Nux! What are you doing!?

"I've come to pick you up, Mother-in-law." 

Nux, who walked out of a portal spoke with a playful smile on his face. In front of him, there was Lazarus, Orpheus, Ambrosia, and Alaric.

"Oh? Lord Alaric is here as well." 

Nux spoke as he bowed his head and greeted Alaric. The Vampire King nodded, and then suddenly, a frown appeared on Nux's face. 

"The mood around here seems quite dull." 

"It is you who is unusually bright, Nux," Lazarus spoke. 

"But aren't I always like this?" Nux tilted his head in confusion. 

"This is not an everyday situation, Nux. 

You have declared War on Arcturus, the Dragon Lord. 

I know you are strong, however, he is not an opponent you can take lightly. Even if he is a 'reject' like you say, he is a strong reject." 

Alaric spoke with a grave look on his face.
