Chapter 200: The News About The Demon Lords
Axel's PoV:
My teammates, Reinbach and I were now inside the royal palace with King Jonathan and his family.
We were at the dining room in the royal palace. We sat at a huge dining table while the maids in the royal palace were cooking food for us.
Also, Distere had offered to help in regards with cooking our food since his specialty was cooking so he wasn't with us in the dining room.
Since the king and his family were inside the dining room with my teammates, Reinbach and me, I decided to ask the king of Delltra all he knew about the demon lords and the demon army.
"King Jonathan, do you know any news about the Demon Lords and their army?"
I asked Jonathan, the king of Delltra.
"I do. It's the information about the demon lords that I have obtained recently that caused the demon lords to send their demon army towards our kingdom to silence us. As what they say, the dead man tells no tales."
Ah, yes. The demon lords had indeed made a good move by trying to eliminate the King to stop him from circulating the information about them.
It would have been a good move if it wasn't for the fact that I have killed the demons that the demon lords had sent to destroy the kingdom of Delltra.
Since the treaty had already expired, the demon lords had started to make their move against the kingdoms near their territory.
The kingdom of Delltra was a rare case since the kingdom was situated far from the demon country yet they were attacked due to them possessing information about the demon lords.
"Can you tell me all of the information you know about the demon lords? That is if you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. I was already planning to pass the information I have obtained to the rest of the kingdoms especially the Holy Church since you were staying there."
King Jonathan said as he tap his finger on the table and a small stack of paper appeared out of thin air.
Did the King Of Delltra just use a space magic skill that could store items and such?
I guessed that was the case since King Jonathan didn't possess any storage ring or any artifact that could store inanimate objects.
King Jonathan had planned to give the small stack of papers to each of the neighboring kingdoms or that's what he had told me.
Before King Jonathan could send his envoy to pass the small stack of papers towards the neighboring kingdoms, the demon lords' army had attacked them which left the King with no choice but to postpone sending the messages, and instead, he commanded his sword knights to fight against the demon lords' army.
King Jonathan passed me all of the papers that contained information about the demon lords and so I received it and greeted him with my utmost gratitude.
I didn't receive it for free since I didn't want to so I gave King Jonathan and his family some pendants that were legendary rank artifacts that provided the wearer some protection.
Those legendary rank artifacts that I had given to King Jonathan and his family were some of the artifacts that I have stolen from Mathew.
Mathew wasn't reacting or anything after I have given the legendary rank artifacts to King Jonathan and his family so I don't have to worry about upsetting Mathew.
After I gave the legendary artifacts to King Jonathan and his family, I then proceeded to read the texts that were written on the small stack of papers that King Jonathan have given me.
After I had read what was written on the small stack of papers containing information about the demon lords, I found out several things that I didn't know about.
As I had expected, the demon lords had already started to make their move against the nearby human kingdoms and there was even a report written on the paper that Eldion somehow withstood several attacks from the demon army.
King Jonathan had only found out that the reason why Eldion wasn't destroyed by the demons' attacks was because of some criminal slaves that the king of Eldion have enslaved to fight against the demon lords' army.
Of course, King Jonathan didn't know that I was the one who ordered the criminal slaves to defend Eldion from the attacks of the demon lords' army.
There was also a rumor that the three demon ancestors of the demon race have started to make a move so the guardians of each race didn't remain dormant and the guardians of each race retaliated against the demon ancestors.
It was a good thing that there were guardians of each race that was similar in terms of power towards the demon ancestors so I didn't have to worry about fighting against the demon ancestors.
Despite the demon ancestors being powerful, I didn't see that much merit in fighting against them since I wouldn't obtain a wish from the Gods if I defeated the demon ancestors, unlike the demon lords.
Also, it wasn't the job of the heroes to defeat the demon ancestors but instead, the job of the ancestors of each race.
For that reason, I didn't have to think about the demon ancestors but instead, I have to receive as much information I could obtain that was about the demon lords.
Information was crucial when fighting against an enemy several times more powerful than me so I decided to outwit the demon lords if I managed to meet and fight against them.
I also found out that despite some of the demon lords started to attack some of the kingdoms, the main demon lord was Kronos, the father of Pedonar, and also the demon lord who possessed the pride sin didn't attack any kingdoms yet.
But, it was confirmed that Kronos had commanded the demons under his command to attack the kingdoms but he had yet to make his move against the kingdoms.
The demon lord of lust had started to make her move towards some of the kingdoms near the demon country except for Eldion.
The demon lord of lust was capable of enslaving a lot of humans and controlling them due to the power of her sin, which was controlling her opponents through seduction.
The demon lord of lust must be one hell of a thot since she was able to enslave a lot of humans just by her looks. The possibility that the demon lord of lust was a loli was very low since only a matured woman could seduce a lot of humans while only a few humans would be seduced by a loli.
I don't have to worry about Satomi being seduced by the demon lord of lust since he hated girls with huge breasts. Satomi said that flat is justice but I didn't care about what he said next since as long as he wouldn't betray our group, I am okay with how weird his personality was.
The demon lord of greed had stolen a lot of valuables from a nearby kingdom and was still have yet to be seen which was understandable since the demon lord of greed specialized in stealing instead of fighting.
Well, compared to Mathew Light, the demon lord of greed was nothing since he couldn't use a [Steal] skill that allowed him to steal from a far distance unlike Mathew's [Universal Steal].
If the demon lord of greed were confronted by my teammates and me, then I would only ask Mathew to fight a one-on-one fight against the demon lord of greed since Mathew alone would be enough to fight against the demon lord of greed.
The demon lord of sloth had yet to make his move and he didn't even send his subordinates unlike the demon lord of pride. I don't know if it was because the demon lord of sloth was lazy to even make a move against other races but it was good for us since we wouldn't need to waste our energy fighting against him for now.
There wasn't that information about the demon lord of envy but I had the feeling that she would be one of the most dangerous demon lords other than the demon lord of pride.
The demon lord of wrath had already started his massacre and all of the places he had been to, was destroyed without leaving any beings alive. He was the most ruthless amongst all of the demon lords.
The demon lord of gluttony had engaged on a devouring spree as he devoured all of the beings he had come across. There was information about the demon lord of gluttony's sin ability being the same as my skill that allowed the stats and skills of the flesh of a being that I have devoured to be acquired.
It was by far one of the strongest skills that had immense potential.
There was other information I had found about the demon lords but other than the measly amount of information I had found about their abilities and activities, most of the information that was on the small stack of paper were the kingdoms affected by the demon armies' attack.
As I finished reading all of the information written on the small stack of paper, King Jonathan, the royal family, my teammates and I started to eat our lunch since Distere and the maids had finished cooking our food.
