Guy Crimson: Wake up, you lazy lizard ! I've got business with you."
Veldora: Hah? What business, you tomato head 🍅? Don't tell me you're here again to copy my Ultimate Skill?"
Guy Crimson: No! What do you think I am, some skill thief wandering around stealing powers?
Milim, Gaia, and Veldora: Yes 😏.
Guy Crimson: Unbelievable! These brats and that lizard… what do you all think I do in my free time?! 😤
Veldora laughed loudly, shaking the entire cave. Don't be so serious, Guy! You've kinda earned that reputation."
Guy Crimson: "You're testing my patience, Veldora…
Milim: Guy's just mad because we're right~ 😂"Guy took a deep breath, visibly calming himself while muttering. "One of these days…"
Veldora (grinning): So, what's the real reason you came here then, huh? If not to copy my skills?"
Guy Crimson (scratching his cheek): "Well… I heard you've got quite a large collection of souls 👻."
Veldora: Oh, that? Yeah, probably one or two million lying around. I'm not into collecting them like you demons 😌. About 500 years ago, some army led by that annoying Trio of Wisdom attacked me. I vaporized half of them in one blast 💥, and accidentally awakened two Unique Skills: Gluttony and Merciless. Then I tested them on the rest of the army 😈 — killed them all with Merciless, absorbed their souls with Gluttony. But since I can't use souls for evolution like your kind, I just stored them."
Guy Crimson (thinking): I knew this idiot awakened Gluttony, but I didn't know he also had Merciless. Well, I guess I should've expected that from someone who destroys cities for fun. Still, with both Gluttony and Merciless, there's a high chance he could eventually awaken the Ultimate Skill, Gluttonous King Beelzebuth. I've never heard of anyone besides Velzard and Veldanava possessing two Ultimate Skills… Though, since he's a True Dragon, it wouldn't be impossible. If that happens, it could be a serious problem.
Veldora: Whoa 😯 Gaia! That armor looks epic! Isn't it Legend-grade? Where'd you get it? Dwargon?
Gaia: Nope! Guy gave it to me 😄! He also gave me and big sis Milim these swords!
They proudly showed off their blades. Veldora leaned closer, eyes widening.
Veldora (thinking): Wait a second… that sword—Tenma Ashura?! The same one my brother Veldanava gifted to Guy!? That's a Genesis-grade weapon 😳.He glanced sharply at Guy. He gave away something that precious?!
Guy: Why are you staring at me like that?
Veldora: Nothing, nothing 😅. Anyway, what's this 'business' you wanted to discuss?
Guy: Oh, right. I need some of your souls. I plan to evolve Rain and Misery into Demon Lords.
Veldora: Hmm… I see 🤔. Souls, huh? I can lend you some, but what's my reward?"Guy: "I'll give you a Legend-grade sword ⚔️. That should do.
Veldora (rolling eyes): "Nah. I don't even use swords, and a Legend-grade one? Boooring 😴. Make it a God-grade weapon and we'll talk.
Guy: Forget it. I'm not stupid enough to hand you a God-tier weapon."He turned to leave, cape fluttering dramatically.
Veldora: "Wait, wait, tomato head 🍅! No need to get mad!
Guy stopped mid-step....What now?
Veldora: Alright, let's make this fair. Give me that Legend-grade sword and a downgraded version of your Ultimate Skill Pride King Lucifer. Just the Unique Skill version — Pride. Sounds fair, right? 😁
Guy sighed deeply. You really want everything, don't you? Fine. It's troublesome, but I'll agree.
Veldora: "Haha! Too late for that 😎!
Milim: "You two sound like kids trading candy 🍬!
Gaia: "More like cosmic children with world-ending powers…" 😅
Guy: "Exactly, and one of them is brainless.
Veldora: "Hey! I heard that!
Everyone burst into laughter as an annoyed Guy tried to hide his smirk 😏.
