144 Volcano Eruption (1/2)

In a throne room of a castle in the territory of the Sphinx Dukedom, where there was a virtual map showing the state of the continent and the demonic horde that was razing everything on his path, there were three people and two of them were discussing.

One of the people arguing was Oliver, with his impressive wings made of lava, but unlike his usual imposing attitude, he was adopting a defensive posture against the word that the man in front of him was throwing.

The man was young and his face was very delicate, his hair was black and his body looks weak but the power inside it was not any least inferior to the one on Oliver. He has three pairs of wings on his back that were made of black fog.

The wings seem to be able to hide the existence of the man to the point that, if you were not strong enough, you could not see him even if he was in front of you, but that was not all, there was extremely destructive energy running through them.

Oliver was very arrogant, but the reason for the man lashing out to him was something he could not excuse himself so easily.

He was very strong and his army had twenty-seven Rank 4 individuals and dozens of thousand of Heavenly race members, but the first encounter with the demonic horde has cost him greatly.

Counting the Angel of Supremacy that died trying to close the portal, he has lost nine of his Rank 4 warriors, and more than twenty thousand Heavenly race members and the worst part was that every single one of those deaths became fuel to the demons, increasing their power.

The Angelic Paragon and the other two Rank 4 Angels that escaped, were severely injured and they will not be able to fight anytime soon, so his military might was weakened by a third and if he were to fight on his own with the demonic horde now, he will fail so he was forced to ask for the help of the other two Dukes.

At the start, the Dukes were very happy to help him, since like any member of the Heavenly race they loath any type of fiend and they value greatly the life of their people but just before this meeting where they were supposed to decide how to fight against the demonic horde, they discovered about the prophesy and the fact about Oliver hiding it from them.

The man did nothing to control his anger, and the moment they meet Oliver, he immediately started to criticize him.

”If you weren't so selfish, then so many of our people would not have died!” The man's words were very harsh, especially when they are said to a member of the Heavenly race.

Even though he tried to maintain his control, Oliver finally lost his calm when he hears those words.

”Martin, you hypocrite bastard, if you have been in my situation you would have done the same, so don't think you can act so mighty now!.” Oliver's wings unfolded completely and the natural energies of the world raged along with them.

The man named Martin was not a peaceful person, and when he saw Oliver's action, his wings also unfolded, making the natural energies on his side extremely volatile.

”You dare to speak like that to me after what you have done!” Martin's expression was fierce as the energy on his body surged.

Before the two of them could do anything a voice was heard.

”Enough”

Accompanying the voice a soft power appeared and unlike the one that both Oliver and Martin were generating, its momentum was very unimpressive but it made the natural energy inside the room return to their normal state, wrestling away control from the other two.

Both Oliver and Martin look at the third person inside the room, and unlike the way they behave among themselves, neither of them dares to be aggressive with him, especially when they saw those eyes, one black and the other white.

The third Duke was a mature man with a muscular body, he has short white hair and a beard that accentuate his age, but despite that, the vitality and life force on his body burned with just as much power as the ones of the other two. This made clear that the man aspect, was not due to the passage of time affecting him, but due to him choosing to be seen like that.

On his back, there were three pairs of wings made of sword's blades, with the three of the left been dark blue color and the ones in the right dark red.
