Suddenly a dazzling light appeared from the thin air in front of Oz. Following the beautiful light, countless blue particles gather and slowly merging, making a new form.

“L-looks like I’ve struck quite the great treasure here,” (Demon Oz)

**********************************************************

“EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!”

“EMERGENCY! EVERYONE PREPARE FOR BATTLE!!!”

The voice of the imperial guards of the Tarot’s capital sounded across the walls. Fedra that’s looking at the continent’s map while thinking some things hears the calls and went outside his base.

“What happen!?” (Fedra)

Fedra’s shout is filled with power and firmness, the panicking imperial guards immediately calm down looking at his supreme general’s calmness and prowess.

“S-s-s-supreme general! A dragon is flying on his way towards the capital! It’s not a lesser dragon but a real dragon! Please follow me, sir!” The imperial guard said.

The imperial soldier leads Fedra to the top of the walls and pointed his finger to the shadow at the distance that keeps on getting larger.

“Indeed… Ring the bells! Everyone prepare for battle! Send one person to ask Ibra to prepare as well!!!” Fedra’s command resounded across the base, the imperial guards and imperial soldiers are all well-trained, everyone immediately took their position and waited for the next command.

Fedra observes the dragon calmly while gripping his ax with full force.

“Fedra! I’m here! Is it true that a dragon is going to attack our capital!?” The just-arrived Ibra asked Fedra as he runs together with the imperial knights on his back.

“Yea, look there Ibra,” Fedra said with a firm expression.

“Merlin’s beard… I never fought a dragon before…” Ibra muttered.

“Yea,” (Fedra)

“”I wonder how strong it is,”” (Fedra and Ibra)

“Hmph! You never changed, huh?” Ibra said with a broad smile.

“You too, Ibra! Let’s have a couple of booze after this fight,” (Fedra)

But when Ibra and Fedra had prepared themselves to fight, a huge voice filled with power suddenly sounded.

“I have a message from my master, he said ‘Calm down, Fedra, Ibra, it’s me,” A deep and powerful voice sounded.

!!!!!?????

“Y-your majesty?” Fedra muttered as he saw the figure that is standing on top of the huge and mighty black dragon.

“That… That’s his majesty!” (Ibra)

Hearing Fedra and Ibra’s mutters, the imperial soldiers, guards, and knights started to get excited.

“That’s The emperor!?”

“That’s the emperor’s demon king clone!!!”

“The emperor is on top of the dragon!?”

“The emperor had tamed a huge and mighty dragon!!!”

The imperial guards, soldiers, and knights shout and cheer for the mighty emperor.

“I’ll explain to you guys later! I need to go to the under-construction imperial castle!” Demon Oz shouted.

Atlas fly through the walls until they arrive above the under-construction imperial castle.

“Atlas, I’ll go down here, I’ll call you again when I need you, you may go sightseeing,” (Demon Oz)

“Okay, thanks, master,” (Atlas)

Demon Oz landed at the ground smoothly in front of the grand imperial palace. But when Demon Oz finally realizes how big of a scale the construction of the imperial palace is, he couldn’t help but have a bitter smile on his face.

(No wonder even though the skeletons work non-stop but the construction still need another 3 months) (Demon Oz)

“Okay let’s focus on this first,” Demon Oz stares at the half-complete huge grand imperial castle for a moment and muttered to himself.

The grand imperial castle is designed to have a lot of functions. The size of the grand imperial castle is five times bigger than any royal castle. Demon Oz’s destination is the empire treasury. The treasury is one of the facilities that almost finished constructed.

“I’ve arrived, time to put the prize,” Oz muttered as he took out a card and put it at the ground.

“Summon [Dungeon Core]” (Demon Oz)

Dazzling blue light suddenly shone, enveloping the whole capital with a dazzling light that gives the magical feeling.

<Dungeon location had been determined>

<What kind of dungeon does host want to make?>

Suddenly a floating board appeared before Demon Oz with some examples of a dungeon like a graveyard, a tomb, etc. But Demon Oz already had a mind of what dungeon he’s going to make with the dungeon core.

“An empire,” (Demon Oz)

<Constructing the empire>

A loud voice that sounded lifeless suddenly appeared at the skies above the Tarot empire.

(T-the prompt’s sounded not inside my head!?)

Suddenly countless blue particles covered the whole magical forest of Everdeen. Rubbles, woods, stones, and all material buildings got covered by the blue particles and flew to all sides.

The huge wall of the imperial capital, goblin royal capital, and other kingdom’s capital got covered by the blue particles. All buildings slowly got covered by the blue particles and slowly changing.

The blue particles enveloped the imperial castle and forming a huge and grand castle, the materials slowly floated and stuck together, countless beautiful runes suddenly formed at all of the pillars by itself. The people of the Tarot empire watched the scene with opened-mouth while getting shocked by the buildings that beautifully formed by itself. As if the gods are building the empire for them.

“Eh? Wait,” (Demon Oz)

***************************************************

In the middle of the magic academy special class.

*Sound of something fell*

“””Ren!”””

Oz suddenly fell and fainted in the middle of the training.

****************************************************

“Sister Elena! Where are you!?” Nash’s voice sounded.

“I’m here, Nash! In the kitchen!!” Elena answered Nash with a helpless smile that appeared on her face. It’s been a while, Nash will always check on Elena whenever he didn’t see Elena for a while, he’s afraid that Elena will disappear and go like Oz too.

“What, Nash? I’m not going anywhere. I’m making the pie Ren taught me before, I’m thinking of trying his recipe,” Elena said tenderly.

“Hm? I’m not thinking that you’ll go anywhere~ It’s just I’m afraid you will get kidnapped by a shadow monster or something~” Nash said adorably.

“A pie? Sister Elena is making a pie?? Yeaay! I’ll go tell the others!!” Nash get out of the kitchen and suddenly a loud sound of footsteps sounded.

“Geez, don’t run Nash!! You’ll fell!!” Shouted Elena. She doesn’t want Nash to fall and cry like he usually does years before.

“But well, he never cries again since Ren left, huh, that guy, where is he, he never contacted me again…” Elena’s expression suddenly changed to an annoyed one as she stared at the ring Oz gave her before he went to the magic academy.

Elena closes her eyes and pours her consciousness to the ring.

“Ren? Do you hear me? Mr. Orc Ren?” Elena mutters softly as she didn’t want anyone to see or hear her calling out Oz’s name while holding to the ring Oz gave her.

“Hmph! He usually contacts me once a week! Why does he didn’t contact me again even though it’s been 2 weeks! Even though the orc card he gave me suddenly summon an orc that turns out to be Ren’s clone and shocked me a lot! But the card and the orc clone suddenly disappears! And now I could only communicate with me from the ring!” Elena muttered angrily as she hits the ring to the ground and then gently stroke it hoping Oz’s voice will appear.

“Sister Elena?” Nash’s voice suddenly appeared behind her.

“KYAA!!!” Elena shouted because of surprise and the ring she’s holding got thrown making the sound of a falling ring.

“W-w-w-w-w-what are you doing here, Nash!?” Elena asked in a panic.

“Hm? I just want to tell you that I’ve told the others. Why are you so surprised? Aren’t sister Elena’s the one who told me not to run?” Nash said innocently.

“W-well that’s true…” (Elena)

“Hm? That’s… Isn’t that the ring big brother Ren gave to sister Elena? Oh~ I understanddd~” Nash’s expression suddenly changed to an expression of a child that ready to do mischief.

“Nash… What are you thinking?” Elena asked Nash while feeling nervous. Elena slowly moved towards Nash preparing to catch him in case he’ll do something stupid.

But Nash also had grown stronger, Nash swiftly run and escape from the kitchen while shouting.

“I HAVE A NEWS~~~” (Nash)

“NASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (Elena)
