The door then opened revealing an amazing hall with several people sitting on chairs of a round table.
I went closer to the first chair and sat while most of the ones present looked at me with surprise and utter fright and resentment.
I am quite popular it seems.
The butler then approached me and said
"That seat belongs to one of the highest ranking generals in our army, I would recommend that you change seats before they come in."
"No, I like this seat, he can sit somewhere else"
The butler had a vein popping on his forehead while Lilith only laughed.
"It seems that you guys have something to say to me, could you please say it fast as I have things to do."
Looking at their levels, none had passed the two hundredth, all of them old and wretched disgusting looking men…not my cup of tea, as I don't do well with old guys.
"Such rudeness! To not only have transgressed upon this place you even demand hast of us! Who do you think you are?! Remove that veil so that we can see your face!"
"Me, I am just someone you really don't want to piss off, and the veil stays on, so hurry up and speak. What do you want?"
Some even disagreed with my open threat, but none had the courage to speak it.
"We want to know how you managed to infiltrate this far without being detected, how were you able to hijack the summoning spell and be summoned here, are you capable of doing such, is your human race that advance in magic? Speak and you shall be spared torture, you will be mercifully put down if you speak without lies…"
What a bunch of arrogant pricks, yet they still think that I am human, it seems that Lilith decided that my origin or me coming from hell stays a secret, well I don't really mind either way but I sure don't like arrogant bastards…time to teach them a lesson in respect…
I stood up, smashing my hands to the table, hard enough that they all jumped from their places from fright
"You dare threaten me with torture!" I spoke while releasing aura of imposing pain.
Fully knowing that I should not target the girl and the butler, I sent the full effect over the old guys.
Most of them began wriggling in pain, unable to speak or breathe while I spoke once again
"If I was to be serious, you will all die if I even will it, so please spare me your haughty attitude, I had enough of that from creatures far scarier, far more imposing and far more dangerous than you could ever imagine, so please if you dare even say one damn word against me from now on, you shall bite your fingers off from regret once I am done with you"
Releasing the effect of the aura they all regained their composure, some was left unconscious yet the rest, had only a sight of fright and terror drawn on their face, their defiance was no more and their pride was broken, now they know the difference in strength and know that the one in control over this session is I, and they have nothing to say against it.
I sat down once again and asked
"So what is needed of me?"
None seemed able to speak, until one came from behind me.
"W-we need to know your intentions…"
Looking at the man he was wearing a military outfit, it seems that he was affected by the aura I released a moment ago as sweat was trickling down his forehead.
"You seem capable of destroying this place at a mere whim yet you have not done so, it brings me to think that you have other motives, so if we can agree to satisfying your needs we could do well with knowing your intentions"
"Truthfully, I have absolutely no need of any of you, I was summoned here due to luck, and frankly I only need the magic that belongs to the demon king. And for that I am here to pay the price of obtaining such magic, which is to derive the attention of the hero party from reaching your kingdom, a fair price to pay is it not?"
"What would guarantee that you will not run away with the magic and just leave us to the wolves, they will still attack if they don't have confirmation, we know for a fact that they have established a footing near the southern borders of our kingdom, and are readying up for some sort of operation"
"I know not their intentions to be honest, and frankly I don't care, I just need the magic, because I have a debt to settle with them, a debt that needs to be paid in blood."
Hidden ability activated
The hunt of the herald
All of those that have done you wrong, have been branded, to you they shall be prey to them you shall be the hunter, hunt the evildoers, and repay what was taken with blood, by blood.
Hmm interesting…
Closing my eyes I am able to see dots in the far distance, green dots that probably indicate my former classmates…quite an interesting ability…
Huh? Why are two of the dots close to this place???
I opened my eyes and rose
Grinning I thought, could it possibly be that some are this close, this will make an interesting event…
I walked out towards the door, and headed where I sensed the dots…followed by the demon king and the butler they both asked to where I was going, I could only reply.
"I have some friends that I need to meet, surprisingly they are here within this city"
Once we left the Shranvur I saw an amazing display of architectural art. The city was gracefully positioned upon a mountain, where several sectors divided by enormous walls separated the echelons of the city. We stood at the highest of sectors and far from where we were and directly on another mountain was the royal palace. As it looked to be made of black stone, having an enormous barrier of protection to prevent attacks around it, it looked to be impregnable. On the second floor of where we were was an enormous building that looked like a soccer field, no more like a coliseum…and in there, there was the origin of those dots…
"What is that?" I asked
"That is the arena," answered Lilith, "There is a tournament there, and I was supposed to go there after this meeting, why?"
"It seems that there is someone I know there, you don't mind me having a look right?" I said with a grin, yet before I could even wait for her answer, I began shadow stepping through space to reach the arena
My blood boiled at the sudden encounter, I wonder who is foolish enough to get all the way here, and who is unlucky enough to have only me to meet…
