon as well Goddess of Light. Zaneos was even more surprised that all gods were dead already.

“Nope. I killed one. The one with the clown mask. Avyn killed four, Doombringer killed one, and Afi killed one,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head, “That’s not the main issue right now. I just found out that those seven people were actually protected…”

He told Zaneos why he needed him here. It was for the demon talk.

“I will try to talk with them, but I don’t think they will listen to me. From what you described, they are the type that only listened to the strong. If you want them to serve you, then you have to kill that Demon Sovereign.”

Zaneos did not think the conversation would work. But it was worth the try. Moreover, he realized the benefit coming to this world. The dungeons were more important for his disciples than the tower. The tower contained a hidden danger that they might not be able to fight even in the lower floor while the dungeons had their own level.

On top of that, his disciples needed more suitable classes for them. A player could only get one class from each world. The only way for them to obtain their class was the trial or visiting another world, or the Dimensional Tower. The plan would be grinding the dungeon and getting them to the second class before they continued their exploration in the Dimensional Tower.

Zaneos was less annoyed because coming here would help them to catch up with the others quicker. The group followed Tang Shaoyang to the wall, and Zaneos could not help but be amazed by his Emperor.

The Orin Kingdom, The Beastmen Kingdom, welcomed them warmly. He could see how much these beastmen revered The Emperor. From their eyes, it was as if they were looking at God. That was the vibe he got with how these beastmen acted in front of Tang Shaoyang.

The Demon Swordsman was even more amazed that within a few days. His Emperor managed to acquire three kingdoms and the biggest organization in this world as well. Not only did he kill the seven God Ranks, but also gained the new vassals.

He met with the God Rank of the adventurers guild as well as the representatives from the vassal kingdom. Then they arrived at the location where the demon was controlled.

Zaneos might be one of the few who knew how strong Tang Shaoyang was. Despite knowing that, he was still amazed by Tang Shaoyang’s feat within the few days.

“Where’s the demon?” Tang Shaoyang met with Forlan along with the allied force from several kingdoms.

All kingdoms near the Artorakh Kingdom put aside their differences and united their force under the leader of the neutral force, The Adventurer Guild.

“Welcome back, Your Majesty,” Forlan bowed his head in greeting. That simple gesture shocked The four kings. They could not help but to look at the half-demon.

They regarded Tang Shaoyang as half-demon because of his left eye. With a single glance, everyone could tell it was a demon eye. On top of that, there were two demons following this half-demon.

“What’s the meaning of this, Sir Forlan!? Have you betrayed and sold us to the demon!?” One of the kings immediately stepped out and accused Forlan before Tang Shaoyang could say anything.

“A wise king is a good king,” Forlan turned toward the king who accused him, “But not all kings are wise.”
