Chapter 710: And if I win ?
Iris fully agreed with him and then asked, "What about Yelena? She hasn't participated in a real battle yet, so this might be an opportunity to test her powers in a real situation."
Miguel looked at Elias, who then said to Iris, "If we ever need reinforcements, you can take her with you, but she will be under your responsibility."
No one had anything else to add, so Elias and Miguel dismissed them, and as those who remained in this world went back to training, the others stayed with Elias, who opened a teleportation portal that led them all to the courtyard of the Royal Palace of the Demons, where Ian, Liam, Phil, Blaise, and the other Drakonits were waiting for them.
Before informing Roman, the King of the Drakonits, that they were coming, Elias took the time to explain the situation to Ian, Liam, and the others, as well as the plan they had put in place just in case.
Ian then said to Solomon, who had come with Sora to witness their departure, "Inform the other demons, make sure everyone is ready to leave if you receive the order."
Solomon simply nodded, and Elias then asked Sora, "Sora, contact your mother for me and ask her if it would be possible for her to bring us as much Cantium as possible. It's the metal used for the training towers. Tell her that we are willing to exchange any resource for this metal, it's very important."
"Of course, I will contact her after you leave and relay your request. I'm sure it won't be a problem," Sora said confidently.
After all, her mother had not hidden her desire to forge closer ties with their world and with the Warrior Spirits. So if Cantium could help with that, her mother would probably not hesitate to part with it, especially since the five training towers owned by the Black Elves were more than enough for their community, and there was no other use for this metal.
Elias turned his attention back to Ian and said to him, "Roman has been the King of the Drakonits since their creation by Lilith. He is very powerful, and he will definitely want to fight against you. It's part of their traditions, so don't refuse this battle and give it everything you've got. There will be no stakes.
If you lose the battle, the Drakonits who live here and want to continue following you will be able to do so."
"And if I win?" Ian asked, wanting to know what to expect.
Elias smiled and told him, "You are already the King of the Demons and the Drakonits in this world, so before the start of the battle, we will let them know that the title of the King of the free Drakonits does not interest you and that you only wish to measure your power through this fight."
Ian let out a sigh of relief and said to him, "Then it's settled! As you just said, I will finally be able to measure my power in this battle, I will give my best."
Elias nodded, satisfied with Ian's reaction, and finally looked at Isaac before saying to him, "It's time, contact Roman and let him know we're coming. I'll open the transdimensional portal at the usual location."
Isaac disappeared immediately and went to the empty prison dimension to contact Roman. He knew that Elias wanted to give his final instructions to Tarik, Lanis, Glen, and Malo so like that they wouldn't waste any time.
The transdimensional communication stone used to contact Roman was unique because it was the only one capable of passing through the force field that Miguel and Elias had created around the world of the free Drakonits. A Rune had been engraved on it by Miguel, and according to Roman's wish, he was the only one who could possess one.
Roman also held the only other one, and Isaac knew that Roman had chosen him to be their privileged interlocutor because he was the one who had initiated the first alliance between the Drakonits and the Warrior Spirits, and thanks to that, the Drakonits had all been able to live free from Lilith's influence and tyranny.
So he relayed the message to Roman, who told him to join them directly in the capital's arena. Isaac during their last conversation had obviously mentioned Ian to him, and from the sound of Roman's voice, he seemed really eager to fight against this talented young Drakonit.
After receiving Roman's agreement, Isaac returned to Elias and informed him of their conversation.
Isaac then said to him, "I find it strange. I tried to contact them for several days without any success, and the only thing I got from Roman was that everything was fine now. Honestly, he didn't seem under pressure at all, and he was even very enthusiastic about facing Ian. What do you think?"
Elias shrugged and said to him, "We'll find out soon enough, so don't worry too much! If everyone follows the plan, everything will go smoothly."
Before opening the transdimensional portal, Elias surrounded Tarik, Lanis, Glen, and Malo with a force field that would make them undetectable, allowing them to move freely in this world and see for themselves the situation of the Drakonits.
After that, Elias wasted no more time and he opened it, signaling for Isaac and Jordan to go first. Caleb and Kelan followed closely behind, and then it was Ian and Liam's turn, along with Phil, Blaise, and all the Drakonits.
Elias passed through the transdimensional portal and left it open for a few more seconds to allow Tarik and the others to join them.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately disperse in four different directions, and Elias then whistled when he saw from the top of the hill where they had landed the plains that still smelled of burnt flesh. Seeing that, there was no doubt about it, the Drakonits had indeed fought here not long ago.
