Chapter 18: Shalltear Bloodfallen

### Chapter 18: Shalltear Bloodfallen

Lucas brought the three women to the enormous arena on the sixth floor, preparing to welcome the upcoming companions. As the magic circle unfolded, a dazzling red light shot straight into the sky. Since it was random, Lucas was unsure who would be summoned. As the light gradually faded, a graceful figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

She was dressed in a soft-looking black evening gown. Over her upper body, she wore a short open-front jacket adorned with lace and ribbons, and long lace gloves covered her hands, leaving almost no skin exposed. Her perfectly beautiful features, which could only be described as those of an unparalleled beauty, were revealed, with skin as white as wax. Her silver hair was tied to one side, completely exposing her face, and her deep red eyes emitted a seductive and joyful gaze. Overall, she looked like a Gothic Lolita.

This person was none other than Shalltear Bloodfallen, the guardian of the first to third floors of the Great Tomb. Shalltear was created with a meticulous job structure, specialized in combat, and ranked first in overall combat power among the floor guardians of the Great Tomb. This was why she alone guarded three floors.

Lucas was very satisfied as he looked at the beauty before him. The defense of Nazarick would see a significant improvement. At this moment, Shalltear's eyes were lifeless, and a contract floated in front of her. Lucas hurriedly stepped forward to sign the contract. Behind him, shuna and Susu watched curiously, but it was just curiosity. However, Albedo's feelings were mixed. Her old rival had arrived so early, which was not good. For the past month, Albedo had monopolized her master, and her happiness had made her somewhat complacent. She had not yet secured her position as the main wife and could not let Shalltear's arrival disrupt things. She secretly made up her mind.

As before, when Lucas's blood dripped onto the contract, it turned into a stream of light and entered his forehead. Then, Shalltear's character settings appeared before his eyes. He quickly skimmed through them...

"Bisexual..."

"Necrophilia..."

Lucas's eye twitched, feeling that few NPCs in Nazarick were normal. Moreover, Shalltear's creator, Peroroncino, had given her quite peculiar preferences. Lucas made some simple modifications and then confirmed them. In the next moment, Shalltear's blood-red eyes regained their luster.

"Ah~ My master!"

"My only ruler, my beloved master!"

Saying this, Shalltear threw herself into Lucas's arms, rubbing her face against his chest. "Shalltear! Enough!" Albedo's eyes burned with anger. Hearing the familiar voice, Shalltear let go and turned to look.

"Oh, isn't this Albedo? So you're here too," Shalltear said disdainfully. Albedo sneered, "Hmph! I arrived a month earlier than you. You're too late."

"A month? So what, you don't seem to have changed much~"

"You..."

The tension between the two kept rising, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, creating an unusually eerie atmosphere.

"Enough!" Lucas growled, "This is not the time for quarrels." The two then restrained their auras, glanced at each other, and turned away with a cold snort.

"Shalltear!"

"Present!"

Shalltear immediately knelt on one knee, ready to receive orders.

"Continue to guard the first to third floors of Nazarick. Also, send your subordinates to gather intelligence outside. Here are a hundred True Eye Guards; place them in suitable locations."

"As you command, my master!"

"As for your current residence... I will soon prepare the Wax Chamber on the second floor for you. For now, stay on the ninth floor."

"Yes!"

"Albedo, you handle the arrangements."

"..."

With Lucas's orders, everyone became busy again. Back in his room, Lucas calmly checked Shalltear's character panel.

After carefully reviewing the character panel, Lucas was secretly amazed. He couldn't defeat her. Albedo was absolute defense, and Shalltear was absolute strength. With the two of them, the territory was well protected. At least, dealing with the neighboring Clayman would be more than enough.

Speaking of Clayman, he was currently worried about the upcoming Demon Lord Banquet. In a room with no electricity, Clayman was looking out the window, muttering to himself.

"Why is this happening? Could my plan have been exposed?"

"It doesn't make sense. Grumid had just started acting."

At this moment, a black portal appeared behind Clayman. Misary stepped out.

"Lord Clayman, the Demon Lord Banquet has begun."

Clayman snapped out of his thoughts, nodded, and followed Misary into the portal.

On the other side of the portal was a circular conference room. A huge round table was surrounded by ten chairs. Sitting at the head was the Black Primordial, Guy Crimson. Also present were the Destroyer Tyrant - Milim Nava, the Labyrinth Fairy - Ramiris, the Earth's Wrath - Dagruel, the Fake Demon Lord - Roy Valentine, the Sleeping Ruler - Dino, the Platinum Sword King - Leon Cromwell, the Sky Queen - Frey, and the Lion King - Carrion. Finally, the Puppet Master - Clayman arrived.

At this moment, all ten Demon Lords were present.

"Oh, it seems I'm late."

Clayman walked to his seat unhurriedly.

"No matter, the timing is just right."

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin this meeting."

With Guy's words, the Demon Lord Banquet officially began.
