Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro's voice was clear even in all this ruckus, especially for his skeletons which obeyed his orders without hesitation and stopped in their tracks. This sudden change was apparently related to Ibro's presence, so if anyone didn't hear him before, he would focus on Ibro. 

A chain reaction of stopping followed by a silence started in the whole city, so the hot situation got under control within moments.

"My king, I'm so sorry if anyone here has annoyed you. If you wish, I can kill or expel these offenders now."

Remon's voice came from far as he was attracted by this chaos, he came flying rapidly from the palace once he spotted his king. Ibro was following his moves via his divine sense, so he said very loud and clear:

"Nothing happened, Remon, just bring everyone into the palace to talk. I have no time to waste."

Just as he was about to move to the palace, he paused as he said to the system:

'Start absorbing their demon energy.'

Ibro then took out his sword while his system started to absorb everyone's demon energy from the seeds planted into them. Ibro used his three spells followed by his sword whirlpool strike to eliminate all the seeds inside everyone here. 

His moves came sudden, but were very rapid for anyone to even react. After he killed all the seeds in a matter of minutes, he continued to head towards the palace with confidence and ease. 

This wasn't the first time for him to do so, but it was indeed the first time for all the NPCs who got freed, so they, without any previous agreement, knelt on the ground shouting out loud:

"Long live the king… Long live the king…"

The loud cheering was very strong and kept echoing in the distance for quite some time. Ibro entered the palace with the company of Remon and some of his trusted aides.

"Tell me, how many cities did you manage to recruit?"

"So far, over 50 top cities in different worlds agreed to join our cause, my king. I also feel optimistic about more cities to join us in the near future," Remon said with utmost respect.

"Good, 50 cities with their resources will make us move faster in our plans at the gate world," Ibro then took out a couple of storage rings and gave them to Remon, "Take these and distribute what's inside to all of these NPCs. After that, gather them outside the city walls so I can move them into my world."

"Immediately, my king."

Ibro watched Remon while moving rapidly outside. He kept watching him using his divine sense, while his mind was still thinking about that trap that laid waiting for him. Although he was focusing too much over it, he couldn't even have a single lead that could guide him.

'Sigh, it's really hard to fight with someone sneaky like that enemy.'

Ibro then put that matter to the side as he moved outside his palace. Remon had completed his task and all the NPCs participating in this complaint were now ready outside the city. Ibro stood high in the sky as everyone's attention was focused on him as he said:

"I will move all of you to a special place where you will find a teleportation portal there linked with the gate world. Your mission is to occupy as many villages as you can, build these villages to reach the level of mighty cities, and you need to finish this task in less than two months time. So, let's not waste time here."

'Move all of them into my world just beside the teleportation portal, also notify some dragons to keep company with them. we have 50 groups, so prepare 50 groups of dragons,' Ibro said to his system.

'Why do I feel like I turned into your servant, not your system?'

'Don't say something awful like that, you are my partner, not my servant. Now, move them as we have another mission to do,' Ibro said while moving back to the palace. 

Remon moved behind him, as Remon still had a mission he didn't finish yet. As for Ibro, he had a certain plan that he delayed for a long time already, but if he was pretty sure about the upcoming trap, then he must finish this task first.

"Remon, what did you do about the other task I gave to you?"

Remon knelt on the ground in respect to Ibro while saying:

"I already started to send skeleton armies into many worlds to conquer them. I'm also coordinating with lord Gorsag in attacking the same worlds together so as not to waste time."

Ibro nodded his head in satisfaction while asking about the thing he needed:

"I want you to ask and explore these worlds. There is a unique phenomenon where demons lost their powers in certain areas of the world. this phenomenon doesn't necessarily happen at all the worlds here, so I want you to ask around and give me a list of names regarding these worlds."

"Weakening spot?" Remon murmured before he added, "I heard here in this world we had this phenomenon, also I heard about such a thing in some of the worlds our armies have visited."

Ibro smiled as he said with excitation:

"Good, send words to Gorsag, he also saw this phenomenon before, I want both of you to act fast and gather intel from all the worlds. This list must be finished in less than one day."

Remon paused for a second, as one day was really short time indeed, but his mind had found a good way to do it, so he said at once:

"My king, may you allow me to enter the world of your now before the NPCs pass through the teleportation portal?"

Ibro's eyes shone as he said:

"You want to ask them about their worlds, that's a good idea. Ok, go inside and once you are finished, I will bring you back."

Remon then vanished from Ibro's eyesight as he appeared there inside his world, just next to the teleportation portal. Remon's stay there didn't last long, as in less than 5 minutes in the real world he reappeared again.

"I'm sorry for my delay, my king, but I found there many NPCs from other worlds as well. They came from their devastated worlds seeking shelter at these 50 cities," Remon said as he took out a scroll and gave it to Ibro who opened it at once. 

Inside, he found a list of names of worlds and their corresponding main cities that he could teleport to. The list was short, somehow only 15 worlds were listed there. Ibro asked with doubt:

"Only these worlds had that phenomenon?"

"Yes, my king. I double checked the info here many times, and this list came from over 200 worlds in this universe. I know there are some other scattered worlds here, but I doubt I can find a similar number like this." 

Remon said at once trying to explain how he came up with this list. On the other hand, Ibro noticed something else. 

It seemed Remon thought he was trying to check some places of this phenomenon. Ibro would never tell anyone about Ren's relic that he was hunting, so he said trying to find another excuse:

"I want you to keep looking and searching for any other world. I want to check all the places, maybe I can find something there that could help us in our next war with demons. So, don't underestimate this task, it's very important to me and to all of us."

Remon's eyes shone as he replied with great enthusiasm:

"I understand, my king, so I will use all my efforts to find this phenomenon."

Ibro smiled, he knew that convincing someone with logic with one hundred times better than just ordering him like puppets.
