"The important event is about to begin. Instead of continuing to fight, you should let your master recover." Seeing the situation on the verge of erupting, Serafall said coldly.
"What are you talking about…? You trash from the Bael family, I'll kill you!" Zephyrdor said ferociously, struggling to stand up from the ground. Being knocked unconscious in front of so many people was a disgrace that could only be washed away with the other party's blood.
"How embarrassing. Is this the cream of the crop of the younger generation of devils, a relative of the Devil King Asmodeus, the next head of the Glasya-Labolas family? You're really an embarrassment."
Looking at Zephyrdor, who was still trying to win with words, Arthas shook his head in disappointment.
When Grayfia had specifically mentioned his name, Arthas had been somewhat cautious and attentive in his heart, wondering what kind of person this guy was, but after seeing him, Arthas was extremely disappointed.
All he saw was a spoiled brat who, after gaining some decent strength, relied on his family background to do whatever he wanted.
"Where did you come from, you mongrel?! How dare you call Lord Asmodeus by name!"
Although he said it very nicely, no one actually dared to cause trouble for Serafall. At this time, Arthas, who had suddenly spoken, naturally attracted their attention. Although Arthas had lowered his voice and was talking to himself, everyone present was a devil, so they naturally heard what he said very easily.
Seeing this reckless guy hiding behind Serafall, Zephyrdor's familiars all turned their attention to him.
However, although they had turned their attention to Arthas, because Serafall was standing in front of him, the familiars still didn't dare to act rashly and were just trying to win with words.
"I'm just a soldier under the Gremory family, and… you can't just say some things carelessly."
Arthas was insulted, and just as Rias couldn't help but want to take action, Arthas raised a hand and pointed it in the air. A bone-chilling cold instantly swept through everyone's bodies, and before anyone could react to what was happening, the guy who had spoken rudely was covered in a layer of faint frost and collapsed with a scream.
A slender icicle had pierced his shoulder, completely penetrating it.
Arthas remembered Grayfia's words: don't kill anyone at the gathering, otherwise, the icicle would have appeared in his head.
"Save… save me… cold… so cold!"
The devil who had collapsed with a scream was convulsing all over. The ice that had gathered on his body was getting thicker and thicker, and his companions wanted to help but didn't know where to start, because as soon as they touched his body, they would be injured by the merciless frost.
"Don't worry, he won't die… well, he won't die for now."
Arthas said with a smile, and the rest of Zephyrdor's familiars, who were caught by his gaze, couldn't help but shrink back.
The Gremory family's genius soldier, who had once used ice to extinguish the Phenex family's flames in a fair Rating Game, fought against the Fallen Angel executive Kokabiel, forced back the terrorist organization 'Chaos Brigade', and emerged unscathed from the self-destruction of the Devil King Leviathan's heir.
The legends about this mysterious new devil could be said to have spread throughout the Underworld, but many people didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just the Gremory family creating momentum for their next head.
But after seeing this legendary soldier take action with their own eyes today, everyone knew that all of his legends were true!
Don't touch Arthas's ice carelessly, or you won't even know how you died.
Only now did they clearly realize that these words were not alarmist.
"Hmph, daring to insult the people of my Gremory family; that alone is enough to die ten thousand times over. Now take your master and get out!"
Arthas's decisive action made Rias feel extremely happy. Stepping forward from behind Serafall, Rias released her young lady aura without reservation.
"Get out; this is your last chance. Also, Princess of the Agares family, go touch up your makeup. You can't bring evil things to the event."
"I… I understand." The duchess with glasses quickly left with her familiars. As for the delinquent familiars, they ran even faster, probably to report the situation.
"Haha, as expected of the one hailed as the strongest soldier in the Underworld. How about we spar sometime?"
After the room had quieted down, Serafall heavily patted Arthas on the shoulder, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
"Um… I think I'll pass. Our fighting styles might not mesh well. If it's just a normal spar, I might not be able to perform very well."
Looking at the burning flames in Serafall's eyes, Arthas said with a wry smile. He was most helpless when it came to these violent battle maniacs.
"Normal battle? Then, what about a death match?" Serafall's expression became serious. Just as Arthas was racking his brains for an answer, a familiar voice rang out.
"Rias, you've arrived too."
Wearing an elegant evening gown, Souna came to Rias and the others alone. In order to keep Arthas's identity from being exposed, she had specially arranged for her familiars to be in a side hall.
Looking at the beautiful girl who had appeared before him, Arthas couldn't help but reveal a look of apology, but the latter shook her head, looking as if she didn't mind at all.
"Greetings, Serafall-sama."
Bowing slightly to Serafall, Souna had less of a scholarly air and more of an imposing manner tonight, because she had come to the gathering as the next head of the Sitri family.
The hall, after the commotion just now, had been repaired by the staff who had rushed over using magic and had mostly returned to its original state. The young devils had also gathered again, and everyone except for the delinquent and his familiars was gathered around the tables.
"I am Seekvaira Agares. My rank is Duke, and I am the next head of the Agares family." The girl with glasses, having tidied up her clothes, was the first to introduce herself somewhat respectfully.
"Greetings, I am Rias Gremory. The next head of the Gremory family."
"I am Souna Sitri. The next head of the Sitri family."
Rias and Souna also gave brief introductions in succession.
"I am Serafall Bael. My rank is Great King, and I am the next head of the Bael family."
Serafall's self-introduction gave off a domineering feeling. As the No. 1 of the younger generation, it was only natural for him to have such an aura. At this time, a soft voice that didn't sound like a man's at all rang out.
"I am Diodora Astaroth. The next head of the Astaroth family. Everyone, please take care of me."
The boy, who looked frail, had a gentle and amiable smile, but Arthas took an extra look at him.
Of the Four Great Devil Kings, Lucifer represented the Gremory family, Leviathan represented the Sitri family, Beelzebub represented the Astaroth family, and the last, Asmodeus, represented the delinquent's Glasya-Labolas family.
The next heads of the Devil King families, as well as Serafall of the Bael family, which was second only to the Devil Kings, and the princess of the Agares family, who was responsible for conveying the Devil Kings' orders, could be said to be a microcosm of the future high-level members of the Underworld.
