Since the 'Hive' mbers took the left side of the banquet hall, the right one was left for the group of 'Immortals. Since Omis, Addi, and Tizzy, were considered as the leaders of the group, they were invited to sit down on the main seats at the front with Krano.
Leyla and Lu Lu were not pleased to stay behind yet they did not argue with the decision. Krano was sitting in the middle seat, Omis, Tizzy, and Addi were seated to his left respectively.
To his right were the two God realm cultivators Omis saw before, a one-horned elegant red-haired beauty, next to her was a giant Lion that lazily laid down on the ground taking most of the space to itself.
Omis then glanced back where Rolus the monster butler was standing with a respectful expression on his face behind Krano. 'They must be the leaders of the 'Hive'.' thought Omis.
"Ah, I believe you haven't been introduced yet, allow ." Smiled Krano as he said to Omis and the rest.
"The beautiful lady right here next to is Beri." He said, his smile never leaving his face.
To that simple introduction, Beri raised the wine glass in the table in front of her at Omis and the rest as she spoke.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Immortal ntor, 'Underworld' Master, and sir White Devil." She said using all of their nicknas rather than their actual nas.
Addi and Omis were unconcerned, though Tizzy's face twitched. "I'm afraid that title Is no longer appropriate, there is no 'Underworld' anymore."
Giving a quick elegant bow, Beri swiftly apologized. "I did not an to be rude and offend you Grandmaster Tizzy." She said.
Waving his hand in dismissal, Tizzy replied. "No matter."
"I hope I was not being rude to either of you as well?" She asked as she glanced at Omis and Addi, her eyes lingering over Omis's body for a few seconds as she flashed him a toothy smile.
"Not at all, please call Omis." He answered with a smile of his own.
Addi simply glanced at her before he turned to look back at Omis and sighed while shaking his head.
"In that case do please call Beri as well, Omis." She said, her tone flirtatious.
"Ahem." Awkwardly coughed Krano bringing the attention back to him before he proceeded to continue with his introduction.
"And this is Lacess." He said while motioning at the giant Lion laying lazily on the floor.
With all their eyes on him, the Lion's glanced at them and lowered his head in a respectful bow, before closing his eyes back again into what seed to be ditation.
"Now that we have that behind, let the feast begin!" Clapped Krano, his voice loud reverberating throughout the entire banquet hall.
Soon enough, hundreds of maids and servants rushed through the doors carrying various plates, and drinks. Krano's table was served first since it contained the leaders of both sides.
Omis glanced at the colorful dishes in front of him, the last ti he tried to them they were very tasty. Krano looked at him and ushered him to begin.
"Please help yourself. All of you are our honored guests." He said with a smile.
With that, Omis who already had a taste for the 'Hive' delicacies once before began eating with a satisfied expression on his face. At their levels, food was not needed but they could still enjoy it.
Tizzy who was next to him also glanced at the plates in front of him in curiosity, seeing Omis eating so happily, he moved in to try a bite hesitantly before shortly enjoying it.
Addi was the only one that refrained from eating anything. His face remained expressionless as he poured himself a cup from the wine they were served.
Soon the entire hall was filled with chatter, as both sides beca noisy, each engaging in their conversations. It was then that a 'Hive' mber from the humanoid faction suddenly stood up and raised his cup.
Omis glanced at him for a second and saw that he was raising his cup in Leyla's direction, before he spoke. "I Vugall, raise this cup to the little Devil of the 'Underworld' for saving my life!" He said loudly, instantly silencing the surroundings.
Leyla who was sitting down with a dazed look on her face was suddenly confused as she pointed at herself with a perplexed expression. Vugall gave a toothy grin and downed his cup at once.
"Uh, I saved you?" Muttered Leyla. She didn't rember anything of sorts, during the previous fight she was just too busy hunting down enemies to sate her anger that she didn't really pay much heed to the others.
Cheers soon followed from both sides, as the mood slowly softened between them. A slight chuckle escaped from Omis's lips as he glanced at Leyla's confused face.
Beri, who was watching the entire ordeal turned to look at him and raised her cup as well. "Well, I guess it's only appropriate for to raise my cup to you as well, Omis." She said calling his na.
Raising his cup as well, Omis accepted her toast and replied. "I'm sure that you did not need my help. You were managing yourself quite well before we ca." He said.
"Still I'd like to thank you. If there is anything you'd like, do please let know." She replied with a glint in her eyes.
"I'll be sure to take your offer, Ugh!" He suddenly grunted as his face twisted into one of pain.
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Ah, yes, yes, just a cramp." He said as he turned to glare at Addi who was still drinking nonchalantly.
'Why did you hit you bastard?!' He asked using his divine ssage. Sohow, even though there was Tizzy between them, Addi still managed to land a hit on him without anyone seeing anything!
'I see that you are getting awfully chummy with the monster lady.' Replied Addi with a ssage of his own.
'Tsk, should have figured you'd be jealous. I'm sorry Addi, but I don't swing that way.' Replied Omis in a serious tone.
'This little...' Addi's eyes widened as he turned to glare at Omis who was still smiling at Beri.
'Oh co on, don't be such a prude. Look at her, tell she's not pretty.' Said Omis. To that, Addi simply rolled his eyes and refrained from saying anything.
