A week after the battle, the people in the world was in turmoil as the existence of Demon Lords was revealed. They were also informed that Demon Lords fighting was the cause of the world shaking a week ago. Many curious magicians went to the battlefield and saw nothing but ruins on it, No, ruins would be understatement. An Demon's aura could level a country, and a lot of it was poured when Guy and Milim was fighting so the destruction it brought to the land was immense.
The names of the Demon Lords was also released, people kept the names in their mind in case there is something that they would need to avoid when the Demon Lord's name is connected. Various countries jeered at the existence of Demon Lords as they made their army march, they wanted to take the fame from defeating a demon lord but the result was pathetic. They were massacred without even the demon lords appearing. The names are arranged by seats..
•Guy Crimson - Lord of Darkness, Daemon.
•Ramiris - Fairy Queen, Pixie.
•Sona Sitri - Ice Queen, Primordial Devil.
•Milim Nava - Destroyer, Dragonoid.
That was the order of the seats, the Ancient Demon Lords are now established, people were scared just by seeing their races and titles. Demon Lords also took some lands as their territory, people need to pay respect to the ruler of the land before they could live in there. Guy took the whole North for himself, Milim took the border of Jura Forest, while Sona took the whole Jura Forest for herself.
The place that Xander and Sona lived for a whole millennium was actually the Jura Forest, they developed it without knowing, only thinking that its just a large forest that would be destroyed in the future. The most dangerous land was the Jura Forest, as it was the place where Disaster Class monsters are born everyday like they are just cabbage. The people then heard that the Demon Lord Sona was the one who poured her mana to make the forest dangerous.
Guy released every feats they did making the people more scared and awe at them, this move of Guy was a declaration for Rudra to start their game already. Rudra immediately moved and sent his Saint Class soldiers to Milim's place since it was close to their kingdom. Milim didn't care about their game and just beat the enemies till they retreated as Rudra changed his plans. Entering the Capital of Forgotten Dragon was dangerous so he went to Jura Forest where Sona was located.
Though they didn't even make it to the center of the forest before their army was devastated by various monsters that guard the land. Xander ordered the monsters to guard the land as intruders are hassle, they obeyed without complaining as it was the order from their creator.
Rudra returned to his kingdom and upgraded it until he gathered every country and turned his kingdom into an Empire. He became the emperor of eastern empire, as he began collecting talented people to train and make them powerhouses on their own. Xander and Sona didn't care about the game between the two as they just continued their usual life, Xander still didn't release the knowledge of Light Novels and Manga to Ramiris as he wanted her to mature.
In a particular day, the humans were alarmed by a news. The Demon Lords will have a meeting, the humans gave name to the meeting as 'Walpurgis Banquet' the gathering of all the strong beings made them cower as they thought it represents a bad omen for the future. They just prayed that they wouldn't be included in the wrath of demon lords. Guy also informed the world where are they going to have the gathering.
Many people were interested in the so called demon lords so they plan to go to the meeting place, they want to know if they really are legits not just con man who wanted to play with the people's hearts. There are also people who wanted to join the council and was hoping that the demon lords are reasonable.

The day of Walpurgis*
Guy was waiting in the room as he was just closing his eyes. He smiled when he sensed a powerful aura traveling at a speed that defied logic before arriving at the place. "I came!" Guy smiled at that familiar voice as he turned his attention towards the being, "You're early today huh, Milim?" Guy said as Milim just laugher haughtily. "Ku Ha Ha Ha, I'm excited to meet the others you see!" Guy just chuckled, he still treat Milim a child.
Another second later a disturbance in spiritrons were sensed as Ramiris warped herself to this place. She started flying as buzzing all around the room "Hello, guys!" She waved at the others as Milim just smirked at her. "I was just a second late! I was busy anyway and all you do is laze around!" Ramiris said as Milim took a stepback at Ramiris's blow.
The two started bickering with each other as Guy just watched amused. If not for their auras then people wouldn't be able to believe that they are demon lords. Guy shook his head as he waited for the last one but even after 5 minutes they aren't there yet. Guy scrunched his forehead as he asked Ramiris, "Ramiris, where's the two?" Ramiris thought for a moment before calling Xander. Guy peeked at their conversation as his lips twitched at what he heard.
"Hello? Xander, Sona? Where are you?" Ramiris asked as a voice was heard. "Hm? Is there something Ramiris? Why are you calling?" Ramiris was pissed by his words. "Hah?! Did you forgot already? We are having a banquet today!?" Ramiris shouted as Xander just yawned. "Oh.. right, is it today? Then we'll be there, please wait" Xander then cut the call as Ramiris closed her eye trying to calm herself.
After a few seconds Xander and Sona arrived, they greeted them before taking a seat. Meanwhile outside the room, hundred meters away from it, a lot of magicians can be seen staring at the room with sweat of their foreheads. The mere pressure the room express is enough to make them back out, they wanted to enter and look at the so called Demon Lords but it seems like they were too naive.
Though among those people there is a person who was staring at the room with serious eyes, he was not fazed by the pressure that is the room emitting, he is also strong enough to beat most of the demon lords. The person was thinking hard about something, "Why is Sona Sitri in this verse?" The man muttered as he thought that he wouldn't arrive in any conclusion unless he looked for himself.
He made up his mind and walked towards room making the people amazed by his guts, he can still walk even though the pressure was strong enough to pulverized any of them. "Did another person get transported in this world too?" The man muttered some words that the people didn't understand as he walked towards the room.
He entered the room and saw 7 people in there, he was weirded out by the one and didn't know the other. The Demon Lords stopped in their talk as they turned their attention to him. The man ignored the others as he stared at Xander, he felt that this man is not normal so he was wary of him. Though he is still not scared as he was confident on his ability.
He stared at Xander for a few seconds before asking. "Did ROB also brought you here?" Xander raised an eyebrow before shaking his head. "No.. the one who brought me to another world is already dead. I 'killed' it" Xander said with an innocent smile on his face. The man didn't believe in his words as he know just how powerful those beings are, even with his ability he wouldn't be able to hope to defeat it. "Are you the one who brought her here?" The man asked as the other demon lords are starting to get irritated.
"Hey! Who are you to suddenly barge in like that?!" Ramiris shouted while pointing at him, Guy and Milim also released their aura to intimidate the gutsy person. "Me? You can call me Luke, I came to eliminate the anomaly of this world" Luke said as the aura that Guy and Milim released suddenly vanished. They widened their eyes as they stared at him seriously, "You.. you're not from this world..?" Ramiris pointed that out as Luke merely smiled.
Luke turned serious as Xander stood up, "You're calling me an anomaly right?" Xander asked while pointing at his body. Luke nodded his head. "I can absorb the power of anything I eat. I can't be bothered to remember everything I've ever eaten, but gods are just desserts for me" Luke said as Xander raised an eyebrow. Xander was surprise when Luke suddenly appeared infront of him.
"How did you do that?" Xander asked.
"I ate the space between us. There is nothing I can't eat" It seems this person could teleport. As if to show how relaxed he was, he didn't even attacked. Xander responded in kind. He threw a holy fire at him as he just opened his mouth and ate it.
Xander was even more interested in that as he threw a lot of things to the guy, he was curious if he would blow if he overate things, or he would be overwhelmed by the energy he ate so he feed him a lot of things.
"And that doesn't just mean living things or space either." The man continued, "For example, I can even eat cause and effect! That is my power! I can devour the process and get exactly the results I want!"
As the monster disappeared, Xander clicked his tongue, "Pathetic, I was interested in your power but if your just gonna be arrogant then your just a waste" Xander spat at the ground where the man's body was lying with his eyes white. "Hoh, I felt that he was really dangerous and you just killed him like that, you're really broken huh?" Guy said while stepping on the man's body. Ramiris also inspected the body and found out that it was just a empty shell, there are no spirit or soul.
"So looks like people you kill really die for good huh?" Guy said. "Its pretty obvious that dead don't comeback to life. I thought that was common sense" Xander said while tilting his head.
Death was irreversible. Coming back in life was impossible in the first place. Anyone that appeared to have come back to life must not have been truly dead in the first place. That's what death meant to Xander. Nothing that contradicted this common sense could occur within his realm of perception. If someone or something was killed by someone else, there was a chance they were still alive, but if they were killed by Xander, they were absolutely, undeniably dead. There was no way they could come back to life.
"Well, that was anticlimatic. Let's continue our banquet!" Guy said as they returned to the round table. "What is the purpose of this banquet again?" Xander asked confused why they are here in the first place. "Huh? Didn't Ramiris mentioned? We are going to have fun! So party!" Milim said while jumping in the air. "Fuck.. I should have expected this" Xander said as Guy chuckled.
"Actually, there is something serious I want to talk about. You know how Rudra has the Ultimate Skill given by Veldanava?" Guy asked as they nodded their heads. Guy already mentioned that to them, "Why? Is there something wrong with it?" Ramiris asked while tilting her head. "Veldanava talked to me about it, there is a thing that is special about that skill. It can open a gate to heaven that would pour unlimited amount of angels" Guy explained as they listened.
"You're not saying that it would fall to us right?" Ramiris asked while Guy just smirked. "Of course no.. it just wanted to annihilate everything on the land" Guy said as Ramiris was dumbfounded. "Wha! There is no way we can let it be!" Ramiris said, "That is why this circle was made. Quite ironic isn't it? We the Demon Lords are the ones defending the earth while the good natured angels wanted to destroy it" Guy said as everyone nodded.
"When are they going to drop?" Sona asked as Guy shook his head. "That's the problem, even I don't know when" Guy said as everyone just stared at him. "I'm not kidding." The stopped and started thinking carefully. "We only need to stop the destruction of the world right? Its not like we need to protect every living being on it" Xander said. "Right. Humans do reproduce a lot, say how about we just battle those in the top of the heireracy and just let the other country handle the rest" Guy suggested.
"Hmm.. I'm fine with that, as long as the world is still standing fine" Ramiris said as Milim was already dozing off from this boring topic. "How about you Milim?" Guy asked as Milim woke up before nodding her head. Guy turned to Sona who just closed her eyes before nodding. "Then's its decided! Let's just wait for that time" Guy said as the banquet finally started, Guy looked at Xander expectantly as he just smirked and released the Dragon Liquor from his storage.
"Ohh!! I've been waiting for this!" Guy said as he immediately took a cup and started to drink. Xander didn't drink yet as he just ate with Sona, "You won't drink, Xander?" Guy asked as Xander just refused, left with no choice, Guy let the two maids drink the beverage as the hummed in satisfaction.
"Xander, aren't you going to build a kingdom of your own?" Ramiris asked as she devour the food in the table, Guy also looked at him interested in his decision. "Nah, I thought about that first but decided against it" Xander said while placing a steak on his mouth. The two primordials learned how to cook from Xander as Sona was a mess in the kitchen. "Why? With your power and intelligence, it wouldn't be hard to run a small country" Guy asked.
"Well.. its such a hassle" Xander said as the demon lords sighed. "I should've expected that, you treat all things as hassle anyway" Guy said before continuing to focus on his drink, he wanted to know the skill to make this liquor as he want to drink this thing everyday, Xander didn't really give him a huge stock so the one battle Xander gave him was already finished.
"I mean, how could you expect to waste my time with Sona just to run a troublesome country? A country is not worthy of my time. Instead I'll pour it all to Sona, though I already missed Utaha" Xander said as everyone sighed, Milim tilted her head and asked. "Who is Utaha?" Sona was the one who explained to Milim who is Utaha as she became interested in the girl. The banquet continued for the rest of the day as they just discussed about their everyday life.
