The battle went smoothly in the beginning. But soon, everyone started to realize that no matter how many demons they slew, there are no signs of ending them.

(This is not my imaginations. The enemy's number really didn't decrease even though we've slew countless of them... This is bad... There is only one explanation why this is happening) (Oxius)

Oxius retreats together with his old friend. As their back meet each other, both of them knew that something is wrong with the situation.

"Kyron..." (Oxius)

"Yeah, I realized it too... Any leads?" (Old man Kyron)

"It's not that a h.e.l.l's gate is opened near the capital, but I think they're bringing the h.e.l.l's gate together with them," (Oxius)

"Is that true? What makes you said that?" (Old man Kyron)

"A hunch," Said the old magic G.o.d.

Both of them had killed all of the stronger demons, but yet, there is no sign of the demon army retreating.

"Normally thinking, if " (Oxius)

!!!!!!!!

"another one!?" (Old man Kyron)

"No, that's wrong. There's a lot of them..." (Oxius)

Presences with an enormous amount of demonic mana that made the kingdom's soldiers s.h.i.+vers suddenly appear. But that's not the only thing that made Sera and co felt like they had lost their light of hope.

"I-impossible..." (Sera)

"...." (Sen)

"d.a.m.n... Even with six sword G.o.ds and two magic G.o.ds, an endless stream of demons are still too much..." Alfred said with a wry smile.

From their front, from their left, and from their right. Another army of demons appear from the unknown yet no one saw a h.e.l.l gate that supposed to be the medium that the demons used to enter this realm.

When everyone is having their morale fell to the lowest ground, Sera strangely got absorbed in a nostalgic feeling.

(Just like in that time) (Sera)

(The light of hope that fades away) (Sera)

(The endless army of demons) (Sera)

(The light of hope that starts to fade from everyone's heart) (Sera)

(But the pain and the stench from the blood felt more real) (Sera)

(Will he come like how he saved us inside my dream?) (Sera)

(Stupid. To think that the day where I will expect a miracle like that to happen will come...) (Sera)

After killing more than five hundred demons, Sera starts to feel fatigued, her arm felt sore, and her head felt dizzy because of the blood's stench.

"Human..." A rough voice appears behind Sera.

When Sera turns her back, she saw five huge demons with a pitch-black body and a huge horn holding two greatswords in both of their hands.

(Their mana isn't lower than mine, should I use the endless cold's skills now?) (Sera)

Increasing the force of her grip, Sera about to prepare to use the endless sword's skills. But before she could unleash it, unexpectedly, yet fortunately, the miracle that she's hoping suddenly happened.

*Sound of a war horn*

Sera doesn't really remember the sound of the war horn she heard at her dream, but she somehow convinced that the war horn she's currently hearing is the war horn she heard inside her dream.

The majestic feeling from the rhythm.

The sound of the war drums that increases the battle spirit.

And the sound of the strong footsteps that getting near on each second.

(R-Ren?) (Sera)

Sera couldn't help but search for the figure that she saw inside her dream, hoping that just like inside her dream, he will appear too together with the unknown army that saved her and her kingdom.

There, the demons and the people from the Grandaria kingdom saw a huge black banner with four symbols of Tarot cards imprinted at four sides of the flag and a huge tree in a midst of a forest and a dragon.

Knights from various races that equipped with magic weapons and black heavy armors. Even though their number is not that many, but their presence alone give pressure enough to make the demons halted their attacks.

Sera felt that the flag somehow felt weird because it has too many images on the flag, but yet, the flag they're carrying is big enough to make the image looks beautiful and majestic.

"Advance, slaughter those filthy demons," A clear voice sounded from the unknown army's direction, judging from how he's ordering the army, Sera deduced that he's the general of the army. But yet, it's not the voice she's searching for.

Those black armored knights advanced to the demon ranks without showing even a little hint of hesitation in groups and slay the demons quickly. Everyone gasped when they saw them fighting. They coordinate with each other perfectly and fight very skillfully as if all of them had gone through countless battles together.

Despite they came from various races, they made perfect teamwork with each other. Each of them knew the specialty of their own races, the orcs took the position as a tank, the centaurs become vanguards and bring havoc to the opponent's formation, the goblins skillfully fight as a Middle guard together with the beastmen, the elves ride huge birds and shoots from the sky.

As the undead had obtained an ability to change into a human form, they're currently fighting while using their human form to avoid troubles.

"S-so strong!" Albus couldn't help but praise.

Their number is only 6,000. But despite their small number, they still split their army into three parts, defending the Grandaria kingdom's armies from all three sides: West, East, and North where the demons attacked.

But even though their number is small, they still managed to push the demons' army back. The grandaria kingdom's army regains their morale and formation after getting a sudden reinforcement from an unknown army.

But as they saw how the black knights fight a little bit longer, they realized that the way they fight, the way they protect the Grandaria kingdom's soldiers, and the way they appear and bring hope to them made them remember about the rumor of the heavenly knights that saved the Grandaria kingdom territories from the demons' attack three years ago.

Coming with a small number, saving the people, and slaying the demons in ease made all of them sure that they're the heavenly knights of the legend. It only needs a spark to lift the spirits of the Grandaria kingdom's soldiers and have their morale heighten to the peak.

"T-that's the heavenly knights that saved my family three years ago!!!"

"Yea! They definitely are them! They had come to save us!"

"Forward!!! Support the heavenly knights!!!"

Sera and co saw their soldiers regain their spirit and rushed towards the demons without any fear. Like a spark that lit a fire, the heavenly knights burn the Grandaria kingdom's soldiers spirits to the point where they forgot their fear. Roughly counting, the demons still have more than 40,000 soldiers which are still increasing, but yet, Sera and co saw their soldiers together with the heavenly knights starting to push the demons back.

Looking back towards the direction where the heavenly knights came from, Sera saw a group of heavenly knights that didn't rush towards the demons together with the other heavenly knights. They slowly walk towards Sera's direction.

(T-that person...) (Sera)

A figure leading the group caught Sera's attention.

But after holding a rare high expectation, rather than the brown-haired man that she's hoping to appear, a white-haired man walks in front of the group and lead the group.

"......." (Sera)

Not seeing the figure she's hoping to appear, Sera couldn't help but felt a lingering pain inside her heart.

A feeling she rarely felt as she never holds an expectation towards anything.

Disappointment.

Sera let out a soft sigh.

(Idiot. Of course, believing a dream that felt like a prophecy is too absurd, to begin with) (Sera)

"Name yourself!" (Sera)

"I'm the amba.s.sador of the great Tarot empire, Slime Tarot. You can just call me Slime. We came as an order from our great emperor," said the white-haired man.

"Tarot empire?" (Sera)

"Yes, Tarot empire. The one inside the magical forest of Everdeen where the divine world tree, Yggdrasil existed," (White-haired man)

"Divine world tree?" Sera tilts her head, confused.

"Ah! I'm sorry. It should be around this time..." Following the man's words, an unexpected phenomenon happened in the middle of the battle.

Crack!

The ground cracked and shook, causing the demons and the Grandaria kingdom's soldiers to paused for a while, but not the Tarot's soldiers. They've heard that the emperor has something big to show at the coronation, and even if they're outside the empire, they will still able to see it from the distance.

A tree quickly grows bigger and soar to the sky in a short time. The huge tree came from the direction of the magical forest of Everdeen. Sera, Alfred, Albus, Peter, Sen, Albus, the Grandaria kingdom's soldiers, and even the demons gasped in front of the spectacle

"Yup, we came from there. Nice to meet you," said the white-haired man with a smile.
