Chapter 214 Assiaphir’s Oath.

Upon hearing their reasoning, Alvine beckoned Sabrina to sit down.

"Do you want to wait to become divine mages for your fidelities oath? So let me tell you two words, if you have such a small ambition, I wouldn't need your oath of loyalty. I don't hate the weak, but I have a disgust for those who lament about their spells by sitting on their thrones to shout that they were not lucky."

"..."

"Lilias, get close to here." The confused and silent queens, Alvine gave way to practice.

When the little fairy heard him, she flew near him with confused and suspicious eyes.

"Don't move, otherwise you might waste the gift I'm about to give you." He had a mysterious smile as he spoke these words.

"Master, you don't intend to...

"Right, it's a good opportunity for me to show the benefits they will have." Alvine interrupts Sabrina's words as he nonchalantly tapped Lilias' forehead with his index finger.

"Ugh, what are you...?" Seeing Alvine's actions, she wanted to throw her little tantrum, but she immediately stopped, feeling the rich magical energy flowing through her veins to the point of exploding her mana veins!

She didn't have time to ask what Alvine had done, an innocent smile drew these little lips as she channeled the energy necessary for her breakthrough and tried to seal her for later.

"Don't worry about the meeting, go to the cultivation room and make your breakthrough. You wanted to reach the divine rank, didn't you? You now have the opportunity to do it." Alvine retorted these words, surprising everyone in the meeting room; except for his maids, who knew his ability to share energy.

*Master, now that you don't have Randolph's bug, which limited your powers, you must be careful with this practice; otherwise you will risk destroying a low-ranking mage’s cultivation who doesn't have a good base for cultivation.* Sabrina's voice resonates in her head as she gave him this advice.

*I know, it's the risk to be incurred. But I had a 70% success chance, not to mention that this little fairy just needed a little push to break her bottleneck; I did nothing more than give her the little push she needed for her breakthrough.*

"Luna, lead her into the cultivation room. I don't want her to provoke divine tribulations in the meeting room." Alvine spoke once again, awakening others in their daydreams.

But just as everyone wondered to whom his words were addressed, Luna revealed her presence; by going out, not in his shadow, but in Assipahir's shadow whose expression couldn't be described, seeing that she had been spied on from the start.

'So that was it, sigh, I've been watched since...the beginning?' She wondered as she looked at Alvine with her unhappy expression.

"Please follow me." Luna's monotonous voice resounded in the meeting room, as she walked calmly in front of Lilas, who followed her, without question.

These events' successions made the meeting room quieter than it was.

'What just happened?!!'s Such was the question that most people asked themselves.

But conversely, no one had the will to ask, even Lilliana and Vandel weren't brave enough to want to know more about this mystery that went beyond all their reasoning.

"As I said,

"!!"

His voice once again attracted their attention, that unconsciously force him to make a break, given their expressions.

"Ahem, as I said, people who have so few ambitions aren't allowed to make the road with me. So I ask you once again, do you want to wait for your breakthrough to recognize me as your sovereign?" He asked once again after finding his inexpressive expression.

The problem was not because of the conditions they set, but because they speak as if they only wanted to reach the divine rank only. It was this insignificant ambition that made him uncompromising against them!

Hearing his words that resonated at their soul's depth, Yury got up in her chair, followed by Cheera. But Alvine had confused eyes when he saw another person get up on her chair to join the two; Assiaphir.

'A world where weakness has no place, that's this crazy world’s nature.' He said to himself looking at the three silhouettes in front of him.

His show had more effects than he expected.

"I, Yury Miyako, swear by heavenly oath, to serve you forever until my death. If you tell me to go to the west, even if it's a certain death that awaits me at the end of the road, I would never go east."

"Cheera Greenwood, elves’ queen swears you loyalty at the moment with the heavenly oath. You will forever be the only master I’ll serve for eternity."

Following this, Asiaphir knelt in front of him.

"What made you change your mind, Little Demoness?" Before Asssiaphir spoke, Alvin's asked with a frown.

The fact of seeing Lilias being able to reach the divine rank with so much ease? No. Since Asiaphir is already a high-level divine mage. So it was perhaps seeing Luna, whom she had never known, come out in her shadow that made her change her mind. Obviously, Alvine was curious to know her reasons.

Cheera and Yury's motivations are obvious. But Asiaphir's motivation was unknown to him.

"...I know that as a guardian, I’ll have to accept to serve my king as soon as he joins the throne. But...my duty was also to ensure my species' survival at all costs. After questioning our fellows whom you brought with you to this planet, the punishment you reserved for those who led them to slavery, and the way you treat your subordinates; believe me, or not, but, I had already made my decision even before this meeting’s beginning."

Hearing these words, Alvine looked at Sabrina, who nodded slightly, affirming her words’ veracity. 'Finally, she acted as I had planned, at best.' He said to Himself.

"If that is your will, then so be it. But I would still be demanding with you; in addition to your oath, I will also perform the blood rituals with you. I can't so easily trust someone of your rank. The most dangerous enemy isn't the one who confronts you in front of everyone, but the one who acts in the shadows; I learned the veracity of this saying in my old life. You must surely know what I'm talking about, don't you?"

Assia: ...I understand.

"Alright. So...do what you planned to do, and we'll perform the blood ritual later.

"Assiaphir Gleph'nir swears by the soul oath to be faithful to you forever."

'! A soul oath...huh? According to Sabrina, the soul oath is one of the three oaths made by primordial beings to agree. Apart from the oath of soul, there is the creative tree oath, and also the goddess Reha oath, who is the creative tree’s avatar. Apart from Sabrina, no one had yet made this kind of oath to me. But as Nicco, Ashia and Helene are of her soul’s part, the oath also applies to them and all her creations. It's absolute submission.' Alvine thought of these words as he remembered his fight against Sabrina.

"Well, take a seat. We will start the meeting, now that everything is settled. Cheera, and Yury...you will go with Assi to take what you will need to make your breakthrough in the divine realm after the meeting."

"As you wish, Lord." They bowed once again before sitting in their seats.

"Finally, let's go back to the main subject. In this war, we have to deal with two camps, one of which is weaker and doesn't deserve to be mentioned. But our true enemies are the divine mages who have left their planets to come and sow chaos on ours. Does anyone have any ideas to provide?" He started the subject with this survey proposal.

"Master, do we have an approximate idea of their numbers?" Sylvia asked in a placid tone.

"No, but according to the data collected by Ashia, these peoples will be able to have ten billion or more’s numbers; since we must fight against a whole planet that is home to about 80% of divine mages compared to their world populations!"

"A whole planet?" Cheera murmured for herself when she had incredulous eyes.

"Why not create an elite army that could completely raze them??" Lilliana proposed this idea.

But Alvine shook his head. "Our enemies aren't like the divine beasts. Just like us, they'll be able to make strategies and tricks to do everything in their power to win the war."

"Hoho~, indeed, Lord Alvine’s right, war is an art whose end will never be known. It's not because a camp contains some powerful elites that they’ll necessarily be the winners. And it's also the same when we talk about numbers; the war we waged on our old planet is proof of this." Vandel stroked his beard while supporting Alvine's words.

"Grandpa, I’d like to hear your opinion on the issue. You already received the important information last night, didn't you?"

"Indeed, from what I have learned, the situation is more complex than we expected. These people haven't only the numbers’ advantages, but also the powers. According to my analyses, I think the best solution will be to destroy them from the inside instead of making a front against the front."

Alvine nods his head. "You're right, a war from head to head with them would be suicide. They can destroy the planet Alzania and withdraw if they find that the situation is at their disadvantage. That's why our first goal is to save as much time as possible to learn more about our enemies. This war...will be a territorial’s war. For now, we must locate their planets, and show them that they’ll not have the means to escape us if they ever try to do something so ridiculous."
