On this day, earthquakes rippled across the world.

The disappearance of the "SSS" class Heavenly Beast, White Tiger Azazel has been confirmed.

Although he had been sealed since 300 years ago, he still a SSS Class Beast.

With his disappearance, it might be a sign of a new threat born in a different place.
However, after the 40th day passed since the information of his disappearance, the Heavenly Church declared the complete disappearance of the "White Tiger Azazel".

Count Thomas Bruce was angry

(As if such ridiculous thing can be true!!!)

He cursed so while remembering the Cardinal's words.

Cardinal Clark Belfast.
It maddened him to even recall those words.

(The threat of the "White Tiger Azazel" has disappeared. Therefore, the provisions and monetary support from the Heavenly Church shall be terminated from today.)

Saying so, the Cardinal ended the one-sided conversation.

After calling him one-sidedly, he was even made to wait for three hours.

Certainly, the monetary support he had received until now was extremely helpful.

As his territory which bordered the Great Mystic Forest is the cornerstone of defense for Camelot Kingdom's frontier.

But that's not just a problem for the Camelot Kingdom alone, it's also Heavenly Church's which bordered the territory.

Although the "White Tiger Azazel" was sealed, he's being a threat wasn't change.

That's no exception even for the monsters

No, rather, it could be said that he was more of a threat for the monsters.

With the disappearance of such threat would only mean the increasing activity of monsters' movement.

Although the defense of the frontier area should be strengthened, they ended their support in this timing.

This was the reason of Count Thomas Bruce's anger.

And though the Heavenly Church had their own reasons, none mattered to Thomas.

'What should I do to protect my territory now...'

He has the money to hire mercenaries.

As for the Magnus Association's adventures, they're unreliable in case of emergency.

And as for the Church, his ray of hope had just informed him the termination of support.

His last hope is from the kingdom, but... Thomas despaired imagining the king's face.

Even until now the king hadn't given any support with the existence of the "White Tiger Azazel".

As the threat is gone now, he thinks that the defense expenses would simply be reduced.

And if he handled it poorly, he'd be unable to increase the tax.

Just thinking such things caused Thomas to frown.

Inside the carriage returning towards his territory, Thomas racking his brains for the measures hereafter.

Thomas head was full thinking about monsters, he couldn't think about another threat...

Thomas wasn't the only one troubled by the situation.

Camelot in terms of scale is a mid-sized country. Therefore, even if something happened it would be stopped at the frontier.
