Chapter 4: War, Hero, Goddess
Nexusia Magic Kingdom-the neighboring kingdom of the Falran Kingdom, situated in the south of the Falran Kingdom.
At the moment, the two Court Magicians of Nexusia Kingdom sat at a table with the King, Divine Knight, and Hero of Nexusia Kingdom.
"Your majesty, we sensed great disturbance from Falran kingdom's capital. Communications to there are strangely closed off as well."
"Something must have happened during their Hero Summoning. They were going to do it today."
Both court magicians spoke one by one. One was a busty red-haired woman wearing a maroon dress, while the other was a white-haired old man with a long goatee.
The Divine Knight was a dark blond-haired man in his forties. His brows creased as he said, "Anything more specific?"
"One of my skills did give me a hint," the blue-haired handsome Hero said with a faint smile. He looked in his mid-twenties.
"Hero Jackran, what did you discover?" the King curiously asked.
Jackran narrowed his eyes and said, "I sensed a great amount of demonic aura from there. Given that communications are off right now, I believe that we should send a team to check out the situation at Falran Kingdom's capital."
"Demons? But we are at the south-east of Lightdusk Continent. The invading demons from Demonic Continent shouldn't be a threat to us so soon," Divine Knight frowned.
Jackran shrugged and said with a smile, "I have no idea, but my detection skill can't be wrong."
"Demons at our back..." King Nara frowned, his brows wrinkling.
After two seconds of silence, King Nara's expression turned stoic and he looked at the red- haired woman, "Court Mage Lara, please select some subordinates to your liking and head to Falran Kingdom. I want to know what is happening there."
He then looked at the Divine Knight and continued, "Knight Sumeran, you are well known throughout the Falran kingdom. I want you to contact the four Dukes of Falran and other big nobles for a meeting."
"Make haste."
The Divine Knight and Court mage Lara stood up and nodded.
"Understood."
"Great! Let's go fast," Aleron grinned, thrilled. "I want to become powerful and go on adventures."
"We shall descend after I use some spells on you. Please wait," Darzax said before his aura changed and Aleron started hearing notifications while feeling strange, but comfortable.

'Holy shit!' Aleron was dumbfounded as he read those skills' effects!
"This city doesn't seem to have anyone coming close to my power, so you will be safe with
these buffs, my lord," Darzax smiled.
'Safe? I am fucking unkillable now,' Aleron internally laughed out loud.
Most of the skills were supportive, but the last one was different. 'Grave Sense is cool. So I can sense the location of anyone who has the intention of killing me within 1 kilometer around
me.'
"Thanks, Dax," Aleron grinned. "Let's go now."
Darzax nodded and waved his staff, causing the black crystal ball on it to glow faintly before both of them disappeared.
The Golden Shadow Undead Dragon also vanished into the mist a second later while Darzax and Aleron emerged from the darkness in a narrow alley near the slum area of the city. "The Adventure Guild is nearby, let us go," Darzax said as the duo joined pedestrians on the footpath of the street.
