Ray too raised his hand alongside Zara''s as both of them were smiling.


    The demons had already prepared their funerals and the few ones who hadn''t been trying to run away.


    But before either he or Zara and Ray could do anything, a rumbling sound echoed around the entire barony.


    Dark clouds gathered above the manor and the next second, a bolt of lightning fell down on the ground, resulting in smoke, rock, and dust being thrown around.


    Rising from the smoke was Issac standing with two old men beside him. A smile rested on his face while the other two men had dejected expressions as though they had just been defeated in an argument.


    [ They are strong…] The system muttered in a stunned tone as it sensed the powers of the two old men beside Issac.


    It couldn''t tell the exact power levels of the two neers since it didn''t have the knowledge of the power system.


    Despite that, the system could tell that the old men were as strong as Issac, who imed to be the strongest person alive so it wasn''t really a goodparison.


    Both Jason and the system then focused their attention on the two men as they saw them grumble silently.


    Jason knew the old man standing on Issac''s right.


    His name was Karna and he was the only shepherd in Duphia.


    Karna looked bored while standing in his position but when Issac nudged his shoulder, he sighed.


    He then closed his eyes as his body suddenly started to age backward, that too at an rming rate.


    The bald old man with wrinkles on his face quickly turned into a handsome young man who would make thedies swoon by smiling.


    Slightly silky blond hair had appeared on his head which seemed to bring out the color of his orange eyes.


    Jason looked at the Shepherd with slightly wide eyes for a few seconds before turning his gaze to the third man in the group.


    The first thing that entered his mind was whether he too would have a sudden glow up like the Shepherd.


    But all he saw was a scowl and the man muttering something to Issac.


    [ "Bruh, that''s not even a demonmander level threat and you summoned me? Even Ray alone could have taken care of that small fry…" ]


    ''You can tell what they are saying?'' Jason''s mouth suddenly hung open as he realized that the system could read lips.


    [ It came in the package. Ain''t I awesome? ]


    ''…''


    He then took in the man''s features.


    The man had curly ck hair all of which seemed to be curled in different directions, giving him the look of someone who just woke up from his sleep.


    Since Jason had never seen him before, he couldn''t tell the color of his eyes. He could however tell that the man looked as though he was in his early thirties.


    Though judging how old his grandfather and Karna were and how young they lookedpared to their ages, Jason decided to not think much about the man''s age.


    Furthermore, the ck-haired man was wearing a white coat that reminded Jason of the doctors and scientists back from Earth.


    Now that Jason had seen all three of them clearly, he could tell that Issac looked the youngest.


    [ Your grandfather always looks young so I guess Karna can''t pose any challenge to him. Damn, you got the good genes host. ] The systemmented.


    ''System, have you made a full scan of my body from A to Z?'' Jason asked in a slightly awkward tone as he heard a fake mechanical cough.


    [ Yes… ]


    ''I see…''


    Jason''s gaze turned towards Issac who seemed to be praising Zara and Ray.


    [ "Good job holding on guys. Now leave everything to us and go back." ] Issac said while maintaining his smile as the husband-wife pair looked at each other.


    [ "Dad, these demons barely seem like a challenge. I am sure even Jason, with a little help, could defeat them." ]


    Both of them said at the same time but Issac didn''t seem to be listening. The husband-wife pair sighed and instead walked back to the manor.


    Astaroth and the demons were left confused by the change in atmosphere as they looked at the three men.


    "Aww," Issac suddenly raised his hands to his chin and pouted. "You think underestimating us will let you live?"


    The Syrward family facepalmed at the way Issac spoke while Jason giggled slightly.


    The two men beside Issac didn''t seem to pay much attention to his words either and looked as though they would rather be somewhere else.


    Issac on the other hand didn''t seem to mind their behavior as he cracked his neck a bit before smiling.


    "Well, let''s fight now. We will only fight using punches and kicks. Deal?" Issac asked cheerfully as the other two sighed and nodded.


    "I guess not using magic or weapons would indeed be fun," Karna admitted. "The loser will have to treat the other two to wine from their personal stock."


    "I should have known that you brought me here for that reason only…" The coat-wearing man muttered as Karna and Issac grinned.


    As for Astaroth, he was wondering what the hell was happening.


    Wasn''t this a battlefield? Why the hell are you old men talking about wine?!


    "You dare underestimate one of the nine demonmanders?! Just cause I am below the sins doesn''t mean I am weak!" Astaroth suddenly shouted, forgetting his embarrassing performance.


    The ck-haired man suddenly paused as he turned his head in the Astaroth''s direction.


    Jason could now see the color of his eyes. Red like human blood.


    Astryn felt a weird yet invisible aura emitting from his body. She turned her gaze to stare at Astaroth who was a goner in her eyes.


    If he managed to escape by someone in a hundred trillion chances, the demons back on the continent would kill him.


    After all, he angered someone way beyond his league.


    "You should not tell lies that you are one of the nine demonmanders. You are not even a captain, much less a general. If the seven sins or the emperor heard your ims, you would have been yed alive."


    The man said in a cold tone as his eyes glowed once before turning normal.


    No one knew what happened but the next second, Astaroth''s head rolled down on the ground, his eyes wide open as though he had seen something that no one else could.
