45 Lets Talk (1/2)
Arima lazed around in the Spirit realm and waited for two days there.
That day, in the human capital, in a special room of the castle, some were gathered together. Most of them were the people Night had selected while the others were those who heard about this strange gathering and invited themselves. Among those, three of them were important figures, one was the Human King, another was the Elven Priestess and the last one was the Demon King, literally.
”The reason I gathered you here is to talk about something” Drannoc talked, seated at table, and everyone turned to look at him. Behind him, Fayla stood silent ”To be exact, I want to talk about someone” The prince said
”Is that about the person who did that to you?” His father, the King, spoke, he looked a bit old with some white hairs ”I heard you were spreading rumors about a certain individual since you came back”
Drannoc nodded ”Yes, like you may have heard already, his name is Arimane Blade, to be honest, I never met him personally” He said
”You never met him?” A tall and burly middle-aged man, with horns and dark pupils, raised his voice. It was the Demon King ”Then why are you talking about him?” He asked
The prince looked at him seriously ”(That man is said to be the strongest individual on this continent)” He said in his mind ”(I didn't expect for him to come)” Drannoc kept a stone face and faced the Demon's eyes ”It's true I didn't meet him in person, but, I met his soul beast” He said
”Oh” The Demon King exclaimed in slight surprise and interest
”What kind of soul beast?” The Elven Priestess asked
Drannoc smiled ”A dragon, a n.o.ble dragon at the late ninth level” He said and everyone in the room fell silent, the other people in the room that were already suppressed by the three huge figures and couldn't even gather the courage to speak were even more pressured ”As a proof, that dragon beat Fayla in a one versus one fight” Drannoc added and pointed his hand at Fayal behind him. The latter nodded and everyone was convinced
”Where did that happen?” The King asked about the biggest wonder he had in his mind
”In the Spirit realm of course” Drannoc answered ”It seems that they were some guest there and we finished by having a clash. It was a that time that the dragon used an odd magic and brought us to a strange place to fight” The prince explained by adding some lies he came up with
”A strange place?” The Demon started pondering ”Is that maybe dimensional magic?” He asked
Drannoc looked at him ”Yes, that's what I was told” He said
The demon grinned ”Interesting, even I can only use that kind of magic for a few minutes at most, but a soul beast alone managed to create a dimension long enough to fight in it. That's impressive” He praised and everyone was shocked by his words. The words of the Demon King carried a lot of weight on this continent ”What's the name of that soul beast?” the Demon asked in curiosity
”He said he had been named as Night Bahamut” Drannoc answered
”Mh, I see” The Demon nodded in satisfaction
”So, why did you gather these people here, does that have anything to do with the reason that soul beast didn't kill you?” The Priestess asked
The prince smiled ”Yes, it is. First thing I need you to know is about what the dragon told me: 'Arima is indeed at level ten, but his full strength is much higher'” He quoted ”So we can imagine that man is otherworldly strong, the reason why I gathered these people here was because he asked that to me, in exchange for my life” He explained
”Gather us?” ”Why?” The people from the original list finally began to panic ”What should we do?” ”We'll just to kill him, let's see if he can survive an army!” They began to speak like that
”Silence!” The King spoke and his aura shut the mouth of all of them, he looked at his son ”What does that mean?” He asked
Drannoc breathed out ”That means I accomplished my job” He said and closed his eyes like he was exhausted. The people in the room were confused by that reaction. But then, a clap resounded in the room, then a second and a third, among the people here, someone was actually clapping.
The three important figures had a drastic change in expression and their eyes expressed disbelief, they turned their heads slowly towards the corner of the room.
There, a man, wearing black clothes, was leisurely clapping while eating a chocolate, and a big wolf was sitting beside him.
Every partic.i.p.ant in the gathering looked bewildered at the scene. Fayla and the Prince raised their head to look at the man who they didn't get the 'chance' to meet while they were in the Spirit realm. The Demon King looked at him and grinned in excitement, the Priestess looked deeply at him like she was trying to see through him and the King was solemnly observing him.
Arima finished his sweet and suddenly raised his hand, except the two who met Night and the three others who didn't fear him, everyone took a step back and used all of their will to not take a second one.
