It was two days until the date to attack the demon kings. The constellations led by Aries recruited soldiers from all over the place on their way to the Orca Kingdom. It wasn’t just the soldiers of Metheus and Windia. Mido received support from other lords through social media promotions and the price for the help was simple. It was ‘the first person who captures it is the master.’

They released the announcement that they were going to kill the demon king in the Orca Kingdom and tens of thousands of troops were quickly recruited. Now they reached Orbis which used to be called the traveler’s resting place. It had been a long time since it had lost its old appearance.

Mido frowned deeply as she saw the shattered walls and burned remains. “Orbis is gone in such a meaningless way.”

It was well-known that Leonardo, the king of Orca, had ordered the raid of Orbis. It was because videos of users who were present during the raid spread through Arkstagram. Many of them had lost their castles. Among the troops gathered now, there were those who had been lords in the past. Their purpose was to retake the castles that had been lost. Right now, it was time to split up the troops to recapture the castle.

“We will go west to Nix Castle.”

Then we will go to Legu Castle in the northeast.”

“Silica Castle in the south-west...”

In this way, half of the tens of thousands of troops left to reclaim their castles. The constellations followed one by one to help them. After they achieved their purpose, they would all come to the final destination, Orca. It was promised to lend the players the constellations in the first place.

[Start moving again!] Aries yelled and the group started heading toward Orca again. The sound of horseshoes and the soldiers’ weapons mixed together for a long time.

It happened at this time...

[Save me.]

“......?”

Mido suddenly looked around from where she was riding on a horse.

“Did I hear incorrectly?”

Mido didn’t notice anything unusual, so she grabbed the reins and moved forward again.

[Please save me...]

Once again, there was a voice in her ears. It was a much clearer voice than before. The one who called for her felt very familiar. Just then, sparks appeared over Mido’s head.

[The painter star, ‘Monet da Vinci,’ is asking for your help.]

“Monet...?” Mido realized it was Monet da Vinci who was calling her. She quickly drove the horse forward.

“Hiyah!”

“Mido?”

“What are you doing?”

Kim Sujeong and Ma Seokdu cocked their heads at the same time. It was the same for the Icarus Guild members. Mido stopped again as she slowly heard Monet da Vince’s call for help. To be exact, it wasn’t what she heard, but what she felt. There was a faint aura that could be felt when she closed her eyes.

Mido immediately turned around and spoke to Aries, “I’m sorry. It seems I have to leave here.”

[What’s going on?]

“My constellation just sent me a rescue request.”

[Monet? It is that painter?]

“Yes. He just sent a rescue request to me.”

[Um, it turns out that Monet da Vinci wasn’t in the Celestial Palace. He is a very gloomy guy, so I always thought he was in a dark corner painting. It turns out it wasn’t the case.]

Aries touched her chin and frowned. The golden hair became even curlier.

Then Kim Hyeonu, Park Taehyeon, and Eun Jeonghyeok approached from behind.

“Mido, you said that your constellation is in danger?”

“This is becoming complicated.”

“Sending a rescue signal...”

The three of them had complicated facial expressions. Mido remained silent. In any case, the choice had to be made by the chief commander Aries. Aries closed her eyes for a moment before making a decision. [It is important to kill a demon king, but it is also important to obtain more constellations. Go. Go and save Monet. We will be fine here.]

Following Aries’ words, Cat Baker came over.

[Go. Nyang~ In any case, Satan in the Orca Kingdom isn’t my opponent. It is because I am superior to him. Nyang~] Cat Baker spoke while throwing away the fish bone she was eating. Kim Sujeong made a regretful expression.

“I’m sorry, Mido. I want to go along with you, but I have to use my skills for a lot of people here."

“I know. I understand.”

“Instead, why don’t you take this foolish bear?”

“What?”

Ma Seokdu looked astonished by Kim Sujeong’s words that came out of nowhere.

"Please go for me. Help them out.”

"No, I should be next to you...”

“Ah. Just go!”

Kim Sujeong’s hand left a clear stamp as she slapped Ma Seokdu’s arm that was the size of a thigh. Ma Seokdu couldn’t even scratch his arm because he couldn’t reach it. The place where he was hit was very bitter. What was this woman’s touch?!

[No. I will follow.]

[Musca...?]

Aries looked at the wasp constellation, Musca, with surprise. It was because Musca once told Monet da Vinci that he was a lazy person who wasted his outstanding ability. Aries wondered why Musca wanted to go.

[This must’ve happened because the slacker buried his outstanding ability. I am going to tell him something bitter this time.]

Two pairs of wasp wings vibrated and Musca’s body floated in the air. It was an act that demonstrated his firm will to go. Aries sighed uncontrollably.

Just then, another person stepped out. This time, it was two.

[I will go too.]

[I will also go.]

[Chiron? You are going as well? Lepus? You too?]

Chiron, the archer zodiac, approached with the sound of horseshoes. Behind him was the rabbit constellation, Lepus. Lepus was one of the constellations dedicated to Hecatiana. It was probably the same for Monet, so he stepped forward.

[...Hmm, then if you think it is dangerous, come back directly.]

Musca, Mido, Chiron, and Lepus all nodded simultaneously.

Meanwhile...

Santa Claus, Park Maksun, and I barely escaped from the inside of the ice castle.

“Phew. Fortunately, I wasn’t too late.”

It was James who raised his hand to us and brought us out. Now his legs collapsed with relief. Why was this troublemaker here? I narrowed my eyes as I stared at James with disgust. To me, James was still one of the bad wolves around Mido.

“Haha. W-Why are you looking at me like that...?”

“You don’t need to know,” I deliberately answered bluntly.

James was still laughing with that silly expression. Still, it couldn’t be denied that we were helped by him.

“Why did you appear here?”

“Ah, that~” James lifted a finger and started to explain how he got here. Shortly after this, the explanation ended and I learned why James was here. It was a story I had heard before. It was what Damian had said before that battle with Belphegor. James was trapped by the tundra dragon and had all his Star Fruits taken away.

I immediately stood up. “Groan.”

“Um? Where do you want to go now?”

I heard Park Maksun calling out to me from behind, but I tried to ignore it as I headed for the collapsed ice castle. The black bead that had tried to suck us in only stopped when the ice castle collapsed. I was removing the debris and rummaging through the ice castle with a hopeful heart.

Around 10 minutes passed...

“...Ah.”

I was finally able to find what I was looking for. I was worried it wouldn’t be here, but fortunately, it still remained. I pulled out a Star Fruit from a broken jewel box. The bright colors were so beautiful.

“Good.”

It happened at this time.

“Grandfather~?”

“......!”

I flinched and looked back over my shoulder. Behind me, James was approaching while avoiding the frozen debris of the ice castle. I quickly hid the Star Fruit in front of me in my inventory. It wasn’t until I put the last Star Fruit in my inventory that James reached my side.

“What are you doing here?”

“What do you think I’m doing? I was searching for usable items. It is the ice castle of the tundra dragon. There must be something. Additionally, why am I your grandfather?!”

“Ah, Grandfather is right. It makes sense. Ah, that’s right! My Star Fruits!”

James was reminded of them and started to search through the ice castle. However, it was in vain. It was because I already took his Star Fruits.

“Ah, where did they go?”

I secretly took them from behind his back. I forced myself to hold back my laughter. Then Park Maksun teleported to my side. “Why are you making him do this? Orabeoni clearly took all the Star Fruits... Oof oof!”

“Shh.” I hurriedly blocked Park Maksun’s mouth.

“How did you know?”

“Are you looking down on a great magician?”

Ah, that’s right. Indeed.

It was a moment when we met an enemy that was too strong so I forgot she was one of the great magicians leading the magic city of Oz. It would be nothing for her to observe me from such a distance. I told her why I disliked James. Park Maksun heard the whole story and nodded to show her understanding.

“Ah~ do you mean that Orabeoni’s treasured granddaughter was once with this guy?”

Park Maksun raised her little finger and nodded slowly.

“Oh my god, is there such an unpardonable guy in the world? He is a terrible guy. Sigh.”

At the same time, Park Maksun drew a triangle in the air. The magic circle that appeared from her fingers quickly scattered and disappeared somewhere. I looked at her and cocked my head.

“...It is magic that makes one feel subtly tired. Maybe soon, his eyes will sink and his legs will slow down. Nobody has noticed so far. Kukukuk.” Park Maksun laughed like a mischievous smile and I looked at her in a speechless manner.

“Why did you learn that magic?”

“Ah, it is useful. When I first started the game, there were some people who ignored me. I used it on them.”

“Um, well done.”

I nodded slightly.

Then James, who seemed exhausted, called out to us over the distance, “Grandfather, grandmother, have you seen any Star Fruits?”
