Even though they were strong by the standard of the current era and their powers kept increasing after joining the conquering king, but they were still lacking and weak as children compared to their ancestors.
Dozens of evolved demihumans were lined up on either side of the throne room, while the conquering king himself sat on a divine adamant throne at the end of the room.
There were no guards or soldiers in the room, but only because it wasn't necessary. All present were mighty, the best of the best of their respective races.
Despite being in important surroundings and surrounded by the top commanders of his entire army, the conquering king was lying lazily on his throne and drinking wine from a bottle larger than a human being.
His sword was propped on the throne and he was completely relaxed and posture was full of openings, but every evolved demihuman in the room could sense that he was ready to kill anyone who would step forward to challenge him.
