《ELECTUS - A tale of Peaceful Demons.》A Human Staff

With no aim to agree, Commander Alia corrected. "Every Lava Controller holds a big responsibility, regardless of Level. If one group of levels is missing, the rest can't perform the main impenetrable defensive attack."
"So it's all about Teamwork." Eric pondered that fact wit himself, murmuring.
A question popped in his head, so the young boy has to ask. "What do the Experts and Magicians do?!"
Giving a small smile towards the fact that Eric understood what the point was. Unintentionally ignoring his question though, she winked and stated. "It is teamwork that offers an unbreakable attack to this Town and it is teamwork that will help us reclaim our first kingdom."
With perception not his best friend, Mogranius didn't exactly hear the war talk and decided to talk about something that would feed his ego furthermore. "But I held a shield against your unbreakable Attack for quite a long time."
Raising his hands up and gesturing as if he was calming down a huge crowd, with a cocky tone the old man continued to boast. "Yes yes I am that powerful, please settle down! Also Eric pushed back everything you had to launch against us so... your attack isn't exactly unbreakable."
To such sentences, although cocky and mostly true, she didn't bother arguing about them. These two Fire Wizards are no doubt powerful even though they would be torched if the Calidum Lutum continued with their attacks earlier. No one managed to break the main attack before Eric did. Except one.
She took a few steps towards Mogranius, close enough that they were only half a foot apart. Calm and slow, she chirps. "I usually toss loud mouths like you, all the way down that Volcano. But you're lucky that I don't hate you."

Although it was more of a threat, the Geezer understood it as a flirt. Which is what forced him to drip sweat followed along by heavy breathing. He feels frozen on his spot and shortly after falling on his back, quite of a Love coma.
Not trying to be heard, Eric murmured with himself. "Alright I did not come here to see old people flirt."
He noticed Commander Alia taking steps back from Mogranius and giving Eric a, "I will throw you down the volcano look."
Noticing her facial reaction and a possible upcoming head smacking, Eric covered up his words with. "I mean... beautifully old people flirt."
Letting out a joyful sigh to such cute acts, she proceeded to mock Eric. "Fear does speak louder than reasoning to some."
A question still sticking with him and another one just emerging, Eric found it as the best time to ask. "I have two questions. What do the Experts and Magicians do in this so called Teamwork and how are we going to reclaim our first Kingdom?"
Jerking her head back, surprised to hear such questions from a child. She cut it short, "Experts just make sure that Magicians don't get burned alive, there is only so much they can handle so the Experts split the Lava in many pieces as well while Magicians aim at the target."
Astonishingly able to catch up to everything, he stated the facts better than Alia did after receiving a brief explanation. "So basically this large team of Lava Controllers is like a human staff, branching lava from the bottom to the top."
Curling her lips, too tired to argue. She approved. "Odd way to describe it, but you have a point."
Not noticing that he left Commander Alia in a bit of a shock, the young boy simply repeated his second question. "What about reclaiming a Kingdom though?"

Noticing that she has been accidentally ignoring his questions, she gave half a smile and asserted. "Have you ever heard about Gaster Kingdom?"
Waking up from his love coma the second he heard that name, Mogranius hollered. "I know this one, actually I was born there and I moved to Crutal Kingdom to further my studies. But why attack my home?"
Before continuing such a time worthy conversation, at first she has to do something of higher importance, which is teasing Mogranius. "Look who finally woke up. Having nice dreams I suppose?"
Knowing that there is at least a little feelings in her heart for him, he went into another level with the flirtful compliments. "Indeed. Dreaming about you is never a bad dream."
Trying her best to avoid a visible blush, she stuck to war talk. "I personally scouted Gaster Kingdom. I lived there for a few months for research similar to this plan, looking for their weak spots."
Curious, knowing that Mogranius can't ask such a question. Eric inquired instead, "Did you find out anything of use?"
Bold, she replied, "Yes."
And continued to state facts as if she sat down and tried to memorize everything before. "That place is too far from most domains, not to mention the income is flat due to the land there being too harsh for anyone to start a farm."
A bit puzzled, Eric tried to question. "But what does that have to do with..."
Mogranius interrupted, "Yes Yes. Keep on offending my place of birth, I love it." Although not pissed enough to be considered angry, he still doesn't like how his home Kingdom's name is slandered.
Noticing that Mogranius wasn't exactly angry, she proceeded with a bit of sarcasm. "You're welcome."
Afterwards turning to Eric who's practically the only one worthy to talk about such a topic, she continued. "Since there's no profit there, the illustratian Alliance aren't there either and neither are the illas they finance. These facts alone should make invasion a breeze, Gaster Kingdom is weak."
Eric follows up, seeing the plan reasonable and of course doable. "This plan sounds flawless. But exactly how many Soldiers do you think we need?"
Right after Eric finishes his question, he sees the two previous ten foot tall Calidum Lutum bringing in Woldemir and Stefan.
They're carrying them on their shoulders though, signifying that the two tried some sort of resistance against the Calidum Lutum, one of the large men even has a fresh cut through his chest.
Likely the work of Woldemir with the help of his trusty Dagger, it doesn't seem to have been enough though.
Looking at the fact that Woldemir actually managed to cause damage on one of the Calidum Lutum, she states. "Looks like you have all the soldiers we need."

To counteract that is about eighty percent of the reason I'm writing this. The beginning might be a slow burn but I promise I'm bringing up some awesome scenes and moments once you're invested. Again, this is not some fast food xianxia. But I can say that as a lover of the genre I won't be completely shying away from the stuff that got myself hooked into it in the first place. DISCORD NOW AVAILABILE!
