Nyssa looked up with a dreamy expression on her face as she declared that she and her future husband were going to have their very first quarrel.
Alex couldn't help but smile at her unusual sentiment. Although he had witnessed some of Nyssa's fighting skills on Earth, he was yet to see her in action in this realm.
Nyssa went on to express her desire to fight for Alex as his obedient servant, stating that she believed her light magic would be a valuable weapon against their enemies.
Having observed her proficiency in both light and dark magic, as well as her combat skills, Alex had complete faith in her abilities.
"Well, now that you two are going to fight, I'll just have to sit back and relax," Lauryn joked, but her tone made it clear that she was eager to contribute in any way she could.
"I don't want to sit this one out either," Ruby added, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I'll fight alongside you all."
Alex smiled at their enthusiasm. "Glad to have you both on board. As for the tenth member, we still need to decide who it will be."
"I suggest we choose someone who's skilled in defense," Nyssa offered. "We'll need someone who can protect us in case things get rough."
"That's a good point," Alex agreed. "Anyone have any candidates in mind?"
"We need someone who can adapt quickly to changing circumstances. This fight could take any turn at any moment. Honestly, my lord, I would have preferred if you had not accepted the Ruler's offer. We might have been able to continue without getting involved in this mess," stated Batibat frankly.
Alex had always valued honesty and transparency in others, so he appreciated Batibat's directness and did not feel any sense of discomfort or apprehension about his criticism.
Alex knew that Batibat was not one to mince words or sugarcoat things, so he respected his opinion. However, Alex had already made up his mind to participate in the Ruler's proposal and couldn't turn back now.
"I understand your concern, Batibat, but we are already committed to this fight. We must prepare ourselves and give it our all," replied Alex calmly, acknowledging Batibat's words.
Asmodea nodded in agreement with Alex, "I concur with the young lord's opinion. We have to do our best to protect our Master's honor."
Alex listened to the opinions of his companions with interest. "Yeah, it does shock me that the King is the one who showed up," he commented, agreeing with the previous statement made by Orcus.
He knew that the Ruler of Greed was a formidable opponent and could cause trouble in their mission.
"I had expected the Princess of Pride to come, seeing as how her daughter was already in attendance and she had been a friend to the people of the Land of Lust for a very long time," Asmodea chimed in.
Alex nodded thoughtfully. It was strange that the Princess of Pride had not shown up herself, considering her daughter was already there, and they had a good relationship with the people of the Land of Lust.
"Perhaps the King has his own motives for being here," Alex mused. "We can't be certain, but we should prepare for the worst-case scenario." He looked around at his companions, who nodded in agreement.
They knew that they needed to be ready for anything that came their way, especially with such powerful enemies lurking in the shadows.
Alex remained unperturbed by the Ruler's unexpected appearance in the meeting. He believed that he could emerge victorious from the upcoming battle, regardless of who was leading the opposing team.
As he looked around the room at the gathered pillars and his allies, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence. "We've got some of the toughest fighters in the Land of Lust on our side, don't we?" he said with a small smile.
Asmodea nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we do. But we mustn't underestimate the Ruler and his team. They're formidable opponents, and we must prepare accordingly," she warned.
"I'm aware of that," Alex replied, his expression becoming more serious. "That's why we need to strategize and come up with a plan that takes all possible scenarios into account. But I believe we can win this. I accepted the challenge because I believe in our team's strength and abilities."
"We may be recognised as the strongest in the entirety of the Land of Lust, but that does not imply that there are not other demons that are just as strong, either inside or outside of the Land of Lust. The Parish is a band that is virtually unknown outside of the large quantity of tales that have been spread about them, and they are not attractive. Even though it was a very long time ago, Veronica, there was a moment when I fought against one of them. As a result, I am unaware of the extent to which they have evolved. As far as I am aware, she possessed a great deal of talent. A word of caution was offered by Asmodea when she stated, "In any case, let us decide on the tenth person to battle against us." We pride ourselves on being a fairly adaptable group that can do a little bit of everything."
"Dooooo we have any volunteers?" Ruby said cheerfully.
There were five different persons who offered their assistance, while the remaining ones simply observed in silence.
Zagan, Azail, Sitri, Abrial, and Iris were the ones who put their resources on the table. During their conversation, Alex took the decision to keep the bidding open despite the fact that he was unaware of the skill levels possessed by any of the prospective members of the team.
