Inside the royal palace of the Potterland kingdom.
Bam!
A person slammed a table.
“HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?”
A loud shout that filled with anger enveloped the room with fear.
No one could answer the question.
“Does Gracefield betrays us? It’s impossible! Both of us aimed for Grandaria’s land for so long. Then What!? Who!? Who is it that dares to ruin my plans!?”
“Those nobles from Grandaria are too greedy to betray us, then who!? We lost 3/4 of our elite soldiers in just one night and even a piece of information is heard about the reason for their loss! So who, should I blame for this humiliation!?”
Silence enveloped the room for a while until the prime minister of Potterland decided to voice his thoughts.
“We apologize for our weakness, your majesty. But we couldn’t think of any reason for our elite soldier’s loss. There is no information about the Grandaria’s queen mobilizing her troops, and their nobles are as shocked as us, And Gracefiels is not that different. Gracefield decided to stay put for another year and gather more information because of that incident. I couldn’t help but also think that there is a third party that defended Grandaria,” The prime minister bows and said.
Potterland’s king sighs.
“I apologize… I lost my temper because of the stress of losing such precious troops in one swoop. Indeed… I agree with your thoughts, prime minister. But IF. IF it’s true that there is a third party that could defeat our elite troops that feared by the continent in one night and silently. It means we might be facing a foe that is far more dangerous than Grandaria,” (Potterland’s king)
“What do you mean, your majesty?” One of the ministers asked Potterland’s king.
“If there are soldiers more than 20,000 in number mobilize near Grandaria, there must be some people who saw them. But not even a single piece of information of a group of soldiers mobilizing near that place found. Do you get what I mean?” Potterland’s king stares at the minister with sharp eyes.
“You mean…” (Potterland’s Minister)
“Yes, it means the one that defeated our elite soldiers are fewer than our elite soldiers in number. In short, it means they’re far more elite than us,” (Potterland’s king)
“Impossible…” The ministers mutters as their king declared that there are soldiers stronger than their elite soldiers. They are so confident with their kingdom’s elite soldiers.
“This opponent of us… A great leader is needed for a great army… We might have stumbled on a difficult enemy to handle…”

!!!
(W-what exactly happened…) (Demon Oz)
Demon Oz opened his eyes and saw a ceiling that covered with expensive designs and beautiful runes.
“Where am I?” Demon Oz observes his surroundings.
The room is huge and he’s sitting on a king-sized bed. The room is filled with decorations and countless colorful runes. Demon Oz tries his best to memorize what happened.
“Ah! I remember! The prompt!” Demon Oz exclaimed as he remembered.
*Sound of the door being opened*
“So you’re awake,” A figure wearing the clothes of Tarot’s emperor entered the room.
“Slime…” Demon Oz called the person who entered the room.
“Yo, demon. You finally wake up, do you noticed something?” The person who is just like him, a clone, said to Demon Oz.
“Don’t tell me… This is the imperial palace!?” Demon Oz exclaimed in shock.
“Correct, this is the imperial palace. You’re the last clone to wake up, I’ve given the instructions to the others for them to do. I guess you wake up the last because you have the most exp amongst us since that dragon you found is also still in the middle of a slumber. it’s lucky for us that he didn’t fell on any building you know,” (Slime Oz)
“The last clone… Wait, does the real body hasn’t wake up yet?” (Demon Oz)
“Yes, well it’s only 5 days since all people of the empire suddenly fainted on the spot, I’m guessing he hasn’t wake up yet because he’s our real body you know? The root of our powers are all inside of him, it’s normal for him to have the upgrade by the prompt a little bit longer,” (Slime Oz)
“So everyone fainted and got upgraded?” (Demon Oz)
“Yea, I don’t if it could be considered good news or not, but every race got upgraded, all of them had kinda changed from their usual race,” (Slime Oz)
“Changed?” (Demon Oz)
“Yea. Changed. Well, let me explain to you from the beginning,” (Slime Oz)
Orc Oz had embarked on a journey and invites all kinds of races to join the Tarot empire together with the Imperial generals. Orc Oz managed to make the cyclops, ogres, trolls, ents, and druids to join the empire. Since their number is not high, Slime Oz didn’t give them lands to make their kingdom, Slime Oz just gives them lands to make their cities near the imperial capital.
Slime Oz intended to make them the guard points of the imperial capital, they’ll be responsible for the safety of the imperial capital. Since they only joined recently, their cities’ constructions are just started recently too. But because of the dungeon core that Demon Oz put at the treasury, the constructions all over the empire suddenly finished.
“Finished? So not only the imperial castle but all other constructions too?” Asked Demon Oz.
“Yup, the imperial walls, imperial training grounds, imperial colosseum, the kingdoms’ royal walls, royal palace, and more. All of them got finished overnight. And all of them got constructed in even greater forms than the blueprints that Thydal and I’ve made,” (Slime Oz)
“Greater? So even the buildings got upgraded?” (Demon Oz)
“Yea, you really got a huge haul by getting the dungeon core. The imperial walls suddenly got even stronger and have several golem ballistae, catapult, trebuchet, and huge adamantine towers, there are even dozens of magic towers installed on the imperial walls, while only four magic towers installed on the kingdoms,” (Slime Oz)
“The imperial moat had got wider, and the imperial gate suddenly gets stronger than magic adamantine in hardness. While the last but not least, the imperial castle had some mysterious defense system, and all of the statues in front of the imperial castle, I could sense mana from inside of it, it looks like they’ll turn alive when the imperial castle is in danger,” (Slime Oz)
“But not only the buildings. Our people also got upgraded, all of them had some changes, but the most shocking one is the undead, all of them suddenly have a human form,” (Slime Oz)
“A human form?” (Demon Oz)
“Yea… They could change from the undead form into a human form, some other races that are too different from humans suddenly got the ability too, all of them got a boost on power and get more intelligent so we could even send more spies to the human countries,” (Slime Oz)
“Why do you look like that even though all of it is good news and it’s very benefitting for us?” Said Demon Oz as he’s thrilled when he heard that the empire had grown so invincible in such a short time.
“I’m also thrilled when I saw and observe it at first, but I soon calm down when I heard the news, rather than I calm down, I needed to calm down to plan more things ahead,” (Slime Oz)
“News?” (Demon Oz)
“Yea, Brad reported to me that he saw five huge demon portal had been opened on the far south. Each of them had a [King] ranked demon guarding it, the demon beasts back then are not that strong, and it’s easy for us to repel them, and we even get them to our side,” (Slime Oz)
“Ah! I see…” (Demon Oz)
“Yea… They tried to remove us from their chessboard by manipulating the magic beasts, but because they failed on doing that, and even have one of their gate destroyed by us, it looks like they decided on having a full war on us,” (Slime Oz)
“So they’ve finally considered us as a hindrance on their plans,” (Demon Oz)
“Exactly, but I figured out that I underestimated them too much. Brad scanned the far south alone and finally found them inside a cave, and the cave is very isolated that people would usually think that someone can’t be there, and the reason for that is because they camouflaged it. Do you get what I mean?” (Slime Oz)
!!!
“It means we don’t know where and how many gates are there in this forest. And if all of the gates have a [King] ranked guarding them…” (Demon Oz)
“Precisely, We’ll be facing a far stronger army than the magic beasts,” (Slime Oz)
