"Time to move," Dante said as he flew over the area, watching various people entering the scene. Dante had black hair and was dressed in a navy-blue suit as he observed people coming in.
"Approximately nine hundred energy points marked, but the number is rising alarmingly, they're not just clones like before," Voralith said in his thoughts, and he nodded, now hovering towards the palace, more precisely, towards Velryna's room.
"They've started to move, begin the plan," he said, and Voralith appeared in her small dragon form.
"I'll start marking the locations, start doing what you have to do," she said, and Dante nodded. "Aaralyn, what about the witches?" He questioned.
"Still nothing, master, but Yrniel warned that he didn't find Morgana," Aaralyn said, however. "It's alright, Sylvia must have found her."
"Nafiri?" He asked. "She bought several establishments, dividing most of the population from those who were on Ethan's side. Her economic and political strength has diminished, I assume we won't have any problems declaring him guilty of his crimes."
"Good, although it took longer than I planned," Dante said, sighing and sitting down, at the same time a stunningly beautiful woman appeared on the other side of the room.
"How do I look, darling?" She questioned. It was Velryna, wearing a long blood-red dress to match Dante's hair. Her blue-tinted eyes contrasted with her golden locks, creating a unique appearance. Adorned with chokers, bracelets, and rings, she looked like a noblewoman. However, on her thighs...
"An artwork of the highest caliber," Dante said, and he couldn't help but notice the open side of the dress, which had something...
"Do the daggers fit you well, especially with those legs," Dante said, looking deeply at one of the exposed thighs.
"The Storage Ring, did it hold the weapons?" Dante questioned, and she nodded. "Then, for now, we are prepared," Dante said and everyone in the room nodded. "Vex."
The succubus appeared from invisibility, quickly looking at her master. "Is it time for you to punish me?" She said cheerfully, and Dante's scowl appeared.
SLAP!
He gave a hefty smack on the demon girl's rear, making her scream "AHHHHHHHNNN," well... it was more of a moan, actually.
"You idiot," Velryna said.
"Pervert," Aaralyn said.
"Masoquist," Eldrax said, the latter appearing in her human form in front of Velryna, who hadn't met her yet.
"Who taught you that?" Dante asked hurriedly, and all eyes turned to the little girl with black hair.
"Huh? Who is this, Dante?" She quickly questioned, and Dante looked at her with a mischievous smile. 'Let's see her reaction.'
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to this little lady, didn't I? This is my little daughter," he said, smiling, and even Eldrax was surprised. After all, no one besides her deceased mother had called her daughter.
"D-daughter?!!" Aaralyn, Vex, and Velryna said quickly in shock! "Hm?" Eldrax was confused despite being surprised by Dante's words.
"Yes, yes, my little girl," Dante said and lifted Eldrax onto his shoulders. "Daddy's little girl," Dante said.
Eldrax was happy; for some reason, she felt... like she had a home.
"Damn it," Voralith muttered when she reappeared in the room. "It's all done," she said.
"Hm? As competent as ever," Dante said, and she gave him a furious look. "I'm not your servant!" She growled in anger.
"Yes, that's true, master, that's me. Please, give me lots of punishments, since she doesn't want them," Vex said, she was enjoying being punished... a lot more than she should.
"Perverted Vex," Eldrax said. "Yes, she is. She needs correction, hey, where did you learn that?" Dante said and turned to Vex, who blushed slightly. "Nah, better leave her alone," he added, and she stared at him as if two plasma rays were about to pierce her head at any moment.
"I'm leaving, girls, focus on your tasks," Dante said, leaving Eldrax on the ground and disappearing into the flames.
He was heading to Simon's quarters, where Team B was located, namely Simon, Nagasawa, and Sara.
He immediately entered the room and saw two women pointing a sword at his throat.
"Hello, ladies, I swear I didn't come to spy on anyone changing clothes," he said with a smile. Sara, however, muttered, "Annoying."
"How do you use the Walk Among Flames?!" Nagasawa roared, pointing the sword even closer to his throat.
Dante was a little uncomfortable having to lie, but before he could say anything, they heard the voice of an older man.
"I taught him," Simon said suddenly. To try to save Dante from big trouble, he couldn't talk to his beautiful women.
"You taught him? Spare me," Nagasawa said in disbelief, and Sara continued, "This technique can only be used by Dante and Valentina, how did you teach him that?" She questioned, and Simon laughed.
And then...
Simon turned into flames and appeared next to Dante. "See? It's simple," he said and 'Act like you're right, they won't buy it if it's just me showing off.' Dante smiled soon after, after all... Simon didn't use the Walk Among Flames.
"As he said, it's quite simple," Dante said and disappeared and reappeared next to Sara. "Easy, easy."
'You damn old man, you still have these tricks? Using spatial magic and illusion to fake the Walk and Fire to camouflage? You've gotten stronger, you old geezer!' Dante told him through communication magic.
'I never stopped training, Dante, especially when Morgana left.' They smiled at each other, and Dante again spoke aloud.
"Are you satisfied now? Now lower those swords, or do you not want more information about Dante?" He questioned, catching the attention of the women. "What do you mean?" Sara said seriously.
"It's like I said, our demon friends can give information about Dante, especially the one who is contracted with Ethan. After all, if Dante died, he definitely had his soul sent to Hell," Dante said about himself, and the two looked at each other. "You mean that..."
"Dante is dead, but alive in hell if the title of Demon King is maintained. Perhaps if we have this certainty, we can summon him to this world. We just need some information and bodies for sacrifice... And we'll have plenty of that soon," Dante said.
'If they fall for this lie, I deserve to win an Oscar. I'm doing a good job as an actor. Come on, girls, this husband of yours needs you to follow the plan!' Dante thought, seeing the expressions of the girls.
"Well, it's a good opportunity, besides, Arthur's instincts are very good," Simon commented, and they looked at Dante.
"Alright..."
'That's it, now they're motivated to kill even more demons and give me even more strength when I absorb them back. Come on, girls, you're mine! Hahaha, I can't wait for the moment when you prove that it's me, this will be my greatest trick!' Dante was already... a little unbalanced, but that wasn't a real problem.
"Let's go, it's starting," Dante said, listening to the voices outside, everyone nodded and left the room, heading straight to the coronation site.
