Are there any characters that I left in the dark? If there is, let me know!

"Rastrikan Demons were so feared by all the other races that they are usually used as a bargaining chip for the Demon Race. A simple threat of unleashing them is enough to scare even the high-rank Supernatural Races" Queen Shanaela continues.

It was the first time for Adhara to see her this scared.

Such palpable terror that one can almost see the vicious and disgusting act that the Rastrikan Demons did through Queen Shanaela\'s eyes, the Elves must also experience the terror of these demons first-hand.

Frowning for a second, she then asked, "What did you do to make them angry?"

"If the Rastrikan Demons were that scary, then why would you evoke anger from them? No matter how I see it, there\'s no merit being done in making such malicious entities angry" Adhara looks at the Dwarf King and frowns.

Knowing that if it was her, then she wouldn\'t have done anything to be in their sights.

Upon hearing this the Dwarf King could only sigh deeply before he turns his head to the War Maul of Glacia behind him, gesturing that it has something to do with it. "As the two of you might know, our territory is protected by an artifact, the Perpetual Field of Deep Frost powered by my War Maul of Glacia. In the past, we still know and possess the method of creating both the artifact and the weapon in case both things got destroyed or lost"

"The Rastrikan Demons find out about this, and forced us to make another version of Perpetual Field of Deep Frost and War Maul of Glacia which will evoke a hellish domain instead of a frost domain, suitable for their barbaric raids and slaughter"

Both Adhara and Queen Shanaela were engrossed in the story.

Even though the two don\'t really know the Dwarf King that well, they could tell that he\'s not a complete idiot. If he offends the Rastrikan Demons, then there must be something more than simple idiocy.

Reminiscing about the past, the Dwarf King clenched both of his fists tightly.

"We didn\'t have any choice but to do what they wanted, our people work like slaves every single day without being able to rest. The Great Dwarf King at that time also helped his people and yet realizes when the products were finished halfway, they demand sacrifices to be completed"

"Actual living sacrifice because the products were diabolic and damned beyond salvation. If the Rastrikan Demons gave us the sacrifices, then it wouldn\'t be a problem. But instead, they used the Dwarves that were exhausted from overwork as sacrifices. Savagely killed the Warchiefs that tries to defend them, and even threatened to humiliate the Great Dwarf King\'s wife and children, saying that in order to stop them from humiliating them was for the Dwarves to sacrifice themselves willingly for the completion of the products"

Just listening to this alone, Adhara could feel her blood boiling.

It was no wonder that the Rastrikan Demons were feared and known as the most disgusting.

Although Rex has done some heinous things that he wouldn\'t be proud of today, he has never consciously used children for his selfish goals. If he wanted to achieve something, then he needs to be the one to bear the sacrifice.

Entities like the Rastrikan Demons were obviously the descendants of the Devil itself.

"Due to the anger from seeing his people sacrificing themselves in order to stop the humiliation endured by his wife and children, the Great Dwarf King tweaked the products, causing them both to explode when activated for the second time. The Rastrikan Demons lost two legions because of that, and their sight on revenge is imminent" 

Upon hearing the ending of the story, Adhara, and Queen Shanaela were not surprised.

Clearly, the guilt and burden the Great Dwarf King sustained is too great.

If he hadn\'t done something like that then Adhara and Queen Shanaela wouldn\'t have any respect for him. During that kind of dark times, it\'s better to fight back and die instead of being trampled over like ants.

Now that she knows the full story, Adhara is also certain the Rastrikan Demons will attack.

But there\'s one missing piece, "If that\'s the case, then shouldn\'t the Rastrikan Demons already exact revenge on your kingdom? Since it\'s past bad blood, maybe their hatred for the ancient humans would prevail"

"Yes, and no..." the Dwarf King replied decisively.

Moving to a more comfortable sitting position, he then continues, "Seeing that the Dwarf Kingdom has grown like this again, the Rastrikan Demons will not sit still and let us be at peace. It\'s certain that they will try to dominate us again. After that incident, the Rastrikan Demons almost managed to commit a full genocide against our people, but were stopped when the ancient humans sealed us"

"W- What...? Complete genocide? What do you mean by that...?" Adhara gasped.

Pausing a second with a heavy heart, the Dwarf King then replied, "Our elders are all dead"

In an instant, the atmosphere becomes tense.

Adhara was only guessing but the atmosphere around the Dwarf King tells her that she was right, the Dwarf doesn\'t have any Elders that would be waking up alongside the World Awakening that could help them.

It makes their situation even clearer than before.

When Adhara went to the Dark Elf and the Tigerman Kingdom earlier, their Elders were also waking up and enhancing their overall battle prowess. In addition, Adhara also needs to make sure that the Elders still have the same idea in mind.

If the Elders decided that they don\'t want to be an ally, then it will be very bad.

But thankfully, under the explanation from Adhara and the help of those that were awake even before the Elders were awake, there\'s no such thing happening. As a matter of fact, they were glad that it turns out this way.

Seems like living under the tyranny of the high-rank Supernaturals also takes a toll on them.

Due to that everything has gone smoothly until now.

Just earlier when she conversed briefly with Queen Shanaela about the Dwarf King, the two were also confused as to why the Dwarf King that has never taken a side before suddenly decided to ally with the Silverstar Pack.

Queen Shanaela said that it was unlike the Dwarves to do this.

Now that the two has finally talked with the Dwarf King, that was answered instantly.

"Our Elders were all slaughtered by the Rastrikan Demons. In the whole kingdom, I\'m the only living person that still remembers the methods to make both items and surely they would be coming for me" the Dwarf King nodded his head.

But then, he glanced at Queen Shanaela, "That being said, this shouldn\'t be surprising..."I think you should take a look at

Realizing that the Dwarf King is looking at Queen Shanaela with a meaningful look, Adhara also glanced at her with one of her eyebrows raised. She saw Queen Shanaela looking down, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Queen Shanaela, don\'t tell me that you\'re also..."

"Yes, the Elves also don\'t have any Elders. We\'ve been tamed under control..."

It was then, Queen Shanaela explains the situation about the Elves and also the Dwarves.

Queen Shanaela said that the Dwarves and the Elves were also a prominent race back in ancient times, they were a part of the high-rank Supernatural races. Each has insurmountable power, knowledge, specialty, and history to boast.

At one point, the two races were accused of colluding with the ancient humans.

Like any major problem that happened in ancient times, it was the Demons that accused them of that when in truth, they were fearful of the Elves and Dwarves\' potential to become stronger than them.

Some of the other high-rank races were involved, but the Demons were the instigator.

Ever since that time, the other high-rank races started to actively suppress them bit by bit. If they had fought back, then they would evoke a war that will be disadvantageous for them as the other races were giving them cold shoulders.

In time,  the suppression started to become overbearing and a war breaks out.

The Angel race helped them knowing full well that the other races were only envious of them, but even with the Angel race\'s help, they lost the war and got severely weakened which is the beginning of their downfall.

Elves and Dwarves that Adhara knew is nothing but a fraction of what was.

Just as Adhara was overwhelmed by the information as she didn\'t expect that the Elves and Dwarves has such a rough history until they could reach this state, the Dwarf King suddenly stands up and surprisingly slightly bowed towards her.

"W- What are you-"

"I want to apologize for using the Silverstar Pack as an escape route for my people"

Upon hearing this, Adhara could only sigh as she understands it all now.

Although the Elves also have a similar history as the Dwarves and probably will need help in fighting those who wanted them dead, the motive behind Queen Shanaela in allying with the Silverstar Pack was not a selfish one.

She wanted to help lower-rank Supernatural races to survive.

Gathering the lower-rank Supernatural races would eventually manifest a big nation to boast.

If she managed to gather all of the lower-rank Supernatural races under her banner, then they would be able to protect themselves through sheer numbers, and the high-rank Supernatural races wouldn\'t be able to push them around easily.

But the Dwarf King on the other hand joined the alliance for his own personal reason.

Knowing that the Rastrikan Demons ought to come for them, he decided to pick a side and it was the best choice to join the alliance. Since it\'s a new alliance, the Silverstar Pack would need to prove to the allied forces that they could be a good leader.

The Dwarf King wanted to exploit that so that the Silverstar Pack will help his kingdom.

"Hahh... I really don\'t know what to say to you right now, and it doesn\'t mean I\'m not furious at you for trying to use us. Just for this moment, I\'ll let it slide. But in the near future, you\'re going to have to talk with Lord Rex about this matter face-to-face" Adhara replied, holding her throbbing head.

Upon hearing this, the Dwarf King tensed but he eventually nodded his head.

"Yes, I understand"

"Well, now that you\'ve come clear. It seems like we need to finish the teleportation formation in your kingdom the fastest. If the Rastrikan Demons were as you depicted, then I wouldn\'t be surprised if they are on their way here right now..."

Meanwhile, Ratmawati City. The Executor\'s Castle.

It was early in the morning, and the Black Messenger is currently delivering Gistella to the Executor as he was ordered. Last night when he wanted to bring Gistella instantly to the Executor, he was surprisingly got denied.

Seems like the Executor is doing something, and he couldn\'t be bothered.

Now that he has finished with what he was doing, the Black Messenger was told to bring Gistella to the castle in the bleak morning. Despite only being tasked with delivering, meeting the Executor always made his heart race.

Knowing that the Executor is unpredictable makes it scary to meet with him.

Upon reaching the castle with Gistella beside him, the Black Messenger was stopped by Brigitta who says that he would need to wait for a moment before entering the throne room.

A moment later, the entrance to the castle was opened.

The Black Messenger could see a couple of Awakened pulling some sort of carriages that reeks of blood, and this alone makes him avert his eyes away. Not because of not used to the scent, but because knowing the fact that it was his fault.

\'It must be the sacrifices for today, I really can\'t stand this...\' the Black Messenger thought.

After the Awakened with the carriages left the castle\'s premises, Brigitta leads the Black Messenger inside. In that brief moment, the Black Messenger glanced at her weirdly as she doesn\'t seem to have any reaction.

Even though Gistella is beside him, Brigitta doesn\'t seem to care. Her eyes are lifeless.

Finding that the Executor must\'ve done something heinous to her that made her like this, the Black Messenger could only clench his fists tightly and tried to put his mind somewhere else. It was then, he was faced with the throne room again.

Standing in front of the throne is the Executor, wiping his bloodied hands with a white cloth.

"Now that the weakest link is here, the fun is about to start!"

"Bring her to me..."
