Well, nice try.
But, as I said dont be a sore loser.
A slight surge of power emanated from Legris, frying my Automatons until they popped like little fireworks.
That should do it.
He dusted his body to get rid of the microscopic particles on his body.
I couldnt do anything but watch as he exited through the entrance.
Im going to get promoted for this achievement, by the way.
I guess well meet sooner or later.
Until then, Jared.
Once Legris words were complete, he vanished from sightmost likely returning to whoever sent him to retrieve the Arcana.
Clenching my fist as I was left alone in the powerless Miasma Chamber, I gritted my teeth and looked at the hard ground.
Disappointment coursed through my body and I could feel the heat within me rise at a terrifying rate.
I failed! He got me! Shit!
With Legris gone, the negative emotions I locked away had full reign.
I was deluded into thinking I had full control, but I was playing someone elses game.
Just as I outwitted Legris back at Ainzlark, he paid me back in fullthis time at a much larger scale.
Damnit I whispered.
There was no second-guessing it.
I lost.

[One Week Later]
Within the fairly large seminar hall, there was a round table.
It appeared more oval shaped than circular, and seated around it were the most important people among the newly-established Alliance.
There was;
The Elf QueenAurora.
The Fairy RepresentativeJane
The Beast KingGerard
The Dwarf ChiefDulum
The Human KingAlbion
The Head Of The Newly Established Magic Beast Beast CouncilThe Mighty Dragon King Zark
Behind the seated ones stood one of their most trusted representatives.
They all looked at each other, discussing the path to the future.
For example, Jane began making conversation with Albion concerning what value the Eastern Kingdom could give her in exchange for fair relations.
The one who seemed the most out of his Element was the Dragon King.
He simply observed everyone in his miniaturized form, looking more like a puppy than a ferocious creature.
Everyone kept conversing, some making light humor or references, keeping the room lively as they expected one more person to join them.
While they were nearly complete, there was still a seat that was yet to be takenthe one at the front of the round table.
The seat left for the person truly in charge.
