Silva leaned against a rock to catch his breath. What he had just gone through was the first serious battle he had in a while; that angel was on another level.
“Stats,” Silva called out.

Silva dusted himself off and got up. This fight today had shown him that while he packed strength, there were more and more strong beings lurking around.
If this was just the minion, then how would the master be?
He pushed those thoughts aside for the moment and decided to head back to the city.
—
A distance away from Blacklight, on a mountain path, a portal appeared. From the portal, a blue-haired boy, a cat lady in a maid outfit, and a golden-haired elf in pure white and gold armor walked out.
“You seriously followed us. Your father will not be happy with that at all,” the blue-haired boy said.
“You don’t have to worry about it. I informed him that it’s training for being a demon lord. He has been my encouragement, so he couldn’t stop me,” she said.
“At least hide your ears. We don’t want anyone finding out. And you, Rei, make sure you use the ring I gave you; it will help you conceal yourself.” He spoke to the maid, and she simply nodded in response.
“Why didn’t Laura come with us? She was the one who sensed the new demon king candidate. She should be here,” the elf said.
“Laura was called by the demon kings. They had something to discuss with her,” the boy said.
They changed their appearance to look normal and headed for the city.
When they arrived at the gate, they identified themselves as travelers and got temporary passes to enter. As soon as they entered, they began their search.
There was a special energy that a demon king candidate gave off, and that was what they were looking for.
After a while of no success, they entered a tavern. As they were entering, they brushed shoulders with a guy who was leaving with another guy.
They didn’t notice anything until they sat down, and then it hit them. They felt the energy they were looking for on the person who brushed past them.
They all got up immediately and left, leaving the waitress stunned as she was bringing a tray of water.
The three of them came outside and started looking around for the person they had touched, but they couldn’t find him.
“I can’t believe we got close and then lost him,” the blue-haired boy said.
“We should look more; at least we know that he is here,” the elf said.
On the roof of the tavern, Silva was seated with a piece of barbecued meat on a stick, watching the three as he sat up there.
He had just arrived back in the city and met with Quin to have some food at a tavern, but then Lily contacted him and told him that someone had entered the city and they were powerful non-humans.
Normally, people entering the city was not important, but because she was heavily attuned to magic, she noticed when a portal was opened even at that distance, and she checked it out.
The only reason she didn’t know that Silva was fighting the angel was because the angel had more advanced ways to disrupt and hide things.
When she told Silva of their presence, he decided he would find them later. But he never expected that as he finished eating, they would walk into the same place.
So he bid Quin farewell, bought a steak, and went to the roof to watch. What could they possibly want in this town?
He followed them from the roofs until they decided to split up, and then he made two clones and had them follow the maid and the elf, while he followed the boy.
He kept following as they searched different places and entered different places, but it seemed that whatever they wanted, they couldn’t find it.
Silva got tired of waiting and watching, so when they finally converged at night to end the day, he came down from the roofs and started walking toward them, making his presence known.
When the three noticed his presence, they all turned in his direction as he came out of the shadows into the crystal lights.
“Hello!” he greeted with a smile.
The blue-haired boy looked at Silva keenly, and then he felt the energy, the energy of a demon king candidate.
“You, it’s you. You are the one,” the blue-haired boy said.
“What do you mean, bro? I’m not anyone,” Silva said.
“You’re not human, right? You are a demon king candidate,” the boy said.
As soon as he said that, Silva silently alerted Lily and Elsa to be ready to teleport the whole squad here.
“No wonder you guys are here. A spirit, an elf, and a beast woman,” Silva said. It shocked them that he knew what they were, as it was supposed to be hidden from everyone.
“I don’t know how you knew our real races, but let’s skip that. I am called Aqua, a water spirit and a demon king candidate. The maid beside me is Rei.
The elf is called—”
“I’m Amber Greenwood, daughter of the king of the golden elf tribe, the ruler of all elves and a demon king candidate,” she introduced herself enthusiastically. Aqua was shocked because this was the first time he saw her do something like that.
“I see, so you are demon king candidates. Well, my name is Silva Terron, and as of now, I’ll have to take you to my hold to talk.” Silva said, and then multiple portals opened with the Guardians walking out, all armed.
Another portal opened behind Silva, and he pointed at the portal.
“Please, this way. Let’s not have conflict.”
