Chapter 11 - “A Warning Written in Blood”

Next MorningThe slayer returned to King Seriko. "King, I failed to kill him, but I have an important message for you.

This is crucial."Seriko said, "Tell me what information you brought. If I don't like it, I'll kill you for failing your task."The slayer replied, "Fude was not alone.

He was supported by King Leobarko, who sent his commander Leo Duro to the Fude tribe to protect it from our war. I'm sure King Leobarko declared it, so he stopped his movement."Seriko demanded, "What do you mean, slayer? Tell me. I want to know.

"The slayer explained, "King Leobarko gave Fude the rank of swordsman demon king. He wants to become his friend, and both will fight against you, our king."Seriko said angrily, "Leobarko, I hate you both, you idiots! You've ruined my plans.

Now you think you can stop me from achieving my goals?" He broke the wine glass in his hand.Then he turned to his advisor. "You told me the slayer's plan would succeed. Ah, and look what happened."The advisor said, "King Seriko, I know our plan didn't go as expected.

But I think we have enough time to destroy Fude. What do you think, our king? Should we introduce war horror?"Seriko replied, "No, but first I want to talk with Fude. Then I'll decide if he deserves to fight my troops or not.

" He laughed loudly, "Ah ah ah!"Seriko said to the slayer, "You focus on the Welko Kingdom. Make sure it's only a warning for King Felko. Let him know if he or anyone helps my enemy, they must be ready to face me. Now go. I'm providing you my troops.

Today, attack with only 30 demon monsters to warn everyone: if you interfere between two big powers, this is the result."The slayer said, "Got it, my king. I'll attack tonight as per your wishes."Seriko added, "But remember, tell this to Fude: meet with King Seriko. He wants to see him in his arms, not as the first demon king. If he refuses this offer, get ready. I will snatch everyone important to Fude. That's all. Now go.

"Seriko turned to the advisor. "This time, I don't want to hear bad news, got it? If you don't come with good news, I'll cut off your head with my sword.

" He burned with flames of anger.The advisor said, "Don't worry, my king. This situation will never come to kill me. It's my promise. If I fail this time, do whatever you want with me."Seriko said, "Got it. Now you may go. Right now, I want to be alone." In his inner thoughts, Fude, now I'm seeing who will help you.

Ah... ahh.In the Fude tribe, Fude woke up, and everyone went about their work.Fude also came out from his room. Recently, the architecture had been built with many buildings, and the Fude tribe was slowly turning into a kingdom.

He went up the mountain, where he always loved to watch his tribe grow. In his thoughts, Ah, it's been one year since I came to this world, and I've seen so many things.Then Wolfecone arrived on the mountain.

"King Fude, what are you thinking so deeply?"Fude said, "Wolfecone, you don't need to call me king. Call me your master, got it."Wolfecone replied, "Okay, my master Fude, as you wish. But I see your mood is off after the attack."Fude said, "No, it's not what you're seeing. I'm scared of what happens if King Seriko takes a wrong step and war favors it. Then I don't want to harm anyone again. So Wolfecone, you must do what I told you."Wolfecone said, "Master Fude, are you saying that from that day? When you said if I get out of control again, kill me without hesitation?" He stopped for a moment.

Fude said, "Yes, Wolfecone. After my death, you are the next king of my area. I'm sure you're perfect to take my place and always try to take our kingdom to higher positions where I can't go."Wolfecone shook and said, "Master Fude, I can't take your place. You can serve this kingdom better than me, but I don't deserve it, my master Fude."Fude said, "You don't need to worry.

In the future, you'll get your answer why I selected you. Remember, nothing is permanent.

Time changes things. I hope this day never comes, but I'm not sure."Then, in his room, Leo Duro heard a knock on the door.

Leo Duro was on alert. When he heard the knocking, he went near the door and asked the same question he always served: "To whom do you serve?"The spy boy said, "We serve King Leobarko, and we sacrifice our lives for him."Leo Duro opened the door. "Come inside the room fast."The boy entered. Leo Duro locked the door, provided a chair for the spy, and sat on the bed.

"So, King Leobarko sent you again to inform me something?"The boy said, "No, my king Leobarko has given me work to do for you and provide information to protect this kingdom and Fifth Rank King Fude also."Leo Duro said, "Okay, then tell me. Is it important information you have?"The boy said, "Yes.

I got this from the next spy in Seriko's place. They are planning to attack the Welko Kingdom to warn everyone: if anyone interferes in both kings' matters, be ready to face him."Leo Duro said, "Ah, what does that mean? I don't get his point.

Seriko's brain isn't working. What does he want—attack the Welko Kingdom, which is most powerful? He doesn't know. I'm thinking it's foolish.

"The spy said, "You haven't heard the full information. Let me complete first."Leo Duro said, "Oh, sorry. Carry on."The boy continued, "Seriko also said for the slayer to tell Fude: meet King Seriko. He wants to see him in his arms.

If Fude refuses, be ready—he will snatch everyone important to him. That's it. And only 30 demon monsters will attack the Welko Kingdom."Leo Duro said, "Then it's not good news.

I have to inform—" Suddenly, the door knocked.Leo Duro said, "Now you may go from here."The spy boy said, "Okay, I'm going." He used his magical stone and teleported.Leo Duro went near the door to check who it was, taking out all eight of his hands. "Who are you, and what do you want from me?"The goblin leader said, "I am Ongo.

King Fude wants to talk with you, so I came to inform you. If you don't want to come inside, I'm going. That's all."But he didn't know it was a trap to kill him.

He was sent by the third demon king, whose name is Kanrey.Leo Duro didn't think about it. "No, wait. Come into the room. We'll drink tea and talk. Why is Fude calling me?"The fake transformation of Ongo could easily copy any face, shape, even their working and walking style, so no one could tell who was real or fake.

His real name was Narko, commander general of the third demon king Kanrey. He was given the work to kill King Leobarko's commander Leo Duro.

All suspense goes on Seriko, then both kings fight against them and die. In this way, I easily achieve whatever I planned.The fake Ongo, whose name was Narko, sat on the chair. Leo Duro prepared tea for him.Then the fake Ongo took out deadly poison made from venomous snakes. If this snake injected its venom into anyone, in a second they would get extreme pain in the body, then blood would vanish from ears and eyes, attack the heart, and finish the man.

Leo Duro came with the teas, put them on the bed, and said, "Take this, it's for you. This is for me." Then the fake Ongo offered roasted meat—this meat was poisoned.Leo Duro said, "Oh, you always walk with food. That's amazing, Ongo.

" He laughed.Leo Duro took a bite of the meat. In a few seconds, he suffered from the pain, lost control over himself, fell down, and said, "Why did you do this, Fude? Why..."The fake Ongo came into his original form. "Now my work is finished as per the orders of the third demon king." And he left the room.Leo Duro thought, Leo Duro and third demon king... ah, now I'm going to die. He saw his good memories from childhood to becoming a commander.

Fude was walking in the hostel to check if everything was fine, and he also wanted to talk with Leo Duro.He said to the hotel manager, "Can you tell me the room number of Leo Duro?"The manager said, "Yes, come with me."Fude said, "Okay, as you say." Then both reached outside Leo Duro's door.Wolfecone said, "Master Fude, I'm getting too much powerful mana energy from inside the room.

Let me check first."Fude said, "Okay, Wolfecone."Wolfecone opened the door. Everyone shook to see Leo Duro lying on the floor.Fude said, "What happened to him?" He entered the room, sat down near Leo Duro. "This is not right news.

Leo Duro is no more with us. His body has turned dark blue."Fude angrily said, "How was this done in my kingdom? My commander died, and you didn't know? Ah, Ongo, why are you quiet? I want answers from you.

Tell me!"Ongo said, "Master Fude, I really don't know what happened here or who could do this.

"Fude said, "Remember, no one knows Leo Duro died. I want this secret between us only. I don't want anyone to know about Leo Duro's death. Don't let it go to King Leobarko."Fude gave orders to burn Leo Duro's body in the soil tonight without anyone knowing.Then Fude came out from the hotel. He said to Ongo, "Be ready for battle. We don't have much time. Tighten the security of the kingdom.

"And the slayer's 30 demon monsters marched toward the Welko Kingdom.The slayer told his commander, "Lead this troop. I'm going to the Fude kingdom to tell the king his orders."The commander said, "Okay, you may go without hesitation, slayer, and come with good news.

"A few minutes later, the slayer entered the Fude kingdom, everyone in his hands with swords and magic-user goblins.Fude reached out and said angrily, "I know your King Seriko can do these dirty things because he can't face us in the battlefield. So he kills with poison!"
