Chapter 67: The Envoy
"It's good to see you again, Beelzebub," I said casually as I landed on the grassy plain below, the ground denting under my feet from the impact.
"You as well, Beast King," Ajuka responded in kind, his same fake-pleasant smile plastered on his face.
"And, of course, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time," My lips curved up into a slightly hungry grin, my eyes boring into the red-haired man's in front of me, "Lucifer."
Sirzechs took the new mantle of 'highest level person I've seen,' surpassing Tiamat by a large margin and Ajuka by a smaller one.
[Maou] [Sirzechs Lucifer] - Level 2250
Sirzechs having a 250 level gap over Ajuka was surprising, but when compared to their overall level being in the multiple of thousands, I guess there wasn't actually a huge gap between the two Maou.
"Beast King Valon," Sirzechs gave me an obviously fake smile, the man living up to his Maou position as he stayed professional, "I'm glad we were able to come to a compromise."
"As am I," I nodded lightly, still matching his gaze with a slightly challenging one, "I'm not in a rush to take over the Underworld, so we don't need to be at war. I'll let your race stay around for now."
Unfortunately, Sirzechs didn't take the bait, simply nodding a bit stiffly at my words.
"I look forward to working with you."
It would've been a bad look for the Maou if he'd lost his cool upon meeting me for the first time. I already had a plan of how I was going to beat Ajuka - a rather daunting task - in his 'battle of intellect,' but getting every advantage I could would still be helpful.
