Oz and co entered the prison together. The prison had already made in advance in case if there are in need to imprison criminals and to interrogate invaders that came.
The prison has only two floors. But the most important parts of the prison are placed in the basement. With more than two hundred soldiers guarding it, the basement is filled with the tightest guards and interrogation room with full equipment.
When Oz and co went into the basement, the guards guarding it stands and bow to them as they walk. The kings were placed in one place together, their neck, hands, leg, and hips are restricted by chains, making them impossible to move and escape.
Five guards are stationed to watch on them with three shift rolls. Oz entered the iron door of the prison, and three different races with muscular bodies appeared at his sight.
Oz observes the prisoners, but his eyes got distracted by one of the kings.
“Wait, why does this minotaur are in the worst shape than the others?” Asked Oz.
“Um… Magra?” (Aegir)
“Let me explain to you, my lord. When I’m in the middle of subjugating him, he incurs the wrath of the orcs by mocking and disgracing your name, so I decided to give him a lesson, but it looks like I’ve gone too far,” Said Magra as he kneeled in front of Oz.
“I see, if that’s the case, it can’t be helped. But indeed, it seems that you’ve gone a little bit too far,” Said Oz with a wry smile.
One of the minotaur’s horns are gone, and his body is full of scars. He’s so beaten up that Oz could barely see the hint of consciousness from his eyes.
!!!!!!!!!
All of the people present inside the prison tensed up because of a sudden enormous murderous intent emitted by Oz. All of the kings immediately awake from their slumber with a shocked face.
“Hm… I need to convey my thanks to Elena. The technique of waking up people with murderous intent was proved pretty useful,” Oz said with a satisfied smile.
“Y-you… Who are you?” Asked the one who is called the king of the west, the battered minotaur.
“Now, now. I’m the one who is going to interrogate you today. I got a lot of ways to make you speak, but I prefer not to use them,” Oz said with a dangerous tone.
Gulp!
The sound of the kings swallowing their saliva could be heard.
Oz could see the arrogance from the kings, they must have occupied their positions for quite long, their power could be considered powerful, but one question still stuck inside of Oz’s mind.
“For starters, let me hear your answers, who bestowed you the title of being a king?” Asked Oz with a domineering manner.
“….”
“Answer me,” Oz once again pressure them with his murderous intent.
“Because we’re the first one to enter the [king] rank,” Answered the ogre, the king of the north.
“I see… Wait, you’re at the [King] rank?” (Oz)
(Then how could Magra and others defeat them!?) (Oz)

“I-impossible… How could all of you ranked up so much in such a short time?” (Oz)
“It is all the fruit of their hard work, Ren. They worked their bones until the middle of the night to grind experiences at the dungeon, they asked me to keep this a secret from you to surprise you, well, the others too though,” (Aegir)
“But to rank up in such a short time is still impossible… Wait, the others too!?” (Oz)
“Well, everyone wants to get stronger,” Aegir said with a shrug.
“D-don’t tell me… You also followed them to the dungeons, Aegir?” (Oz)
“What could I do? I can’t resist the temptation of getting stronger in a few days,” (Aegir)
“A few days?” (Oz)
“Let me explain it to you, my lord. Two weeks ago, I heard a weird voice inside my head when I’m asleep, I thought that I’ll forget about it when I wake up, but I found myself couldn’t get it out of my head,” (Magra)
“I told the voice that I heard to Aegir and found out that he also heard that voice, and when I asked Fedra, he said that he also heard the same voice with the same words, so Aegir hold a meeting for all of the executives, and found out that everyone heard the voice, even Geeta heard it too,” (Magra)
“What does the voice said?” (Oz)
“With a strange manner of speaking, it said ‘You’ll be granted 10 days to get 400% experience points from all creatures you slain. Slay as much as you could to grind experiences points and rank up’ ” (Magra)
(I-it’s must be the prompt!!!) (Oz)
“Because of that, we agreed to try going to the dungeon together and try to kill some magic beasts inside it. But when we slay the magic beasts there, for every creature we slay, we felt a tremendous power accumulating inside of us, and we felt stronger every time we kill,” (Magra)
“On that day, Azaline and Geeta ranked up from the count rank into the Marquiss rank just after two hours clearing the dungeon. Seeing that occurrence, all of us got pumped up to slay more and we keep doing that until ten days. And after 10 days, the feeling of tremendous power accumulating after we kill a creature disappeared,” (Magra)
“And we found ourselves had accumulated these much power, and that’s the end of the story,” (Magra)
(I see, so the prompt gave them 10 days to get a 400% boost of their experience points. And they take advantage of it and took their time grinding experience points from killing monsters inside the dungeon) (Oz)
“But how could Azaline ranked up so much?” Oz asked once again.
“It just shows how much she worked harder than anyone,” (Aegir)
“I see,” (Oz)
*Pat*
“Wha-What are you doing!?” Azaline shouted in surprised because Oz suddenly put his hand on top of her head.
“Hm? Just giving a reward for your hard work, good job Azaline, you really did great, I’m so proud of you,” Said Oz with a gentle voice and kind smile that could make any woman melts.
After letting Oz patted her head for about a minute making her head as red as a potato, Azaline finally said: “D-do you think I’m a kid!?” And push away Oz’s hand from her head.
“Sorry for the interruption, but let’s continue the interrogation, shall we?” Aegir said with a wry smile.
“Ah! Sorry, well, it’s good news that all of you had powered up so much, we need to celebrate this later. Okay, where are we? Ah, yeah, next question, you ogre, I heard that you saw the elf queen, is that true?” (Oz)
“Yes, it is true. I knew that only the queen of the elves possess a crown made by pure magic pearls,” (Ogre)
“Then the next question, why are you so obedient? I haven’t even unleashed my murderous intent again to pressure you to speak, but you answered it already, why? How could I believe your words?” (Oz)
“There is a rumor spread across all of the magical forests, I’m sure all habitant of the forest heard the rumor, I finally meet the king the rumor mentioned, I didn’t want to perish,” Said the ogre with his hoarse voice.
“What rumor?” (Oz)
“The rumor is: ‘An emperor from unknown will appear, he’ll obtain the absolute strength and rule the forbidden forest, all habitants of the forest will kneel and cower under him, ones who oppose him will perish, and ones who follow him will prosper, choose and decide wisely’ it said,” The ogre said the rumor that heard like a poetry with his hoarse voice.
“How could I sure that you’re saying the right thing?” (Oz)
“All of us heard the same thing,” The cow-headed beastmen cut in, he keeps his mouth shut until now, but now he suddenly talks.
“Yes, I also heard it, I believe all of us tried to conquer the forest because of that rumor, all of us believed that the one who will take the emperor’s throne is ourselves,” (Minotaur)
“All the things the ogre said is the truth, only people who ever saw my mother could know that she wears the magic pearl crown. It’s a secret to prevent the urge of stealing from other races, especially humans,” (Azaline)
“I see, where do the demons bring her?” (Oz)
“I don’t know… But one thing for sure, it’s not a demon who captured the queen of the elves,” (Ogre)
“What!? Then who!?” Oz’s voice got higher.
“It’s not demons, but humans…” (Ogre)
!!!!???
“T-that must be those f*&%$#g bastards,” Oz muttered as he remembered about the slave dealers he faced together with Alfred, Sen, and Azaline.
“Do you know where they’re going?” (Oz)
“They’re going to the north,” (Ogre)
“It must be them. Relax Azaline, I think I knew where your mother is, now, for the next question, do you want to join us?” (Oz)
“I know it will come to this…” (Aegir)
“Yea, somehow, I’m not surprised anymore,” (Azaline)
“As expected of my lord, to making a for into an ally,” (Talak)
“Of course! It’s our lord, after all!” (Magra)
“Y-you’re inviting us?” (Minotaur)
“Yea, hm… It must be hard to decide it on the spot, just take your time, you can answer the question anytime,” (Oz)
“Let’s go back, Aegir. I want to meet the others,” Said Oz as he turns his back and prepared to leave the prison, but a voice suddenly made him stopped.
“I-I accept your offer, your majesty! I and all beastmen under me will follow your rule!” The cow-headed beastmen shouted in a rush, he’s afraid that Oz will never come back and the offer will expire.
“M-me too! All of the minotaurs are ready to serve you!” The minotaur follows suit.
“Me too! The ogre tribe too!” (Ogre)
Oz smirked.
“Then so be it, I’m going to make you work until you can’t feel your bones anymore, prepare of it,” Said Oz and he continues to leave the place together with his underlings.
When they get out of the prison’s building, Oz suddenly stopped.
“What is it, Ren?” (Aegir)
“Aegir, there is a thing that I still suspect, tell Brad to search for some places, I’ll tell you where the places are later. If they became a king because of their rank, then they are not the only kings,” (Oz)
“What do you mean?” (Azaline)
“Magic beasts, those kings we captured could only be considered as a demi-human, there are the magic beasts that are more ferocious than them, it’s impossible for them to don’t have a king of their own, I knew there is something wrong with their strangely low number back then,” (Oz)
