"We take them on alone… It will be a one-sided massacre!" Kaido laughed bitterly.
"Don't be dumb human… If you all rushed in alone with your forces… You will be wiped out in a matter of minutes and the gold realm masters amongst you all will only hold for a few weeks…. Even I can see that?" Demos felt offended by Kaido's lack of faith in him but Kaido couldn't care less.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Or do you hope that at our time of need, Derik and Cyrus will awaken when they hear the death cries of their sect members?" Kaido asked with furrowed eyebrows and a clenched fist.
"No and yes… I'm banking on the fact that Derik and Cyrus' connection to their faithful followers will be able to trigger their awakening when they sense the danger their followers are in… but not in the suicidal way you are thinking…." Demos explained slowly, making Kiado heave a sigh of relief when he knew they weren't going for a suicidal dive.
"Then what do you have in mind?" this time Kaido seemed more alive and eager to know what Demos had in mind, making the guardian spirit puff his chest in pride as he prepared a short speech in his mind.
"You all tend to forget the magic beasts still reside in this huge continent with you all… Do you think they will just accept the new invaders without any resistance?... I have spoken to the four elemental ancient dragons and they are more than willing to join the action as long as you all create some sort of disturbance… initiate the battle and they will join in…" Demos explained.
Hearing this Kiado was a bit annoyed but he couldn't deny this has lifted a lot of burden from his shoulders. With the backing of the magic beasts, they can definitely battle one of these invaders on equal terms and they may even win. Adding the four elemental ancient dragons alongside Derik and Cyrus was complete overkill. They will definitely obliterate any foe with little effort, except the orcs and beast-men.
"This is a good plan… But I plan to change our target…" Kaido said while rubbing his facial hair carefully.
"We sent our forces to scout the enemies a long time ago and even now we are still gathering information…. So far, we agreed the orcs and the beast-men are too strong for us to deal with… so we spotted the perfect target just a few weeks ago…." Kaido said with a sly smile on his face, making Demos flinch. It's rare to see someone like Kaido wear such expressions unless he truly has something crazy in mind.
At this point, Kuen stepped forward and shot Demos a meaningful glance first before speaking.
"They call themselves humans… Just like us… But the only difference is they have no special abilities… no elemental affinities… no supernatural beings… just technology… At least that's what Blink called it… weapons fast enough to kill mages even before they can think of casting spells… weapons so destructive, it makes the fights between gold realm masters look like child's play… despite being the last invaders to set foot on this continent with the least number, they are already strong enough to repel attacks from the orc horde" Kuen said with fear boldly written in his quavering eyes.
"We sent Blink and his team to investigate and it's not getting any better… These people… These humans found a way to create a spatial rift and keep it open… more people are crossing over… More weapons are been brought into our world…." Kin shuddered as he spoke. Even though his body was hidden by the cluster of darkness, making it impossible for someone to tell how he feels through body language or facial expressions, it still couldn't conceal the fear boldly spelled out in his shaky voice.
"These people are still friendly because they fear the palace master… They received Blink and his team because Blink identified himself as a member of this death palace… Derik has made a name for himself and its only because of his crazy stories that these people are yet to attack… they can feel the death aura around this empire and they assume Derik is still present… But for how long? How long will they live in fear? If these humans gather enough forces and bring them into our world… coupled with the weapons and technology they use… Not just the empire but they will easily eradicate all life on this continent!" Kira said with furrowed eyebrows and his arms wrapped around his chest. Unlike the others, he didn't seem afraid. Instead, he seemed pissed off by the fact that they were yet to do something about the situation.
Even after they were done speaking, Demos remained silent for over a minute sending cold chills in the hearts of the four gold realm masters. The fact the angel of death is left speechless by something like this means, he already knows more than they do and maybe the little they know is nothing compared to his own knowledge.
"They are here too? How? Does that mean they weren't using their true strength when they wiped out the wingman race? They didn't need to use their true strength to destroy the holy church? How is that possible?" Demos was as pale as a ghost when he spat out those words.
