Floid wouldn't kill Rosavellt because he knew she was still useful to him, but that doesn't mean she is above punishment.
Rosavellt could see the irritation in Floid's eyes and she felt her resolve breaking as she almost backed down from asking him what was wrong! She knew she shouldn't try to annoy him anymore but she couldn't just leave him when he is this troubled! The demon lord has always helped her when she was in trouble and he didn't abandon he even when she was confused. She would not abandon him no matter what!
"I know I am overstepping my boundaries, master. And I know I have no right to desire your confidence. But I still wish to help you. I wish to be there for you and listen to you. Forgive my boldness...but you are my master and I want to bare part of your burden. Even if it is only a little,"
Rosavellt looked up at Floid with an intense gaze and he narrowed his eyes even more as he heard what she said. Floid was surprised by how far she was willing to go just to help him. Floid decided that it would not be bad to tell her what was troubling him. He trusted Rosavellt and he knew that Rosavellt was wise so she could give good advice. I won't even have to worry about her telling anyone else about this anyway since she is too loyal to think about something like that.
"What have you heard about Asgorath's strength?"
Floid said this to Rosavellt and Rosavellts eyes widened as she heard it. Was that what the demon lord was worried about? He is worried about how strong the mythical dragon is. Rosavellt immediately felt annoyed with herself. The truth is that Rosavellt hasn't even heard much about Asgorath before! The dragon was sealed long before Rosavellt was born and there was no news about it in the underworld. For a while, Rosavellt even believed that the dragon wasn't real! How can you believe something is real when you've never even seen its effects in the real world before!? Rosavellt heard a lot of her people talking about the dragon, but she just didn't believe that it was real!
But Rosavellt couldn't say that the dragon was not real anymore. After the demon lord spoke about the dragon and both Alucard and Dragonnel also confirmed it, there is no way she wouldn't believe it. Since her master believes that the dragon is real, Rosavellt also believed that it is real. But Rosavellt didn't know if she could do anything to help Floid in this sort of situation. Roaavellt looked down as she answered.
"I... I haven't heard much about it before, master. Most of what I know, I know from the tales I heard from my people,"
Floid nodded. He expected as much. Floid also didn't know much about the dragon so he was already expecting Rosavellt not to know a lot. But how in the world is Floid going to fight against an opponent that he knows nothing about? Floid always tries to learn as much as possible about his opponent before going into a fight. He was able to learn a lot about Dulla from Rosavellt and he also knew a lot about the other kingdoms that he invaded before going there. But he didn't know about Asgorath and that worried him.
"But does it matter, master?"
Rosavellt suddenly spoke up and Floid looked down at her again with a raised brow. She hesitated for a moment before she put her hands on his abs and continued talking.
"I don't care about all that. None of your servants care about that. We know that the dragon of myths is strong and we know that we are going into a battle blindly. But that doesn't matter to us. We follow you, master. From here to the depths of hell. I will follow you and I will fight no matter who the opponent is. If we die, then let us die. I believe in your path and I know I want to fight beside you. So please master, do not be worried."
Floid was not shocked by the declaration. It wasn't the first time that one of his servants was telling him that they would gladly die for him. Floid had already heard it all before. And Floid didn't care about whether or not they would fight with him. Even if they abandoned him right now, Floid knew that he would still be fine. He never needed them in the first place, and if they betray him and he kills them then he will feel nothing.
But it is always nice to know that someone is watching your back.
"Are all the preparations for the trip complete?"
Rosavellt was blindsided by the sudden change in topic but she still managed to nod her head. She already finished preparing everything a while ago, so she doesn't have much to do right now. She told Floid that she was just going to check on Andromeda and make sure that Rizi has eaten as well. Floid nodded before he pulled her close and kissed her.
Rosavellt stumbled into Floid's chest in shock but she didn't fight against the kiss and she allowed Floid to explore inside her mouth. By the time they broke the kiss, Rosavellt was panting like she just ran a marathon.
Floid spoke up calmly.
"Since you are finished, then you will stay with me tonight. The other maids can take care of themselves,"
Rosavellt couldn't say no even if she wanted to.
.......
[Dual Casting] has been activated.
[True Sight] has been activated.
[Internal Combustion] has been activated.
Phwoom!!
A large inferno of fire exploded around Floid as he faced off against his opponent. Floid was holding the katana that he took from Valkyrie's corpse in oven hand and his eyes were narrowed as he concentrated intensely on the person opposite him.
Alucard was standing with both hands behind his back as he looked at Floid impassively. The two of them were currently inside a large training room in the demon castle and they were about to fight!
Floid was the one that ordered Alucard to do this. After speaking with Rosavellt yesterday, Floid realized that he needed to see what it was like to fight against someone that he has never fought against before and he chose Akucard to be his opponent! Floid could have chosen any one of his household members, but it is obvious that Alucard is the strongest out of all of them! And floid needed to fight a strong opponent to prepare! Floid has never seen Alucard fighting, but Floid could still tell that Alucard was strong!
Alucard didn't make a move for some time and Floid stayed calm and allowed his mind to clear out before he suddenly shot off the ground!
Boom!
The air behind him released a sonic blast as he reached Alucard and sent a slash straight for Alucard! Alucard managed to jump back easily and he reached a hand out and activated a skill of his own.
[Blood chains - SSS] has been activated!
Three blood-red chains shot out from Alucard's hand and went straight for Floid! Floid immediately waved his hands and he used his [Internal Combustion] flames to redirect the chains to the side! Floid shot towards Alucard again and he sent a slash straight for Alucard's neck but Akucardbrought up his hands and stopped the blade with his palm! The katana was not strong enough to break through Akucards skin and Alucard was about to jump back to create more distance! But Alucard's eyes winded when she suddenly saw Floid activate another skill.
[Ultimate Strength] has been activated!
The ultimate Strength skill allowed Floid to increase his base strength by many times, and once he activated it, Floid started to push the sword forward till it was cutting into Alucard's hand!
[Diamond Skin] has been activated!
Alucard quickly activated a defensive skill and he sent a kick towards Floid's midsection! Floid sidestepped the kick and spun in the air before sending his own kick straight for Alucard's head!
Bam!
The kick made Alucard stumble one step to the side and Floid landed to the side with a frown on hai face. He flicked his sword and stood straight to look directly at Alucard.
"Are you holding back right now?"
Floid asked Akucard this question with a frown on his face and Alucard simply nodded his head. Alucard knew that Floid was holding back and so Alucard did the same.
"I do not think it is fair to fight at my full strength against an opponent that does not do the same. The sword you are using is not even your true sword, master."
Floid's frown deepened and he pointed his sword at Alucard.
"I don't give a fuck about your credo, Alucard. Attack me with your full strength,"
Alucard went silent for some time before he finally nodded and put his hands to the side. It was an order from his master, so Alucard was not going to hold back in the next attack. Two knives appeared from thin air Into Alucard's hands. They had intricate designs around the golden handles and their blades were pure silver that shone with a mysterious light!
Alucards eyes turned red and he crouched.
"Here I come."
Ka-Boommmmm!!!!!
