Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 168: Peace Gathering!

Leon returned to Madevin Metropolis.

He was instantly called by Madam Jasmin.

Not tired at all, for the journey back home was quite long, Leon left his carriage to his beloveds and made his way to Jasmin's house. Leon noticed the unfamiliar and foreign tense atmosphere as he went through the already familiar route.

People have already learned about The Death Lord.

However, that was not all.

Leon caught a few more names that shocked him. "The Human Emperor… The Chaos Dragon… Goddamnit… Things are getting really nerve-wracking…."

Leon sped up to Madam Jasmin's house.

Inside, he saw Else silently reading a book. When her golden eyes fell on Leon, she smiled and covered her face with the book, for her mother's serious gaze ordered her to not bother them. Moreover, Jasmin wanted to have her daughter close more than ever before.

Else's potential and talent was too strong, and she was sure that people would soon aim for her again… Who would it be this time? The Human Emperor? The Chaos Dragon? Or someone else?

"You managed to safely return from that disaster… With The Death Lord's return and his mayhem, you must've suffered a lot of nerves in that place, but I must ask you for details." Madam Jasmin turned to Leon and spoke in a soothing voice.

Leon nodded. "Our journey back lasted some time, so I've had enough time to think about it and calm down. Well, how should I begin this story?"

His main issue was that Leon didn't know whether he should talk about his identity. It'd raise many questions if he were to tell her that the undead hadn't aimed at him and his party at all.

But Leon felt his presence could lift up many of Madam Jasmin's worries, so he spoke about everything.

"I'll pass that dwarf to you soon. I want to absorb his skills first… I'll focus more on the business side while others proceed with their plans." Leon seriously said.

He felt a big curious gaze on him — turned to Else — and noticed that she quickly covered her eyes.

Madam Jasmin was more shocked than ever before. The man before her was on the same level as The Death God, and she felt like it was her responsibility to have him level up as fast as possible. And since leveling up wasn't just limited to killing monsters in this world, she decided to help him with his business.

Leon didn't refuse her kindness, though he knew she also did that for her guild.

"Thank you, and see you soon then." Leon bowed.

Madam Jasmin gently nodded and turned to her daughter. "You're too lucky, Else."

Leon's next days were quite busy.

First of all, he had a talk with the dwarf. It was a royal guard and royalty, but understanding his circumstances and seeing Leon and his women around him, the dwarf was quick to cooperate. He taught Leon a lot, and Leon's project was fruited.

At the same time, Celes worked with alchemy, concocting potions.

Louise had her entire memories back. Though it didn't seem like a lot had changed because her love toward Leon was the same — if not stronger — Louise had often talked and fought against Amaterasu, strengthening herself.

She also showered Leon with a lot of information from the past.

Leon worked with his guild to start his new business.

[You have received a quest! Become a bestselling merchant on your first day!]

[Reward: 20 levels.]

He nailed that quest.

His goods were also too good and useful for people in need, as chaos ensued in every continent, so Leon's items were selling faster than previous hot stuff!

It was also mainly to Celes' potions, which resulted in them inevitably falling to the bed together to celebrate the fruits of hard work.

And while Leon's family continued their progress, so did the others.

"Peace Gathering?" Leon asked his friend.

Arthur nodded. "Our guild will host that gathering soon. In a nutshell, all people that fought against The Human Emperor will gather to discuss their next moves. It's not just The Human Emperor now… The Death Lord announced his return, and The Chaos Dragon's Massacre continues in the spirit realm… Everyone must work together if we want to keep our homes intact!"

Arthur received a few high-quality potions from Leon's shop for that information.

Leon nodded and continued that topic. "The Chaos Dragon seems like the biggest mystery to me… I mean, Chaos should be an element that only humans can wield… Something changed, and he became eligible to use that power… I reckon his next move will be to bring back their adaptation to their race… That's the move that will unite every dragon, even those working with humans and dark guilds."

Arthur trembled from fear. "The Human Emperor brought his allies under his name… Even an empire known for its hatred toward him suddenly changed its stance and swore allegiance to him… The Death Lord hasn't left his conquered kingdom and remains silent there…."

Leon wondered about the other two elements.

There should be a person with a divine life concept. Moreover, Leon had cast away his space concept, so he wondered if that would also play a role in the world's matters. Was there someone who took over that concept? Maybe someone from the previous ancestor's family did that?

Leon had a feeling he'd soon see familiar faces.

"We're one of the trusted people… Our task will be to keep the Peace Gathering safe… We don't want anyone to infiltrate our capital and cause a mess here…." Arthur was so nervous that he couldn't properly voice his words.

But Leon understood him.

It'd be a disaster if someone impeded the Peace Gathering. At this time, it was important for humans and other races to be together and work as a unit, as other existences threatened the world's existence.

The Human Emperor's goal was pretty simple, though. He wanted to be back and have humans at the top. It sucked that he was such a cruel and apathetic ruler.

The Chaos Dragon surely would make an appearance soon.

The Death Lord's goal should be to blanket the world in death… But Leon found that goal quite a cringe.

As for others, Leon would wait and continue his leveling up with his beloveds.

In snowy lands, The Winterborn Royalty gathered.

Below them, an army of the strongest individuals stood straight, their faces grave.

Amidst them, one could find many beautiful flowers whose expressions reflected the gravity of their dire situation.

One particular flower stood out, her face shrouded in loneliness and palpable anti-social zone — Snow Demoness.

"We're going to the Heaven Library Guild for Peace Gathering! It's an important meeting where we'll talk about the fate of our race and the world!" The Winterborn King announced.

He then summoned the vast ice wyvern and saddled it alone.

He turned around to his wife and children, then nodded. "Keep our home safe."

His beloveds nodded, swearing to protect their ice lands to the very end!

And from all corners of the world, many races that felt frightened of The Human Emperor, The Death Lord, and The Chaos Dragon headed straight to the Heaven Library Guild.

It was time for a serious gathering that would change the lives of many, including Leon.
