Chapter 901 Queen Rhiannon’s Treasure Vault?
"Since all of you decided to fight, in a possible war against the Demon Lord of the 12th Layer, Andras, I have decided to open up the treasury of the Passion Palace," Queen Rhiannon announced. "All of you are only allowed to take two items from my treasure trove. Take one more than you're supposed to, and…"
Queen Rhiannon didn't finish her sentence and simply gave the men and the Satyrs a devilish smile that spoke volumes.
After Queen Rhiannon used her authority to make an announcement that could be heard within the 13th Layer, the number of Satyrs who had gathered in the Passion Palace was just a little over a thousand.
The rest who didn't wish to fight hid themselves in the mountains, far away from the portal that led to the 12th Layer of the Abyss.
As for the Succubi, who were only around five hundred, they were to remain inside the Passion Palace during the war.
Even though the 13th Layer didn't have legions of monsters that served as its army, Queen Rhiannon alone was enough to handle most threats.
Her power as a Demigod was the real deal.
In truth, during her battle against Lux and his comrades, she didn't unleash her full powers for fear that she might accidentally kill the Half-Elf in the process.
She had limited her strength to the Initial Stages of a Demigod when her true powers were somewhere in the middle stages.
Now that war was threatening her territory, she no longer had a reason to hold back, and she would fight using her full powers against the Abyssal Lord, whose greed knew no bounds.
"Now, go," Queen Rhiannon announced as she waved her hand, unlocking the Vault that stored the treasures she had collected over the past hundred years.
Although she was reluctant to do this, she deemed that these treasures would be useless if they weren't used for the benefit of her domain.
The Satyrs all entered the Vault with very eager expressions on their faces.
Lux and the others shared the same excitement, and they entered the Treasure Vault to see if there were any items that they could use for the upcoming battle.
"I have never seen so many Mythical, Pseudo-Legendary, and Legendary items in one place," Malcolm muttered in awe as stared at the countless rare ores, gold, gems, weapons, armor, and miscellaneous items that were scattered across the entire Vault, which was as big as an entire football stadium.
"Remember, all of you are only allowed to get two items each," Queen Rhiannon reminded everyone, whose faces had become greedy after seeing her collection. "No more than two if you value your lives."
The Satyrs didn't bat an eye and immediately picked up pieces of armor, which they believed would help them survive the upcoming battle.
Some picked short bows and short swords, which were the common weapons they used to fight.
Xander and Malcolm directly headed to the sword area and feasted their eyes on the Legendary Swords that were up for grabs.
Lux didn't join everyone immediately and simply crossed his arms over his chest.
His Soul Book hovered in front of him, and it was checking every item inside the treasury, searching for the most suitable artifacts that would serve him and his own Army best.
Since there were countless treasures inside the Treasure Vault, he wasn't in a hurry to join the others, which surprised the Succubus Queen.
"Why aren't you joining them?" Queen Rhiannon asked as she walked beside the Half-Elf, who was busy looking at his Soul Book.
Since Lux didn't give Queen Rhiannon any permission to see it, she thought that Lux was just staring into empty air.
"Your Majesty, I have a request," Lux said. "I am wondering if you can do me a favor."
"A favor?" Queen Rhiannon arched an eyebrow. "What kind of favor?"
The Half-Elf made a gesture of wanting to whisper something in her ear, so she decided to hear him out.
"If possible, I want you to…" Lux whispered.
Queen Rhiannon frowned after hearing the Half-Elf's request.
"Aren't you a little too greedy?" Queen Rhiannon glared at the Half-Elf who was asking for more than what she had stated.
"Believe me when I say that I'm not saying this because of greed," Lux insisted. "I'm doing this to give us a better chance of winning."
The frown on Queen Rhiannon's face deepened as she stared at the Half-Elf, whom she considered the main fighter in the battle that was about to knock on her doorstep.
"Very well," Queen Rhiannon said. "But wait until everyone leaves the Treasury."
Lux nodded. "Understood."
Since the Succubus Queen had stated that everyone could only take two items from the treasury, she decided to let Lux choose the treasures he would need after everyone was done picking theirs.
She didn't want anyone to think that she was giving Lux preferential treatment, and the Half-Elf knew this as well.
Two hours later, only Lux and Queen Rhiannon remained inside the Treasury because everyone had already taken the treasures they wanted.
As if to make sure that no one would take a peek later, the Succubus Queen waved her hand and closed the doors behind her.
"Guys, it's our turn," Lux said with a smile. "Only two items, so choose wisely."
All of his Named Creatures, as well as the members of his Covenant, with the exception of Bedivere and General Garret, appeared around him.
Asmodeus also summoned Morpheus and Ithaqua because Lux had found items that were suitable for Lich King's two henchmen.
King Leoric had also summoned his Knights because Lux had also given them permission to join the fun.
Suddenly, Blackfire appeared out of nowhere and spat a person who looked familiar to him.
Although there were great changes in his body, his face remained the same, allowing the Half-Elf to recognize him.
The person that Blackfire spat was none other than Leonidas, who was holding a flaming spear and shield in both hands.
His skin was red, and flames would occasionally erupt from it, making him look like a creature that wouldn't look out of place in the Abyss.
In fact, Queen Rhiannon thought that he was an Abyssal Creature at first because he radiated the stench of the Abyss.
"It is an honor to finally see you again, Master." Leonidas gave Lux a brief nod. "The mere thought of fighting alongside you makes this second chance at life worth it."
"You honor me with your words, Leonidas," Lux replied. "Having you here puts my mind at ease."
As someone whom Lux had recognized as a true warrior, Leonidas didn't need to bow and kneel before him to prove his allegiance.
He could tell that the Agarthian was willing to fight for him, and that was enough.
Just as Lux thought that Blackfire's unexpected surprise was over, the Black Coffin spat several more people, which made the corner of Queen Rhiannon's lips twitch.
Aside from Leonidas, Blackfire had spat out the Gladiators from the Arena, the Bounty Hunters who were once Sion's subordinates, and the two Saints that he acquired not long ago.
The Giant Tiger, whom Vera had crushed in the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, was now emitting black flames, making it look more sinister.
The High Templar, who had been burned to a crisp after slashing Eiko's Nuclear Blast Bomb, had made a full recovery and was wearing a Paladin's Attire, with his eyes burning with infernal flames.
Both of them knelt in front of Lux and swore their allegiance to him.
Queen Rhiannon who was feeling displeased earlier, now had a smile on her face after seeing Leonidas and the two Saints appear in front of her.
What her army was lacking was High-Level Warriors, so having these three made her feel that she could forgive the Black Coffin for bringing uninvited guests, who also joined the others in looking for items inside her treasury.
