Empire pt3

Dragon soldiers were divided into different classes from C to A, S class dragon soldiers were built different and didn't belong to the general categorisation. For someone to be considered S class, they either need to be able to use unique magic or use Dragonification.

Dragonification was a skill that allowed Dragon soldiers to cover their entire body with scales making any type of armour unnecessary, this skill also increased their physical strength and magic powers.

The reason why Lancelot was so strong even when he is 37 years old is because he was different from the other Soldiers, he could use unique magic and Dragonification this event was something never witnessed during the past 200 years, during his prime he could kill an adult dragon without the need of a weapon.

In the main office inside the castle Lancelot was having a meeting with Percival regarding the latest attacks.

"Percival what's happening in the frontier with the demon territory?"

Unlike the other Knights of the round table Percival got his rank thanks to his brain, he was the advisor of the Emperor and the strategist, he had the strength of an A rank soldier, but his unique ability was something special even when compared with the other Knights, his ability was called Though Acceleration.

[Thought Acceleration]

Is a mental skill that allows the user to process and analyse information at a much faster rate than normal. The skill allows the user to quickly assess situations, solve problems, perform magic calculations much faster and make decisions with incredible speed and accuracy, if the user has access to a significant amount of data on their enemies' past behaviours and patterns, they can use Thought Acceleration to quickly analyse this data and identify attack patterns.

Percival was a wild card in the Knights of the round table since after enough time fighting him it would be impossible to defeat him because he would be able to predict what skill the enemy would use and create a perfect counter for that immediately.

Thought Acceleration in conjunction with the fact that he mastered all types of weapons meant that the only way to defeat him would be by using a wide range attack strong enough to kill everyone that was nearby in seconds and only Ancient dragons and some S class demons could do something like that.

"According with the reports that we received, I believe that somewhere within the demon kingdom there must exist a demon with the skill that allows him to control lower rank demons."

After hearing Percival theory, the emperor face became pale…

"Your majesty over the past 10 years we started to notice that the attack patterns across the Empire became more focused, the demons would only attack small villages and eat everyone in the beginning, but now that we made a peace treaty with the Dragons it seems like they are chasing after something deep inside the capital".

Over the past year the demons started to increasingly be focussing all the attacks in the weakest part of the wall and the number or demon in the hordes became significantly larger.

The hordes even became more organised now having some resemblance with early Dragon soldier's platoons.

The emperor looked at his advisors face and asked with a worried face.

"This means that their leader must be above A Class and he his learning from us?"

Percival replied:

"You are right your Majesty, we are witnessing the birth of a Demon Lord."
