"Is there anything else you'd wish to know about me?" Andrew mused with a smile as he looked at Lyrael who was still in shock of what she had just heard. Andrew had nothing else to hide from her not to mention how Sevyn was fond of her, he decided to come out truthfully.
'The very scourge that plagues these lands is as a result of your own doing.' In her mind, she already had a somewhat skeptical view point of Andrew before but now, she was completely detested in him.
To think that their problems emerged because of a result he did thousands of years ago and now it came to haunt them all.
"But why? Why would you unleash such a monster to the world?" She posed, her figure trembling as she hastily rose to her feet. "Even if I didn't save her back then, someone else would have assumed the role and the problem would still be present."
"After all there can't be light without darkness." His tone indicated that he didn't care that much about the so called balance that he was trying to insinuate, merely looking at it like some form of medium for entertainment.
"You have already met Nephilim, a tier seven demon back there. This should act as a form of reminder that you should focus more on what is infront of you rather than something you can't comprehend."
"Are you a demon?" She asked with a hint of wariness in her tone. In her mind, the only reason as to why he would do all of that is because he too was a demon himself. "A demon? No, not even close but I can be if you'd like."
"I'm simply human, just like you." With a brief demonstration, he holstered her figure above the ground by a couple of inches as a bright light infested her line if sight, making her unable to see.
To the other two ladies, Lyrael's figure was wrapped in a bright hazy light which lasted for about a couple of minutes before it wore off.
"So as for the matters concerning the crack, it would seem that the hydra has been able to sense faint demonic beings crawl out however it was capable of disposing them rather quickly and keeping it off the public radar however more powerful ones keep on coming out."
"It would be better to launch the Morvathian Dust into the crack to hold them off." Sevyn mused as the hologram of the demonic crack was brought into display.
"That would buy you time however the Morvathian Dust would wear off overtime this only delaying the inevitable. It would be better to head down there and confront it head on."
Andrew mused as he sunk back into his seat. "Why not modify the hydra better? It already has lightning, I'm pretty sure with another contagion, it would be immune to demonic aura similar to the slime you gifted Sevyn."
Ashley posed as Lyrael came back to her senses. She was baffled with what had happened, fearing that she had been infected with the corrupted mana from a demon but to her surprise, she found herself have broken into the seventh tier.
Such a feat was remarkable which made her skeptical of the pair. "I already did but still, there are beings that are much stronger than that hydra at the moment. As for the girls, they're still one member short."
"You- How were you able to..." Lyrael asked warily taking her seat on the table. She had heard most of what they had discussed and she was already privy to the whole demonic crack thus this didn't come as shocking to her.
She looked out of place with how paranoid she seemed amidst the rest. Sevyn had already first hand faced such an event thanks to Ashley and now she took faced one thanks to Andrew.
"What? I thought that you wanted to get stronger or am I wrong?" Lyrael frantically shook her head and fell silent, chosing to observe their actions. "I've already started to facilitate movement from Sablestone to Miragestia but that will take some time."
"Probably two months." Sevyn concluded as she sat back into her seat. "About several missiles fueled with Morvathian Dust should buy you more than enough time."
Lyrael was perplexed when she kept on hearing the Morvathian Dust without knowing what exactly it was. "What about Aewdwen?" Ashley posed before the three burst into a short laughter.
"It's evident that Leopold is contaminated along with Torin but if he takes the serum then it'll halt the developments of it, not stop it as a whole. But that also depends on the fact that he takes it to begin with."
"What about the attacks from the demons?" Sevyn posed which brought back Lyrael's attention. "I'm already working on another plague that will fend them off for some time but in the mean time, several androids are already waiting for them all over."
"Both in Sablestone and Miragestia." Sevyn was pleased with this response as she worried about this. After all she had been gifted the duty by Ashley herself thus she took it upon herself to see it through.
"Since we have you, we have a surprise to show you." Andrew mused as he got off his seat to which Ashley shortly followed. Sevyn was baffled but amused that the two would have something special for her.
Lyrael tailed them and the four if them made their way back to the airship that the pair had used to come to the meeting. It was slick, with two thrusters on each side and a wide body with a Bugatti logo on it.
Making their way to the back of it, a hanger opened down to reveal a chic car out of it. It was dowsed in red and black, it's designs immaculate and it's body kit envious t look at. Truly a work of art from the Porsche Spyder coupled with a beautiful big black bow on top.
Sevyn had a look of excitement and joy as she drew closer to the car, with one of the androids handing her a set of keys to the car.
"Thank you Andrew and Ashley." She squealed, a very unqueenly like gesture for her but her joy ignored such beautides. Jumping into the car, she turned on the engine which gave a sharp roar that startled Lyrael.
She revved it up a couple of times before making her way out as she bombarded the pair with gratitudes and thanks galore. "I think it's a fitting gift for a lady as beautiful as you." Andrew added making her demeanor falter as a faint blush could be seen on her face.
'Are these two?' Lyrael mused before pushing the idea aside, thinking of it as a misunderstanding. But what she saw next confounded her beliefs totally.
"Chuu~" A passionate kiss elicited between Andrew and Sevyn which three her off completely. 'These two are in a relationship! But...' She found what she had discoverer both jarring for her to process.
'What did Ashley think of this but then again, she didn't seem all that fazed when it happened?! No! To think that Sevyn was ina relationship was something I hadn't expected.' She still couldn't wrap her head around that fact as a whole.
As if to taunt her, she could see how brazen Andrew was with his touches, probing her body to his content which evoked small moans of raw lust, waiting to burst out. This was too much for her.
"I'm sorry my Queen and my lords but I have to take my leave." And with that, she made her exit unrestrained. She was the Saintess thus it was within her obligation to sever herself from the filfth of this world.
Making her unable to engage in any form of sin whatsoever such as romanticism of any sort which could lead to fornication. She had to maintain her purity through and through given that this was the life that she chose.
"You've already sorted the bases in Miragestia, right. I do think that it is about time you meet the ladies I've been ranting about." Andrew mused as he let his arm go which was softly pressing on her buttocks, her purple eyes locked onto his.
"As for the cars, it should draw all kinds of attention and help speed up the process but even this will be lacking on major fronts. It would be better to make the jump all together."
Rather than having regular roads, Andrew had already mused of having of using maglev technology spiced up with mana to hasten the process. But for this to happen, Sablestone would require all kinds of experts but luckily for him, he didn't need to train any considering he had androids.
But launching such a project out of the blue would rouse too much attention thus he would do that much later when Sablestone had safely relocated.
"As for matter concerning the crack, what really is at the bottom of that trench?" She decided to ask as she glanced at the car. She was infatuated with it's design making her wish that she could ride it right now.
"Demonic entities of all kinds that you could think of. But I wouldn't want to ruin what is to come for you, now would I?" Sevyn took it as his teasing which ticked her off but given how playful he was, she brushed it aside.
"Please, just tell me..." She pleaded, her eyes on the verge of tearing up however her response was a pinch from Andrew to her cheeks. "It would seem that Ashley has been influencing you to some extent."
Backing away from his grip, she lightly held her cheek. "You didn't have to be so hard on me." Her pouts serving as a reminder to Ashley. "I swear that I didn't influence her." Ashley on the other hand pleaded to which she was thanked with a pinch as well.
"Really?" Andrew posed as a playful smile played on his lips. "Then it would seem that I'd have to punish both of you." He posed as he wrapped his arms both around their figures and making their way back to the palace interiors.
...
With path being smooth so far, Nephilim was bothered with a question that had been playing on her mind and knowing the answer was the only way to satiate it. However before she could bring it up, a voice rang through.
"It would seem that we have some company." One of the coachmen posed as he got off and made his way forward. In their path lay a gigantic tree to which he was able to lift with ease and pushing it to the side.
A tier four demonic expert wasn't bothered by such a challenge however before he could take his next set of steps back to the carriage, his vision went black and before he could tell, he was dead.
The screams of the other coachman could be heard as he clashed with his opponents. 'There's four of them, one of them hiding with the other three on infantry.' Nephilim concluded as she waited for it to die down.
*Twenty minutes later*
The life of the other demon came to an end leaving the carriage completely unprotected. Nephilim was about to get out and make quick work of them however she was stopped by Briadela.
"Don't bother yourself with such insects." She mused beneath her veil as she gracefully flicked her fingers.
"Come on out, demonic queen, we know you're there! You bitc-!" One of them before finishing his statement popped like a bubble ending his life instantly. The other two raised their guard only to be met with the same fate shortly after.
As for the archer, she didn't fare well either as her senses urged her to run as far away as possible , her body betrayed her as she made her way to the cart. Her eyes were bland and empty but control over her body had long been squandered by Briadela.
And just like that the carriage kept on moving as they would run into small brigades of humans but they were made quick work off till they set foot into the demonic wastelands.
"Excuse me, my Queen but how did you come to know Sir Andrew?" Nephilim asked as the two made their way back to the lands they were familiar with.
"Andrew is a vital person I met long ago, if it weren't for him then I wouldn't be here. Saving my life like he did back then. At the time he never had any motives to do so and it was majorly attributed to luck but for that, I am ever greatful for it."
"He was a human but he turned on his kind at the time to save me. At first I thought that he was just another meal but as time passed on, I realized that he wasn't human."
"He never aged along with his profound knowledge of predicting the future and gifting me the the power to raise the demonic faction to it's current standing. But he had other matters to attend to thus he left but he's back."
