"Veneth, The Psychotic Savage was known for her extreme tortures. She likes to collect different kinds of men, especially human males. It was said that before she changes into an Ancient Demon, she was a noble lady that was tortured and killed by bandits while traveling back to her territory.
It was said that it was her husband that planned her supposed accident because he wants to marry his mistress. That's why after she transformed into an Ancient Demon, she immediately killed her husband and captured his soul to be her slave, while she tosses the mistress to the Demon Army so that she can experience what she has gone through."
"Brother Duayne, do you know where is the Demon Army's territory?" I questioned.
"They say that it's somewhere between Oban and Reclira. But nobody can certainly pinpoint its exact location."
"Why is that so?"
"Well, some people say that they do not stay in the same place so that no one can find them and that they have an artifact that can cover their location."
"It means that their territory can move?" I concluded.
"It seems so. You are so bright, little Evie." He praised and patted my head.
"Do you know which country is Veneth came from?"
"Hmm. It was not known because no records were found. Plus, she was the second Ancient Demon that joined the Demon Army 700 years ago and many countries were destroyed by the war with them."
"Please continue the other three Ancient Demons, brother Duayne," I said to him.
"Sure, the other guests have not yet arrived. Are you bored?"
"Yes." I nodded my head.
"Ok, let's continue. Sazaran, The Repulsive Fiend was known because he was the latest born Ancient Demon that joined the Demon Army. He introduced himself to the former emperor during the war. Not much information has been found because he just showed himself 50 years ago. But according to the former emperor, he seems to be very disgusted with the Elven tribes."
"Former emperor, you mean our grandfather? He fought with Sazaran?"
"Yes. It was said that Sazaran's face looks like a dark elf and he has the power to control dead animals and plants. Maybe that's the reason he was very repulsive to the Elven Tribe because he was a former elf himself. But we do not know the reason why he became an Ancient Demon. Remember that being born as an Ancient Demon is you must have deep malice and hatred in your heart."
"I know that. But how come the gods do not stop it from happening?"
I was curious about this because I can say that the gods of this world are very powerful, so how come they cannot stop when someone has deep malice and hatred?
"Because the gods could not interfere with our choices. They could only guide us, but cannot force us with their bidding. That's why they gave us the 11 rules to guide us. Do you remember from the book that did not force the ancient species when they started to faction themselves?"
"You mean that the gods are just the shepherd and we are the sheep?"
"Good analogy! Hahaha!"
"But they gave their blessings to others. Why is that?"
"Because they want to help us from the Demon Army. Even though they ignored everyone, they still want us not to be conquered by the Demon Army. They want us not to be too dependent on them but want us to learn from our mistakes and help ourselves."
"I understand. Does this mean that anyone could be an Ancient Demon?"
"Yes, anyone could become one if that's the path they chose. That's why they are very powerful because their strength comes from their emotions. They channel their malice and hatred to be their power."
"Brother Duayne, it seems that you are very knowledgeable with this book and about the gods. Do you have a blessing of Fedzotz, The God of Knowledge?"
"Hahaha. No one can escape your eyes, little Evie." He said while laughing.
"That's why you were able to know that I have Cuvean's blessing. I am just simply observant." This guy seems innocent-looking scholar, but he has a very deep mind. I simply wish if I could not get him to be a member of my idol group, he could work for me. Hahaha!
"Okay, moving on to the third Ancient Demon. Azimar, The Foolish Clown, was the third to join the Demon Army. He is known for causing wars between countries. He tries to instigate each country by manipulating them. He loves to manipulate people and is very scheming.
He is also the advisor of the Demon Army, known for his knowledge and intellect. It was said that he was a part of the vampire clan. No one knows how he became an Ancient Demon. He joined the Demon Army 500 years ago."
"The vampire clan is known for their youthful face aren't they?" Also, most vampires I know from my last life were stunningly hot. Of course, the last sentence was just in my mind. Hahaha!
"Yes, they were once humans but were inflicted by a curse by an ancient witch. They move to the mountains of Reclira because of the cold weather there. But they still contact the human species and sometimes send an envoy to visit the empire."
"Have you ever seen one of them, brother Duayne?" I was really curious about the vampire clan's face. And they still contact the humans, which means that they are still allies with us.
"No, I haven't seen one, but maybe we could when the Alliance Summit comes."
"When will it happen?"
"In 5 years. Every 5 years the empire prepares a summit so that the empire's allies can meet and have a conference regarding politics, wars, and trade."
"Is that so?" Well, 5 years seems long, but with the things I am planning to do, time will just move fast for me.
"Now, onto the last Ancient Demon. Branath, The Old Devil, was infamous for being the first Ancient Demon to join the Demon Army. It was said that he is the second Ancient Demon to be born exactly 850 years ago. It was said as soon as he joins the Demon Army, it greatly boosted their power and he was directly acknowledged as their first king.
The reason he joined them was simply that he wants to rule the world. He is very greedy for power and wealth. He is also very powerful. It was said that his power can cause grounds to shake and mountains to erupt."
