From the naked eye, the high-rank Supernaturals are in peace and collaboration.
Any civilians, those who oathed themselves to their Origins, living under their domains were both excited and happy for the fact that there was no war between them, focusing solely on a common enemy for a better future for Supernaturals.
Even the older generations of Supernaturals have just made a mutual agreement recently.
It was time for them to forget the past momentarily.
Due to the situation of the new era, recognizing that they have a very high chance to finally reign over the entire world with the fall of the Humans, most of them vowed to forget about the past until humanity is defeated.
Such a movement surprised even the leaders of the high-rank Supernaturals.
Knowing the deep hatred and blood feud that some of them have for one another, the leaders thought that in order to achieve this united banner, time was required to develop a stronger bond between them.
However, it happened faster than they expected, which was quite a pleasant surprise.
Naturally, there are outliers that don't agree.
Rastrikan Demons are one such force that refused to postpone their hatred strongly.
Bending stubbornly in their quest for revenge for the Dwarves.
But unlike the other leaders of high-rank Supernatural races, Elder Tilrith is not one who is fond of softness and thus arranges the demise of the Rastrikan Demons coldly, a favor she asked to an entity that she knows would be able to massacre them all at once.
It would save her the trouble, and damage to her public image.
Just as she anticipated, she could already feel the Rastrikan Demons were being wiped.
Upon sensing this pleasant occurrence, her lips curled into a smile.
"Perhaps it's time for me to move..." Elder Tilrith stood up unwillingly from her throne.
Taking a tender look at the throne, still infatuated by the fact that the day she could sit on the throne where the previous Rulers of Demon sat finally came, her smile blossomed before she straightened her nigh-perfect, curvy body and turned around.
Waving her hand, she summoned a portal leisurely.
Inside the crust of the Demon Kingdom, she has the free reign to go anywhere like this.
Moreover, all Demons inside are also way stronger than those outside.
Albeit staying put inside the throne room and making use of the First Breath to cultivate her power in preparation for the Second Breath is the best thing to do, she was not naive enough to not expect others to take advantage of the arrangement she had made herself.
Elder Tilrith is not that foolish, she needs to take preventive measures to anticipate this.
"Rex against Kirgil..." She muttered softly.
Gazing at the portal with a troubled look, she frowned in contemplation, "It's too hard of a chance to pass up. If I were them, I would definitely take this advantage. Both of them have been silent for a while, but that made it even more obvious that they were going to move"
Unlike what it appeared to be, there was a strain between the leaders of Supernaturals.
It happened after the fight against Rex.
Elder Noskear and the Storm Prince evidently bore resentment after that incident.
Rumor says that one is experiencing a heavy backlash from the people while the other is extremely angry for being stopped from landing the final blow to Rex. Due to that, both remained chillingly silent for a while and surely developed a strain against Elder Rancaladra and Elder Enima who were siding with Rex.
On the other hand, Elder Tilrith and Elder Nolacula remained in the center, neutral.
None of the two express too much favorability to Rex.
However, that is going to change in a bit, considering what she was about to do.
"Zara, do you mind coming here? I have a place to go" Elder Tilrith muttered whisperingly.
At a glance, there was nobody inside the scorching, lava-filled throne room with her. It was as if she was talking to herself. However, a massive figure resurfaced from the sea of lava beside the throne, dripping with steam and thick lava.
It looked to be a demonic serpent, and it made no sound as it slithered to Elder Tilrith.
When it came into view, its humongous size was exposed.
Even though the throne room is not at all, small, this demonic serpent easily coils its body around the entire place. It has a robust, thick black body, a pair of rubies from the depth of hell itself as its eyes, and also sharp spikes on its spine.
Subsequently, its power definitely matches its appearance.
Reaching out her hand, the demonic serpent lowers its head fondly to be caressed.
Hiss...
Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith understood what the serpent meant and giggled.
"I know I've disturbed your sleep, but we have to go", She said tenderly.
Elder Tilrith then looked over her shoulder, her eyes fixed on the entity hovering above the throne exuding immense pure demonic energy that literally fueled the entire Demon Kingdom and beyond with its grace.
Smiling gently, she waved her hand, "I'll see you later, dear..."
It was the Demonic Eye that she was talking to, the core energy of the entire Demon Race created and a loyal companion to the Demon Origin himself. In return, the Demonic Eye gazed at her and sent a wave of demon energy toward her.
Responding to her words which it had not done to Saruth who was the previous King.
Just this reaction alone made Elder Tilrith unable to conceal her smile.
It was a clear sight that the Demonic Eye acknowledged her as a rightful ruler, a distinction it reserved for those deemed worthy. Not one Demon would not be delighted to be acknowledged by the sacred core of Demons like this.
Fulfilling her ritual of leaving, she then entered the portal and left.
A moment later.
Just when she was awakened and got to see the world outside, she realized that many things changed throughout the course of thousands of years being sealed by the Ancient Humans, the new era is full of surprises.
Forests that mainly dominated the whole world were now lesser than ever.
Even the air feels different compared to back then.
However, the desolate lifeless plain that surrounded the Demon Kingdom didn't change.
Mounting atop Zara, the two moved through the plain quickly.
Unlike regular serpent-like creatures that slither, Zara moved a bit differently than them.
Covered with a disturbing amount of demonic energy that it had cultivated inside the lave, cloaking its entire body with a thick purplish hue, Zara slithered forward before disappearing, only to reappear half a mile in front.
It was an odd way of moving, showing its innate power over space elements.
While the two continued, Elder Tilrith caught sight of a standing figure in the distance.
It's not a Demon, nor is it someone she expected to be nearby.
Squinting her eyes, Elder Tilrith realized that it was someone whom she knew, but the appearance of him is not expected here. Doing one last blink, she and Zara appeared right before the figure who had a towering and imposing presence.
At the sight of this figure, Zara hissed, using its intimidation display.
"Calm down, Zara... It's okay" Elder Tilrith rubbed its head, calming it down. She then turned her attention towards the figure, raising an eyebrow, "Elder Rancaladra, should I say what a pleasant surprise to meet you here at an opportune moment?"
"Don't bother, I was waiting for you" the figure, Elder Rancaldra replied nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith frowned as she wasn't expecting Elder Rancaladra to know anything about her entire ordeal. But even then, she still kept a composed look, assessing the situation with a clear mind.
"So you know about my deal with Rex too?"
"Yes"
"Then are you here to help me in case Elder Noskear and the Storm Prince do something?"
"No"
Contrary to what she was expecting, Elder Rancaladra denied her assumption.
Elder Tilrith frowned, she was now puzzled.
If Elder Rancaladra wasn't here to help her in an event where Elder Noskear and the Storm Prince taking advantage of the ordeal, then she doesn't know why he was here. He should've been on Rex's side, so she thought this was the reason.
At least until the Executor has taken out of the picture.
But then again, Elder Rancaldra is probably not aware of the development of the plan.
"Can you come another time?" Elder Tilrith shrugged her shoulders.
Since it was not what she expected, then she only had another guess aside from that. "I'm busy right now. I know that the Dragonman Race is in a difficult situation right now, and I can understand that you're lonely. How about after I deal with this matter, I'll help relieve yourself?"
Listening to this made Elder Rancaladra's reptilian eyes glow sharply.
"Do you really think I want to be stained by a filth like you...?" He asked back blatantly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Tilrith smiled back teasingly.
Her eyes sparkled with amusement at the uncharacteristic reaction from Elder Rancaladra, who was typically known for his calm and collected demeanor. With a subtle flick of her hair, she exuded an irresistible charm.
A move that left Elder Rancaladra captivated for a fraction of a second.
"Oh, is that so?" she purred, a sultry smile playing on her lips. "I had quite the appetite for a dragon's robust life essence. Would you deny me that pleasure?" Her gaze intensified, locked onto his. "Trust me, you won't regret it"
"In fact, you might find yourself addicted to me" She said, oozing with a Succubus charm.
Elder Rancaladra scoffed when he heard this.
However, when he was about to say something, his eyes widened and his body stiffened.
Raising his gaze to look at Elder Tilrith, he could hide the shock in his face. It was surprising that the subtle demonic energy that oozes out of Elder Tilrith managed to actually incite his dormant lust which should have been impossible.
"You... Your power is stronger" He muttered in complete disbelief.
Now that he realized it, Elder Tilrith lifted up her chin in confidence, there was no one in the entire world who could resist her charm now. "It's a stressful time, Elder Rancaladra. I guess you should understand what I meant..."
Shaking his head, Elder Rancaldra quickly turned around, avoiding eye contact.
"Let's not idle in this useless banter, Elder Tilrith. I would go with you because there's someone amongst Rex's forces that I wanted to meet, that's the reason I'm coming with you" He quickly added, refusing to be swayed by Elder Tilrith.
Not minding the companion, Elder Tilrith shrugged her shoulders, "Come, I don't mind..."
In the next second, the two darted in a direction.
Elder Tilrith was now also interested in this person that Elder Rancaladra wanted to meet. Seeing that he was going to such lengths to meet this person, it should be related to the Dragonman Race.
None excites Elder Rancaladra more than his own race.
If Rex has someone like that amongst his forces, she wouldn't be that surprised.
Considering that he even has an extinct race, a Cyclops in his forces.
While traveling with extreme speed through the desolate plain, Elder Tilrith casts a glance at Elder Rancaladra on the side, flapping his majestic wings, clearly influenced by her demonic energy that acts as an intoxicating aphrodisiac that can ignite the natural desires of males.'
Even she, herself was not expecting Elder Rancaladra to be affected this much.
'I'm now sure that my power got stronger. But then, how come he didn't get affected...?'
Remembering her visit to Dargena City, she frowned.
During that visit when she talked with Rex about the situation with the Rastrikan Demons, she tried to sneak her demonic energy into Rex and found that he was completely unfazed by her. It was almost as if he had no lust.
But then again, that should be impossible as Rex is still a Werewolf with brimming lust.
Just then, Calidora's smile appeared inside her mind.
'Hmmm... Does that Vampire do something to him? No, it can't be. Rex is very meticulous and calculating. Not to mention, he also has strength comparable to us' Elder Tilrith pondered, however, Calidora's presence made her doubt her judgment. 'No, if it's her, then she might do something'
'That little Vampire, she will really be the next Queen Elizabeth...'
