Inhuman Warlock

The Kind of Aquarians was highly respectful towards the new guests to the point that even the people around the King were surprised. They had never seen their King be this respectful to anyone.

Even when the Star Alliance General arrived last time, the King was only cordial but not this respectful.

"I didn't expect Senior Alron would attend my birthday banquet. Your presence has made this celebration even more special," the King expressed with genuine gratitude.

The King had a humanoid physique but with distinctive aquatic adaptations. His skin was a striking iridescent blue-green, with subtle scales covering his body, which glistened in the light. His tall and lithe frame was well-suited for swimming, with webbed fingers and toes for efficient underwater movement.

The King's hair was long and flowing, resembling strands of kelp, and it changed colour based on the surroundings, ranging from deep blues when in water to vibrant purples when on the surface.

His eyes were large and round, with vibrant, multi colored irises that could adapt to low light conditions underwater. Gills along the sides of his neck also appeared slightly distinct.

The King's regal attire included ornate seashell-inspired jewellery and a flowing robe made of intricately woven seaweed. He exuded an aura of wisdom and authority, befitting his role as the ruler of the Aquarian Species, and his presence is a captivating blend of aquatic grace and regal majesty.

Unfortunately, before the guests, he appeared no different than a child who was standing before an Elder.

Although no one knew who this person was for the King to be so respectful towards him, it was clear that neither the person's identity nor his strength was low.

The King of Aquarians appeared like a kind hearted person the way he talked to the guest standing before him, but only his staff knew that this was far from true. That's why his performance was even more surprising.

"Who might that little girl be? Is she your granddaughter?" The King of Aquarians asked the guest who was accompanied by a teenage girl.

For the most part, the guests also looked like ordinary humans. But they both had dragon-like wings coming out of their backs and horns.

The guards accompanying the king were slightly surprised. The guest appeared to be only in his late twenties. How could the person next to him be his grandfather? Was he really that old?

The man who arrived as a guest had deep red eyes, and long flaming red hair that came down to his waist. Usually, people who had traits similar to flames were worse in Aquatic conditions, but the man appeared completely fine. If anything, it was as if this entire place had now become his domain.

When the King of Aquarians talked about the girl accompanying him, the Draconian man's expression became colder. Seeing that, the King felt his entire blood turning cold.

He didn't know if he had made the person angry. In any case, he couldn't afford that. Although this place belonged to him, but the man before him was no ordinary man.

If the man was angry, he could destroy the entire sea in the blink of an eye.

He was from a Secluded Species that rarely made an appearance in the world. Just because of that, most of the ordinary world had already forgotten about them.

The one reason he knew about their Species was because he had come across them when he once visited their world almost five hundred years ago.

At that time, he was just a child. However he will distinctly remembered everything. Even though it was almost five hundred years ago, but he had seen the person in that world. He looked just like he did now.

In almost five hundred years, he didn't appear to age even a single year. The King couldn't even grasp to imagine just how old that person was.

"M-my mistake. You must be tired. Please come inside."

He didn't know who the girl next to the man was, but it didn't matter. He just had to be a good guest and hope that nothing went wrong.

Despite his curiosity about why the Draconians came to his birthday banquet, he didn't dare ask. All he could guess was that it has something to do with the recent commotion. Many hidden clans had started appearing once again.

The two Draconians were escorted inside the Palace by the King himself, as if these two were some gods who had descended to their world.

While entering the Palace, the girl next to the Draconian stopped for a second. She couldn't help but look back.

"Did you see something?" Alron asked his younger sister, wondering why she had slowed down. He also looked back but he couldn't see anything.

The young girl called Evelyn shook her head and replied, "It's nothing."

She continued following the King of Aquarians who was silently waiting for them without making the slightest noise.

Lucifer walked through the streets of the Royal City aimlessly, simply observing the surroundings akin to a wandering god.

With the King's Birthday, many guests had been arriving in the city from various worlds, because of which no one found his presence particularly suspicious.

In the first place, no suspicious person should've been able to pass through the strict checking at the main entrance after all. The only strange thing about him was that the person didn't have a protective barrier around his body.

Still, the Draconians that had just arrived in the City had caught a lot of attention. They also didn't have any protective barrier. Because of them, Lucifer stood up even less.

Before long, Lucifer reached the Royal Palace after wandering for an hour. He stood merely ten metres away from the Royal Palace entrance.

Because of the Celebration, the Royal Palace was brightly lit up. Many guests could be seen entering the Royal Palace one after another.

Amongst the guest was also the Merchant Clan Head that Lucifer had seen along the way. The Clan Head was accompanied by just one person who was carrying the gift for him.

After his identification was checked, the Clan Head was allowed to enter the Royal Palace.

Lucifer also walked to the Royal Palace, his long robe flowing gracefully as he made his way through the passage.
