Chapter 42: Rulers of Inner Forbidden Forest
The next day Kai, Jai and Byro were standing on Duke's castle roof.
Lily and Alfred where only present as all others are busy with their works. Kai had already told others that they were going to forbidden forest to make all beasts of outer and inner regions submit to him, to finally solve the problem of beasts rampage.
Diana and others didn't care because they already know Jai and others identity, leaving only Lily who was unknown to their identity, so Lily was worried and come to see Kai off, while Alfred was here because he also wants to go with them and return to the town, as he is the town lord of Kai hometown and cannot leave his post for a long time.
Kai also want to take back Lily with him but he cannot do it, first they are going to the inner region of forbidden forest directly, so that Byro and Alfred will act as witness and will later report about it to central command, as for the second reason we don't have much space as Jai can only take three people with him, he will hold Byro and Alfred in his both hands while Kai will ride at his back, currently Jai can't take his beast form because of suppression from world laws, but as a saint level magic-user Jai don't need to use his magic power to fly as he can use magic law to replace his magic power and will reach inner region within one hour.
Kai is going to hold Jai from his back to form a magic barrier around them to protect them from dust and sand particles as they are going to fly at near speed of sound and even a dust and sand particle and harm Byro and Alfred at that speed as they have a weak body.
Lily who was standing before Kai hugged him and said: "Come back soon brother and on your returning path, go to father and tell him I decided to not return to Royal magic academy, he must have already got a notification from the academy by now and must be worried".
Kai nodded and Lily let go of him.
"Are you guys ready, we will be leaving now"
as Kai looks at Alfred and Byro.
Alfred nod but Byro hesitate as he doesn't know what to do, when he first time heard that we are going to fly till we reach Byro did not believe, as even Champion level magic-user, don't prefer to fly as it consumes a great amount of magic power not to mention at speed of sound.
Seeing Byro hesitate, Jai smiles as he goes and forcefully holds Byro in his hands and on the other hand he holds Alfred and signals Kai to hold him from his back.
Getting Jai signal, Kai holds Jai from his back as he folds his both hands around Jai's neck.
While Byro was still struggling to free himself from Jai hands.
"Don't worry I have 30000 years of experience in flying and never did anything went wrong"
As Jai started to float in the air and look at the direction of the forbidden forest and with a sonic boom started his flying.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
as sounds of sorrowful screening comes out of Byro's mouth.
[One and a half-hour later, In Forbidden Forest Inner Region]
Kai, Jai were standing before the three rulers of Inner Region of the forbidden forest who were
Knelt before them and have completely surrendered before them.
When Kai with others arrived at the inner region of the forbidden forest, they met many magic bests of rank three and four but without even fighting they surrendered and were led to their rulers gathering place by them.
There also was the same : these guys had fully submitted and surrendered themselves to them, to be more precise to Jai, as they were trembling in fear as they saw Jai.
Byro who were standing behind them are even more shocked and astonished in seeing these three rulers of forbidden forest willing fully surrendering themselves.
On another hand Alfred was not that shocked as he knows how powerful Jai is, as well as that he is one of the true rulers of Forbidden forest.
The three rules were at half a step in rank 6 stages.
A nightmare horse whose attribute is darkness with green eyes and white mist which is surrounded by his body, this mist had a corrosive effect.
The second was a little special, she was not a beast but a magic plant, a night-blooming cereus, she had evolved to her current form through a period of thousands of years she currently looks like a small human girl with white skin and red eyes dressed in a green dress, her attitude is light.
Last was a one horn sabertooth, which is a strong and aggressive body which makes him look strongest among them, was, in reality, the weakest among the three and was the first one to surrender, his attribute is the lighting.
"Do you three want to become my subordinate and serve under me?" said Jai as he looks at three rulers.
"Yes, we want to, my lord, it will be our pleasure to serve you," said the three together.
"Why didn't you resist? Don't you have any pride as a ruler?" asks Jai as he looks at the three rulers.
Lowering their heads they reply"Against absolute strength, pride is nothing, only strong
being have the right to stand supreme and decided what to do and not to do, we have ruled forbidden forest, where even powerful champion level magic users of outside world don't dare to step into until you came my lord with your friends from core region of forbidden forest" said Nightmare horse
"Oh! you saw us coming out of the core region of the forbidden forest" said Jai with a serious expression.
Seeing Jai's expression, he became afraid and with a trembling voice says" yes... we... wee...saw you with 5 others stepping out of core region because I went to check, the origin of terrifying source of power and saw you fighting my subordinates as I hide in fear of getting discovered, the aura of the rulers you guys released that day I still remembered that why when I felt your aura again, I told my subordinate to lead you to our gathering place".
Hearing that Jai smile as he looks at them and then he looks at Kai and asked
"What should I do brother, will you accept their surrender and let them become our subordinate"
Kai nod to Jai and said
"Accept them, we need someone to look after this place and make sure that no beast goes out of the forbidden forest and attack nearby places, we cannot always be here to command them.
Hearing Jai and Kai's conversation, the three felt astonished, because the person they are so afraid of was talking to a mere grandmaster level human and also called him brother.
Seeing the expression on three rulers, Jai smiles
"I will accept you guys, in my absence take care of this place and don't allow anybody to step outside and create trouble if they don't listen kill them without hesitation, I will not accept any exception, you must follow my command with full devotion"
Hearing Jai they nod.
"Also, let me introduce you to my master, brother and my best friend" as Jai points at Kai.
"He is same as me from now on your master, his command is even above me and whenever you see him you must show respect"
Hearing that three rulers nod, though they don't know why their lord follows this normal human being, they still nod.
Seeing expression and confusion in three rulers' eyes, Kai releases his aura and focuses it on the body of three rulers.
Suddenly three rulers felt a terrifying pressure
pressing down on their body, like heavens have collapsed over them and all that pressure was coming from a weak human of grandmaster level.
Kai doesn't seem like a weak human in their eyes anymore but more like an ancient Demon Emperor in the skin of a human.
After sometime Kai takes back his aura and smiles at them.
And leaves with Jai and others, as the three rulers look at Kai back and disappear before their eyes.
Currently, they only have respect for Kai in their eyes, in the world of beasts, strength is supreme, while weak are crushed, today they widen their horizon as they got to meet two monsters living in human skin.
