:Confrontation

Once again, the round table of the demon castle gathered. Berserker Demon King, on the other hand, wasn't present because he wasn't summoned—a punishment for his previous drastic actions.

"Shall we begin?" said the soothing voice of the peng elf queen.

"From what we've seen, it appears the demon kings are now active. They've all stopped their attacks on the angels and are now facing something else."

As the demon with a centipede around his neck spoke, the table was quiet. The demon kings' activity could only mean they're now hunting a potential threat.

"Is it the boy?" asked the succubus summoner.

"We're not sure. The boy took out Demon King Barnas by manipulating their king somehow for his army, but the other boy..."

"He has unimaginable strength. He took out the Shadow King by himself. He's the potential threat," the last four words came out as intended—cold.
