When one was rising, the other would fall. So, the Soul Devourers were definitely the scariest race in the universe. Thankfully, there were not a lot of them.
Leila had a crushing advantage in terms of numbers and that was why they won the battle.
Among the historical records in Leila, there was a lot written about the Soul Devourers and many spoke of the race highly.
It was a strange race, filled with mystery and terror.
So, whenever someone heard their name, they would immediately feel a chill rising from the bottom of their feet.
While the partial Overlords were discussing among themselves, Lufian said again, âEveryone, youâre right. The Soul Devourers are the enemies of all intelligent creatures in Leila. They feed on our souls, and we will die once we lose our souls. Thatâs why this concerns the life and death of the entire Leila.
So, everyone in Leila should pay attention to this and fight our enemies together.ââ
âEmperor Lufian, our understanding of the Soul Devourers is from the historical texts, and we donât have much information about them. Since weâre going to fight them, can you please tell us about their weakness, or some more information, so we will know what to do during battle?â The old man with the highest status among the partial Overlords stood up and said.
Then, another partial Overlord chimed in, âYeah! Emperor Lufian, please tell us about the Soul Devourers so we can go back to make preparations. Thereâs too little information about them in the historical texts and they only tell us that the Soul Devourers are scary and strange.â
âDonât worry. Emperor Sylvio has thought about what you mentioned just now. After you go back, you will get the information about the Soul Devourers delivered to you.
When that happens, you can just follow Sylvioâs instructions. To be honest, we donât know a lot about the Soul Devourers too. Sylvio was the only one who took part in the shocking battle back then so heâs the person with the most understanding of the race.â Drogo was the one who spoke this time.
âIf thatâs the case, weâre relieved. If we donât even know the enemiesâ methods, weâll be very restrained in battle and might even get caught off guard.â
âThe reason I asked you all to come here is to ask you to pay more attention to this. If I just pass on the message, the ones among you in seclusion might choose to stay there. The collaboration of the two races is very serious, so all of us in Leila have to work together and we canât be careless,â Valentin said seriously.
âDonât worry, Overlords. This is about the life and death of our homeland so we will naturally do our best. If they want to invade Leila, they have to step over my dead body!â The old manâs voice suddenly became impassioned.
âIf they want to invade Leila, they have to step over our dead bodies!â The other partial Overlords yelled at the same time.
The Overlords, Lufian, Valentin, and Drogo nodded slightly.
Their goal of coming here had been achieved.
They had to ask all of the partial Overlords to come out to pay attention to this crisis. At the same time, they had to get everyone worked up too.
Therefore, this was a gathering to mobilize everyone before the battle.
There were five Overlords in Leila and three of them were here. It was enough to prove how scary the collaboration between the Robotias and the Soul Devourers was.
âWeâre happy that you all feel this way. However, you donât have to be too worried. With Sylvio and us around, we will surely get through the crisis and protect Leila,â Drogo said comfortingly.
âOf course, we believe you. However, Leila is our home too so itâs also our responsibility to protect our homeland.â
Then, Lufian, Valentin, and Drogo mentioned a request.
Finally, this small-scale gathering ended.
Shortly after, Lufian rushed to Sylvioâs place as fast as he could.
His mind was already with Elora.
Frankly, Lufian kept feeling something was off with Elora after she got seriously injured.
Elora seemed to be drawing clear boundaries with him.
Even though she did not accept him back then, she tended towards accepting him.
However, she seemed to have gone back to how she was.
Lufian had to go back and investigate what was going on. He had to find out what the problem was!
