System's POV

The Rigel Continent wasn't a small continent, and it was even bigger than the Aldebaran Continent.

This was also the reason why many efforts had been made to reclaim it.

So, almost everyone around the world was watching it, including a young lady with long blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was lying in bed, surrounded by servants who made sure that she had everything she needed while watching the television.

"Human Technology is such a wonderful thing," one of the young lady's servants said. "Even though the Rigel Continent is so far away, we can watch things happen live."

"Indeed." Another servant nodded. "Especially that boy, Zion Leventis. He's so young, and his ability supersedes everyone. Maybe we should eliminate him while we still can?"

However, before someone could answer their question, a chilling voice reached their ears, making their body subconsciously shudder.

"Did I give the two of you permission to talk in my presence?"

The two servants hurriedly kneeled and begged for mercy.

"Mistress, forgive us. We overreached our stations."

"Have mercy. We beg you."

The young lady, who seemed to be around Zion's age, clicked her tongue and ordered the two servants to stand up and remain silent.

A moment later, a knock on the door sounded, making the young lady's face scrunch up.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Lady Siri."

"Come in, Roxy."

A beautiful lady with long blue hair entered the room and glanced at the 150-inch flat screen TV that had been recently installed inside their residence.

"Did the Alliance lose?" Roxy asked since the only thing she could see right now was a commercial.

"No," the young lady named Siri replied. "They have just defeated the Broodmother, and the rest of the Jinn Army led by the Wolf King are retreating."

"What?" Roxy looked at her Mistress in confusion. "They won? The alliance won?"

"Yes," Siri replied with a smile. "I won our bet, Roxy. You are going to make me that pudding I ate last night. No going back on your word, okay?"

Roxy thought that Siri was only pranking her. When the commercial was finally finished, the reporters once again started discussing the aftermath of the battle.

Smoke was rising on the battlefield, but countless charred monster corpses could still be seen in the surroundings.

The cheering of the soldiers echoed in the background, which forced Roxy to admit that she had indeed lost her bet with her Mistress.

"But how?" Roxy asked. "How did they do it? We thought that the humans will need at least twenty more years to reach the Rank that they require to defeat the Jinns of the Rigel Continent."

"They have a capable Commander," Siri replied. "He made it possible."

The frown on Roxy's face deepened as the face of the Supreme Commander of the Alliance appeared on the screen.

"Sir, you have achieved something that many thought impossible," the beautiful reporter, Rein, said with a smile. "Can you share with us your thoughts and what you think is the reason why the Allied Armies won this battle?"

"They're just Rank 8 Sovereigns," Zion Leventis replied. "It's not a big deal."

"Wow! Did you hear that guys?" Rein's bright eyes looked straight at the camera. "The Supreme Commander said that Rank 8 Sovereigns are not a big deal!"

"Well, he's not wrong," Siri commented with a smile. "Isn't that right, Roxy?"

Roxy was still frowning, but in the end, she smoothed out her expression and nodded her head.

"Yes, Rank 8 Sovereigns are not a big deal," Roxy answered. "It seems that the pace of the advancement of the Wanderers had sped up a bit. I should report this to your Mother, My Lady."

Siri casually waved her hand as if shooing the blue-haired beauty out of her room.

"Don't forget my pudding!" Siri shouted just before Roxy was about to leave the door to ensure that she wouldn't have any excuses later.

Siri's gaze locked on the teenage boy with wavy black hair and green eyes, who was oozing with confidence.

"I wonder what he will taste like?" Siri muttered as she narrowed her eyes. "Well, it's just the first victory. I'm sure that the Jinns of the Rigel Continent are not stupid. They will definitely mount a powerful counterattack and exterminate those Wanderers."

Siri yawned before closing her eyes to sleep.

It was already two in the morning, and she had been watching the live broadcast since lunchtime.

Although she found Thirteen's commanding abilities very impressive, she believed that the second battle wouldn't be as easy.

But after a few weeks, the young lady and her steward had agape mouths as they looked at the TV. If their eyes weren't tricking them, it seemed that the Centipede King's head had just been cut off from its body.

They then watched as the Death Lord casually turned his former comrade into an Undead and mounted its back.

They also didn't expect that Erasmus' Undead Legion would attack their allies, not letting any of them escape alive.

"H-He betrayed the Jinns?" Roxy stuttered.

"Technically, he was betrayed first when Jalrog attacked him without warning," Siri, who was just as shocked as her steward, regained her composure faster and answered Roxy's question.

"Still, I can't believe that he sided with the humans," Roxy stated. "I thought the Jinns and Majins of the Rigel Continent were a united army. It seems that their long-time stay in the Rigel Continent had weakened their resolve."

Siri pondered a bit before offering her opinion.

"Maybe he and the Alliance have reached a compromise?" Siri asked. "I mean, it's not unheard of for Jinns and Majins to form a mutual-benefit relationship with humans."

"You're not wrong, Mistress," Roxy stated. "I just didn't expect that this would happen in the Rigel Continent."

While the two were guessing the real reason why Erasmus decided to join with the humans, the Death Lord's voice reverberated from the surround speakers inside Siri's room.

—————————

"Zion Leventis, you have kept your word," Erasmus said through telepathy, which was heard by the entirety of the Alliance. "And I will keep mine. Come with me, and I'll take you to where the Earth Dragons are. Whether you are able to convince them or not, will depend on your luck."

—————————

"It's really happening," Roxy's expression became solemn. "Will those Earth Dragons really compromise, or is this just a trap they have set to capture Zion Leventis?"

"He better not do anything funny." Siri glared at the Death Lord on the screen. "I already marked him as my prey!"

"Calm down, My Lady. This is just speculation on our part. Maybe they will really reach an agreement with the humans."

"Tsk!"

Siri locked her gaze on the young man who was standing on the Humvee with a calm expression on his face.

Maybe it was because they were of the same age that she felt some sense of rivalry against the teenage boy who had led the Wanderers to two consecutive victories.

Also, if his talks with the Earth Dragons really bore fruit, then for the first time since the Jinn invaded Pangea, the Humans would've officially had managed to secure a victory that no one expected to happen.

"Roxy, tell mother that I have made a decision," Siri declared.

"Young Lady, do you mean…" Roxy looked at her spoiled Miss in disbelief.

"Yes, I am going to Solterra after the War of the Rigel Continent has concluded," Siri stated. "I want you to prepare for my departure. Make sure that everything is ready, do you understand?"

"Y-Yes, My Lady," Roxy stuttered. "I'll inform your Mother at once."

"Good." Siri smiled sweetly. "I'll show him that what he can do, I can do better."

The servants inside the room shuddered uncontrollably as their Mistress' gaze landed on their bodies.

Those weren't the eyes of a teenage girl.

Those were the eyes of a predator who had already found her next prey.
