CHAPTER 29: TIME TO HUNT
★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★
Maximus teleported to room number D-013. He saw the black knights having sex with a succubus. He activated 'Fire Magic' on dagger, then hurriedly separated them and stabbed into her heart and increased the flame to burn her.
The black knight came to their senses, confusing with the situation in front of them.
"Clean up the room yourselves," Maximus said and left hurriedly.
He continues to kill the succubi in the other rooms.
Some of succubi sensed that they will be in danger. They disappeared before they were killed.
★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★
Lorenzo teleported to room number D-214. He saw a succubus started to lure the black knights. He activated 'Wind Magic' to cut off a succubus's head very quickly. He grabbed a sword from black knight in case he could not use magic, then went to the next room.
★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★
Ignacia teleported to the room number B-217. She saw a succubus draining life force from a black knight. She hurriedly grabbed her hair and cut her head off. She hurriedly went to the other rooms and kill the other succubi very quickly.
We killed many of succubi. Some of them could escape.
"Correct their bodies and burn it," Ignacia said.
"Yes, Commander" Lorenzo said.
"There are 12 black knights could not survive from their attacks, Commander" Quince said.
"Do the same and help the others to clean up," Ignacia said.
"Yes, Commander" Quince said and left.

At the demon queen castle,
In Nefus's bedroom,
Nefus, in human form, he has short grey hair, black eyes, high muscled body. He was topping and moving himself on Gratia enjoyably.
"…Faster, Nefus" said Gratia sexily.
Nefus looked at her with lustful thoughts and moved himself faster and rougher.
"…More…" said Gratia sexily. She enjoyed with every move of him.
'Knock' 'Knock'
Nefus and Gratia were deep in lustfulness. They interested nothing but the pleasurable sensation. They moved themselves violently.
'Knock' 'Knock' 'Knock' the sound of knocks became louder.
"Who dare to disturb me?" Nefus asked, angrily.
"It's urgent. I need to talk to Lady Gratia," a succubus said.
"Wait in the meeting room. I will be there in 10 minutes," Gratia said.
"Yes, Lady Gratia" a succubus said.
"You have 5 minutes," Gratia said and looked at Nefus lustfully.
Nefus was enchanted by her charm. He moved himself aggressively, rushing his score.
Gratia felt fresh after she got what she wanted. She went to the meeting room. She saw 6 succubi, her elite underlings, sitting inside.
"What's the matter?" Gratia asked.
"We failed and many of us were killed," one of succubi said.
"How many of us survive?" Gratia asked.
"Twenty including us," one of succubi said.
"Produce your new children," Gratia said, calmly.
"Don't we need to carry out the plan, Lady Gratia?" one of succubi asked.
"Do you want get killed?" Gratia asked.
"But Queen Gehenna might be angry," one of succubi said.
"I didn't see her get out of her room since that day," Gratia said.
The elite succubi looked at each other worriedly.
"Don't worry. I will handle it. Just go there and produce your new children. There is no one can find us there," Gratia said.
"Yes, Lady Gratia" the elite succubi said and left.

3 months passed after Ignacia went to the border.
Estella heard the news that there were many black knights were killed by monsters. She did not get any news from Ignacia since that day. She was worried about her and regretted the things she had done to her.
She went to The Medietas Palace to meet Caelum.
"Father," Estella said. She hugged him and cried in his arms.
"What's happening, Estel?" Caelum asked, worriedly.
"I'm worried about Igna, Father. Do you have any news about her?" Estella asked, worriedly. She cried sobbing.
"She's all right. She might be busy because the demon queen started to attack our empire this time. She's very skilled in fighting. Don't worry, Estel" Caelum said and hugged her, reassuringly.
Estella could not bring herself to talk to him that she had argument with her before she went to border. She said nothing more but cried, sobbing.
"Everything will be all right," said Caelum reassuringly.

At the fortress, the border between Occidens and Pinus forest,
"As we were told about the invisible barrier on the demon queen castle, we tracked the beast-men and beast-women but we lost their traces around here every time. It seemed like they disappeared before our eyes, Commander" one of black mages said and pointed the location on the map.
"There is high possibility that the demon queen castle located in that area, Commander" Lorenzo said.
"Call Captain Felicia for me," Ignacia said.
After a short while, Felicia came inside the meeting room.
"Is it possible for the white mage to see through the invisible barrier?" Ignacia asked.
"It's possible but it's up to the level of that barrier. If the one who cast the barrier possessed very high power, we need the one who possessed very high magic power to check it as well, Commander" Felicia said.
"Am I right in thinking that you're the strongest one among the white mage squad?" Ignacia asked.
"Yes, there is another person who processed high magic power nearly reached to my level as well, Commander" Felicia said.
"All right. I want you to go with the scouting team to check about the invisible barrier," Ignacia said.
"Yes, Commander" Felicia said.
"Take Captain Felicia to that area and protect her. Don't do anything reckless," Ignacia told the black mages.
"Yes, Commander" the black mages said and left.
After a while, the black mages and Felicia came back from the scouting.
"There is a large castle at that area and there are a lot of monsters like army there, Commander" Felicia said, anxiously.
"Is it possible to destroy that barrier?" Ignacia asked.
"If it was you, I think it's possible, Commander" Felicia said.
"The problem is their numbers, the ordo demons, and the demon queen," Ignacia said and asked, "How many members in the hunting team?"
"There are 50 people, Commander" Lorenzo said.
"What do you think? Are there enough members to fight with that army?" Ignacia asked.
"I think there are not enough to fight with those numbers unless we moved the black knights there to help," Felicia said, anxiously.
"It's far from here. We need to find the location to put up the barracks. You go the find the safest area and report back later," Ignacia told the scouting team.
"Yes, Commander" a black mage said.
"I think we can add more 10 people in the hunting team, Commander" Lorenzo said.
"All right. We need more people who were in 'Magus' attribute. I want to finish everything quickly without high risk to the black knights. It would be tough for them if they encountered the ordo demons," Ignacia said, "I will request more people. Don't do anything for now and guard the border."
"Yes, Commander" Lorenzo said.
After we finished the meeting, Ignacia wrote a letter to The Emperor to find more people who were in 'Magus' attribute.
May it please Your Majesty,
The situation at the border between Occidens and Pinus Forest has become intolerable. We have lost many black knights in the past 3 months. Moreover, we found the location of the demon queen castle, with the monster army. I am afraid that we could not handle the situation if they all came to attack us at once.
I realized that The Magic Tower are not willing to the help Mirarus Empire to stay in peace. I think that they should pay triple tax to The Royal Family who always protect the citizen without wanting anything in return.
With all due respect, we could not wait any longer. I hope and pray that the demon queen and the ordo demons will choose to attack The Magic Tower not The Royal Palace after they broke the border here.
I have the honor to remain, Your Majesty
Ignacia De Virtusarium
Ignacia gave a letter to a black knight to send it to the royal palace urgently.

A month passed,
Victoria came with 20 mages from The Magic Tower.
"Your Highness," Ignacia said and bowed to her.
"You're unbelievable in many ways, Igna" Victoria whispered, amusingly.
"Call Vice Commander Maximus and Captain Lorenzo to the meeting room," Ignacia told a black knight.
Ignacia led Victoria to the meeting room.
In the meeting room,
Ignacia informed the current situation to Victoria.
"What is your next plan?" Victoria asked.
"I planned to hunt them but we have low numbers of people who were in 'Magus' attribute. We need to wipe them out. The problem is there are the demon queen, the 3 ordo demons and their underlings remained. It would be tough for the black knights. That's why I requested more people, Your Highness" Ignacia said.
"If so, why don't we, all the people who were in 'Magus' attribute, go to attack them tomorrow?" Victoria asked.
"I would like to do this way since the beginning but our people saw their army and evaluated that our team might not be enough to fight with them all, Your Highness" Ignacia said.
"Just wipe them out as you said. The black knights will be burden when we fought with high magic power. At least we can teleport back here in a worst-case scenario," Victoria said.
"All right. Let change the plan. I will fight the demon queen. There is high possibility that everyone will face the ordo demons and their underlings. The important thing is to stab into their heart and burn it. Don't overdo it," Ignacia told Maximus and Lorenzo.
"Leave only 5 black mages here," Ignacia told Lorenzo.
"Yes, Commander" Lorenzo said.
"I will tell our plan to the mages from The Magic Tower. So, they can prepare themselves for the fight tomorrow," Victoria said.
"Give 'IM Device' to Her Highness, Maximus. And you must protect Her Highness with the first priority. Be careful about a witch. She's wicked and cunning," Ignacia said.
"All right," Maximus said.
After we finished the meeting, Ignacia called Quince and Felicia to meet her at the office.
"Most of the black mages and the other mages will hunt the demons tomorrow. There will be 5 black mages remaining here. I want you to strengthen the protection, being on guard all the time," Ignacia said.
"Yes, Commander" Quince said and left.
"There must be some mages teleport back here after they got injured. I want you to prepare everything to be ready to heal them," Ignacia said.
"Yes, Commander" Felicia said and left.
After midnight,
Gratia sneaked into Ignacia's room. She aimed to enchant and control her mind, letting the other demons and monsters attack here easier.
Ignacia sensed some strange power inside her room. She opened her eyes and used 'The Eyes of Truth'.
<What? Why my power did not affect her?> there were the true words popped up in Ignacia's mind.
Ignacia took out Katana Sword from 'Magic Space', then teleported and aimed to stab into her heart but missed.
Gratia disappeared before she was stabbed. She thought to herself <How could she know I was there? I'm sure I concealed myself very well. She even resisted my enchantment. I will be in trouble if I faced her again. I have to find a chance to run away.>
Ignacia teleported to the wall, using 'The Eyes of Truth' to look around the area but found nothing.
The next day,
Ignacia, Victoria, Maximus, Lorenzo, and 125 mages who were in 'Magus' attribute teleported to the area near the demon queen castle.
"The demon queen castle is around there, Commander" a black mage said and pointed at the area where the demon queen castle located.
Ignacia saw the demon queen castle and the invisible barrier after she used 'The Eyes of Truth'. She activated 'Lightning Magic' in large wave rage to attack the invisible barrier.
The invisible barrier cracked, revealing some parts of the demon queen castle.
Ignacia repeated attacking it with 'Lightning Magic' again.
The invisible barrier was broken after the second hit.
Many beast-men, beast-women, and monsters ran to attack us.
Victoria, Maximus, Lorenzo, and 125 mages activated magic power to attack them.
Ignacia teleported to the main gate of the demon queen castle and went inside. She looked for the demon queen and the ordo demons.
