Dungeon Of Pride, Laplace

Simon looked at the new entrants perplexed by their identity. Since he was a demon birthed by the ample manas of this world, he had an impure bloodline and the memories of the world that he inherited were also incomplete. Hence, he didn't know why even those mighty and imposing Demon Archdukes were respectful towards these four people that had just arrived.

Oswell looked at Simon's pondering expression and explained "Those three called Amon, Zelda, and Stellar are the subordinates of the three Primordial Demon Lords. Out of the seven primordial Demon Lords, only three are alive namely the Demon Lord of Lust Lady Lilith, Demon Lord of Wrath Lord Baal, and the Demon Lord Sloth Lord Astaroth. The remaining four died during ancient times, throughout these thousands of years many demons filled their positions. But ultimately they were all weaker than their predecessor and ended up dying in these past wars."

Looking at Simon who was listening intently he added "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?... Those three seating right there, are people who fought and survived the Apex War from the ancient times till now. Naturally, their position is the highest among all the demons present in the hall."

Simon finally understood the reason behind the strange behavior of the demons and said "Yeah thanks I understand now... so that means the one that came along with them... "

Oswell as if understanding what he meant followed "Yes that man called Deimos his master is the current Demon Lord of Greed Procell. The demon Lord of Greed Procell had only lived for around three thousand years, how can he be compared to the other three."

While Simon and Oswell were having such a conversation, the three people seated in front were discussing their own matters.

"As expected the fragments have born again and have found new masters. There are two of them this time, hehe…but there is one strange..." Amon said but before he could complete his sentence, Zelda's ice-cold voice sounded out "That demon is indeed quite strange."

"When I thumped my staff into the ground earlier, his was the only status I couldn't see…very interesting" Stellar said as he stroked his long beard and smiled.

"Leaving aside that strange demon the two that appeared are…" Amon looked at the other two as if confirming something. "Indeed it is the Envy and Gluttony fragments… it's quite rare for two of the fragments to appear at the same time." Stellar said as he mused.

Zelda who was keeping her eyelids shut the whole time finally opened them as two silvery crystal eyes came into view. She said, "Times are starting to change again, two new Demon Lords are going to appear soon and those angels aren't going to sit still". Both Amon and Stellar nodded their heads in agreement. "Well since the treaty is still in effect they won't make any obvious movement" Amon surmised.

The commotion erupted by the appearance of four Subordinates of the Demon Lords haven't ended when Gareth decided to go up the stage and drop another bombshell "Everyone since all the participants are present I want to address the issue for hosting this Walpurgis. The reason is none other than to celebrate the birth of a new Demon Lord, a Joyful event for us all demon folk. I'm pleased to say that my son Belial has been chosen by the fragment of Envy."

WHOOOOOAAAAAA

Another commotion bigger than the last erupted as soon as his voice fell.

All the demons present inside the hall were stunned as they heard Gareth's statement. Some immediately erupted in joy others were still shocked about the information they just received, and some felt jealous over not being the one to be chosen by the fragment.

Various emotions coagulated into one as the cries of the demons were deafening as they rang out across the hall. The birth of a new demon lord was a joyous moment for all demonkind and the new Demon Lord is none other than the son of an already famous Demon Archduke Lord Gareth.

A handsome man sitting amongst the Demon Archdukes stood up and came in front of the hall, behind him followed the Four Demon Archdukes Boros, Agares, Orca, and Goliath. Even an idiot could now figure out that they belonged to the same faction and supported the new Demon Lord of Envy Belial.

The man that appeared had hair as white as snow and a pair of violet eyes stared at the crowd below. Two ram horns adorned his head and his wide smile added a devilish beauty to his handsome face. He was wearing luxurious white clothes with golden linings that matched his snow-white hair and suited him perfectly.

A regal aura was being emanated from him as he declared in a loud voice "I'm the new Demon Lord of Envy Belial. Though I'm still weak compared to my other Demon Lord Peers, I shall work hard to not disappoint the previous holders of the fragment and bring a new world of glory for the demonkind."

The crowd was still silent when a loud applause along with thundering laughter rang out "Your ideology is truly worthy of the fragment, Lord Belial. I'm sure the predecessor of the fragment of Envy would be quite pleased to know that you hold such ideals" Deimos clapped his hands as he congratulated the new Demon Lord.

Immediately after loud clamor started erupting from the crowd and hordes of demons started surrounding and congratulating Belial trying to curry favor and reap some benefits.
