The Inner Sanctuary, The Sacred Mountain, The Capital City Lune, The Holy Empire of Lubelius.
Within the walls of the Inner Sanctum, in a capacious room filled with luxurious furniture comparable to royal halls, stood two individuals before a silver-haired lady who laid on the settee before them.
"The incident today was caused by a monster flying over the Capital, and it pierced the barrier without even slowing down. I think we should quickly take it down"
Hinata Sakaguchi, said coolly, earning a side-eye from the blonde man beside her.
"Do you even know who he is, Hinata?"
"Does it matter who that is? The capital is in an uproar because of 'him', Louis"
Hearing this, Louis, The Holy Emperor of Lubelius, heaved out a sigh.
"It's best not to go after him"
Hinata, hearing this, narrowed her eyes at Louis. After all, she was the leader of the Holy Knight Order, which protected mankind from such dangerous monsters...it was what she sworn to do to repent for killing her mother.
Hinata, opened her mouth, not wanting to listen to Louis but was cut off by the lady lying on the lounger—
"He's right Hinata"
"Lady Luminous—"
"That lazy chicken you saw was Dino"
Hinata lowered her gaze as she heard Luminous' avowal.
Occasionally listening to Luminous' spontaneous ramblings, she knew who Dino was.
A holder of a seat amongst the current Demon Lords, the Sleeping Ruler, Dino, was not amongst the well-known Demon Lords, except for a few. He had little influence compared to the other known Demon Lords like Guy and Milim, and known to have no subordinates as well.
Dino, huh?! What could be the reason he passed the city?! No matter, he can't be as strong as Lady Luminous, and I have gotten much stronger than back then. From what we gathered, he was heading towards the Jura Forest. Could it be that— "Don't even think about that Hinata"
"Huh?"
Hinata was snapped out of her daze by Luminous' words.
"That sluggish guy may seem weak, but he is also a True Demon Lord—"
Hearing this, Hinata eyes lit up in surprise.
An Awakened Demon Lord? Just like Lady Luminous—
"—not to mention, if he stops holding back, he might cause me some trouble"(A.N: Luminous going the delusional "Nah, I'd win" route)
Louis' frown deepened as he heard those words, opposed to Hinata's shock.
No wonder he could easily break the barrier. It will be bad if he teams up with Rimuru, having Veldora was already bad enough.
"Lady Luminous, Allow me to go to Tempest"
Luminous sighs, eyes closed. Then, her heterochromatic eyes open, gazing at Hinata's face critically.
"You have become strong, Hinata, much stronger than before, there is no doubt about that.
However, Rimuru aside, you cannot defeat Dino, let alone Veldora"
Hinata clenches her fist at Luminous' words.
"But wasn't Veldora sealed by a human 300 years ago?"
"Hinata. While he was indeed sealed, remember that you are still far behind the hero who sealed him"
