Entertainnt in the bath took quite so ti, but the next morning, Adam and his won returned to work with a lively appearance, looking refreshed, as if they had been reborn. The return to work was smooth, and it seed that their efficiency had doubled as if their entertainnt had turned into so kind of magic. Even Amarantha herself was surprised when she discovered that her powers had undergone slight, but at least so, changes. And Adam knew the reason.

There were many changes, both at the demon level and the class level, while his sin "Pride" was completed at 70%, which, in its way, outpaced all previous sins and could be said to have set so kind of record. For so unknown reason, Adam was able to complete this sin ahead of ti, as if he had so kind of affinity with it, but he found a simple reason for it—just a matter of convenience. Nevertheless, seeing his stats, he was happy.
"Although it's slow, I'm developing steadily... considering the bonus from the skill, I suddenly gained finer control over my magic, making it much stronger than before, although, undoubtedly, the class itself hinders my further actions," Adam thought and sighed. "For so reason, I have a feeling that this is not by chance. Considering the encounter with soone who, in essence, shouldn't exist and his words to back then,
Adam fell silent for a mont, pursing his lips, recalling Casanova's words that had firmly settled in his thoughts. Based on this, he made a decision: "I must beco more vigilant. Coincidences in the past can be a conspiracy of the future, and given all this movent with the demons, I'm in a crappy situation."
Cracking his neck out of habit, Adam sighed and then adopted a serious expression, shifting his focus to work. Imdiately, docunts appeared on his desk, materializing out of thin air. It was a technology created thanks to Elyra and Amarantha, who combined their knowledge of magic to create a kind of teleportation, but only for docunts and small objects weighing no more than fifty kilograms.
"Let's see..."
Work began with important papers that needed urgent scrutiny, and for today, there were only two of them. They were marked in a special red color with patterns acting as fras, but these patterns created a magical barrier to prevent reading of the docunts to avoid tracking or data leakage.
"The title... a deciphered letter from the beastn, or rather, the leader... Let's see," mumbled the man, picking up the first important paper.
As he touched it, he felt the soft and smooth surface of the paper, and it emitted a delicate scent of roses, reminiscent of his wife, Amarantha.
"She checked the docunts but still sent them to . This ans only one thing: the matter is very serious."
Imdiately, his focus shifted, and he beca much more attentive to his work. He sat in a comfortable position, tilting his head slightly, and began reading each word carefully, paying attention to every letter, trying not to miss any detail that could beco fatal for him in the future if he made a mistake. Reading eventually took two hours, of which he spent one in contemplation. His face was filled with doubt, and his heart froze while his intuition sent warning signals.
"Just reading this report made my mind wary. I can feel the power behind these words, and my intuition tells that our interlocutor is not a simple being," Adam concluded, putting the paper aside and sighing, leaning back in his chair, and pondering the sender. "The leader of the beastn, the Wolf tribe An unknown figure; even Amarantha doesn't know about them. Only one fact is known: their strength is on par with or perhaps even greater than Alexander's, but I haven't detected any particular hostility."
The letter was short—very short, considering the standard and etiquette when sending a ssage from one leader to another. Typically, such ssages started with praise and introductions and only then moved on to the topic at hand. Adam found this tedious, so he was pleased to see that the leader of the beastn spared him from unnecessary formalities. Whether the sender was a man or a woman was unknown, but in their letter addressed to Adam, they wrote:
"From the mont you read this ssage, a day, or even two, may have passed. Therefore, let's consider our eting today as soon as you finish reading the letter. The negotiations, during which you deceived my subordinates, showed that you are not soone to be trifled with, which undoubtedly impressed but also raised so dissatisfaction. I hope that by the ti of our eting, we can discuss these matters."
A very concise letter that occupied very little space on the whole sheet of paper, and the language used was straightforward, with the leader addressing Adam informally. Since Adam didn't mind being addressed familiarly, he chose to ignore this rudeness, attributing it to the fact that beastn were not known for their manners. So he simply shrugged.
"Fascinating... very fascinating," he muttered, smiling slyly, sensing a powerful aura outside the city, about five kiloters away. This aura was second only to Amarantha's by one level. "I must say, you're not an ordinary individual; you're the leader of the wolves... Well, I understand you and am ready for honest negotiations, but I hope you can et my requirents."
Cracking his knuckles, Adam took a semi-transparent sphere in his hand and infused it with his magical energy, establishing a two-way connection with Elara, who imdiately answered.
"Yes?" Her gentle and affectionate voice ca through.
"Elara, issue an order to the army: imdiately prepare the best defenses, activate protective layers on the houses, and instruct the citizens to stay indoors. Danger level: S ."
"..." There was silence instead of an imdiate response, lasting a few seconds, but the girl replied, "Roger. I'll get to work right away."
"Mm..."
Adam cracked his neck and turned his head, looking over his shoulder at Amarantha, who stood behind him. She was gazing in the direction where Adam had been looking a few minutes ago when she chuckled.
"Now it's clear who it is. This will be fun," she said, then turned her gaze to her husband and smiled at him. "But don't worry. Despite her gruff personality, she's very kind."
"I don't care, as long as she doesn't cause problems," replied Adam, getting up from his seat. "Let's go; it's ti to work."
"Sure."
***
The residents of the city of Sedyon were in a small panic, which spread through their minds due to the sudden pressure that descended upon them. Although the guards reassured them that it wasn't demons, so fools added fuel to the fire, crying out desperately.
"We're going to die! Demons are attacking!"
"Damn, I paid money for protection!"
It was like an infection, infecting the hearts of the citizens who were being cald down by the guards. However, the result was ager; mass disturbances began, and so even attacked the guards, leading to even greater chaos. Adam noticed this situation and, with a click of his tongue, released his pressure and amplified his voice with magic.
"CITIZENS!" His loud and imposing voice sounded, acting as a calming influence on the panicking citizens. "This is your city mayor speaking. I demand calmness from you and that you follow the advice and requests of the guards. There is no reason for panic; this is just a training exercise that will help ensure your safety in the future."
Adam's voice, imbued with magical charms, washed away all the panic and replaced it with confidence.
Just a minute ago, crying citizens took on a brighter look, their eyes shining with new strength as if they had found hope or sothing to hold on to.
"Phew. I thought demons were attacking, but this is a blessing," one person said.
"Yeah, they sure caused a panic here. Cowards!"
"Hey, brave guy, weren't you crying in the fetal position just a minute ago?"
"No, that wasn't !"
The guards exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the worst had passed. Now they focused all their efforts on guiding the citizens to a safe place and distributing them among the houses. This was the reason why houses in Sedyon cost so much, and not everyone could afford them. It was the privilege of magical protection, a very expensive privilege, under the seal of Sedyon, which few could replicate.
One way or another, the main character of today's chaos was approaching them at a terrifying speed, and within two minutes, she had reached the city gates.
BOOOOOOM!
A loud explosion rang out, which was muffled thanks to the barrier around the city, but even so, Adam could feel the overwhelming force, which was incredibly raw and powerful. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest, enhancing his vision. Through the dust cloud, he spotted a tall figure.
After so ti, the dust cloud settled, and Adam saw a beautiful woman who stood out because of her pointed ears, which were different from human ears. She had blue hair and golden eyes, a slender and muscular body, and was dressed in worn leather armor. In her hands, she held a massive sword, the blade of which was two ters tall and 15 centiters thick.
