"What did you say? Demons are on the move!? How many are there?"
Walking through a corridor leading to the elevator of the Association building, Ryul, the elf king, talked loudly on his phone, causing Ashtel and Riku, who were standing beside him, to stop talking and focus on his call too.
"What did you say? Say it again? How many?"

"The entire demon army has started marching out of the demon continent! It's an all-out world war!!"
Hearing these words, Ryul felt like his legs had become a bit unsteady, and he almost tripped on his feet.
"Wha… Y-you've got to be kidding me right!? Come on man! This isn't the type of thing you should be joking about! We are talking about a world war against the entire world alliance here!…"
