The Capital

"My Lord, there is a group who has erased two cities, this might cause the war to start early. This will be a problem since it was predetermined to be a few hundred years later." An old man with long grey hair said while his right knee was on the ground.

He was facing a fleet of stairs that reached a few tens of meters in the air and sitting on top of a red throne was the Demon King himself! Well, at least, those in the Demonic Cult call him that. Every one of the Demonic Cult Leaders inherits such a title upon becoming the Head of the Demonic Cult.

Humph!

"Even if the war will come early than expected because of unknown individuals, nothing has changed from our only goal. It matters not what those individuals' plan is, when the great Demon Immortal is re-awakened, only he alone will be enough for us demons to rule this world!"

The Demon King said. His voice powerfully resounded throughout the throne room, as a thick red-colored aura suddenly shrouded the air. A feeling of blood and death then went on to cause shivers and cold sweat to appear on the body of the old man.

"Now, get out and call my disciple in!" He ordered the old man with his face resting on his palm. The old man waited no longer and immediately exited the room, thereafter a figure entered.

He had long white hair and more feminine creatures than that of a male, but the aura surrounding him would strike fear into most beings.

"Hmm, have you gotten stronger once more?" The Demon King asked his disciple, who replied with a smile on his face.

"Of course, you did send me on a mission to wipe out quite a few strong people. And, we both know that eating is the best way for me to grow stronger." He said. The expression of the Demon King froze slightly before he then said.

"Hmm, okay, well since you want to face strong people, you should form a group and head toward the Heavenly Body continent where a few events that I did not count for, are currently taking place."

The Demon King said. The face of his disciple changed into a frown, causing the Demon King to quickly follow up by saying.

"Do not worry, once you complete this mission in investigating who is the cause of the destruction of two cities, then I will prepare a teleportation circle for you to re-enter the Sword Art continent, and get your revenge!" He said.

Seeing the smile reformed on his disciple's face, he then said.

"Now go, prepare your group and go kill those unknown variables in charge of quickening the war. I am sure you'll become even more strong...right Seth?"

"Yes, I will!" He said while thinking.

'Saber, my revenge will come, and you will die by my hand!'

(Heavenly Body Continent)

Appearing in front of a massive gateway, Saber, who was in his true human form, walked up to the city guards standing in front and said with a bright and dazzling smile on his face.

"Hey guys, do you know what today is?" Saber soundly asked with a bright smile on his face while appearing next to one of the city guards. With his arm around his neck as if they were really good friends, Saber then continued.

"I am feeling really good. You know, I feel soo good that I am not even going to use any sort of tricks for you guys' death day. I will first kill you four, then walk into the city and head straight to your king."

Saber said, then he went on to explain to the dumbfounded group of city guards how he was about to kill them. Even when they were surrounded by people in carriages who were trying to enter the city, Saber still excitedly shared the process in which they'll die.

"Hey, who do you think you are to block our young master's path!" Suddenly behind Saber, a human who seemed to be a guard wearing metallic silver armor shouted in Saber's direction.

"Hmm, you people truly don't know what's good for you." Saber said. The guard's words caused him to turn around, as the long dirt road that spanned for hundreds of meters before it then connected to the inside of the forest, was laid bare in his view.

Watching the few hundred carriages that probably had all types of high-class humans in them, Saber snickered as he brought his fist to his chest. Thereafter, Saber casually formed the action of a punch, causing some incredible and somewhat illogical and disastrous results.

Crack!

Boom!!

The surrounding air formed spider cracks as the winds churned! The very dirt road was completely obliterated as all those who were on it were completely annihilated!! A part of the forest that was located hundreds of meters away from Saber was also missing, along with it, the only thing that was left was a large twenty-meter pool of blood and guts.

It seemed that Saber's casual punch caused an air blast that completely destroyed everything in its path in a couple of thousand-meter path!

The guards who stood behind Saber were left completely flabbergasted by Saber's actions. One must know that such power was never seen by anyone in this kingdom, not even their king had shown such power.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

All four guards dropped limply to their knees as their eyes bulged and their mouths formed O shapes. Such power is something that they simply couldn't hope to ever comprehend. Watching Saber, they now knew how it felt to have their life in the hands of another.

It wasn't a lie to say that Saber's figure seemed like that of a god to the four guards. But, while they still were in their shocked states, Saber's figure disappeared from the front of the four guards as he appeared walking through the city gates.

One can now see the heads of the four city guards falling to the ground as their bodies soon followed suit. While walking into the city streets, Saber said out loud as the humans who were present only split and created a path for Saber to walk as they shivered in fear since they were lucky enough to see Saber's display of god-like strength.

"Hmm, the first city was a poison, the second was an illusion, what will this city be...?" Saber said. The surrounding humans began sweating bullets after hearing Saber's words while some even lost consciousness due to extreme pressure.

"Haha, I get it. I know what I'll do!" Saber said as he then went on to gaze at the palace a few tens of thousands of kilometers away from him. His figure then began floating in the air, as thereafter, he blasted off towards the King of this Kingdom.

His speed was unreal as he only needed 30 or so seconds to reach the capital.

(A Few Seconds Ago)

"What was that?!"

A deep manly voice filled with power and authority resounded throughout the palace room. He had short black hair and sharp eyebrows with beautiful green eyes. His expression though, was that of a frown since he had suddenly sensed a feeling of dread.

He stood up from his mat and began walking toward the exit of his room. But, just as he was about to push the doors of his room open he heard...

"You know... your daughter was truly tasty."
