When Camille went to the briefing room at the Jade Palace, the Oga Team and Forty-two were waiting for her inside.
Starting from their first mission, they talked about the bone golem factory under the museum, which they managed to destroy.
Fortunately, the golem they took back with them arrived safely at Novis, and Paige and the other scientists had been studying it for days.
When they talked about the Death Knight that appeared at the underwater cave, Camille wanted to know more about them after Dante warned them of their potential danger.
With complete honesty, the warlock stated that he didn't think anyone from the Jade Dragons would be able to defeat a Death Knight in their current state.
So Death Knights were much weaker than others, but considering Netherius' skills, Dante knew that he wouldn't keep any weaklings around unless he used them as bait.
Back in his old world, when Dante and his party fought against Netherius' Death Knights army, he rembered that most of them were capable of speech, which was a sign that they were the strongest type of Death Knights they could be.
While the Death Knight that appeared in the underwater cave wasn't as mighty as the ones from the past, he still had to use a decent amount of power to defeat him.
Dante's theory was that Netherius couldn't find warriors who were as powerful as the ones he used in Terra, which would have an effect on how strong the Death Knight would be.
"You see, for a necromancer to create a Death Knight, they need the individual to devote their services to them while they are still alive. If the person were a powerful warrior in his life, they would most certainly beco one of the strongest types of knights…" Dante elaborated.
In their old world, Netherius was able to recruit strong mages, warriors, and assassins to beco his Death Knights, but he doubted he would find similar people on Earth.
The hostages that were being kept in the underwater cave could have the potential to beco one, but they wouldn't be near the level of the ones he encountered in the past.
Moreover, Netherius's ability to resurrect the wizard Wolfram into Don Ruben's body ant that there was a possibility that he could bring his past servants as well.
Understanding that their teams would need more training to battle Netherius' army, they moved on to the next topic—the elephant in the room—Android Forty-two.
Camille had already been notified that Dante used a demon's soul to give the android full sentience, but she wanted to hear the details from the warlock.
After turning Astaroth's soul into a soulstone, Dante cleansed it little by little during his free ti.
He had only saved the soulstone in case they needed it later, and after he had erased all of Astaroth's inherent malevolence, it retained only its pure, structural fra.
With the fra devoid of the demon's forr identity, it beca the perfect vessel, ready to be filled with the android's persona.
"I suppose this falls into the category of 'demonology' since I basically created a new type of demon…" Dant elaborated.
Even though Dante was a warlock, he always showed his clear disdain for demons—except for Cerberus, whom everyone liked.
As an individual who didn't enjoy using demons as his allies or puppets, he never tried to create a new type of demon during his growth as a warlock. Nevertheless, the situation with Android Forty-two made him believe that it was the only option he had to help her.
"I see… I an, I did tell you to follow your gut," Camille replied, approaching the android with a curious expression.
"A new type of demon, huh?" The handler muttered as she stood less than a ter away from Forty-two.
When Camille detailed her long, blonde hair and purple eyes, she found it amusing how an android that looked like a beautiful woman was actually a new demon.
"I'm a Hell-Cyborg!" Forty-two proudly exclaid.
"A… Hell-Cyborg?" Camille repeated questioningly.
"That sounds pretty cool…" she continued.
"Right!?" Zac interjected.
"Still, I think Dante should give you a real na… Forty-two was your android number, but you have a soul now," Camille comnted, glancing at the warlock.
The android widened her eyes in surprise. She wasn't expecting to get a real na, and the notion of it hadn't even crossed her mind until that mont.
"Hmm, you are right… All demons have a na, and it would be strange to keep calling her by her android number," Dante replied, placing a hand on his chin.
As Dante glanced and took a good look at Forty-two's new soul, he began thinking of a na that would suit her well.
"The fra of her soul is the sa type that the "Ifrits" from hell have…" Dante muttered to himself, confusing the others present in the room.
"How about… Sami?" He said with a bit of uncertainty.
However, right as he said the na, the android's eyes lit up with happiness, and the positive energy flowing from her body was enough to let the warlock know that she liked it.
"Mhmm, it suits her well," Camille comnted with a smile, extending her hand towards her.
"Sami, the Hell-Cyborg… Would you like to join the Jade Dragons? Naturally, you would be on Dante's team," Camille asked, wanting the android to make her choices willingly.
With a bright smile on her face, Sami shook Camille's hand with enthusiasm and accepted the offer, dropping her head down slightly.
By reading the flow of energy coming from Sami, Dante could tell that if she were able to cry, she would've been crying from happiness at that mont.
After Sami had found her identity and beca the newest mber of the Oga Team for the Jade Dragons, Camille decided to move on to the next steps of the war against the cartel.
While the Oga Team was in the north dealing with the necromancer's sches, Camille had been investigating and looking for the hostages that were marked by the cartel's curse.
However, she needed Dante's input on it, as he was more knowledgeable about the topic than anyone else at the Jade Palace.
