I sighed when I looked at my stats. It was somehow strong but the existence of demon flag inside me was very bothering. I knew that at the outside I didn't change but in the inside, I was slowly changing.

"Brurururu!!"

Sora shook his head.

"Are you comforting me? Thanks, partner."

I praised him and brushed his mane.

I was speechless when I saw the stats of this horse. His stats were even stronger than Leonardo from three years ago. But, my face went grim when I saw Acedia Flag Growth Correction on the Passive Effect.

"Legion?"

I titled my head. I summoned my menu and saw a flash of notification on the main menu window. I tapped it and suddenly a wide screen popped out.

I was taken aback by the game advertisement-like content. The event boost was quite something but no matter how I read it, the content was ominous. The creator of this system was crazy indeed.

I then realized that the screen can be scrolled sideway to see the second page. Without hesitation I swept the system announcement.

Absolute Raider : Lower the chance of Rebellion caused by the residents of the conquered region by 99%. Forcefully turn the resident of the conquered territory into loyal subordinate.

Invisible War Horn : Increase the Chance of recruiting an army. The recruited army will be turned into a loyal soldier.

I widened my eyes when I saw the advertisement. The Event Bonus aside, the condition of the heroes really perilous indeed. If the world knew this, they would fell into despair for sure. Especially when they heard about the part of Three Demon Lords were a subordinate of a certain Demon Lord.

But, this explained why the other demon lords could gather so much subordinates in short time. To oppose them, I wonder if I could recruit some myself. World conquest was also tempting somehow but I bet it was a bad idea.

I swept the advertisement to the third page.

Conqueror: Increase stats for every km square territory occupied by 0.001%. Increase reset every New Moon.

This advertisement was directed toward the dragons. Just from seeing this made me depressed. The Demon Legion Bonus was more tempting than the Hero Side on single glance. The demon side has a lot of buff but the buff of the demon side was only temporarily as the Hero side was a permanent boost of strength.

I swept the page to see the last advertisement.
