At night, I together with Mendicore and Sherubiel gathered on the balcony seating area of my apartment. I had already tried several luxurious facilities that existed and it still felt strange inside me who only came from an ordinary person.
"Do you prefer being here? In my opinion your feelings would just be ordinary because perhaps in High Heaven the place is better..."
"Hahahaaa... Johann really can say such things! I'm not the type of entity who likes comparing things. So even if we didn't get a place like this and stayed in that simpler house again, I would not comment too much about it..." Said Sherubiel.
"I'm rather jealous of Sir David because he once went to High Heaven..."
"It's more than enough, Johann... the most important thing according to me is that we all stay close wherever we are." Added Mendicore.
I only smiled hearing that. The two of them were entities who were quite innocent with whatever condition compared to humans.
"I actually don't know what my role is anymore after this. Besides according to Mendicore, how can The Graendall and High Heaven counterattack into the realm of terror if the ancient portal has already disappeared?"
"Yes, that's also my question. Besides that too, Azkerath, the devil who often carried out terror into other dimensions, has already died. From the analysis I got previously, the only one who can open gates between the terror realm and other realms at this moment is Ruciphar himself. However I doubt that he himself will lead an invasion to other worlds."
"So according to you Ruciphar's actual power is his own creations? And he himself doesn't possess fighting capacity like Azkerath?"
"I can say it like that, Johann... That is why he never directly faced the late Lord Marsiel at all. He deployed his greatest capability through Azkerath."
"Are you truly sure the strongest entity belonging to Ruciphar is only Azkerath, Mendicore?" I asked with a serious face.
"Honestly I have never directly seen another strongest creation belonging to Ruciphar besides him. However once when I was still analyzing directly into the realm of terror, I once saw above the cloud plains there was a silhouette figure of a gigantic creature shaped similar to a snake floating in the sky. At first I was shocked if that creature was the strongest version of Arch-Licoth because the silhouette of its body was covered in bright light like blazing fire. However after I observed more detail, It possessed 2 pairs of legs..."
I immediately understood that the entity It described was Turgash. He indeed possessed a typical oriental dragon form. I didn't expect that one of the strongest creatures in that game truly existed and the potential major threat most likely still existed.
"I'm only afraid if Ruciphar truly wants to retaliate against our planet using that creature, Mendicore..."
"Yes... initially I worried about that too. However I also never saw that entity directly fighting even against Lord Marsiel. That is why I'm skeptical that creature will be sent again to retaliate here."
I only nodded. In my opinion Turgash himself in the game wasn't an aggressive creature like Azkerath. I had quite difficulty searching and fighting him through Hellraider therefore I only did that three times even as a fanatic player.
"Perhaps Johann thinks that creature can also be defeated by The Great Lord David..." Said Sherubiel while chuckling.
I glanced at her and only exhaled a heavy breath while shaking my head and smiling.
"Oh yes, I forgot something, Commander Gruzhnil conveyed to us that tomorrow evening until night there will be a people's party to celebrate this victory. He also asked to convey this to you." Said Sherubiel.
"Whoooaaa really...?!?! We must attend together later!" I said with a beaming smile.
I thought whether I should invite David to join us too. However it seemed he would come by himself and again he would only watch from the upper seating area. I continued chatting with them until almost late at night.
The next day, after enjoying the morning with all the facilities available, I planned to visit David's house. I called Sherubiel's room.
"Hello... This is Johann. I'm going to Sir David's house. Do you want to come too?
"Oh Johann... Perhaps we will follow later okay! You may go first!" Said someone sounding like Sherubiel.
"Alright I'm leaving!" I said and ended the call.
I walked to David's house. The atmosphere of the capital was quite lively this morning with its bright sunshine. When almost arriving, I saw a scene quite catching my attention. Outside the garden, there were quite many people standing while bowing their bodies and both their hands in a praying position toward David's house.
Suddenly my feeling became strange seeing those people's behavior, as if they prayed and worshipped David. I knew he was the strongest almost beyond anything, but I thought he should not be worshipped that excessively. I passed those people and headed toward the main door guarded by elite soldiers holding their spears.
"Sir Johann wishes to visit The Great Lord David? Please enter..." Said one of the guards.
I nodded and immediately entered. Inside, I saw David was not on his throne chair. There were priests surrounding the front part of the throne chair while both knees kneeling and their positions were the same as people praying. Suddenly my heart felt uncomfortable because it kept processing for what purpose they did that in front of the empty throne.
Suddenly there was a beam of light appearing from the right side of my sight. I directed my eyes and apparently David was doing something in his equipment room. I immediately walked there. Upon arriving it was seen he was maintaining his old weapons displayed on various tables like Obliviator, shotgun, machine gun, rocket launcher, magnum pistol and even MKM-999. Only the Spear of Grunginus was not visible here. I thought it would not fit being displayed here at all.
David then looked at me briefly and I gave him a smile while standing beside him seeing him cleaning one of his weapons.
"Do you like your new place, sir?"
David only nodded once and continued his work.
"Sir David, I saw people outside doing the same thing as what those priests are doing. Do you feel somewhat uncomfortable with that?" I asked with a rather soft voice.
David then glanced toward me again.
"Let them be..."
Hearing that answer, my heart felt slightly relieved. Perhaps David didn't think too much about it and let them be as long as they didn't disturb his activities which for me were like normal people in general.
I accompanied David finishing the maintenance of his weapons and he walked back toward that throne chair. Perhaps he didn't put them into his own "special place" first.
One priest immediately brought a chair and placed it beside David's throne. I then sat there. He only sat silently observing ahead where the priests were still in a praying position. Honestly if I became him I would feel very bored.
Then I remembered the people's celebration party held later in the afternoon. Actually even without me informing him, someone would invite David again to attend like Gruzhnil.
"Sir David, do you want to attend the people's celebration party this afternoon?"
He immediately turned his head toward me.
"Yes..."
I immediately smiled when he accepted the invitation.
"Honestly Sir David, I'm still confused how we can continue this journey again. I once heard that the military order together with High Heaven will search for a way to infiltrate the hell realm to capture Ruciphar. Will you contribute too?"
"I'll see later..."
I only smiled faintly again. I knew they would definitely involve David too, even though in the game storyline it was not like this.
Suddenly another priest approached us and immediately knelt and bowed.
"Great Lord David, lunch together with Sir Johann has already been prepared..."
David rose again from his throne chair and looked at me.
"Come..."
I immediately stood and followed him to the back room where in that resting room there was seen a round table with dishes already on top and two chairs.
While we ate, I looked again toward David. Suddenly the thought from when I first stayed here appeared. I wanted to express it, I thought this would be alright for him.
"Sir David, from the beginning of being here actually I wanted to live together with you. However when you received a place like this, likewise me who now lives very close from here, I think it seems we will not be able to be in one residence..."
David immediately looked back at my face again.
"My answer is still same as yesterday..."
I immediately smiled faintly while then glancing downward. I also felt David would not force that desire.
After lunch I excused myself to go home and promised I would return to visit again tomorrow. Unexpectedly David escorted me outside to the garden. The main entrance guards and people who saw David immediately knelt again. I gave a hand waving gesture to him and walked toward the apartment.
When I arrived at that building and glanced toward David's house, unexpectedly he was still standing looking at me. David then immediately walked back inside his "temple" house again.
I could only let out a sigh while smiling faintly again after seeing his behavior like that.
