Gabriel looks at the troops that appear in front of him. They all wear golden armor and wield swords, spears, and bows in their hands. This is the same army Ken Arok ordered to kill Kebo Ijo and all his three friends, Singo Joyo, Singo Kerto, and Singo Rekso. The army that hunts Kebo Ijo from the west to the east. The army that walks through land because of the order of their king. This is Ken Arok's loyal army that will always be with him until the end.
"Kill the one that tries to attack. Spare the one that surrendered."
After hearing his order, The King Troops begin to kill Hamengkubuwono XI men one by one. Before he gets inside the building, he remembers something and says.
"Don't kill the young man in the back. Bring him to me and gag him, so I can't hear his yapping."
He and Eka walk inside the building and leave the sound of many people dying in the back. When he arrives in front of the door, he can feel the barrier around the headquarter try to reject him from entering, but because of his newly acquired magic resistance, he walks through the barrier without any problem.
He looks around the headquarters and sees that this building is like a museum that holds many artifacts from the old time. Eka leads him to the meeting room where the other is located. As he walks inside the room, he sees many people sitting on the chair. When they see him going inside the room, they get up and bow at him then says.
"Welcome, Your Majesty"
He nodded at them before sitting down on the chair. As he sat down, the rest of the people inside the room also sat down.
"Now, let's hear you guys want to say."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been a month since the attack of Ken Arok. Eka and the other members of 'Sihir Hitam' were able to talk their way out for the action of Hamengkubuwono XI. The heir to the sultanate of Yogyakarta is in exile by order of his father. Hamengkubuwono XI is watched closely by the spy of the Indonesian mage association. If Hamengkubuwono XI tries to do something stupid once more, then Gabriel the Sixth Campione will kill the prince himself.
With the leader of His Majesty Gabriel, Indonesia Mage Association became a big fish in the world of magic. Many countries try to make an alliance with their country because of their Campione. However, only a few organizations can make an alliance because of the unique skill his majesty has. Lord Gabriel can read people and see if they try to use him or be honest with their offer to him. The only thing he can think about the ruler of Indonesia is his behavior is like a dragon. He is easy to anger and territorial, but he is fair and kind to his allies or at least the one that does not try to use him for their gain. Gabriel is the wise Dragon, as many people call him. He doesn't go into a fight if there is a problem and tries to solve it with negotiation, but if someone makes him angry, then there is nothing they can do.
There is one incident where people from Italy come to their country and try to make an alliance with their Campione. They sent a beautiful woman to try to seduce him and make herself his mate. However, Gabriel saw the deceit and interrogated her. They learn that women try to lure him to Italy and make him their puppet leader. After hearing that news, Gabriel goes to Italy and talks to the leader of the Mage association in Italy. They learned that the one sending the woman is one of the noble houses in Italy. Gabriel demands that the family be killed, but they hesitate to do it because the Noble house has a powerful influence as their house is the house of the previous Campione that died because of the Old Age.
Angry because his demand got rejected. Gabriel then began to run toward Milan, where the Noble House was located and set the city on fire. Until this day, the city of Milan is nothing but ashes. From that moment, Italy became the weakest country in the magic world. Not only do they lose their most powerful house but also many Grimore as when Lord Gabriel turns Milan into ashes, he stumbles upon a Grimoire.
The first Grimoire is the Prometheus' Grimoire. A Grimoire that has the power of Theft granting it the ability to steal the divine right or Authorities of any God, or their powers, their abilities, to then be used by the Grimoire's wielder.
The next one is the most precious Grimoire they get, which is the Book in Praise of David's Works. A book of magic that contains powerful spells capable of slaying gods and angels. The first Grimoire created by humans and not Heretic Gods.
Lord Gabriel got this book from the corpse of a Paladin, Saint Raffaello. Saint Raffaello is one of the most Paladin Italy has, but she died with her apprentice Salvatore Doni while they try to fight Lord Gabriel in his Dragon Form.
Another person that died in the event is Paolo Blandelli, the Commander in Chief of Copper-Black Cross. The organization that died because of the stupidity of their leader. The Copper-Black Cross is no more, as the representative of Italy Mage Association decided to disband the Knightly Order as offering to Lord Gabriel.
Lucky Sasha Dejanstahl Voban, the oldest of the six Campione, is on the hunt and busy fighting a Heretic God. When Lord Gabriel in Italy, Sasha Dejanstahl Voban is fighting a weather type Heretic God, From the spy network they have the oldest Campione fight the Chinese weather trio, Bo Feng the green warrior of wind, Yu Shi the blue warrior of rain, and Lei Gong, the red warrior of thunder. Rumor says that they fight for 24 hours without a break.
He snaps from his thought when one of his men approaches him and says.
"Sir, there is a sign of the Heretic God appearing in Indonesia."
"What?!? Where?"
"Our people predict it will descend in Palembang soil tomorrow morning."
"We must inform His Majesty."
Before Eka can run to Lord Gabriel's office, He hears something from his back.
"Don't worry. I hear all your conversation."
"Your Majesty!"
He looked at the figure standing not far away from him. Lord Gabriel has a height of 190 cm, which is tall for Indonesian. He has black eyes and black hair. His hair is cut short but not too short. Lord Gabriel is muscular but not to the point of like a bodybuilder.
"How long did it take for the other to prepare for my departure?"
"15 minutes, Your Majesty."
"Good, then immediately prepare for it. Is there any information for which God will descend?"
"By the look of it, our expert in mythology guessed it would be SI BORU DEAK PARUJAR, the Goddess of Agriculture and Farming. It also says that SI BORU DEAK PARUJAR is the reincarnation of DEWI SRI, a Goddess that was born from the tears of ANTABOGA."
"How do you know which god will descend?"
"We predict it by looking at the location it descends. Right now, Palembang has a unique phenomenon where many plants suddenly grow at abnormal rates. Any plant that grows at that time has a hint of Divinity inside its body."
"Very well, Time to go and greet this Heretic God."
"YES!"
