From that moment the battle intensified. Apparently, Goston was the one who controlled the monsters and when he was captured, the beasts became wilder and uncontrollable. Zelfit asked Aldus, "Who wanted to open the door?", but Aldus' answer surprised Zelfit, "The moment he saw me arrive he took his own life without hesitating." It was not abnormal for this type of behavior to be seen among people who do jobs like these, but that only happened after strict indoctrination and that took time. For that reason, Zelfit and Aldus knew that they were not dealing with a simple enemy, since having the ability to train people willing to take their own lives before being captured was not something that someone without power could do, at least they did not believe that Goston was the mastermind behind this plan. This made them raise their guard more because they did not know what else their enemies could do. However, at the moment they couldn't do anything, just eliminate the monsters that attacked them, the investigations could come later, especially since Goston was now in the custody of the Demon of Hell who answers directly to the king. Zelfit concentrated on leading the guards in fighting the monsters and although there were many casualties, they were not that many compared to the large number of monsters attacking them. As Zelfit and Aldus directed the operations one of the guards reported, "Several flying monsters are heading to the red light district. What should we do?". Zelfit without hesitation replied, "Let them go, let's not worry about them." The soldier had a confused expression on his face. He thought that Zelfit wanted to borrow the monsters to harm the red light district because in the end many of the nobles complained about that area. What he did not know is that all this vociferation of the nobles against the red light district is only in appearance, since they are the main clients of that place, and Aldus, seeing the soldier's confusion, explained. "The red light district does not need to be protected, as many experts live there. They will take care of the monsters." Aldus did not explain this because he wanted to inform the soldier of the existence of these experts, rather he understood that the soldier was getting the wrong idea and losing focus on the current situation and that could lead to trouble. The soldier nodded in understanding, but he didn't really believe Aldus's words. He was convinced that they just gave him an excuse so they wouldn't get blamed when the red light district was attacked. Even so, he's a low-ranking soldier and he can't do anything, so he just did what he was ordered to do. Despite everything, he couldn't help but look towards the monsters heading towards the red-light district. With a look of regret, he saw the bloodthirsty monsters in the red light district and couldn't help but let out a listless sigh because as a soldier he would occasionally go there to relieve the stress of his work, so he didn't want to see the red light district destroyed. However, after accepting that they had left the red light district to suffer, he watched as several ice arrows shot out and shot down several of the monsters in the sky. The soldier couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw that scene and whispering he said, "The Aldus knight was not lying." The soldier still hadn't snapped out of his stupefaction when several attacks from different parties flew into the sky and struck down all the monsters threatening the red-light district. Rays of light, windbreaks, and even some fireballs could be seen. These attacks are nothing special to magicians of this world, but having the ability to launch elemental magic attacks at such power that they wiped out monsters, proved that casters were magical powerhouses. The soldier swallowed hard and decided not to contradict Zelfit and Aldus again. While in the red light district, Oliver was outside the Heavenly Palace on guard duty and also witnessed the powerful attacks that knocked down the monsters. His expression was more serious than when he saw the monsters coming because if a common soldier could see the force of those attacks, Oliver could naturally assess them better. At that moment, Oliver understood that the red light district was the den of monsters and although he didn't feel that he was inferior to any of them, that was just based on the attack he had just seen, he couldn't say for sure that it was the most powerful attack of these hidden experts. Oliver, being an experienced general, was a cautious man and that's why he decided to pay more attention to what the red light district was hiding, because he knew Andrew's ambition and that ambition would generate many enemies, so he had to know who they were up against. The battle continued throughout the day and fortunately, the Heavenly Palace was not damaged, as every time a monster approached the red light district, it was knocked down by some spell. The city, although a little more damaged, had not suffered much damage either and there were only a few monsters left to eliminate, but with Zelfit's command and the intervention of Aldus and Redeus, the two knights of the empire, the threat was eliminated. MVLeMpYr-chapter After the last monster was eliminated, all the surviving soldiers cheered with joy. Many even began to hug each other glad they survived. For the powerful ones, a stampede like this was nothing to celebrate, in fact, they did not believe it was a threat, but most of those who defended the city were simple soldiers, for them it was a battle of life and death. Unfortunately, when everyone was cheering with joy and celebrating victory, a huge magic circle appeared in the sky. Located right in the center of the city and when Zelfit, Aldus, and Redeus saw it, they couldn't help but worry, because they knew what that magic circle was. Magic circles are used for only one reason and that is to create formations although there are many formations, such as defensive barriers, illusion barriers, and many others, each one has its own peculiarities and the one they were looking at was a summoning formation. Just as they thought, in less than a second the magic circle glowed brightly and when the glow disappeared, a huge monster landed in the center of the city, destroying everything in its path. The monster looked like a minotaur. The head of an ox and hoofed feet, although it had two fairly robust human arms and carried a spiked steel mallet in each hand. The minotaur was about 5 meters tall and robust as a mountain. Muscles that stacked on his body surpassed any bodybuilder in existence and just seeing it generated despair.

And it was not surprising, since these monsters were considered a calamity, since they were extremely strong and above all with great resistance, making it difficult to fight against them. Aldus and Redeus as knights of the empire and two of the most powerful warriors in the country moved instantly to face him, knowing that apart from them and Zelfit no one else could face the minotaur. Their speed was impressive because, in a matter of seconds, they reached where the minotaur was and mercilessly attacked, but true to his reputation, the minotaur resisted the attacks with practically no damage. Aldus and Redeus immediately became serious, because although they knew about the characteristics of the minotaurs, they had never faced one and they did not think it was so resistant. Although impressed, they did not stop their attacks. Violent slashes that seemed to tear space were released one after the other attacking the monster, which seemed to be unaffected by them. The minotaur not only received the attacks, but swung his steel maces with great strength and speed, but he was slower than the two knights, even so, with each blow thrown by the minotaur, one or several buildings in the city were destroyed. Not wanting the minotaur to cause more damage, Aldus decided to attack harder. He stopped in front of the minotaur and with his sword sheathed, he took a position to attack. The minotaur noticed him and ran frantically with the intention of destroying him, but when he was about 5 meters from Aldus he drew his sword and shouted, "Destructive lightning!!!", and from his sword, a thunderous golden bolt was shot that pierced the stomach of the minotaur. Incredibly, the minotaur, even with a hole in his stomach, did not stop his advance, surprising Aldus. Due to the attack he had made, Aldus was confident and believed that it would be enough to kill the minotaur, but seeing him continue to advance, he was now in danger. It was his arrogance that landed him in this situation and as he prepared to take the minotaur's blow, Redeus appeared over the minotaur's shoulder and almost whispered, "Death rapier", thrusting his spear into the minotaur's head, piercing his head from the side. Redeus's spear pierced the minotaur's head through the temple and seconds later the minotaur fell lifeless to the ground. Aldus breathed a sigh of relief and with a small nod, thanked Redeus for saving him, as he really was in a bad position. Although the monster had been eliminated, none of them lowered their guard, since they did not know if there would be another summon or enemy in the shadows that would attack them, but the minutes passed and nothing happened, so they concluded that there would be no more attacks. When they had relaxed and met with Zelfit to discuss the events, a loud explosion was heard. The three of them immediately located the direction where the explosion came from and in a second they disappeared to move towards the source, since the explosion came from the castle.
