1003 Chapter 1003- Birth of a New Light

Behind Agramon, came three warriors who stepped forward from the gate at the same time. All three of them carried incredible auras far more powerful than many of the high ranking demons here and were decked out in exquisite gears.

The three were the direct subordinates of the Demon Lord of Envy and fearsome [S] rank beings.

All of them stood behind Agramon, their expression filled with superiority when subjected to countless envious gazes.

Who here didn't want to become the most trusted and direct subordinate of one of the most powerful beings in this world? An accomplishment like that would instantly bolster their position to new heights.

Regretfully, only those three beings had the right to stand next to the Demon Lord.

"Garvex" Agramon called out.

Immediately, a being with ogre like frame, with three eyes and obsidian like body stepped forward.

"He is Garvex, a Mak'thar— species who are called the master of evil eyes. He is the leader among the three subordinates of the Demon Lord and his right hand man who has been bestowed with the strongest [Edict]" Vordanaz's voice rang inside his head.

"You better not get on his bad side or else even those beings backing you cannot save you".

Simon nodded, it was good to have someone do the explaining for him.

"I Garvex first of the three, will now do the explaining. Today you all who serve lord Agramon have gathered for no other reason but to discuss the plan of conquering the central continent from this point on"...

"I know what you all have to say, we have already made the plan, what reason is there to change at this point? Your concerns are reasonable but we must change it. The reason for that is because of the news we got a couple of hours ago. The northern demon army which was being led by Lord Zantheros, Lord Khaveth and Lord Gargelios, have been... defeated"...

"!!!"...

Meanwhile, Simon stood behind Vordanaz, silently observing the chaos. Unlike the others, he wasn't well-versed in the history of this world or its wars went down. He had no idea who these three Prima Demon Archdukes were, nor did he fully grasp the gravity of their defeat.

"Who are these beings?" He could only turn to Vordanaz who had a mutual beneficial relationship with him.

Vordanaz shot him a sideways glance, clearly surprised at the question, but after a brief pause, he answered.

"The Prima Demon Archdukes are extremely ancient demons. Beings born during the reign of the Seven Primordial Demon Lords, they are considered the pinnacle of power within our kind, second only to the Demon Lords"...

"Their strength is immeasurable, their influence unparalleled. The fact that three of them were defeated simultaneously... it's unthinkable. To put it simply, their fall shakes the very foundation of our forces."

Simon furrowed his brows together as he processed the explanation. The room's panicked atmosphere suddenly made much more sense.

A new threat had emerged, and it was powerful enough to bring down beings of near-absolute strength.

The tension in the room grew unbearable. Finally, a low, hissing voice broke the silence.

"But how?" It came from a beast with three heads and a fiery body "How could such beings fall so suddenly? Who possesses the strength to defeat them? Could it be the Seraphims of Origin?"

For three Prima Demon Archdukes to fall, the opponent had to possess a power similar to the Demon Lords. Beings who possessed that kind of power could be easily counted with hands.

"No," Garvex shook his head, firmly denying the possibility.

"Our scouts and seers watching over them have confirmed that the two Seraphims of Origin have not descended. They remain in their Heavenly Palaces, watching as always."

If it was not the Serpahims of Origin either, then who could it be?

Garvex sighed deeply, as if the answer he was about to give weighed heavily on him.
