"This place is…"
Belial said as he looked around. He looked uncomfortable with the destruction around himself. While he could understand that there was a civilation in here before, everything around his group was destroyed.
"This dimension is called Earth, I believe. They don't have magic."
Jusdas said as he remembered the things he read several centuries ago. Meanwhile, Alastor had his eyes locked in front of them.
"I see where you are looking friend."
He too, could feel the immense energy coming from there.
"It looks even more rundown than here."
Belial added.
"This is the same magic power as we felt before. His majesty must be one that caused that destruction. Battle against a huge beast type enemy, I believe. A canine probably. It also had a group of smaller canines."
Exploring the battlefield, Belial came to that conclusion. He was proficient in beast hunting.
"Blood is drained from Barghests. It is possible his majesty used some kind of blood magic to heal himself."
Jusdas, best magician in the group added.
"An immense growth rate. His power is increasing as we get closer to him."
Alastor felt shivers down his spine. If he grew in this rate, he would turn into a real monster when they reached to him. He couldn't help but to smile from ear to ear.
"It is good that he didn't fought with that divine beast."
Belial said as he remembered the tracks from divine beasts. Since his energy was all over this ruined city, he either drove away or escaped from the divine beast.
"We must find him before it finds him. He is no doubt is getting stronger in a rate I never seen before. But he is still…"
Alastor cut his words and pulled the gigantic sword from his back. He was a huge man. Sword he carried was also big as him. Seeing how he behaved, others also went into full alert.
"Come on. We all have the same goal. Why do you pull your sword when you feel me?"
While her femine voice felt like honey to 3 mans ears, hearing it caused them to tighten their guard.
"Vixen. What are you doing here?"
Alastor, as the strongest and oldest there spoke with full spite.
"My, my. How rude Lord Alastor. I am still a Succubus Queen and Demon Lord. But before that I am a fragile woman. Calling me a vixen hurts my feeling."
She faked crying. Alastor raised his sword.
"Play more tricks and my sword will fell towards your neck."
She got out of ruble she was behind. Despite the shattered ground she moved gracefully with high heels. Her appearance contrasted with three man. While all four had horns and tails, their shape was different. She also wore revealing clothes with full make up. All 3 man was roughed up and covered with dust. They wore non flashy traveling clothes.
"I am also here to find our king. Since our goal is same, isn't it normal that we would meet?"
Alastor scuffed.
"You and loyalty. At least try to sound like your telling the truth, Rosalina."
Hearing her name being spoken without any honorifics made Rosalina angry. Despite that, her face still smiled.
"We been waiting for a king to unite us. Maybe I am excited for that, Alastor."
She also answered back with using his name. Using names like this was a taboo for demons. Both demons glared each other until Belial spoke up.
"Lady Rosalina, do you have any information about our king?"
While the way he spoke was polite, his voice was cold enough to freze anyone hearing it. Rosalina waved the fan she carried before speaking.
"My, my. Your child at least tries to play the game. You should learn from it."
Belial came forward with a hand in his swords handle. Unlike his father, his longsword was still in its sheath. Despite not being big as his father, sword he carried couldn't be lifted by most demons.
"Lady Rosalina. I, as a fellow Demon Lord, trying to cooperate for good of our king. However,"
He pulled his sword with a single smooth motion.
"If your were to speak ill of my father, I have no problems swinging my blade. So, please share the information you have and we will also do the same."
"Do you want to sign a contract?"
"If you think it is necessary. However since I am not proficient in that field, Lord Jusdas will be one to handle it."
Jusdas nodded. Even though it looked like he was being forced forward, as a magician he was more knowledge than two man combined.
"We don't need that."
She laughed.
"We also don't want to be here for centuries, don't we?"
High demons was masters of creating loopholes in contracts. If two wanted to sign a contract, both agreeing would take at least years. She fanned her face more.
"Let me go first, as a sign of my goodwill. Zahrith is also looking for him. You may guess that he isn't looking for him for good reasons."
All eyes widened with mention of that name. Belial's reaction was not big as other two.
"He was banished by our Red Lord! How he is here again?"
Jusdas exclaimed.
"I also don't know. But I think it is related to him."
Alastor smashed his sword into the ground, startling everyone.
"Is this true?"
He asked to her while looking directly to her eyes.
"I'll swear on our Glorious Light."
Alastor was even more disgruntled. Jusdas also looked stressed.
"Father is this…"
"You don't know him. He is worst demon Hell ever seen. If he is back, he is back for one reason. To be King of the Hell."
He was a demon so ancient that, Belial a Demon Lord didn't know him that good. He only read books and listened stories.
"He is son of our Lord. First demon after our lord reached the godhood, he tried to be king."
Jusdas explained.
"I know that much. But is he that big of a problem?"
All three, more experienced demons nodded. Rosalina spoke up.
"He is… Our lord's child. He is stronger than your father or any Demon Lord. Only reason we even managed to banish him was because of Our Lord's light."
"He is stronger than Father?"
Belial looked at his father. One of the strongest beings in the Hell was weaker than Zahrith?
"We need to find our king. Fast!"
