[Central Continent, Meeting of The Leaders]

The very next day, Asagi was called over to the meeting of leaders in order to discuss the issue regarding her report of her expedition in the northern continent. Mostly this concerns the presence of demons themselves. The attendees of this meeting are as follows.

- Queen of Azure Kingdom

- Queen of Celeste Kingdom

- Pope of the church

- Royalty of Estia Kingdom

-Royalty of Orboume Kingdom

-Emperor of Amid Empire

However there is something special in this meeting and that is the new addition of members for this meeting itself. Apparently since the people who held most authority in the northern continent had befriended Asagi, they were given a chance to join the meeting in accordance to their same goal in mind 'eradicating the demons who disturb their peace'. None of them knew that this will be the first meeting for the soon to be powerhouse , "The Alliance"

The people who joined are the representative of the barbarian tribes in the mountains and the sole ruler of the city of Avalon.

- Representative of the four mountain tribes (Boris & Tetra)

- Ruler of Avalon (Albion)

Once everyone has arrived and settled down, Queen Celestia then spoke up and begun to direct everything to the main issue at hand.

"Before we start, i would like to welcome our new members... they are the new people who will join us from this moment and they came from the far land of the north filled with ice and snow"

Hearing Queen Celestia's words, Boris, Tetra, and Albion formally greeted everyone with a nod and wave. Of course since they were foreign, many leaders were curious about them which caused multiple gossips to revolve around the room.

"They look cool" exclaimed by emperor Rusch

"Oh they look dependable, looks like we may have a chance in this future event" muttered by King Eric of Orboume Kingdom

"So they are our new members" said by King Edmund of the Estia Kingdom

"Indeed... they do look foreign, especially that barbarian... i never knew that a human body could achieve such physique" commented by Queen Arleth of Estia Kingdom

"Ohhh!!! Quite an achievement from the angel of the lord! outstanding!!!" cheered by Pope Michael

While the old members have their own comment regarding the new members, the new members on the other hand have their very own comment about the old members themselves.

"They seemed quite entertained.... Did we do something to entertain them?" asks by Tetra

"It's only natural to be entertained 30th tribe Chief Tetra! we are foreign friends who they never met because of the vast sea between our lands... to them we are something like a new species in which their curiosity would kick in" said by Boris

"I see... How do you know of this? 1st tribe chief Boris?" asked by Tetra

"Simple! I've seen foreigners during my younger days already, they may seem lost and somewhat ill back then and of course he ha already died... but i knew that he was not of this land... after all his physique is quite different from us who are accustomed to the cold" said by Boris through his experience

"I see" muttered by Tetra

"Anyway that doesn't change the fact that they now knew of our existence... and since we accepted to be here, then an alliance between two continent is inevitable.... unless someone opposes of it of course" added by Albion, seemingly interested on the topic that both Tetra and Boris were talking about

Hearing Albion's words and the fact that they had known him for quite a long time already, both Tetra and Boris simply nodded in agreement as they conversed with the supreme sorcerer himself. On the other hand Asagi sat down in an amused expression as she talked about stuff with Queen Celestia on the corner.

Once everyone had their fill, the silence returned once more as the talk begun to go underway.

"First off we received a report from your majesty queen Asagi about the presence of the demons in two events... one involves the tribal barbarians in the snow peak mountain and the second is the involvement of awakening the Cryophoenix... based on this report it seems like this demons like to cause trouble not just once but twice" said by Queen Celestia

"But we don't know anything about this demons... we may have an inkling idea about them due to our previous meeting, but this is new... at first there was a white and red demon, now your telling us that it has an albino demon? Do the demons comes in color pattern? do they have an hierarchy?" Asked by Queen Arleth of Estia Kingdom

"Maybe we should review back on what demons actually is" suggested by Queen Celestia as she looked over towards Pope Michael

"Ehem... alright! A demon is a malevolent supernatural entity. Historically, belief in demons, or stories about demons, occurs in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore.is an evil spirit, a fallen angel. Before the creation of the world, these demons were angels. They served and worshiped God until, under the leadership of another angel, they rebelled against God. There was a war in Heaven (where God and all the angels lived). However, the rebellious angels in the Bible were defeated and cast down to earth" said by Pope Michael

"There is a hierarchy even among the demons and all of them follows Lucifer's orders.... of course i don't know whether Lucifer exist in this world, but i do know a fact that someone who is at the same rank as Lucifer in the bible is leading this type of disturbance... after all this series of events seems well planned and thought off to be just some idea that came out of a whim of a demon.... i can assure you, it is not good... we may be facing demons in the far future" he added

"Are you talking about a war?" asks by Albion

in accordance to Albion's words, Pope Michael then nodded. Once that assumption was given, Boris quickly spoke out loud and declared his stance.

"If war is what they want, then all the tribes in all mountain ranges will fight against this creatures... they have done us wrong and disturb our peace, therefore our people have a grudge against them, we will participate in this war if such fight is inevitable"

"But it's not confirmed whether what they want is war or just disruption... everything is just speculations" said by Pope Michael

"It does not matter" replied by Boris

"It does you know" said by Pope Michael

Hearing his words, Boris glared at him, causing the pope himself to shiver for a second. But after taking in a few breaths, he then steeled himself and said.

"We, cant move recklessly... each and everyone of us needs to be careful and move accordingly in the shadows... we cannot show that we are moving in the direction of war, that would not only cause mass panic but many opposition for the ordinary citizens... plus we are talking about demons here, based on myths, demons can transform into anything, so it wouldn't be hard for them to infiltrate our side"

"...So how do we differentiate them?" Asked by Queen Lylisia, queen of Orboume Kingdom, after remaining for silent for so long

*********
Queen Lylisia

49 Years old

Female

Queen of Orboume Kingdom

*********

Hearing his Queen's words, King Eric further supported her question as he then asked pope Michael. What's more he is doing this for some ulterior motives of his own. No one in the council knew the existence of the heroes in his kingdom yet, or so what he believes. So while that was still kept, he needed some type of object or artifact to identify the demons themselves.

Aside from the church themselves, his whole kingdom or better yet ancestry knew of the horror of the demons themselves. Since he knew about them and their terror, he had begun initiating his plan in order t prepare for this inevitable war. After all whenever the demons were involved, there will always be war that follows. The first to know, the first to act.

Of course that will only be till this day. Now that everyone knew about the demons, it was almost time for him to confess his deeds. Naturally his queen also knew of his circumstances, but before he reveal his deeds, he would need to hear the pope's answer towards the question.

"Holy water!!! Holy water is water that has been blessed by a member of the clergy or a religious figure, or derived from a well or spring considered holy. The use for cleansing prior to a baptism and spiritual cleansing is common in several religions... Since holy water has properties of divinity, then once the holy water senses a demon in its vicinity, it will boil and heat up to a concerning degree and alert any person who wield it that a demon is nearby"

"... That... that is a dangerous stunt that someone will try to pull" said by Emperor Rusch as he imagined himself walking down the road when suddenly out of nowhere the holy water boiled and warned him that a demon is nearby.

It would have been okay if he was somewhat ignorant of the holy water's property or better yet he was not the target for the demons. However since he held such important position in the Amid empire, him being targeted is much likely than being not.

"indeed! It is a dangerous stunt, after all no one knew whether a demon is targeting you or just passing by you... but one must remember once the demon realized that he or she had been ousted, it will do an everything in its power to kill and silence the person who found out its true identity"

Upon hearing that, Emperor Rusch sunk down on his seat and stayed silent for quite awhile. While the emperor was in a disarray in his thoughts, Pope Michael continued on.

"As much as carrying this has a risk, it can also help save your life... not only does this act as a radar ward for demons, it also act as replacement of healing potions being sold in the market"

"That holy water, it seems quite useful in a lot of ways" commented by Queen Arleth of the Estia Kingdom

"Indeed! However here comes the problem, the church only has limited supply of holy water so it wont be able to provide for everyone... but there is also a different method" said by Pope Michael

"Method? What method?" asked by Queen Celestia

"I believe the angels have a way of detecting them? Angels and demons are like two sides of the same coin... meaning if they ever pass each other, both of them would know each other's identity which would result in combat... i don't know how they can identify them, but i believe Queen Asagi could answer this " said by Pope Michael as he pointed everyone towards Asagi

With all the attention directed towards her, Asagi had no choice but to follow through and answer the question that bothered everyone in the room.

"Yes we can identify whether a person is a demon or not, but this is not through the means of a medium but rather our inner trait... our kind can identify demons through their different wavelength of mana... if divine power gives you a warm feeling, then demonic power gives you a feeling of being choked to death by how murky it is" answered by Asagi

"This thing... can you teach it to us?" asked by King Eric of Orboume Kingdom

"I'm not sure if that is possible, but if it is, then maybe we can" replied by Asagi

"I can help you find a way to teach them than type of method" said by Albion as he raised up his hand

"You can?" asked by Asagi

"Of course i can! I'm a person who travelled the world to observe the different forms of magic, this much would just excite me even more since its the first time i touch the power related to divine energy" reasoned by Albion

"I see... then i leave it to you to help me out" said by Asagi with a nod which then followed by Albion's own nod

After everyone said those words, King Edmund then pulled up one of the information he has as he boldly claimed.

"Speaking of demons, we also found out that demons have been involved in the incident within our kingdom"

Hearing his words, everyone fell into silence once more as all eyes darted towards him.
