Demons were a race of creatures that brought a great headache to the rest of the races.
Their vile ways of doing things along with their carefree nature was something many disliked. Add to that, they openly did everything to fulfil their desires.
Demons were supposedly one of the strongest races as per the Grand Lust Sovereign's inheritance and weren't to be trifled with.
It was exactly due to how extreme their cases were that other creatures who may have strayed from their normal moral paths were termed as demonic.
Lith didn't exactly know if this world was going to be hit with a Demon invasion, but he did have some rough clues to such a thing happening.
People wouldn't disappear for no reason so suddenly as Demons weren't so dumb to give out hints openly.
If they had started acting now, then this meant their plans had begun and it wouldn't be too long until a full scale war.
The question now was about whether this world was prepared for such a war or not.
From what Lith could decipher in this small village that was Dushkarbor, people were strong enough, but didn't know the right techniques to use their strength properly.
It was probably because things were peaceful here and the people had barely any need to train.
Lith's assessment upon arriving in this world to think of it being in a peculiar state was correct. If nothing was wrong, then there wouldn't be a summoning like that.
He had done whatever he could in the past one year to improve the people's strength and with a war that had a high possibility of happening, Lith had to put up some extra efforts and prepare.
"Lydia and Idina, prepare a meeting with the highest officials of the kingdom. I have something to discuss. Make sure to have everyone be available in the council complex tomorrow morning. The rest, follow me and do what I say." Lith ordered everybody.
The ladies nodded their heads in understanding and did as Lith asked.
Lith walked out of his house to prepare for the meeting tomorrow and check up on the rest of the people of the kingdom.
He had to assess their strength and weaknesses to formulate a perfect program that could boost their strength in the shortest periods possible.
As there was a tournament going on, strong people from all over the kingdom were here in Dushkarbor to compete, bringing forth a perfect opportunity to do an assessment.
Thus, from afternoon till next day's early morning, Lith busied himself in assessing the people of the Nishkavert Kingdom.
…..
Ornate chandeliers casted a warm glow while the mahogany interiors brought a luxurious tint to a certain throne room far away.
Demons with varied horns, tails, and appearances wearing fancy clothing sat in this throne room.
Their appearances and sizes were really extreme, ranging from the ugliest, shortest to the tallest, most handsome.
A mighty dark throne with shades of blood red rested on top of a big platform. It was currently empty and hence the discussions went on in absence of the ruler.
"I say we proceed as soon as possible." A short demon, appearing like a goblin, said in a rough voice.
"That's not for us to decide." A demon with a goat's head stated. "His Majesty has been away for a while and nothing can be executed without his orders."
"When His Majesty is absent, Lord Nazdek is in command. And I'm sure he approves of this request." A humanoid demon with red eyes said calmly.
As he mentioned that, everyone's attention shifted towards a person at the far end of the room, sitting close to the throne.
It was a handsome blonde-haired demon with a tall figure and sharp black horns, wearing a black suit.
Nazdek, the handsome demon who was the center of attention, calmly stated, "Do not make haste."
The room fell silent from his comment and many frowned in response. They didn't like what they just heard.
Nazdek was an authority and although he had said it indirectly, his words meant that he was against the idea of whatever everyone was discussing in the room.
"Lord, we have been preparing for so many years. Why stop now?" A demon sitting near Nazdek asked.
There was a strict hierarchy in the room and the lower authority demons were not allowed to question the one in command.
However, the ones close to the throne were exempted from this as they were almost equals in front of the Demon King.
Nazdek, calmly shifting his gaze to the demon that questioned him, replied back, "A summoning has been performed, a variable has entered."
The demons in the room showed a surprised look.
"A summoning? When?" A vixen with a seductive body, sitting right across Nazdek, asked.
Nazdek turned to look at the woman and said, "Twice."
The vixen's expression turned solemn upon hearing that while the rest had shock surface over their faces.
"It happened twice and we weren't even in the know?" A giant demon with an axe resting by his side exclaimed.
Nazdek nodded his head lightly. "His Majesty left when the first summoning happened and the second one had happened just recently."
The demons in the room gasped in utter disbelief. They couldn't fathom that something so big had happened right under their noses and that too, not once, but twice!
From the words of Nazdek, everyone could decipher that the Demon King had left right after the first summoning had been performed.
It was probably to investigate and silently take out the variable from the equation.
However, if that was the case, then a second summoning shouldn't have happened.
Nazdek mentioned it happening for the second time and this meant serious trouble for the demons.
Many conclusions could be deciphered from these statements and the room once again saw pin drop silence.
There was an itch at everyone's back of wanting to know what happened further in this development. If the Demon King had gone to stop the summoning, then why did it happen for the second time?
Leave that, another most important question in everyone's mind was: Was the Demon King absent due to the summoning event or was it for some other reason?
The Demons had faith in the Demon King as there was no person stronger than him that they knew of.
It was baffling to even think of him dying or messing up as there never had been a time since that had happened.
Thus, the Demons thought that the Demon King might've not paid attention to the summoning and was away for some other business.
Nazdek had also not specifically stated where the King had gone, leaving everybody even more puzzled.
Seriously, the Demons in the room really just wanted to strangle Nazdek and get him to spit out answers.
That bastard's way of speaking indirectly was really annoying and made more questions pop up than get things solved.
With everybody getting confused and not having any idea on how to proceed, Nazdek tapped on his chair's armrest to grab everyone's attention and said:
"Panic is not needed. Continue to focus on the training. The session's dismissed."
With that, Nazdek got up and vanished from his spot, leaving everybody really puzzled.
"That bastard…" The demons of a similar status to Nazdek exclaimed in annoyance.
The vixen giggled softly and said in her fruity voice, "He does things to be on our minds rent free. What a flirt."
The giant demon with his big axe on his shoulder looked down at the vixen and said, "If you're annoyed too, join hands with me to kill him."
The open threat didn't faze anybody in the room. This was a common occurrence in the Demon Court as the Demon Society had always been a cruel place.
If people thought that they were stronger than somebody, they were most welcomed to try and kill them. A prior notice and legal formalities would get people proper fame and status, but doing it in the shadows was also allowed.
Due to such a cold hearted society being in place, the Demons barely trusted anybody and kept their interactions limited to other people of similar status or power levels.
There was also a natural drive to be stronger as a moment's weakness could lead to a permanent disappearance from this universe.
The vixen, after getting the proposal from the giant, giggled and said, "I've just got my nails done, I'm not in the mood to flirt with you two. Bye~~"
The vixen disappeared from the court along with her lackeys and the giant clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The giant demon then slammed his axe on the ground and disappeared as well with his lackeys.
One by one, everybody disappeared from the court, except one person…
Right behind the mighty throne that belonged to the Demon King, a malnourished and skinny boy was crouched down and held himself tightly.
His teeth were cluttering due to fear and his body trembled as well.
The boy stayed in the same position for an hour straight and after knowing that there wasn't any discussion happening, he slightly leaned to the side and had a peak.
A sigh of relief left the boy's mouth and he slumped back on the throne, feeling tired, scared, confused, and completely flabbergasted.
Closing his eyes and having his body tremble, the boy gritted his teeth and muttered, "I shouldn't have thought that the old fart wizard was playing a prank on me. This ain't the same 21st century, there are no cameras for people to play pranks. Fuck, what have I have gotten myself into…"
