Chapter 107: A Truce Meeting

The next day, after Floid got the information about the undead, he started to do his research into the different fire-based skills that he knew about. Floid remembered that there were about ten high-level fire skills that could do damage to the undead. Out of the ten of them, five were not usable because he could only use these skills when he was the hero. That meant that he could only do them when he was contracted with the dragon of fire. Floid cursed once he realized this fact. He would have been able to use the skills if he had Givalich! But that fucking idiot, Reginald didn't know where Givalich was!

Floid knew that he could also copy the skills with his [Duplicate] skill if he ever finds someone that knew them, but there was no hero in this world right now so that means that no one knows about these skills.

Floid already sent Dragonnek out into the outskirts of Aradite and he told him to search for any place where Givalich could be. Floid was still not going to give up on finding the dragon of fire, but there was no news from Dragonnel and Floid knew that it would be difficult for Dragonnel to find anything in time. It would take months for Dragonnel to move around the entire continent even if he is in his dragon form. Rivalle is much larger than earth. Almost three times as large! And Aradite itself has an equal landmass to earth! There is no way that Dragonnel can cover it at once!

So Floid got rid of the five skills that he couldn't use without a contract with Givalich and then he looked at the five skills that he could get even if he didn't have a contract. The first three skills were strong but they required too much preparation. He would have to prepare and train for more than three months before he could use them and that would be too pointless. Floid didn't have that kind of time! He decided that he would just move to the two that he could do with a shorter time.

One of them was named [Internal Combustion]. It was a process of setting the mana inside your body on fire and bringing it out into the real world at the same time. The skill was a holy skill that was very popular among churches that fought against the undead. For someone like Floid, it should be deadly, but Floid knew that he would be able to handle the skill easily since his body was very strong. The skill needed a lot of precision for it to work. If you set the mana in your body on fire and you don't release it at the exact same time, you might end up killing yourself as you burn from the inside out! And if you release the mana too fast, you won't be able to get the proper amount of heat for the skill to work! You need to get that sweet zone in the middle before it would work!

The second skill was another difficult skill named [Blessing Of Fire]. It was another holy skill that the church used to fight against the undead. This skill used the external Mana in the air to produce a white flame that would be able to kill the undead. It was far less effective than the first skill [Internal Combustion], but it was the most common skill because anyone could easily use it as long as they had enough understanding of the skill and how it worked. Once you study the skill and understand how it works, it is easy for you to use the skill.

If there was a choice to be made, Floid knew that the easier choice would be the [Blessing of Fire]. It is easy and if Floid uses it, he is sure that he can make it stronger than what anyone could produce. But Floid knew that it would be more sensible to go for the other skill [Internal Combustion] was far more deadly and also far more unpredictable! If there was anyone in the undead army that had a way to counter the [Blessing of Fire] there is no way they will have a way to counter the [Internal Combustion]!! Floid hummed as he thought about his choices deeply. Should he ask Alucard and Rosavallt for advice?

Knock! Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on Floid's door. He was currently in his office with Rizi standing beside him to help him with anything he needed and he told the person at the door to come in. Rosavellt entered the office and bowed calmly. Although she was calm, Floid could tell that there was something important she wanted to tell him. She had a look in her eye that she always got whenever she was worried about something. There was a letter in her hand and Rosavellt walked closer to Floid and stretched the letter out using both hands.

"And what is this?'

Floid rose a brow and asked her this question without even taking the letter and Rosavellt immediately realized her mistake! She didn't even tell the demon lord what she was handing to him! How shaken up am I that I can't even do my job properly!? Rosavellt apologizing profusely!

"I-I'm sorry master, I made a mistake!"

"Just tell me what it is,"

Rosavellt released a tense breath before answering.

"It is a letter from a delegate of the undead. It was delivered to our doorstep by one of the undead familiars and they have requested me to bring it to you. It is a... [Truce Meeting]"

Floid's eyes widened in surprise! A [Truce Meeting]!? Floid immediately took the letter from Rosavellt and he opened it to look at what was written in it. Floid knew what a Truce Meeting was. He already read about it in the Rivalle Wiki. But Floid never thought that the undead would be so unbelievably bold and brazen that they would try to have a Truce Meeting with the demon lord! A Truce Meeting was a meeting that was held between two or more parties. All the parties involved would usually swear that none of the parties would attack another party no matter what is said in that meeting!

Once a truce meeting is in session, anything can be said and no one can attack another person no matter what! The reason why Floid was so surprised is that the truce meeting is a meeting that is usually held between equals! The parties that take part in a Truce Meeting are usually people or kingdoms that are at war! They always see themselves as equals and they usually call a Truce Meeting to use it for deciding if they would call off the war or not!

Does that mean that these fucking Undead think that they are equal with the demons!? The nerve! These bastards that were chased back to the underworld by one demon lord think they can come and call a Truce Meeting with me because I am just a new demon lord!? Are they looking down on me?

Once Floid finished reading the letter his hand squeezed the letter into a ball and he easily lit it on fire. Floid was pissed and the maids in the room were obviously noticing his anger! His face was set in a scowl and the two of them knew that he was very angry! Rosavellt was still standing with her stoic look but she was feeling very angry and embarrassed on the inside! How dare they!? How dare her people disrespect their leader like this!? How can a demon lord be summoned to a Truce Meeting like he was your equal!?

Rosavellt felt like wringing the next of the person that decided to call this meeting in the first place! The undead already has a bad image with the demon lord and now they are making it worse by doing something stupid like this! Do they have no brains at all?

Rizi just frowned at the entire situation in anger! She knew that this wouldn't end well. If the demon lord wanted, he can take this as an insult and declare war on all the undead! All of the demons would gladly follow him into war and they could completely eradicate the Undead this time! If Floid wanted them to do it, they would!

But when Floid spoke, his voice was calm and he said something that was the complete opposite of what they thought he would say.

"Prepare a place for the meeting, preferably a neutral ground that both parties can come to. Tell the undead that we'll come for their Truce Meeting."

Rosavellt's eyes widened in shock as she heard Floids declaration! He was accepting!? Why!? Even if Rosavellt was an undead, she still knew how insulting it was for anyone to just request an audience with the demon lord! What could the demon lord have in mind for him to accept something like this!? Floid went back to signing papers and he ignored the looks from Rosavellt and Rizi.

Rosavellt knew that this was a dismissal from him. She wanted to say something, anything at all to try and rectify the mistake of her people, but there was nothing more for her to say and she just bowed as she went to do as she was told.

Rosavellt swore that she would find whoever it was that did this! She would wring their neck from their body and set their corpse on fucking fire!! It is the greatest insult to the demon lord for you to even think that you are his equal, and the fact that it is one of her own people that did it is the greatest embarrassment she has ever faced in her life!!

Rosavellt would make sure she kills the person that sent this no matter what!
