The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Ipsilon had been lurking in the distance since the banquet began, but in order to avoid being detected by the keen-sensed eighth-tier peak mage Edmund Celestio, he was unable to take immediate action when the anomaly occurred.

Just as Edmund Celestio's attention was completely focused on Ravend Black, Ipsilon moved closer enough to barely get a chance to intervene.

At first, Ipsilon thought it was a common rebellion, a power struggle within the Kingdom of Westphalia.

After all, it was the War of the Eight Princes, so even if some general, Ravend Black, declared himself king and it became the War of the Nine Princes, Ipsilon wasn't too surprised.

She had no goodwill toward King Edmund Celestio, the current ruler of the Kingdom of Westphalia. Rather, she loathed the king who had brought the country to such a state of chaos. Not helping Ravend Black stab Edmund Celestio in the back was already an act of kindness in repaying evil.

If it weren't for Edmund Celestio's tyrannical rule, which led to the War of the Eight Princes, my father wouldn't have died on the battlefield, and my mother wouldn't have been captured by cultists while trying to escape with me...

I was fortunate enough to receive help from Lord Shadow, but my mother wasn't so lucky.

Ten years later, Ipsyron only recently figured out the cult faction that arrested the mother and daughter.

The cultists of the Desire for Knowledge and Truth faction within the Demonic Order are notorious madmen throughout the entire Demonic Order.

The reason why the cult members killed the mother but spared her has been found out.

Her mother was just an ordinary person, but the cultists of the Desire and Truth faction coveted her magical talent and wanted to sacrifice her to the demon Thurt of Desire and Truth.

I almost got sacrificed myself.

During the pilgrimage to the Holy Light, when the cultists of the Desire for Knowledge and Truth were causing trouble, Ipsilon had not yet investigated these matters.

It was only after the Demon of Knowledge and Truth, Turtle, was killed by Lord Shadow and the entire faction of Knowledge and Truth was dealt with that he discovered from the remaining cultist artifacts that the faction of Knowledge and Truth had been carrying out a plan to "sacrifice high-talented children to the King of Truth." From this, he deduced the real reason why he was not killed immediately.

By the time he learned all this, the Devil Order's faction of Knowledge and Truth had already been destroyed, meaning that Ipsilon himself had avenged his mother.

Ipsyron thought her revenge was over and her mission as an undercover agent at the Astrea Magic Academy in the Kingdom of Olmec was also finished. She decided to end the chaos of the War of the Eight Princes in the Kingdom of Westphalia for her homeland.

Then he considered the possibility that cultists from the Demon Order might have been behind the War of the Eight Princes in the Kingdom of Westphalia.

This has now been proven true.

Grand General Ravend Black himself admitted that he was the Archbishop of the War and Conflict faction of the Demon Order, and that the War of the Eight Kings in the Kingdom of Westphalia was the result of the War and Conflict faction of the Demon Order instigating the conflict.

Ipsyron immediately realized that his revenge was not over yet.

The cultists of the Desire for Knowledge and Truth killed her mother, but the mastermind behind driving them to such a point is still thriving in the Kingdom of Westphalia!

Ipsilon barely managed to suppress his anger and refrain from acting impulsively, not rushing out to assist Edmund Celestio in his two-on-two battle against the two eighth-tier professionals from the Demon Order.

As it turned out, it was fortunate that she calmed down.

When two more eighth-tier professionals appeared, Ipsilon realized that Edmund Celestio was beyond saving. At the same time, he was glad that he hadn't acted rashly, otherwise he would have ended up like Edmund Celestio, facing four against two, and might not even have been able to escape.

As a precaution, while the four eighth-tier professionals of the Demon Order were gathered together, Ipsyron was already secretly preparing for spatial warp.

It is one-way, disposable, and can be shut off immediately after use to prevent other space-type professionals from tracking the landing point.

Unfortunately, the final sneak attack was stopped by Archbishop Ravend Black, otherwise Ipsilon would have not only obtained important intelligence that day, but also accomplished a great feat by eliminating an eighth-tier professional.

After failing to land a hit, he immediately initiated a spatial teleport. Because it was prepared in advance, the spatial teleport was completed almost instantly, which is why Revend Black didn't even see a shadow of Ipsilon.

The landing point of the spatial warp was actually outside the capital city of Holy Radiance. As soon as the warp was completed, Ipsilon immediately headed towards Moonshadow Territory to meet up with Beta and Delta.

Judging by the time, shouldn't Lord Shadow be arriving soon?

Such important information must be communicated to all the waiters as quickly as possible!

(Just short of word count, here's a short side story; characters can be found in chapters 255 and 307)

"Grandma Fang, it's already dark. If we don't go home soon, Dad will scold us."

Sasha Kingsol looked at Grandma Fang with a reluctant expression.

Grandma Fang smiled kindly: "It's alright, Sasha, go home first, and come to Grandma's house to play again tomorrow. Grandma will always be here."

"Really?" The little girl's face was full of innocence, but then she suddenly remembered something, and her cute little face immediately tightened: "But Grandpa said he had something to do, and he hasn't come back yet. When I asked Mom, Dad, and Grandpa where they went, they wouldn't answer me..."

Grandma Fang looked at the little girl in front of her, who bore a striking resemblance to the boy in her memory, and couldn't help but smile.

More than fifty years have passed, and the girl has become an old woman. She has never married and has been searching for the boy in her memory, her A Luo, just to apologize to him.

In the vast Olmec kingdom, for a defenseless girl like her to find a missing boy was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Forget about finding him, she can't even make a living.

After more than fifty years of searching, looking back now, she doesn't know how she survived, how she lived for so long, and how she is still healthy. She estimates that she may live another ten years.

Perhaps moved by her will, Heaven kindly granted her a longer life, helping her find Alo and finally utter that apology that was more than fifty years overdue.

But more than this lifespan, she hoped that God would grant her a chance, a chance to see A-Luo.

After more than fifty years of searching, she only found Sasha Kingsol, a little girl who bore a resemblance to the boy in her memory.

Is she his descendant?

Kingsol is not Alo's surname, but Sasha says that the word "Lo" in her grandfather Rockston gives her hope.

If she had the chance to see Rockston Kingsol, she would definitely recognize him as her Alo.

"Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely come back."

Grandma Fang patted Sasha's little head and answered with certainty.

I'm sure Sasha's grandfather will come back.

I'm sure I can find Alo too!
