Chapter 107 The Demons Are Slightly Worried

"W-we need to have an emergency summit... all of us."

The one who spoke so dreadfully, despite his bone-chilling voice, was the mighty Demon General Hogun.

His body had still not recovered from the shock of facing, and losing to, the human who proclaimed himself as the Legendary Dragon Slayer.

Picturing the image of the being sent a bit of shiver down Hogun's body, and he was confused by why he felt a form of awe rather than pure hate toward the human.

What was happening to him? Was it the effect of Magic?

~Whoah, was the human that strong?~

~Don't be a retard. Humans aren't very strong. They have a Level Cap of 30, right? All of us here are Level 100. A Demon's base stats is even higher than a human's, so I don't see how that is possible.~

~Yeah... that's a good point.~

"You lot didn't see what I saw! You better not underestimate that man!" Hogun roared in frustration.

His eyes were bulging with every, and his muscles were tightening in fury.

"You fools had better not underestimate those humans! They're far stronger than we have then credit for!"

~Whoah, Hogun, calm yourself.~

~Hmph! I won't believe it until I see the guy's abilities for myself. Though, I'm pretty sure if mop the floor with him.~

~We should all listen to Hogun. He's objective about these things..."

~What exactly did you see? I mean, our camps aren't exactly far from each other, but we're supposed to remain in our designated positions.~

~I saw a massive crater in your area. Did he cause that?~

~I also saw dead bodies and a mountain of corpses.~

~H-hold on, what?!~

"Huuu... you all..." Hogun's whisper felt husky and heavy.

The Demon Generals knew it was time to be silent in order to let him speak.

Despite his overly firm and stuff personality, he was still one of the strongest of them. That earned him the respect of everyone using the Divining Orb.

About seven of them were present—a full house, so to speak.

"Think about this carefully. We didn't expect the humans to possess those Dragon-based Weapons. It's not possible that they could have achieved something like that through ordinary means. Yet..."

Hogun was lost in a sea of negative emotions. The more he thought of it, the more confused he was.

"... Not only did they possess weapons out of their means, they actually struggled to survive the first wave."

~Yeah, we know that already. What's your point?~

"The Legendary Dragon Slayer was the one who granted them those weapons! He made sure they could resist us. He must have also caught wind of our plans to destroy the City today and decided to disrupt everything by massacring my soldiers."

Hogun wasn't certain, but he had a good feeling that it was to serve as simple warning. The lives of his soldiers were sacrificed to warn him and the other Demon Generals.

"We should move carefully henceforth."

~Hmm... do the others know of this?~ A calm voice proceeded from the Divining Orb.

It was a soft female tone—one.of the only two Demon Generals presently leading the army. The other one was, of course, absent from the meeting.

"I personally called them and told them to hold off the invasion plan. They must have also felt the explosion, so after I explained it to them, they decided to listen."

~I swear, you're the only one who can talk to those stuck-up idiots.~

"In any case, we need to have a joint assembly—maybe a physical one."

For a moment, there was static silence. However, a voice calmly asked the question on most of the Demons' minds.

~Why?~

They could simply use the Divining Orb for group calls, while Hogun would inform the others of their decision , personally.

Was there really a need to go an extra mile?

"I'm... thinking of calling 'The Master.'"

~WHAT?!~ A joint protest rang from the Divining Orb.

Even Hogun would have been shaken by the joint echoes of his colleagues, but he expected this much.

~WHY GO THAT FAR?~

To be frank, the Lion-Headed Demon saw logic in their protest. But, they didn't understand. If only they could see how he felt... how the Legendary Dragon Slayer was.

"Pray you never meet him in battle. Or maybe you should. Either way, I could clearly feel a compulsion to be dominated by him when I was in his presence..."

~D-Dominarion?!~

"Y-yeah. It shames me to admit it, but... it felt the same as I usually feel in the presence of 'The Master'.

~Oi. Oi. This is serious.~

~I didn't know he was that strong.~

~Well, it's ultimately up to you. If that's what you feel is right.~

~Your actions are always for the benefit of Demonkind, so I understand.~

The Lion-Headed Demon gave a short smile. His eyes glimmered slightly and a relived expression broke on his face.

"Thank you all."

~W-whatever! When do you want to have the meeting, anyway?~

~Yeah. And also, when will we be attacking?~

~Yep, just for reference.~

"To be safe, it's best we meet tomorrow. I want the dust to settle. If that man sees us taking action, he might make another move.

~Pfft, I still can't believe a single human is making us worry like this. For all we know, he could be a fraud who's faking it.~

"You don't know what I saw! There's no way he could fake that! He's the real deal!" Hogun rarely lost his composure, but he did so at this point.

Seething anger was properly expressed by the veins that appeared all over his face. His bloodshot eyes eyed the Divining Orb with annoyance.

~Welp. If you say so...~

"In any case, we shouldn't attack if we don't have enough information on the targets. As you all know, we need to be gathered before I can summon the Master, that's why I wanted a physical meeting."

Sounds of approval rang from within the Divining Orb, and once again, Hogun smiled in satisfaction and gratitude.

He might have been overreacting, but the Demon General doubted it.

"Thank you, everyone. All is to fulfil out master's wishes!"
