Impatient Demon Kings

Zytherion, the Umbra Devil, who rarely spoke, broke his silence. "This is not about amusement or caution. It's about strategy. If these heroes are strong enough to threaten Alronuth, they may also threaten us."

Gorath countered sharply. "This reeks of paranoia. Heroes are nothing more than disposable pawns summoned by desperate humans. We have dealt with them for centuries. Those humans are touting this generation's heroes as far more powerful with powers to rival our own. It makes me want to see it for myself."

The Plague Monarch, Miasmara, chuckled darkly. "Let them rot. Alronuth is an arrogant fool. He challenged the high heaven and ended up miserably. But he still has his uses. Humanity weakens themselves trying to kill him, leaving us stronger."
