[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 737

My gaze leaves his and sweeps across everyone in the room. All of the Warlords look at me with a combination of awe, respect, unease, and loyalty—all for different reasons.

Ember just watches me speak with a mysterious look on his face, letting me take the reins now that he's managed to bring us all together.

I speak to my four human generals first.

"As discussed earlier, you know what you must do, and as fast as possible."

Then, I turn to Ava.

"You were not seen during the dueling recording, so technically, you're just a freed Exile in the eyes of the Citadel. I have a special job for you, and it involves leading other freed exiles below that may be in chaos now that the guardian was killed..."

–

Everyone patiently waits for a few minutes while I outline her job, then I turn back to the Warlords, tightening my gaze on Asic next.

"—And you. I've heard the Orcs can create quite intricate illegal avatars, right?"

He nods but doesn't respond, so I continue.

"Now that you're all dead, I want you to create new avatars without any limiters whatsoever. The central tower, including all of the funds this Demon left behind, are available to you if needed. Ask for resources and you will receive, and do not think of the consequences of being caught; because we will make the rules of this zone of the Upper Realm soon. I want all of the benefits of the premium and custom avatars, but no downsides."

I look at each of the Warlords one by one.

"For each of them."

Asic nods and speaks up.

"Understood. With enough time and resources, what you ask for can be done. I will need Torvak's help to source and create the perfect soul weapons. We have materials in long-term storage that cannot compare to what is available on this Citadel."

Torvak nods.

"It is true. I've warned the higher-ups in the Ogre Conglomeration of my absence hours ago when Ember first formulated this plan. They are loyal. A secure message will be sent after this meeting, but it will take a few days to retrieve the materials."

"Good," I reply before turning my gaze to the Berserker Giant and continuing.

"Zashen, I believe you have enough raw power to kill a Noble."

My head turns to Ember, and he nods.

"Yes, I believe all of the Berserkers would be able to do some serious damage if trained right. I will come to your base and personally train them."

I turn to the Blue Wyvern, who has gone silent, still looking at me with curious eyes full of wisdom.

"You had a question for me before we came up here—if the path of Nobility could be followed without being born into it..."

I pause for a moment.

"Apparently, the answer is yes."

The eyes of this creature show shock again, as my words infer that I was not always like this.

However, my next words make its hopeful expression fade.

"I don't know how to replicate it on anyone else. There is still a lot for me to learn. After our meeting here, I'd like to learn what this Path of Nobility really means, especially from one that walks this same path."

My senses focus on the vibrations I feel even through this holographic feed. They are not an energy source and cannot be suppressed. My curiosity for this sensation has been growing since the moment I unsealed my Noble Form.

Seraphel, the Blue Wyvern, replies, feeling my same vibrations through the hologram as well.

"It is forbidden knowledge, but an old Noble to a new, it is only right I teach you what I know."

I nod, then turn to everyone else in the room.

"Great. I'm waiting for one last piece to fall into place, then I will be sending out the finer details of attack strategy and a timeline for—"

I stop speaking mid-sentence, as another incoming call shows up on the transmission device in the central tower's top floor.

I go silent, and the other Warlords aren't sure why.

The human generals see what I see, but are not fully filled in on the events of today to understand the weight of the message popping up before me.

Ember takes a step back from Zashen's hologram and immediately turns his hybrid body into a full-sized dragon, flapping his wings and enveloping his body in dense demonic energy without saying a word.

I speak up while preparing to close out contact and deactivate my mana manipulation skill.

"It looks like I'll be able to send you that information faster than I thought... The Lord of the Grand Citadel is calling..."

I shift my face and complete body appearance back into the Noble Demon I killed on the human world and speak again.

"It appears he's taken the bait. I'm going to speak with the Vermillion Family Head."
