"What?! An Archdemon that is close to becoming a Demon Lord?!" General Pharrell exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table.
Someone would have reprimanded him but they are as shocked as him regarding the new Intel.
"How strong do you think the Archdemon would be?" ever the calm one, King Eskal asked the important question immediately.
"Strong that we will need about 20 A-rank to stand a chance." Bishop Pallus answered seriously.
"At least 20?! But the Archdemon is not a Demon Lord yet!" General Lanki said, almost yelling at this point.
"No, but close to be one would mean he could theoretically handle himself, or at least surviving an hour against a Hero, an existence at S-rank." the Bishop said with a serious tone.
This cause those in the council to gulp.
While they had never seen a Hero or any S-ranks in action, they have heard enough tales about them.
