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

"What is the meaning of this...? Alveron. You do not get to make fools of us. The 5 Great Families own this Galaxy. Allowing you to maintain control over your sectors out here is a privilege. I demand you turn off these suppression arrays! You and this new client of yours are as good as dead if you do not comply right now!"

Helix squeezes this threat out through gritted teeth, staring straight at the silver knight as his True Core grows in luminosity, and the aura of his 1st Class Bloodline, starting to unseal, surges through the room.

I think about a response, but Alveron is much faster than me in a reply, sending one to me first.

"I've witnessed power from your generals that certainly stands against forces like the 5 Great Families in the Lower Realm. If they do follow through with these threats, do I have your backing as an ally in any future war that comes of this?"

I grin through our link. "Of course. Your help in giving my generals an optimal environment to break through to their highest potential has certainly cemented you as an Ally. An attack on your forces is an attack on mine."

The silver knight then replies to the Demon's threat as the room continues to grow colder, and the rift in front of him is fully suppressed enough to disappear.

"A threat on me? And my new clients? After you have broken the laws in a neutral zone and refuse to take immediate punishment for it? I cannot continue doing business with someone who lies and does not respect the rules that we have set in the past. If you break them now without any remorse, how can I trust your word on anything else?"

The Demon's eyes look far more confused than any other emotion, as it makes no sense why Alveron would say such a thing.

Even if this creature has managed to gain countless new worlds, multiplying the monster's influence tenfold, it wouldn't stand a chance against even their 1st Class forces. Deploying Noble Demons would not even be necessary against the strongest foreign forces like Alveron out in these far-out Sectors. The natural strength gap between Demons and lower races is far too large.

The sole reason they don't take over every world by force is that it would cost more energy to come out here than they would gain in draining these worlds. The Demon's words are true, the fact that they are still thriving out here is pure chance and privilege.

Only thirty thousand years have passed since their last disagreement that resulted in a war, and the Demons know Alveron cannot afford another one like that... So, the creature's actions are purely illogical.

The Silver Knight's armor set looks as though it's powering down, unwilling to engage any further, and this makes Helix feel a tinge of fear.

A strong opponent he can deal with, but an illogical or unpredictable one? That is a true enemy to be scared of.

Outside the Asteroid prison, the four generals follow a set of instructions with smiles across their faces, especially after hearing the threats on them indirectly from the Demons within this prison.

The overwhelming cold feeling that could be felt from within was the activation of Maria's 3rd Ranked Up buff, making a massive royal blue soul energy form appear above the prison. She does not even bother to let her angel wings sprout from her back, nor does she need to take out her soul weapon.

The task at hand will be easy enough just using her ice magic.

Abby follows her lead, activating her 3rd Ranked Up buff on the other side of the asteroid and pulling out her staff to amplify her range.

A green aura envelops the entire asteroid and pierces through the prison base with ease, tinting everyone's vision green.

Thousands of spirit arms come out from Arie's back, and they begin creating dense light purple arrows made of Demonic Soul Energy.
