'I want to help you, of course.'
"Help me?" Julius wondered. "No. Who exactly are you? Are you a being from that another world?"
'Well, you could put it like that. Though, I actually come from another world far from what you expected,' the voice replied with an answer that made Julius even more confused and worried.
"What... what are you talking about..."
'It doesn't matter now, Julius. You said you wanted to find a way to stop all this, didn't you?' the voice asked. 'I've helped you before. You remember that time when something happened to your family?'
Julius gritted his teeth when he remembered the incident that almost took his family away.
'Yes,' answered Julius, now he has spoken with the voice inside his head after being able to think more calmly.
'I was the one who helped you at that time, Julius. I am Ozynk.'
Julius frowned. His memory was a little hazy about that time. Is it true that this creature named Ozynk is helping him? He did remember hearing his name when he was afraid of what happened to his family that night.
But, did Ozynk really help him?
'I can help you this time too. You want to get rid of all these monsters and chaos, right?'
'Yes...' Julius's head seemed to be filled with fog now. He couldn't think properly and digest everything Ozynk was saying. But one thing is certain, he really wants to stop all this chaos.
'Good, Julius,' Ozynk said. 'I have something so you can stop this. Tomorrow, you must give me ten man.'
'What for?' Julius asked.
'I will lend my power to them. After that, they can act to kill monsters and overcome chaos in your country. Everything will be finished quickly with my help, Julius.'
As if finding an answer amidst the darkness, Julius nodded with a smiling face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Okay! I will give it to you tomorrow. Anything to restore stability to my country!' said Julius.
Julius could almost feel that Ozynk was showing him a grin. But he didn't really see it. It did feel very strange plus Julius' mind was foggy so everything felt even more unsettling.
In the midst of all that, Julius' common sense was still able to come out a little to the surface and ask questions.
'Why are you helping me?' Julius asked.
'No reason, Julius. I just want to help you.'
That answer should make anyone immediately suspicious. But Julius, who was almost overpowered by Ozynk, thought that was a good answer.
'Thank you,' said Julius.
'You are welcome, Julius. You are very welcome...'

After getting enough rest last night now their body condition feels better. Of course, the fatigue they suffered yesterday had disappeared because their Magic energy had been replenished.
Their clones are still in action to replace them in doing their jobs and tasks.
Arty felt a little grateful because she didn't have to go to school and could rely on her clones even though it was a bad move. If only the situation in the world wasn't this bad she would be happy to have those clones. However, even though she didn't go to school Arty had to do something even more troublesome. That is stopping this mess by placing those stakes.
Arty turned to Billy and Adrien who were in the same car. Just like her, their faces also showed reluctance. Today they have to do the same thing again without being appreciated by the people they protect.
But Arty thought that was actually a good thing. She has seen too many effects when you are known by many people.
The three of them were once famous as the three heroes who had stopped the years war with the Elves. In one way or another only they know.
At that time, there were no journalists or anyone who met Erend and Billy because they were still living in the Slums. So the journalists definitely don't want to go to that slum and dirty place.
However, now that they are no longer living in the Slums, there is no reason for the journalists not to visit them. That could be an annoyance and Arty didn't want that to happen.
Although in truth, she also felt a bit sorry for the three of them because neither of them even acknowledged for the help they had done to the world. But Arty thinks it's for the best.
"We have to deal with the rest of Adaeram today," Adrien said. It was not an ordinary greeting but more of an order.
"Yes, sir." Erend and Billy answered together.
"But, are the Elves capable of that?" Arty asked. "Besides Erend, they are the ones who work the hardest among us."
"You're right, Arty," Billy said, slightly apologetic. "Too bad our Magic is still not good enough to do that teleportation."
Erend snorted. "You don't need to feel so down, Bill. You think teleportation Magic is something you can do after just a few practice sessions?"
Billy snorted with a chuckle. "You're right. But I'm actually quite ambitious."
They arrived at the former dojo building when the sun had not yet risen but the sky in the east was already showing a reddish tint. It was only 5 am but this time was already quite late for their departure.
As soon as they went inside, it turned out that Aurdis, Aerchon, and Saeldir were already inside. They were gathering to talk about something in their languages when Erend, Billy, Adrien, and Arty entered the building.
"Are you ready?" Aurdis asked accompanied by her beautiful smile.
"We are always ready for the grueling task of saving the world," said Billy. His voice said something different from his words.
"We just have to place another 43 stakes, right?" he asked.
"Yes," Aurdis replied. "Let's begin."
Aurdis and Erend teleported to the nearest Magic circle from the location they wanted to go to. Then Aurdis put the Magic veil on Erend and he activated his transformation.
Erend took Aurdis to fly to the next location at a higher speed than yesterday. He did that to quickly get to that location.

When that morning General Lennard and Thomas entered Julius' president's room, they were surprised to find the president already up from his bed.
He stood in front of the window and stared at the scenery outside where the vehicles were still passing by along with the tired-looking soldiers and medics.
"Mr. President!" General Lennard said in a surprised tone. "You can wake up already."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, Jacob," said Julius. "You're awake."
Because Julius was facing the other way General Lennard and Thomas couldn't see the black glint that filled the president's eyes. Something inside Julius's body stares at the world that spreads out in front of him, at the new creatures to conquer.
Moments later the black glint disappeared, and the president's eyes returned to normal. He turned to face General Lennard and Thomas.
"How are things going?" Julius asked.
General Lennard and Thomas both felt that something was wrong with the president but they couldn't wrap their minds around that. Taking it as an effect of their exhaustion, the two of them immediately shook off the thought.
"We have good news, sir. Somehow, the citizens are less aggressive than in the last few days. They are more easily routed and don't put up much resistance," General Lennard replied.
Julius's forehead wrinkled. "They become less aggressive?"
"Yes, we don't know why but it is a good thing."
Julius looked the other way with a confused expression instead of relieved. General Lennard and Thomas exchanged glances at his strange behavior.
"Yes." Julius suddenly turned to them and smiled. "That is something good."
General Lennard smiled. he said. "We will still carry out strict patrols and guards, sir. Even though the situation seems to be improving we don't know what will happen. So we cannot let our guard down."
Julius nodded. "That's the right decision, Jacob. And I want to request something from you."
"What is it, sir?" General Lennard asked.
"I want to ask ten soldiers to be my bodyguards. Can you do that?"
General Lennard frowned. "I-I think I can work on it. Pardon my impudence, but... why do you want to have extra bodyguards?"
"You know what happened to me, right? I was suddenly attacked at my house. My family is being threatened, Jacob. I can't let that happen again so I want extra bodyguards," Julius said. "I want them to come as soon as possible."
General Lennard nodded, despite some hesitation. "I'll take care of it soon, sir."
After that, because Julius said he wanted to rest again, General Lennard and Thomas came out of his room.
"Do you feel something strange about Mr, President, Thomas?" General Lennard asked as they were walking down the corridor.
"Uhh... Actually, yes, General." Thomas didn't expect General Lennard to say that to him. Thomas knew that the General admired the president so much that Thomas thought he would ignore such an obvious sign.
"Something wrong about him."
