Devil Emperor

Chapter 2 - Crom Cruach and Preparations for Campaign

Mornings were always the same. From the time, Zarathul finished assimilating Anti-Magic and Power of Destruction in his body and being together with Esdeath and Kuroka was always the same thing. He laid in his huge bad with Kuroka and Esdeath both of them being n.a.k.e.d as they hugged his arms and using them as a pillow. Not that Zarathul was complaining about it.

"Esdeath, Kuroka wake up."

Said Zarathul as he tried to wake both of them up. Esdeath woke up pretty easily as she was used to getting up early as a soldier, but Kuroka was a different story. She liked sleep long and hated morning, probably like any other cat.

"Sleep, nya, nya, more sleep, nya."

Murmured Kuroka in her sleep as she ignored Zarathul's futile attempts to wake her up. Thus, both of them just woke up and left Kuroka sleeping there. Together with Esdeath, they left the bedroom and went to have breakfast.

Zekram was already waiting there, as servants were bringing various kinds of food for them.

"Father-in-law, good morning."

Greeted Esdeath with a smile to which Zekram nodded his head. All three of them sat down for breakfast and started eating. On the table, were various kinds of food, all of them made by best chefs available through the Underworld.

"So, daughter-in-law I heard many good things about you lately as you managed to reclaim territories and expand Bael Territory significantly. Also, how is the training of Bael Army progressing?"

Hearing these compliments, Esdeath's cheeks reddened when she heard the name, daughter-in-law and then she straightened herself to answer the question about the military. Despite being rather young, she was very dutiful when it came to military affairs.

"Very good. I have intensified training several times, focusing both on magical abilities and also physical body. We devils have a great advantage in the physical body over many races, but the only thing we are training is our magic and nothing else. Now the level of an ordinary soldier, in general, is around 2-Tier Middle-Class, while the strength of Elites of the army, especially those from Bael Clan or those from Lesser Housecarls, is around 3rd-Tier High-Class to 1st-Tier High-Class. I have also, started recruiting from Low-Class Devils with enough potential across the whole Bael Territory, and many of them are already showing very good results."

Said Esdeath with a hint of pride hidden in her words. When she took the post of General of Bael Armies, they started blooming and becoming stronger month by month.

"Very good daughter-in-law. In truth, I have a mission for you, both of you to be precise. Take soldiers and go clear the territory of already extinct Valefor Clan. I got information that their territory is nowadays full of Stray Fallen Angels and Stray Devils, so this could be a good exercise for you and for Army as we need to prepare for upcoming fights. And also, take Sairaorg with you. Lately, many people are talking about him excelling in the Rating Games, even though it is nothing just funny game, he has good power. This would be a good opportunity to temper himself with fire and blood."

Said Zekram as he looked at Zarathul and Esdeath. Both of them were happy that they got the mission and that it was cleaning of the territory of already extinct Valefor Clan was just bonus. Valefor Clan territory was not far from the Bael Territory, now that the Bael territory has expanded.

"Father, how many of strays are there?"

"We don't know exact numbers, but Valefor territory has been a safe house for various strays for a very long time. Before, we couldn't send their troops to clear it and reclaim it as it is separated from closest devil territory, Bael territory, those two territories that Esdeath conquered. Thanks to that, there is a big number, approximately around 25,000 Strays across the several factions. To be precise, there are several thousand stray devils, more than 7,000 fallen angels, then apparently some stray grim reapers and creatures from various mythologies. Then there are various monsters like goblins and kobolds, numbering around 10,000. Fortunately for us, they are not centered and only have various villages and smaller cities."

Former Valefor territory was always base for strays that managed to escape from devil territories or rogue fallen angels. Over the years, even more, and more species that left their home territories came there, and they were a headache for devils for a long time.

Both Zarathul and Esdeath nodded their heads in agreement as this would be a very important mission for them. If they managed to conquer former Valefor territory, not only they would be able to expand devil territory, but also annihilate a huge number of devils strays and rogue fallen angels. This would lessen problems that they might face in the future and also, could weaken fallen angels and lessen their numbers. Even though they went rogue, they were fallen angels nevertheless and could still perhaps once return to Grigori under special circ.u.mstances.

It was a time of war, and that meant, many of Low-Class Devils and Middle-Class Devil and Reincarnated Devils would be able to improve their status if they performed well in the upcoming war. Zarathul also knew reasons why his father wanted for him to take Sairaorg with him, as this would be a perfect opportunity in fighting in a real Life and Death battles.

"Oh, here is here already."

Said Zekram after he felt that something crossed through the barrier that was enveloping the whole Bael Castle. He showed a faint smile over his face and then looked at his son, with bit worry in his eyes.

"Crom Cruach is here. We should be coming to see him."

Said Zekram as all three of them stood up and went to the courtyard, above which someone was already waiting for them.

=============================================

Crom Cruach really looked intimidating in his dragon form. Too dominating and that aura he was radiating, was forcing everyone who was weak on his knees. Fortunately, all devils in this castle were at least, 3rd-Tier High-Class so they were able to resist that leftover aura for a bit, before Zekram together with Zarathul and Esdeath arrived. Only then Crom Cruach stopped releasing that intimidating dragon aura and started shapeshifting.

In his human form, Crom Cruach has the appearance of a tall handsome man wearing a black coat with a long mixture of black and blond hairs as well as heterochromatic eyes where his right eye is gold and his left eye is black and he has pointed ears.

"You have come earlier than expected."

Said Zekram to Crom Cruach who had an indifferent expression on his face as he looked at Zarathul who was standing beside his father and looked back at Crom Cruach.

"Come, kid, we are going to fight. If you are really that good as that weirdo Rizevim said, then I will join your peerage."

Said Crom Cruach as he looked at Zarathul with a calm yet amused expression. One must know that Zarathul was only at the Ultimate-Class, while Crom Cruach could be almost considered as Heavenly Dragon-Class. He was currently, Dragon King-Class of Pinnacle, only one little push in his magical abilities and body strength would make him another Heavenly Dragon, and with enough time his strength would be comparable if not higher than that of Ddraig or Albion.

"It would be my honor, Mr. Crom Cruach."

Said Zarathul as he took out the Gáe Bolg from the dimensional storage and stood in a battle stance as he held the crimson red spear in both of his hands. Crom Cruach's eye twitched a bit when he saw that spear, but he still stood there, like nothing happened at all and just watched little devil kid with great interest.

In a meanwhile, both Zekram and Esdeath already retreated and created many barriers and bounded field around the place where they were fighting because they couldn't fight in the castle, they teleported to the plain, several tens of kilometers away from the castle.

Suddenly, Zarathul disappeared from the place where he was standing and when he appeared he was already before indifferent Crom Cruach slashing at his with his Gáe Bolg, trying to pierce his heart. Zarathul knew that the disparity between them was too huge and he could not hold back even bit of his strength, so he started fighting at full power from the start. As the Gáe Bolg was nearing Crom Cruach, he just dodged like nothing happened and looked at Zarathul with a smile on his face.

'Hmm... that kid is good, that attack would be able to instantly kill anything below Ultimate-Class in one hit. And he still didn't use his Power of Destruction, only that special ability of Gáe Bolg, sadly for someone who knows about it, its useless.'

Said Crom Cruach to himself as he looked at Zarathul, who was already enveloped in the aura of Power of Destruction. Now the real fun would start, and Crom Cruach showed wide grin, seeing tens of portals appearing, created from Power of Destruction as weapons from Power of Destruction that were in aiming at him.

"This is going to be fun!"

Yelled Crom Cruach as he heard another voice.

"Gate of Babylon!"

And tens of weapons of various forms, conjured from pure Power of Destruction shot at him with lightning speed to which Crom Cruach was forced to invoke several magic shields to protect himself. Even though he was far stronger than Zarathul, if he was hit with those weapons at once, even he would be injured. Power of Destruction was deserved to be considered as strongest devil bloodline power.

As he was resisting the countless weapons created from Power of Destruction, Zarathul was preparing next move. In truth, with his power as Dragon King, almost nearing Heavenly Dragon, he could end the match even now, but he wanted to see the extent of Zarathul's power, how far it can go.

Zarathul stretched his hand in the air, pointing at Crom Cruach with his right hand, as several smaller gray magical circles were circulating around his right arm. That was the moment when Crom Cruach sensed that something was wrong, but it was late.

"Gram Demolition!"

Yelled Zarathul, as magic energy from his hand hit the magic shields protecting Crom Cruach and in a split of a second, they exploded like fireworks, creating a huge shockwave, and even sending Zarathul flying several tens of meters back. When the dust settled, one could see there Crom Cruach unharmed standing there, but his right hand was bleeding as it was hit by one weapon conjured from Power of Destruction.

Zarathul was barely standing as he was using his spear Gáe Bolg to help him stand. Then Crom Cruach came here and helped him to stand as the shockwave from the explosion was too much for Ultimate-Class to handle. Even though Zarathul was 2nd-Tier Ultimate-Class, those magic shields that Crom Cruach created were filled with his magical energy and dragon energy of Pinnacle Dragon King powerhouse. If Zarathul had been weaker, such an explosion could have killed him like an ant.

"It was good fight kiddo. Even though short, you have managed to make me bleed and your potential is good. I have never thought to see once again the Anti-Magic ability of Lucifer Family. Come I will help you to walk to infantry."

Said Crom Cruach as he helped Zarathul walking and together they went tot he place where Zekram and Esdeath were waiting from them. When they arrived there, Zekram sighed in relief that his son was mostly fine, only some injuries but that was nothing, cause it would be healed quickly thanks to his strong body and regeneration. Esdeath quickly rushed to him, with small tears forming in the ends of her eyes, when she saw her beloved in such sorry state. Still, she knew that it was a miracle that he survived. Crom Cruach must have held back too much, because if not Zarathul might not be able to walk alive from the spar.

"So what you say, Mr. Dragon about the proposition?"

Asked Zarathul with a faint smile as he looked at Crom Cruach.

"You know I won't become devil, the ritual would be performed by a special method, so I would remain pure Dragon. And till the day you are stronger than me, you cannon order me as you like. Till that day, it would depend on my mood."

Zarathul nodded his head in agreement as they were pretty good condition. Powerhouses such as Crom Cruach were impossible to recruit into peerage as they were too powerful, and even when they were recruited they won't be reincarnated as devils, but rather a special method would be used to make them members of peerage without reincarnating them as devils. If it was someone with Longinus such as Divine Dividing or Boosted Gear, that were made of Souls of Heavenly Dragons it would be able such person to reincarnate, because he was the bearer of the only soul of a powerhouse, not the body.

=============================================

After they returned to the castle, Crom Cruach became 'member' of Zarathul's peerage and then he disappeared again to god knows where. He said that he had some things to take care of, so he went away, but he told him he would return for the military expedition to the Valefor territory.

One week later, Zarathul was still laying in his bed, as he already finished recuperating from his injuries as Esdeath or Kuroka were taking care of him. Now that the military expedition was announced and they would depart tomorrow. They would be going through the Bael Castle to reconnect with another half of army and to pick up another one that would be joining the expedition, his own family Sairaorg Bael.

"How are the preparations going Esdeath? Are our armies prepared for the expedition?"

Asked Zarathul as he saw Esdeath entering his room with some papers in her hands. Probably the preparation for the expedition is done and she came here to tell him the results.

"All together we have prepared around 20,000 soldiers, who were trained by me personally. My personal army numbering 5,000 would be leading the fight. Other 15,000 soldiers came from other Bael armies, that undergo changes not long ago, so their combat prowess is not that high. In-state of soldiers, my elites are mainly 3rd-Tier High-Class in terms of strength, while the rest of soldiers is around 3rd-Tier Middle-Class to 1st-Tier Middle-Class. From all Devils with the strength of High-Class, only several hundred have the strength of 2nd-Tier and 1st-Tier and three of all Devils have 3rd-Tier Ultimate-Class power."

These levels of power weren't bad, but they were far from the standard that Devils should have. In times of original Lucifer, every devil had a strength of High-Class. They had fallen too much, but fortunately, there was still time to change it.

"For now it would be enough, I only hope there won't be any Cadre-Class Fallen Angels because their number there is too high, there is something fishy going on, but so be it. Combined with my Power of Destruction, Anti-Magic and Light Resistance, coupled with Gáe Bolg I should be able to fight evenly 3rd-Tier Satan-Class, which is comparable to the 3rd-Tier Cadre-Class Fallen Angels. Only if they don't too strong light, then I would be doomed."

Zarathul's innate ability from his mother's side was Light Resistance, but sadly only to some extent. Meaning he was able to ignore all light that was weaker than him by some amount. For example, as Ultimate-Class he was able to totally ignore Light of Low-Class Angels and Middle-Class Angels and defend against Light of High-Class Angels to a good extent.

"Darling, Kuroka said she would be also participating int he expedition? Why does that lazy cat want to come with us? She will be taking you from me!"

Said Esdeath with the mild blush on her cheeks and she cutely complained about her fellow peerage member. She and Kuroka didn't get along well, because of their different personalities as Kuroka was a typical cat, lazy and wanted sleep or mate. Ont the other hand, Esdeath was always doing something like training army and leading soldiers.

"You don't know? Zekram Bael and Elder Council made deal with Nekoshou and Nekomatas that were living in the Underworld. They were practically kicked out of the Youkai territory to the Underworld and after that fiasco with her former master, many things changed in reincarnating devils and all. Great King Faction made a proposition to Nekomatas living in the Underworld to become part of the Devils. They would obtain some chairs in Elder Council and would be treated as Devils. In exchange, they would teach devils senjutsu and Touki, at least to those who had the talent it in. This would strengthen our race, as we would obtain more powerful people as Nekomatas and especially Nekoshous are pretty strong and have good potential. Even now they have several Ultimate-Class Nekomatas and Nekoshou, sadly they are lacking someone in the Satan-Class. Now that Kuroka is part of my peerage, all nekomatas and nekoshou would become part of Bael Clan people. Also, they have huge usage in the military as they would do for perfect scounts and assassins."

Explained Zarathul about reasons why even usually lazy cat, was now seriously participating in something, compared to her daily schedule which was sleep, watching tv and mate with Zarathul in order to produce super-strong devil kittens.

"I would never anticipate that those arrogant devils would accept someone as their equal. Hmm, times are really changing. The Conjunction of Spheres must have frightened them to points many of them voluntarily embraced changed made in Underworld... truly fascinating."

Exclaimed Esdeath as she looked surprised hearing Zarathul's words.

"We don't have a choice and even those old grumpy men in Elder Council are seeing this after my father made it clear. Our race is on its way to the Abyss. Straight away to the extinction. First was the Great War, which took too many of us, and then that Civil War. We are vulnerable and with the creation of Evil Pieces we have made too many enemies in other Pantheons, so we have only two choices. First one is to stick with our old ways and perish. The second one is to accept the new age and become stronger. That is the reasons why those Reincarnation Laws were accepted and why many changes were done. Even here in the Underworld, Devil Race is now a juicy piece of meat in front of many enemies. Fallen Angels, Hades and Grim Reapers who can't wait to start annihilation war against us, Osiris from Egyptian Pantheon, and various others such as Oni Tribes in the east and countless monster races all around the Underworld."

Esdeath's perked up when she heard how many enemies there were. Especially when she heard mentioning of the Oni Tribes as they were a pure-warrior race.

"I have heard of Oni Tribes. They are similar to Devils, just instead of wings they have horns on their forehead and they are all very talented in close combat and have terrifyingly strong physical bodies. They are also a warrior race with Satan-Class leader."

What Esdeath said was the truth, Oni Tribes were very strong ones. Like Devils who excelled in magic, Oni excelled in body strength and all of them were extremely strong close combatants. In reality, Oni Tribes weren't enemies with Devil Race, instead, they were allies for long ago. Nowadays they were negotiations going on, to fuse Oni Tribes with Devils as practically all of them were very similar. Also, they would balance out the Devils who were mainly focusing on magic.

"You know, my father is negotiating with their leader Yamamoto Zenko about them joining the Devil Sphere of influence. Soon, enough when our territory would be expanded enough, we would create a centralized state, because our current model of government when everybody is doing practically what he wants is very ineffective and bad for the future development. When the Conjunction of Spheres begins, we need to be united enough to fight against all enemies, not just those from another side of Dimensional Path. Restoring the glory of from times of original Four Great Satans is the goal we are trying to achieve."

Esdeath nodded her head in agreement as she knew to mean behind those words. For Oni Tribes to join Devils in creating future centralized state was a good opportunity as they would practically obtain a good position from the start and also, Devils had several Super Devils, top powerhouses in the world, while Oni Tribes only had one Satan-Class and some twenty or so, Ultimate-Classes. Similar thing with Nekomatas, they were even weaker than Oni Tribes, but joining now would be better for their future position in the future devil nation. It was also a thing of view. Albeit devils were arrogant creatures, they would be able to learn how to see Nekomatas/Nekoshou and Oni as one of them if they joined now and would focus their arrogance to outsiders of the nation. Another thing was that devils innately respected strong ones, and Oni Tribe was very strong as they were better in terms of quality of warriors, compared to Devil Race, despite their smaller population and lack of powerhouses. Nekomatas and Nekoshou were same, they lacked powerhouses and their population was small, but they were individually strong, even weakest was comparable to Middle-Class Devil in terms of strength.

"Conjunction of Spheres would be great trial not for just us, but for all factions. What will happen, would be the apocalypse for humans, as they would be hit hardest and there is even high probability that they would be pushed on brink of extinction as they are weakest of all races through the Earth. During the Conjuntion of Spheres, even strong Pantheons could perish, if the enemy is too strong."

Exclaimed Zarathul. The Conjunction of Spheres would hit even Earth, not just Underworld or Dimensional Worlds of various Pantheons such as Asgard or Takamagahara. It was called Age of Gods, precisely for that reason, when the dimensional paths connected the Gods would descend once more and walk through mortals once again.

"So I suppose when it will hit humans, Gods would descend to Earth to obtain more worshippers and protect humans. They would obtain more Faith Power, which would strengthen them significantly and make their Pantheons stronger. And we Devils would obtain many talented people to be reincarnated as devils and a large number negative energy to be refined as special resources to increase Demonic Powers of devils."

To devils, it didn't really matter if humans perished or not. Even though they were species with potential, they were too weak and were a non-magical race. The only thing they are good for is that they are able to generate a huge amount of Negative Energy created from negative feelings, which is used to refine as special crystal, that is able to increase Demonic Energy of Devil. That was mainly used by High-Class Devils to increase Demonic Powers of newly reincarnated devils.

Every living and sentient being, not mattering if intelligent or not, was able to generate negative energy through feelings of despair, hatred, fear and so on and largest amount of it was generated through death. This Negative Energy could be harvested by devils and through specialized method crystallized and then absorbed to increase Demonic Powers. These things were introduced shortly after implementation of Reincarnation Laws that improved the standing of Reincarnated Devil by a good deal.

All these things we're able to increase Demonic Powers of Reincarnated Devil to the standard of Middle-Class Pure-Blooded Devil, thus many of Reincarnated Devils were able to become 'true devils' in every sense. Negative Energy Crystals were also very popular among the Pillar Devils, as they were quickly able to increase the strength of their servants if the servant was formerly human or had a low amount of Demonic Powers.

"If I have a big amount of Negative Energy Crystals at my disposition I would be able to increase the strength of my army by a good deal."

Commented Esdeath as she looked as Zarathul with her special looked named: "Darling I want it!". Zarathul only smiled seeing this and made mental note to go to Ajuka and ask him for some Negative Energy Crystals, he would be able to get a good reward from Esdeath... cough... night...

"Come Esdeath, we should be going now. We need to reach the Bael Castle as soon as possible to reconnect with the rest of our soldiers and Kuroka who is already there preparing her Nekoshou and Nakomatas."

=============================================

"Lord Zarathul, General Esdeath. Welcome to Bael Castle. All soldiers are already waiting for your command. Armies are prepared for march and supplies to have been loaded, even those 'gifts' from Technology Depratnemnt arrived and are prepared for a fight."

A middle-aged man greeted both of them, sharing some similarities with his father Zekram. He looked at his fifties, bit older than Zekram, despise being far younger and had sharp gaze in his eyes. Despite being current Great King of Bael, in terms of status, he was equal to Zarathul who was the son of the First Great King. In terms of strength, he was even weaker than Zarathul, around the level of 3rd-Tier Ultimate-Class.

"Greeting Lord Bael. Thank you for helping Kuroka and her people accommodate themselves before the war. Has Sairaorg arrived already? We need to leave as quickly as possible, the schedule is tight."

When Lord Bael heard him mentioning the name of his son, his face changed a bit as his relationship with his son was far from good. When his son was born without Power of Destruction he completely despised his elder son as a defect, scorning him as the shame of the Bael clan. Lord Bael was a person, who hardly was able to take on the changes that were going in the Underworld and when he saw that his son was able to become the strongest devil of the younger generation even without the Power of Destruction was shocking for him.

When Zarathul fist met Lord Bael, he actually fought against him. The reason was simple, he wanted to prove him that the Power of Destruction was not omnipotent, his father Zekram Bael said it himself too. He was able to defeat him with his Gáe Bolg and magic combined. Maybe this changed something inside of him, the question was if it wasn't already too late.

After exchanging greetings, Zarathul together with Esdeath went to the garden, where they sat down and were drinking green tea, that servants brewed for them. This tea was special and rarf exclusivity that only Zekram Bael uses to drink.

After a short time of waiting, a person who was Zarathul awaiting finally came. Sairaorg is a handsome young man with black hair and violet eyes. He is very tall and has a muscular build due to the extreme training he has done. His height is 194cm, thus being taller than Zarathul. Together with him, came his Queen too, Kuisha Abaddon. Kuisha was a very beautiful girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes.

"Come, come here and sit down."

As he gestured both of them sat down. Kuisha met Zarathul for the first time, now and she was pretty nervous because she knew who he was and whop he represented. On the other hand, Sairaorg met Zarathul pretty often as he could be counted as Zarathul's only friend, besides Vali. His father called all of them, Battle-Maniac Trio.

"Sairaorg, you probably already knew my Queen and fianceé Esdeath. And this must be your Queen Lady Kuisha of House Abaddon, it's my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, my Lady."

Said Zarathul as he bowed in a gentlemanly bow. After greetings, all of them sat down so Zarathul could explain things about what brings him here.

"Zarathul why you came here? If I remember correctly, you would never come here, only once a month when we are having sparring season, but today is different, what happened?"

Asked Sairaorg with curiosity as Zarathul practically was never leaving the castle where first Bael was living, only on a special occasion, and Sairaorg new Zarathul good enough to see that this was a very special occasion.

"Yes, as you may have noticed that the Bael Clan armies would be soon marching to the Valefor territory to clean it out from stray devil, rogue Fallen Angels, and other unwanted guests and reclaim the territory for devil race. My father, First Great King told me to take you to war, so you could experience how the real fight on the verge of Life and Death is, not those simulated stupid chesspieces."

Both Sairaorg and Kuisha were taken aback by a sudden revelation. Especially Sairaorg as he knew what this represented. War was the best opportunity to make merits and also, experience real fights instead of simulated Rating Games.

"I see you are pretty surprised. Pack up quickly, we would be leaving today, we need to reach the Valefor territory by next three days, so take you peerage and Esdeath would give you orders. Let me give you a piece of small advice. This is going to be a real battle, with thousands of fallen angels on the enemy side, so be extremely careful, because death is everywhere on the battlefield. This is not some Rating Game, where you would be protected against deathly attacks, and always aim to kill."

Said Zarathul to both of them. None of the younger devils experiencer real battles that were not Rating Games. Only a small minority of them, who were from affiliated houses to Bael Clan and joined the military was giving this opportunity to see how real battle looked like.

Esdeath just looked at them a bit, before thinking about where she should send them.

"Take your peerage and report yourself to Commander Veran, he is Ultimate-Class Devil in charge of Vanguard. You would get basic equipment to defend against light attacks of fallen angels, but beware of the fact, that equipment is not that strong as it is just prototype newly created by the Research Department."

Said Esdeath causally as she returned her attention to hugging one of Zarathul's arms. After that, Sairaorg left together with his Queen and went to gather their peerage.

=============================================

After Sairaorg and Kuisha left to gather rest of the peerage, Kuisha couldn't help to wonder her master's anticipation of war.

"Master Sairaorg is a really good idea to participate in war? Lord Zarathul said there would be thousands of rogue fallen angels and stray devils, besides other monsters and creatures."

Asked Kuisha nervously as she looked at her King, following behind him.

"Do you know that fighting in the war, is the fastest method for the devil to acc.u.mulate merits and prove his strength? One of the reasons, why those who only fought in Rating Games and even though they became High-Class devils in terms of status won't be respected in precisely this. Those who achieved nobility through war merits and Rating Game are different dimensions entirely. If we are able to perform good and acc.u.mulate merits, you could practically ask for anything from Devil Council or even change many things."

Answered Sairaorg to her question. His dream to create an Underworld where any Devils regardless of their background can make their dream come true was something that could be achieved very hard, but he didn't give up and wanted to realize it.

"Especially now, as this is practically mission issued by First Great King. He is a person who is in the practical ruler of the Underworld. My dreams can be realized only if I have the support of those old men and now many of Low-Class devils would have a chance to improve their standing in society and also, to prove themselves. Underworld is slowly changing and Zarathul knows the reasons why, though I personally don't have a clue. Think about it, for the last two centuries, things like Reincarnation Laws were implemented and many changes were made in our society, rather contradictory to ways of old devils. Maybe I would be obtained reason, why are all those old devils like on needles for a long time already."

Kuisha nodded her head as she looked at Sairaorg who kept walking forward.

"Kuisha tells everyone to be extremely careful, this is going to be a real battlefield with countless fallen angels fighting and light weapons, very dangerous for every devil around. This is not the Rating Game, where you are protected from death. Also, we are going to the regions that are far from devil main territory, so it is highly possible that we would encounter even soldiers of the Old Satan Faction. I heard rumors that those territories far from the main territory of devil race are just swarming with members of Old Satan Faction."

Said Sairaorg as Kuisha held her breath. Old Satan Faction was known as a notorious terrorist through whole Underworld.
