"Who the fuck are?" Colin asked with a frown on his face as the Demon Viscount looked down on him
"My name is Askalad of the house of pride and I am here to redeem you of your crimes." Askalad said and Colin looked at him confused
"My crimes?" Colin asked
"Yes, your crimes. As a true demon, you are special creature, you are a part of the most powerful species of demons that exist. And as such, you were given the glorious opportunity to become a part of the strongest house, the house of pride. You given the glorious opportunity of becoming a morning star, yet you foolishly chose to create your own house. You arrogant child, do..." And he continued on and on, delivering a sermon about how great the house of pride was, but Colin had already stopped listening.
[So, what the fuck is this moron about?] Colin asked
[He's probably here to collect the bounty on you and your families head.] Bartus replied
[And he apparently chose to kill me by talking me to death.] Colin replied and Bartus chuckled. Colin scanned the fool's army and couldn't help but frown as he noticed a few other tier 5s among them besides Askalad. He counted three in total, he tried [Chaos Eyes] on all of them, but he couldn't see any of their statuses which was predictable considering he was only a level 2. But based on their auras, he could pick out which one was the strongest, tall green skinned guy with small tusks sticking out of his lower jaw. The guys was ripped like a body builder and he had golden stripe like tattoos all over his body. I checked the status of one of the demons that looked similar to him, and I quickly figured out what species he was.
'An orc huh, there is also a succubus and a tier 5...whatever the hell she is.' Colin thought as he looked at a woman wearing a black dress and carried a red trident in hand. She had a single black horn sticking out of her head, a pair of black bat like wings on her back and her complexion looked like that of a normal humans. Colin observed each of these tier 5s and he noticed something, they weren't looking at him or his companions, but at Askalad still giving a sermon in the air. And their gazes weren't reverential, or friendly for that matter, they were outright glaring at him.
[What's up to them, why are they glaring at their leader like that?] Colin asked
[Leader? More like slave master. The house of pride only accepts true demons as part of their house, every other races are servants and slaves. They are bound by contract and can't disobey his commands, and as you may have guessed, don't like him very much.] Bartus explained and Colin thought for a second
[Those tier 5s are going to be a problem, I'm gonna need you to take care of one of them. You alright with that?] Colin asked
[Its fine, I've been itching to test out my [Curse Affinity] for a while now. I'll take the Oni.] Bartus replied
[Lily, can you take the succubus and I'll take the true demon and orc guy?] Colin asked
[...Fine.] She replied, in a rather monotone voice. Colin sighed, but there was nothing he could do for her for now and the only thing he can do was focus on the battle to come. Even with the tier 5s covered, the amount tier 4s in Askalad's army still surpassed the amount he had in both numbers and possibly experience as well.
"...but rejoice, ignorant child, I have come to give you another chance to redeem yourself. Hand over your subordinates and bow to me, and I will forgive you of your sins." Askalad said while looking down on Colin with an arrogant smile
'Oh, it looks like he's done.' Colin thought
"You sure talk a lot don't you? You have spoken very highly of the house of pride, but you have yet to prove to me just how great your family is." Colin said and both Askalad and the two demon nobles that accompanied him were instantly enraged
"You arrogant little bastard, you still haven't realized how glorious the house of pride is even after Sir Askalad explained it so perfectly. Are you stupid or something?" One of demon nobles said and Colin glared at her, causing her to move back a bit. Colin flew outside of the [Chaos Territory] and stopped a few inches away from Askalad.
"I am not a very patient man and you have already wasted enough of my time as is. So, are you going to fight me are not?" Colin asked, while glaring at Askalad
"You really are an arrogant little demon, do you really think you are worthy of battling me? Very well, I'll teach you a lesson then, Skorn, come here now." Askalad shouted and the tier 5 orc that was leaning on a screen walked over with a scowl on his face.
'This coward.' Colin thought as he realized Askalad's intention.
"He will be your opponent." Askalad said and Skorn snorted before a battle axe appeared in his hand.
