‘Tch! So she’s been watching this whole time.’

Noradriana backed away from me and stared at me in fear.

“Material Creation!”

I recreated her broken teeth. It was made to be sturdier than her previous ones and shone with a golden hue.

“Hey Noradriana, stop that we aren’t enemies. Just listen to me, ok?”

Although I had never particularly liked her, she had saved my life way back then, So I had to compensate her in some form.

The Elder green dragon bowed down to me in complete defeat, and the Elven elders beside her likewise prostrated themselves before me.

“You Elves have been defeated and as such need to follow my commands. I want you to move your people to these plains within the next six months! Noradriana, I order you to help the Elven race and as compensation to cover the cost of your march, I give you this! Material Creation!”

I created several tons of gold.

“Do not continue even think of backing out of this, anyone who betrays me will be dealt with swiftly.”

Turning my back to them I flew back to the Pit.

“Alpeon, how has the digging been going?”

‘It hasn’t been easy due to the presence of the Void Scuttles, but we are currently up to 900 meters deep.

“I see, keep up the good work.”

‘Lord, the Asmodians are arriving soon.’

“I’m aware, accommodate them in the dwellings we’ve constructed on the outskirts.

‘Yes lord.’

The Asmodians had come to join me, it meant that it was soon time to kill the Devil King, but I didn’t want to have to do everything myself.’

‘Well, maybe now that he won’t have the help of the Reincarnators he’ll stay hidden instead.’

“Oh right! Alpeon have them bring Talvin’s body to the lake.”

Shortly after I was able to use his body to resurrect Talvin, as a reward for his performance in his past life.

Six months later the Elves and Asmodians were sent back to their homelands in Elfenheim and Evelisla and my troubles had all been resolved in a peaceful manner.

“Oh, I almost forgot that there was a task to help out Gartmar. Alpeon, fetch me Ian.”

A short while later Ian appeared before me. Maybe it was because of the peaceful lifestyle, but she appeared somewhat fatter than she did in my memories.

“Did you call for me, my lord?”

“Just call me Johra.”

Ian felt quite nervous seeing me wear some unusual clothes.

“Let’s see, Lena, can you please contact Makina and have transfer over her former colleagues here?”

“On it!”

Shortly after Ian’s old party members appeared next to her.

“Gillian? Pirate? Melinda?”

“Oh where is this place?”

“I thought I was dead for sure.”

They all embraced themselves, ecstatic about their reunion.

“I know you’re all happy but I’d like for you all to pay attention please.”

“Where you the one who saved us?”

“That’s right Melinda, this is my Lord.”

Following Ian’s explanation they all looked up and stared at me intently.

“Well I didn’t exactly save you all for free. I have a favor to ask of you.”

For the next several months I had the training and levelling up against the Void Scuttles down in the tunnels beneath the Pit, until they had become much stronger.

“Good, now please heat to Gartmar and help out a certain party of women called Kishande, Ashe and Miranda.”

I gave them some pocket money and set them on this task as a manner of settling old debts.

“That should solve most things, right?”

The majority of the Elves had returned to their homeland, only a few staying behind to act as intermediaries as well as set up a trading post between us.

I would also occasionally need to send in some elite troops to cull the number of Scuttles near Elfenheim or to defend from the Trons in Evelisla.

Until finally one day.
