Back home

Time soon passed, and fortunately for Arthur the road back was relatively smooth

 With no unexpected monsters or assassins appearing like in some novel, the only thing that somewhat left him upset was the stern gaze from Amon he kept getting throughout the journey back

Just feeling his line-of-sight Arthur felt as if he was going to burn a hole through his head.

*However, today was quite an unexpected harvest* Talking to himself Arthur had a smile on his face

Today, not only did he get some new companions to begin his journey with, but he also uncovered some mysteries and hidden abilities of the chaos seed

Thinking back to its many useful functions, although all of them were relatively as important to him, but at this moment one ability made him especially glad

"Mio! Ava! Anna! Are you guys there?"

Communicating with his mind, Arthur used his connections with them to talk to them despite the long-distance

And sure enough, without even waiting for five seconds, three voices sounded from all around him

"Yes, Master! (x3)

Feeling their enthusiasm Arthur couldn't help but have a light smile which was unfortunately caught by Amos who at some point walked up beside him

*Bang! *

Following a chop on his head, Amos's nagging voice soon sounded in his ears

"Young master, may I know why you're smiling?"

"Could it be that you disobeying orders, going deep into the forest, making everyone worry, and getting lost was part of your plan?"

"If so then tell me which part of this plan of yours was most funny?" Saying this Amos had a smile that wasn't a smile on his face.

And Arthur seeing this, just kept quiet not saying anything to him

Rather than making sure to control better his emotions and facial expressions, Arthur continued to talk to the elves

Seating in the soul world, Arthur sat at a round table with three others seated before him

Ava, Mio, and Anno, not only that but three stars light up in the sky making the whole space seem more complete

*Oh? This is quite amazing; it turns out that living things can enter this world if they're my dependents"

*Unfortunately, while this would greatly enhance our intelligence capabilities but I mustn't forget that the number of sub-seeds I can give up has a maximum*

Ignoring the three elves who were curiously looking around their new environment, Arthur after sighing a bit about its limitations began to think about his next steps from here

'You three from here on, out we will encounter dangers so much so that there is no guarantee that we'll come back alive"

"So, if you want to live leave now, for I will not judge you"

Looking deeply into their eyes, Arthur gave them one final leave if they wanted to.

However, none of them did, rather Arthur noticed their eyes seemed to be somewhat firmer than before

"Don't worry Master, we Blood elves have already sworn our loyalty to you"

"To help you become the future demon king as well as free our dying comrades of torture just like the us were," Said Ava

As Ava said this, in the soul world they each knelt on one knee as if to show him your sincerity

But Arthur hearing this couldn't help but look at them Albeit somewhat awkward

*What do they mean to save the other tortured and cursed comrades, do they really believe the story I made up just a while ago? *

Talking to himself, Arthur was shocked that they actually believed him. After all, back on the Blue Star he was never known to be a good actor much less someone capable of cunning three very powerful blood elves such are these

*But then again even if that's the case, then why don't I make use of this opportunity and use this to buy some time while I figure out how to become the demon king*

Murmured Arthur under as he felt a weight go off his chest

Yes, although he had been saying he wanted to be like the first demon king and create a demon kingdom but truth be told Arthur had no idea how to get to that point or even the first step in that direction

Fortunately, Ava's words now just give him an opportunity to stall for time while he thought of something rather than them finding out he wasn't prepared and realizing all his previous words were all a lie

Thinking of this, Arthur turned to face them with a serious face while staring deeply into their eyes at the same time

"You're right Ava, one of the first things we need to do is rescue our cursed comrades and grow our forces"

"Because of that, I'm going to need three of you to go out into the neighboring cities, forests, or villages as you collect information while also searching for our brethren"

"If you find any cases similar to yours, I'll pass you the sub-seed to cure them."

"As for me, I need to remain undercover at the Thorneheart viscounty to plan our demons counter-attack better"

Hearing this, neither Elf said anything as they felt the seriousness of this matter

So after taking a quick bow at Arthur, they began to try the mana and aura methods given to them by him to grow stronger and complete their mission

And as for Arthur, he had also gone back to the outside world as he noticed that he, Amos, as well of rest had successfully gotten back to the mission without any issues

However, after taking another look at the mansion Arthur noticed two people standing at the gate looking at him with serious expressions on their faces

Just standing where he was, Arthur seemed to see their anger materialize in the air wishing to strangle him right now

"Damn! Mom and Dad are really pissed!" cursed Arthur

Yes the two people standing there were none other than his parents in this life, Elias Thorneheart and Sephrina Thorneheart
