Chapter 318: Let the meeting begin.
The time had come...
How can I describe this moment? It was just... chilling to think about everything that had happened over the span of ten years... It was as if the Elven prophecy was true, a World where the Flame of Chaos would guide them... it almost sounded funny in the end...
The Two Most Dangerous Beings in this world right now, besides being together, were the ones who bore the strongest flames in the world...
It was time to talk, it was time for all those powerful beings to meet in the most rustic way possible... It was no longer about the Demonic Invasion... It was about Power.
Their strengths would be exposed, so Dante chose not to hide this time... He could do whatever he wanted, even hide, but that was not and could not be the way. He was a Conqueror; even Lilith had said so, this was his path, so... It was time to be that person, fully.
"Three Portals..." Dante murmured, "I ask that each one enters individually with their own companion, each portal leads to one side of the Round Table of Rulers, enter individually so our announcer can declare your arrival." The Elf said while bowing, and Dante could see how tense this man was...
"I understand." Dante murmured... "So, when everyone arrives, let me know... The best always comes last." Dante said, smiling, "As you wish, Demon Lord." The Elf bowed.
"Now... We wait." Dante said.
...
"I wondered how he would appear here." Inside the Portal, there were already some people waiting...
"I think it's safe to say he'll want to make a grand entrance." Aewyn said to her daughter, Elowyn, who was seated at the Round Table.
"Knowing how he's such an extravagant Playboy, that's probably exactly what's going to happen..." Elowyn said, recalling that day... When a single man defeated all the main heirs of the rulers...
'Terrifying...'
As the Elf Queen conversed, on the other side of the table...
"I want to go home..." Clovis murmured to his father; he didn't really want to be there... Sure, he wanted to see Dante, but... Still, he wanted to work on something! He was excited to forge!
"Calm your ass down, we have real work to do here." Baskev said, almost giving Clovis a smack on the head.
It seemed everything was leading to something big...
"The King of All Vampires, Vlad Dracula Tepes, and his Companion, Rose Seusther." An elf maid announced as a red-tinged portal opened before her...
"Seems like we're early." Rose said as she noticed there were only a few people there... Besides the Maids on each side of the table for each Ruler, there were only the Dwarf King and the Elf Queen.
'Damn bloodsucker...' Velkan thought, but before he could say anything to the Vampire King...
"Recently conquered, from Borealis – King Thoren Vingard and his companion, Merion Vingard." The maid said, quickly catching everyone's attention to the portal...
From there, two people emerged. One was a common King; he even looked like a great king, but... his aura wasn't as strong as Vlad could estimate. However, his gaze said a lot about him, his gray hair and the wolf fur cloak spoke volumes about him, which, honestly, made Vlad chuckle a bit at how disrespectful he could be...
As for the woman, she was indeed beautiful, with long red hair and a black bear skin on her back, eyes blue as ponds, but as cold as snow... Well, Borealis was a cold continent, so it made some sense.
They looked around before heading to their seats... The first thing he said was: "This world is warm." He commented, looking at Vlad, who nodded, greeting him. "It will be a great meeting, apparently." Merion softly commented.
"If only you knew what's about to happen, fufufufu." Akemi laughed from a distance. "What do you mean by that?" Merion questioned, curious. "Just wait for the protagonist to arrive, you'll understand," she replied mischievously.
Merion looked at her, raising an eyebrow; she didn't like mysteries, but... she didn't have time for that...
"From Dynara – the Queen of the Vulcan, Elara Vulcanis, and her daughter, Inara Vulcanis." Two women who looked like Valkyries appeared, both wearing light leather armor mixed with... Wyvern scales... They were clearly sizing everyone up. They were basically very strong warriors, with orange hair like the sunset, and Titania looked at them... with a curious gaze... "Monster Tamers..." She murmured.
"It's nice to meet you. Supernatural Beings." Elara said, mainly looking at Velkan; it seemed like he was prey in front of her, but... that was just in her eyes... "Don't stare too much, he bites." Vlad joked. The woman gave a small smile as she sat in her chair. "This will be fun," she commented.
Time was passing quickly, and again, another announcement:
"From Zephyra, the Hero King Lyan Solis and his son, Saron Solis." As they passed through the gate, everyone, without exception, immediately looked at him... 'Temperance.' Vlad said, seeing the man in front of him; just his presence alone was a danger... Holy Power was something difficult to deal with.
"Oh, don't look at me like that, okay? I just exist, so holy energy follows me; I can't control it to not cause discomfort, believe me, I tried," he said smiling, but honestly, something that caught everyone by surprise... except Vlad, who was the one responsible for keeping the world united with this council... the others didn't know these three...
"Sorry for being late!" Suddenly, a clumsy voice, it was... the Director of Kryoris... "Hi, old man!" Akemi said, waving... "Geez, you got even bigger!" He exclaimed, seeing Akemi's indecent curves... "Who are you trying to impress?" He questioned, looking at the cleavage and exposed parts of the dress...
Everyone looked at him in disbelief at the question...
"Dante." She responded, and everyone widened their eyes. "I see."
'HOW CAN YOU JUST SAY YOU UNDERSTAND?!' It was what everyone wanted to ask...
"Looks like she has arrived," Vlad said, breaking the atmosphere; he already felt the devastating energy approaching... 'The little girl is even stronger since the last time I saw her...' He thought...
Unlike the common presentation of the others... maybe... just maybe... the maids have their preferences...
"Entering, the two women who were once rivals but now stand side by side... Those who fight to see who is the strongest. Siren Sirius Stela, the Werewolf Queen, and Valentina Scarlet, the God Slayer."
