What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

Why does Harwick also have a separate carriage?

Wait... could it be... bait?

Seeing the carriages depart and run in different directions, Ron immediately guessed that Harwick was likely chosen by Vito as bait to attract the attention of the demons.

He immediately grabbed Vito's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Professor Vito, what's going on with Harwick? Why isn't he with us?"

"...He has superior qualifications and needs protection, so he set off ahead of schedule."

Vito explained in a deep voice.

Leaving early? A few seconds early? That's definitely a lot of early.

Ron knew that Vito didn't want to tell him the truth because there were other children present besides him, and Vito was worried that Ron's abilities would be exposed, so he kept quiet about Ron's situation.

But... now that the demons know of Ron's existence, and even came specifically for Ron, is there any point in hiding his abilities?

Ron gritted his teeth and placed his hands on his waist.

The magical beast purifier, which only I can see, is right there. If only...

"Are the demons who came this time very powerful?" Ron, touching the Beast Purifier, looked up at Vito: "Even the Viscount had to abandon the manor and flee. Are the demons this time very powerful?"

"I don't know yet. We haven't seen the true form of the demons, but what's certain is that the demons that came... are definitely at the King level!"

Vito said with certainty.

Ron's breath hitched, and he gripped the air purifier tighter.

King level...

That's equivalent to a legendary mythical beast.

Could I, with only the power of the Night Wolf King, defeat him?

……

"Father, should we run away alone?"

In another carriage, Denise watched several carriages speed away from the other side, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Gus:

"They are my friends... my future subordinates, are I really going to abandon them?"

Denise looked reluctant, seemingly very dissatisfied with Gus's decision.

Gus turned around upon hearing this.

He looked at his innocent-looking daughter, Denise, who seemed unaware of what was about to happen, and suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He then hugged Denise tightly.

"...Father?" Denise asked, puzzled by Gus's intentions.

Gus, suppressing his grief, held Denise tightly in his arms, trying to keep his voice steady:

"Don't worry about them, they'll be fine..."

"Really? That's great! I even made plans with them to attend classes together when we go to the capital!"

"Denise said happily."

Although she always said those people were her future subordinates, in reality... she had long regarded these classmates as her friends.

Being able to go to school with her friends is the happiest thing for her.

Denise's words were innocent and pure; Gus, as her father, had truly protected her very well.

If Denise grows up smoothly, she may be spoiled and willful in the future, but she will never do bad things because of her spoiled and willful nature.

With further training from Gus, he might grow into a capable nobleman and become the head of the Monkford family.

Later on, perhaps he will find a son-in-law to inherit the Monkford family name and pass it down, eventually passing away peacefully in his bed surrounded by his descendants.

Gus could already imagine that future, the future that should have belonged to Denise.

but now……

"I'm sorry... Denise... I'm sorry..."

Gus hugged Denise tightly and apologized in a trembling voice in her ear.

Denise was stunned. She had seen her father pretend to cry to cheat in games, and she had seen her father cry with emotion because of his own growth, but she had never seen her father cry like this before.

It's like... it's like we're about to lose something.

Denise didn't understand; she just felt terrible seeing her father cry like that.

But Denise didn't cry. Instead, she reached out and stroked her father's hair, comforting him:

"Although I don't know what happened, Father, you don't need to apologize to me. Even if Father did something wrong, Denise will forgive you! So don't cry, don't cry..."

Denise spoke gently, but the gentler she was, the harder Gus cried.

He hugged his daughter tightly, his voice trembling:

"...I'm sorry, I...am not a good father."

Denise didn't understand why Gus was saying that. She tilted her head, about to continue comforting Gus.

However, at that very moment...

Crash!

The sound of the barrier shattering was particularly jarring under the torrential rain.

Upon hearing this voice, Gus didn't hesitate and immediately activated his magic, using his professional skills to completely protect himself and Denise.

At the very moment that Gus did this, a tremendous roar resounded outside the carriage.

boom!!

The carriage suddenly flew out, its body shattering in mid-air. The powerful impact sent Gus and Denise flying together until they landed on the muddy ground.

Gus held Denise and rolled around on the ground for a long time.

After stopping rolling and getting up, the first thing Gus did was not to look at the enemy, but to look directly at Denise in his arms.

Denise now has her eyes closed and is breathing faintly.

"No...no no no, Denise...Denise! No...!"

Gus hugged Denise tightly, tears mingling with the rain, frantically calling out Denise's name.

But when he touched the side of Denise's neck, Gus suddenly quieted down and let out a long breath:

"Still alive...that's great, still alive..."

But before Gus could even catch his breath after surviving the ordeal, a voice came from the wrecked part of the carriage beside him:

"Oh, is that the one in your arms?"

The voice sounded like it came from a young girl. Gus looked in the direction of the sound, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he even stopped breathing for a moment.

Standing where the carriage had shattered was a demon girl with two horns on her head and her whole body was purple.

She was dressed very simply, with loose strips of cloth wrapped around her vital parts, but no other parts of her body were covered at all.

Even without looking at their clothing, you can tell just by the color of their skin and the two horns on their heads.

This person is a demon.

Gus even knew this demon.

He couldn't possibly not recognize him. As a nobleman of the human race who had fought against the demon race for thousands of years, he had seen this person's appearance in his textbooks!

Yes, this is no ordinary demon. This is a powerful demon with a name, feared, dreaded, and hated by humans!

Seven Demon Generals – Philar!

He is one of the seven most powerful demons among the King-level demons!

Thinking of this, Gus couldn't help but hug Denise tightly, his body trembling.

Even the Seven Demon Generals have come here, which proves... they really did come for Ron!

Are Saint-level aptitudes so terrifying that they actually sent one of the Seven Demon Generals to intercept and kill him...?

It seems that neither I nor Denise are going to survive today.

As Gus thought to himself, he took a deep breath, already prepared to fight the Seven Demon Generals to the death.

However, the other person's next words left Gus stunned.

"Is the future hero the guy in your arms?" Philar said, moving closer to Gus.

Gus looked completely bewildered.

Brave...brave?

What kind of hero?

.........

Let's rewind a little bit.

As Ron and the others left in their carriages, Selena, who had run out with the servants, was searching for Ron.

"Ron! Ron!!"

Because it all happened so suddenly, no one informed Selena where the children had gone, so Selena still didn't know where Ron was.
