Dairadel was sitted on his throne, his throne room was dark, the only thing lighting up the place were the candles at the side of the dark throne room. Dairadel on the other hand was sitted with his legs crossed as his head was tilted, resting on his knuckles "It's about damn time we settled this.", he said to himself. Moments later, Alex, Astavel, Bellika and the rest of the devil killer soldiers were standing before him. The soldiers stood firmly before they're king, some kneeling. Alex stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly accessing the situation "Looks like everyone's gotten serious now.", he thought with a head tilt. Bellika stood firm, her left hand wearing a gear, Astavel stood firm as well too "Dad, he seems serious. I wonder what he's planning.", she could not erase the thought of what her father was thinking about. Dairadel explained "Tonight, we strike against Demon Lord Xalvagon.", Astavel's eyes widened in shock while Bellika and the rest of the subordinates still assumed their positions. Astavel asked "Dad? What are you saying?". Dairadel elaborated "This war between the country of Rebellion and the Demon Lord has gone on for way too long now. And plus, I've received information that Xalvagon is making preparations to invade.", Bellika then asked "Okay. So now that we're invading, is there some kind of plan? Or are we just going to charge forward?". Dairadel kept quiet for a moment, he uncrossed his legs before leaning forward "I plan on it to be an all out war, but I'm very mindfull of Xalvagon. He has a lot of power at his disposal, so it will be easy for him to perform powerfull tactics against us.", Dairadel continued to talk "First of all, he has access to creating powerfull hydra. Some of the hydra's he can create have enough power to manipulate the laws of nature, while some depend more on their huge tanks of energy.". He raised up a finger "If he wanted to attack, he'd try to divide our attention by sending an army of them here, while attacking the country of Rebellion. And if that's the case, fighting would be hard considering the fact I'm not at full strength.". Astavel seemed confused at the moment "Bu- But, we have hero Starion here.", she said, Alex dryly replied "Don't just call me by my surname like that.". Dairadel took a short sigh "Yeah, we have our hero here to help us, but that wouldn't erase the fact that Xalvagon has the power advantage. Not to talk of the other allies that he has left.". Alex raised a brow "Other allies?", he thought. Dairadel's cold expression didn't change at all, as if reading Alex's mind, he explained "Yes. He has two other allies, both of them are somewhat as strong as I am. One is Thelmalot, the Devil child of stone and battle. She has the ability to level entire battlefields easily with a wave of her sword. Before Astavel and Bellika were born, your mother had a devastating fight with her, it lasted for three weeks.", Astavel seemed shocked while Bellika too seemed surprised but on a dryer note. "HUH?!", Astavel exclaimed, Bellika didn't seem too surprised on paper, but was terrified In her mind "A battle for three weeks? At least mom didn't die in that battle before I was born.", she thought. Alex too seemed dry, but almost uncomfortable "I just sensed the air in the room shift. But seriously, three weeks of pure fighting is a lot.". Alex then asked "So? Who's the second one?", Dairadel explained "The second ally at Xalvagon's disposal is Dremalock!", Alex seemed even more annoyed "Dremalock?". Dairadel decided to explain further "Dremalock is the titan of swords and battle who is about a eight hundred meters tall, there is no sword technique in all of creation he doesn't know, not to mention that he was the one who trained the devil children.". Alex seemed to become strategic in his thinking, his arms were folded while he was in this serious state "So there was Medusayuki, Nerevion, Zailvred and Grai. Each one of them were just as strong as an B or A-ranker by my worlds standards.", he started to recalibrate on the fights he had so far "Based on the battles i had against them, they were all terrifying and dangerous. And since the level of strength I can produce in this game is limited, thanks to Shenragon's stupid rules, fighting from here on out would be a problem.". Shenragon, in the inner chambers of Alex's mind thought to himself "Calling me stupid, huh? Let's see who would give you the extra strength when you need it.". Alex continued to think "If those guys were capable of giving me the fight of a life time, that means the likes of Thelmalot and Dremalock would nearly kill me if I were to fight at base.". Alex asked a question "Excuse me, King Dairadel. How strong are Thelmalot and Dairadel compared to you?", Dairadel replied "If you're talking about me at full strength, Thelmalot should be able to give me a few deep scratches. As for Dremalock, he would pose a challenge against me.", Alex's eyes narrowed "I knew it, they are trouble. And as for the hydra's.....". Alex started to think of the hydra he fought a day or two days ago "I was able to use the first stage of my Demon Inferior form to fight it, meaning that one of those powerfull hydra's should be A-rank in terms of power. And since there are going to be thousands of them, this would be a problem.". Alex looked even more serious "At this rate, everyone except me is going to die.". Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard "Talking about your strategy without me is a bit heart breaking. Don't you think, dear?", Dairadel's head stood straight "I was going to give you the details of the plan sooner, but since you're here, it's fine.". The woman who had walked in seemed to be wearing gears on her arms and legs, all yellow and black In colour that was similar to the armour Astavel had worn before. Not just that, she had long black hair and had a nicely curved body shape "Well, I'm here now, so I'll listen.", she said. The name of this lady was Saturna(Wife to Dairadel. Queen of Rebellion, and the mother to Astavel and Bellika). Astavel and Bellika were shocked "MOTHER?", Astavel exclaimed while Bellika was shivering. Alex seemed serious, but still confused "Did they just call her mother?", he thought. Saturna's eyes glanced at the throne room before looking at Alex and asked "Who the hell are you?".
