Omega Summoner

Adrian raised his hands and all of the attention suddenly turned towards him. The whole stadium went silent when they saw who raise the hand. Some even thought that he was overconfident because the time for questions have yet to arrive.

"Yes? May we know what you would like to say? Champion of the Twin Gods and Lord of Avalon, Equinox." Elizabeth Shark stated as she clearly knows how Adrian looks. In fact, they are already aware of his look because they invited the Daemos for a reason.

"What is the role of us, Daemos, in this battle? We are already spread too thin because of the sudden descent of a dark god years ago. Numerous spatial rifts started to appear in the main world ever since the humans summoned a dark god to our world. We are busy as it is just closing them." Adrian stated.

He wanted to know what the council really wants from the Daemos. They would not invite someone just because they lack fighting power. With the condescending and bloodlust aimed at them, Adrian could clearly feel that a unanimous vote was not cast to have them participate in this council.

"Thank you for the question. We are thankful that you have come here." Elizabeth Shark stated attempting to flatter Adrian more, but he cut her straight to the chase.

"No more pleasantries. Just tell me the reason why we are invited." Adrian stated but the others did not like his attitude.

"You dare to be impudent when numerous representatives of great countries are here?!" One of the representatives that looked down on Adrian stated.

"I was not talking to you so please sit down." Adrian stated in a polite tone while also smiling.

Adrian's demeanor did not sit well with some people but even they are curious why the Daemos was invited. The representative that Adrian replied to suddenly became embarrassed as he got pointed out. What made him even more embarrassed is the polite way that Adrian rebutted him.

"If the Daemos are useless then they have no need to be part of this council. The Church of Light will be the ones to head the army and we even have the messengers of our Goddess Luminaria on our side. The Daemos do not need to be here if they are not available." The representative of the Church of Light stated.

Adrian did not bother replying to that inflammatory statement and just smiled. He also pointed at the kingdom representative that questioned him and then pointed at the representative of the Church of Light. He basically told them that what he said to him also applied to her.

"Please avoid fighting with the other council members. We are here to discuss a global threat that can end all our world as we know it. We have invited the Daemos here because only they could mobilize large armies with their magic. If another kingdom can do that then feel free to step up now so that you can be put in the lower box." Elizabeth Shark stated but none could raise their hands.

Adrian smiled upon hearing the reason why they are invited, and he did not even break much of a sweat getting an honest answer. He did rile up the crowd, but he did not think that he can easily get it. He started to plan what he can get from all this as he will not get anything for free.

They might have gathered everyone in the name of eliminating the world threat, but the merchant guild will be the ones that benefit the most from this. They are trying to forge something that money can not easily buy and that is trust. If the merchant guild could gain the trust of a kingdom or any lord, then they can get numerous benefits just from that.

"One thousand gold." Adrian stated.

"Excuse me?" Elizabeth Shark stated.

"One thousand gold for each army teleportation." Adrian stated as he evaluated the best-case scenario for him and the Daemos.

"Outrageous!" One of the representatives in the first row stated.

"As expected of demons, they do not care for this world. They would actually try to profit in times of great war instead of fighting for the world." Another representative from the first row stated.

"One thousand five hundred." Adrian stated without even batting an eye.

When the price rose, all those in the lower box suddenly started to panic but they did not show it. They initially thought that they could gaslight Adrian into cooperation, but they thought wrong. The demons might move for the good of the world, but they should not interfere too much and should let those that unleashed the evil they now face be the ones to solve it.

"Can we discuss this privately, Champion of the Twin Gods?" Elizabeth Shark stated as she did not expect this as well. She was told that demons rarely speak, and they even led the other races against the dark god when it descended. She is quite shocked that they are a bit reluctant in helping with this threat.

"One thousand seven hundred." Adrian stated which made all the guards of those around him stand up and point their weapons at him.

"Oho!? What is this? You actually are resorting to violence." Adrian stated but he is not surprised with this reaction.

"Shut up, vile demon! To think that you will price your services when the fate of the world is at stake." One of the representatives at the first row stated.

The members of the merchant guild that created the council started having a headache because the whole plan hinged upon the fact that they could travel between continents. The only reason that they are confident is due to the fact that the demons will support them because the threat is something that can erase mankind if left alone.

The Great Culling is something that they learned when Church of Light spread what it really is. They have no time to argue with one another.
