Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 24: Walpurgis Invitation (2)

The Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse neighed as if telling him he too will be able to use it.

“Yeah thanks, I’ll work hard to get it.” He said as he patted the warhorse. Soon they found their next prey and just like before the Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse used some of its skills and made short work of them.

A week passed amidst the constant DP grinding and leveling. But unlike before when he hunted solo, this time he had a comrade with him. In these few days, the Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse grew up to level 77. It was partly due to his [Mental Map] which had marked large groups of enemies living in the forest and partly due to his Pride fragment affecting the warhorse.

Simon himself had grown by 15 levels in these past few days. And most importantly he had finally gained the amalgamation skill:- [Flame-Gale Magic].

Currently, both of them were out hunting. Their prey was a colony of amenodactyl that had made a tall hollow mountain their nest. This race had a long pointed beak, bat-like wings, and a skeleton thin frame. Their levels were around 100 to 110 and each of them had a skill called [Wind Slice].

High up in the sky riding his warhorse he observed for a while and said “Alright let’s do this…..” but before he could complete his sentence a small window popped in front of him.

Walpurgis Invitation.

Demon Archduke Gareth had initiated a Walpurgis and is inviting the presence of all the demons. It will be held 7 days from now in the Castle of Avernus. A spatial gate will be formed near the invitee before the appointed time. A maximum of one subordinate can be brought along.

Enforced by Demon Archdukes:- Boros, Agares, Goliath, and Orca

Just when he was about to begin his grinding session, a window suddenly appeared in front of him. Reading its content he had a pondering expression for while. The invitation came from the Demon Archduke Gareth and was also enforced by four other Demon Archdukes. Making the underlying intention fairly clear that the invitee’s absence will not be tolerated.

Simon thought that this was unnecessary as there were no demons alive who didn’t know the power and position a Demon Archduke holds.

The demon hierarchy was defined and those on top hold absolute authority over the ones below. From his inherited memories Simon knew that a Demon Archduke was the second-highest rank after the Seven Demon Lords. That is to say, there are only seven people above them. Below the Demon Archdukes are Demon Dukes, Demon Marquess, Demon Earl, Demon Viscount, and Demon Baron.

Thinking till here Simon was reminded again that he was still at the bottom of the hierarchy and had a long way to go. He was aware that a large number of demons would gather for the Walpurgis, and many would try to step over the other to showcase their might and curry-favor the ones on top. As such he wanted to level up as much as he can in these seven days before the Walpurgis began.

Clearing his thought, he once again looked at the colony of amenodactyl down below and said “Let’s go.” His voice had an added tinge of determination in it. The Bloodthorn Demonic Warhorse neighed as if sensing his determination, its flaming body igniting brightly. A demon and a warhorse dived down among the groups of enemies, their motivation higher than before.
