"Stop staring at them like that, darling. You are looking like a creep," Amber chided, which caused Victor to blush in embarrassment. He looked around and sighed in relief when he saw no one had noticed his disgraceful behavior.

They passed through the corridor, and a maid blocked their path and said to Seraphina, "Princess, the Queen said to go to the dining room. She has prepared a banquet for your guests, and the King will personally attend."

Seraphina nodded and said, "I understand."

She then led the group to the banquet room.

Seraphina led Victor, Amber, Rina, and Valerie to the banquet room.

The first thing that came into their view was a large, rectangular, luxurious table, with demon maids bringing out all sorts of mouth-watering dishes to the table.

Gulp.

Victor turned his head and saw Valerie looking at the food with drool dripping from her lips. Valerie seemed to notice someone’s gaze and saw Victor and the girls looking at her with a weird expression, and her face turned beet red with embarrassment as she hurriedly wiped the drool.

Growl.

Valerie and Victor looked at Amber and Rina, whose stomachs seemed to growl as they kept an indifferent expression, but the faint red dust on their cheeks told a different story.

Victor did not blame them, especially Valerie, who was still a normal human who was not that high-level and could not go on without food, as the last meal they had was a long time ago.

Just as Victor was about to tease them, Queen Maria stepped forward and greeted them, "Welcome to our humble abode, guests. We have prepared a banquet for you. Please join us."

She said as she gestured to the group. Victor looked and saw Prince Jack had already taken a seat and waved at them.

"Then don’t mind us," Victor said as he elegantly took a seat, and Amber and Rina took seats on both sides of him.

"I thought the King was going to come," Victor asked with a raised eyebrow.

Just as Maria was about to reply, they felt a presence, and she said with a smile, "Looks like my husband is here."

"King Alaric of House Luxem is arriving," a guard announced, and everyone rose to their feet. Even Victor stood up without complaint, as this was the minimum respect he needed to show, and...

"Peak Tier 5." Victor broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the handsome, middle-aged demon who had long black hair and two zigzag horns on top of his forehead, wearing an extremely luxurious robe that was enchanted with runes.

He glanced at Amber and Rina, who had sweat trickling down their foreheads as they could sense the aura even though he had suppressed it. Only Valerie seemed nonchalant, as she could not sense it.

Victor did not even dare to use his pupil technique, as he did not want to risk offending him.

"Your Majesty." The royal family bowed their heads, followed by Victor and the girls.

"At ease, please relax," King Alaric said with a polite and harmless smile, which seemed to make Victor and his group relax quite a bit.

Alaric then turned his head towards Victor, Amber, Rina, and Valerie, and his eyes lit up as he said with a smile, "You must be our important guests. Nice to meet you."

Alaric said as he extended his hand and shook hands with Victor as he replied, "The pleasure is all mine, Your Highness."

"Haha, please relax. I never imagined I would be lucky enough to meet a living Night Slayer. If my ancestors knew, they would be rolling in their graves with jealousy," Alaric said with a smile and then looked at Amber and said, "And you must be a Primordial, yes... I can sense your bloodline quality is higher than mine."

"You jest, Your Majesty," Amber said with a stiff smile and curtsied.

"No need to be so polite. I never expected that one day I would get to see a Night Slayer, Primordial Demon, and even humans on Planet Sinthra," Alaric said as his eyes swept across Rina and Valerie, who also curtsied.

"Anyway, please," Alaric said as he gestured for them to sit and begin eating. He looked at the maids and commanded, "Serve our guests."

The maids nodded. Even though they were shocked by what they heard, they hurriedly started serving the food while shooting especially Victor and Amber looks of reverence, and Victor especially caught a few lustful stares in his direction from the maids. He ignored them completely.

Valerie looked at everyone who had started eating. Unable to suppress her desire, she took a fork and knife and cut what seemed like a steak and elegantly put it in her mouth. Her eyes widened as there was an explosion of flavors, and she almost moaned.

But then her body went stiff, and her eyes widened.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

"What!!" Valerie exclaimed in disbelief and thought, ’Did I just level up by eating this?’

"What happened?" Victor noticed her expression and asked with a frown. The others also looked at her questioningly.

Maria was a bit worried and asked, "Did you not like the food? I can ask them to change the dishes."

Valerie snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly said, "No, no, the food is great... it’s just that I leveled up by just eating the food."

"Oh, you are talking about this..." Seraphina suddenly explained and then added, "I only heard that the food of this place is all rare and helps beings to level up below Tier 0. The beings on this planet are all high-level, so we could not verify it, but it looks like it’s true."

"I see," Valerie nodded.

"We have more than enough food. Eat as much as you like until you cannot level up anymore," Alaric said with a smile, and Valerie nodded as she resumed eating.

"If you don’t mind, Victor... can I experience your sealing power?" Alaric said with an impatient tone, looking at Victor expectantly, while his wife and children rolled their eyes.

"Even I am, but I am interested," Prince Jack said as he leaned forward.

"Sure, do you want me to use my power here?" Victor did not deny their request, as they seemed genuinely curious, and asked.

"Yes, it’s fine," Alaric hurriedly said.

Victor nodded and activated his domain skill, and immediately, the demons in the room felt a stiff sensation in their bodies.

"Heavens, I can feel my movement has slowed down a bit," Alaric said with wide eyes and looked at Victor in shock. Honestly, he did not think Victor’s sealing powers could affect him. Even though the effect was minor and he could easily shrug it off, he was still surprised that a Peak Tier 5 like him could be affected by someone as low-tier as Victor.

"Damn, one of my fingers has turned into stone... You can retract your power, Victor," Seraphina cursed as she saw her finger get covered by a layer of thin stone.

"I apologize," Victor said, looking at the princess, and retracted his aura.

"If you were a bit stronger, I am afraid I would have turned to stone," Jack replied, looking at Victor.

"Victor, I wanted to ask you, how on the heavens did you all come to Sinthra? Even if your planet has intergalactic travel, it should not be possible, as this planet is in a very secluded corner. No one has visited in eons, nor did we leave, as we do not have such capabilities. It was all lost in the past," Alaric asked in a serious voice.

"Well, actually, a devil had invaded our world from this planet, and I came here tracking it," Victor explained.

"It should not be possible." Alaric and Maria looked at each other and frowned upon hearing Victor’s words, falling into deep thought, as they could tell Victor was telling the truth. They could easily tell if a person was telling the truth or lying.

"What, a devil invaded Earth?" Valerie exclaimed upon hearing this, and a wave of panic hit her. If a devil could enter Earth, why couldn’t a second one invade Earth?

Amber seemed to feel her worry and explained, "Not Earth, it was the game world. We got a mission that led us here coincidentally."

"Oh, that’s good." Valerie patted her chest in relief and wiped the sweat forming on her forehead.

"Can you give me the name of the devil? Do you remember the name?" Alaric asked.

"Of course. His name was Vicious," Victor replied.

"Vicious." Alaric frowned, as he had never heard of such a figure among the royal devil family, and thought, ’Maybe an official in the kingdom or a tribe leader.’

There was no helping thinking about something beyond his control, so Alaric shifted the topic. "Amber, I can call you that, right?"

"Ah, yes." Amber, who heard her being called out, hurriedly nodded.

"I can feel you have no Darkness-attributed weapon. I can help you with that," Alaric said with a sly smile.

"Weapon?" Big question marks appeared above Amber’s head.
