Chapter 2

-Port of Ampool: Domain of Demon Lord Leon- Human Continent-

Ampool is a town at the northern most part of the Human Continent, the continent directly Southeast of the Demon Continent.

Being in the territory of Demon Lord Leon he had full access of the port and his vessel was always on standby when needed.

“When are we going to set sail captain? I have to get to the capital soon or the Demon King will have my head.”

The Demon King summoned all the Demon Lords to the capital, he said he has prepared a reward, somthing very enjoyable for all the Lords, including Leon.

“Oh, my lord, we’re going to set sail soon, although you might get there a little late. I’m sorry.”

The captain bowed his head in shame.

“Pick up your head captain, it’s alright. It’s probably better to get there late any way. It’s a good thing actually.. That means I don’t have to be around all those fatass lords for very long.”

Leon couldn’t say that with a straight face, he knew getting ship wrecked was probably a better option than spending a couple hours with the other lords.

“Haha, your probably right my lord.”

The captain now with a smile on his face, then left, to give directions to the crew.

“We’re setting sail my lord, we’ll have to continue this conversation later, I have some things to attend to.”

As Leon, now alone at the bow, looking out at the brilliant blue sea , he knew across it was waiting the king, the other lords and also his reward.

‘I wonder what it might be? Why would the king do this?’

There was nothing that commendable about the other lords, they usually got into skuffles with each other.

Leon was really the only demon lord who actually tried to have peace with other races, his actions were the only ones that made a difference.

‘I guess the king is rewarding us for just doing our jobs and not going against his rule. He does do this a few months before the competition begins. It’s a smart idea.’

When Leon got the message to come to the capital, he was concerned. The only other time he was called to the capital by the king personally was when he was getting sworn in as a new demon lord.

So receiving a message out of the blue, he knew it was probably for somthing important. Then when he saw that all the lords were called and for a reward no less, then his concerns on the matter faded.

The king did this once before, a couple years ago, but Leon couldn’t attend. He wasn’t even a demon lord yet. So Leon didn’t know what to expect at all, on his way to the capital.

He looked out at the port town slowly getting smaller and turned toward the horizon.

‘Let’s hope this gift is worth the time of me going over there, I wouldn’t want to go so far just to get somthing I already have..’
