BXBX NOVEL Chapter 484 Preperations With Aspiration
"Your Highness, it is good to see you. What have you graced us with your presence for today?"
"Send out a message to everybody that we will be expanding our army. Also, tell them to prepare for war," I said, but it was more like an announcement as the entire hall froze. A few dhampirs from the other sections of this building poked their heads in and smiled. Everybody smiled. Everybody grinned with excitement.
And before I was rushed with questions, I exited my quasi-world and reappeared in the dark alleyway. My heart raced with excitement as this new privilege of controlling an entire city presented itself to me.
So, with just my very own will, I dragged anybody and everybody that I could find into this alleyway in a slow and tedious process. I converted them into dhampirs instantly and made sure they adapted to their new cravings and such through my quasi-world. And one single day may have only produced a few… but over time, it would surely stack up.

(Luna POV)
"How are you so sure he\'ll come? He\'s abandoned you all for all that I know. There is not a single trace of him in hell…"
"Which is exactly why I believe he will come. He\'s somewhere. I don\'t know where, and I have no clue as to where that place might be, but I know he\'s somewhere and he\'ll be coming back to help us," I responded and as the boy with blue hair snarled at my persistent attitude, he dismissed me with a wave of his hand.
I hated that arrogant tone of his. I hate that disgusting look on his face. I hated even the detestable skills that he used, but there was no denying his influence. I wanted to kill him at first but doing that now would just be plain suicide. Not only would his lackeys come after me, but the other demon lords would have me executed for taking out such a large figure before the start of the war.
"How many years… forty-eight… right? I can\'t even remember but we\'re closing in on the fifty-year mark for sure…" I muttered to myself as I walked through the seemingly endless palace.

Recently, I had just evolved. It was something I wanted to share with my friends but due to their location being unknown even to the strong intel-gathering forces of Belphegor, I could not. Well, maybe except for that man…
Finding the materials all on my own in this massive capital that worked surprisingly well was torturous. For thirty long years, in between training sessions with the demon lord, I raised money and bought the materials. Multiple times I lost them due to a lack of money or me being straight-up robbed, unable to do anything with my measly support skills, but in the end, I always asked myself… what would Orion do?
With insufficient systematical power and insufficient funds, two of the most important things were already out for the count. Not only could I not just straight up buy the item, but even if I did, I lacked the power to defend myself… so once again, I asked myself: what would Orion do?
These continuous thoughts made me reflect on what I have said in the past. At first, I looked down on Bella, Cy, and even Aisa and Findir on occasion because of how much they looked up to that young man. I didn\'t see it. I couldn\'t see it as I was blinded by my own pride, believing I was truly on the level of Orion. But just because I reaped the same rewards as him doesn\'t mean I stood on the same ground as him. He was a mountain above while I stared up from the base, unable to find a path toward him.
"Y-Young Miss! It\'s an emergency! The Demon God\'s forces have attacked! They\'ve currently broken through the outer layer of the walls and are pillaging the commoners!" A servant suddenly came running up to me and as I listened to the entire report, a shadowy figure hung behind me.
"Don\'t worry. You don\'t have to say anything… I\'ve already dealt with it. Your preparations won\'t be in vain…" A dark elf sneered from behind me, the crown of white horns sprouting from the very front of his head shimmering with a bone-white glow.
I felt inferior to Orion and when I hit my lowest, even after having so much pride, I ended up falling back on him. I needed his way of thinking as guidance. And upon realizing just how stupid and humiliating that was, I changed myself. This was no way to surpass him or even get on his level, so I studied hard, worked on my own methods, planned my own thoughts, added my own twist and change to whatever I had prepared… and finally, I felt it. I had taken a step up towards the peak that the man sat on.
"Findir… let\'s get going now. I want to see my work surpass Orion."
