Tiber stiffened. "What do you mean? You have forbidden ways?"
Atrox smiled. "Yes. This war demands I use everything I have. Do you forget, Tiber? I had a title way before I claimed to be the Lord of the Soryu."
Tiber paused, his eyes flickered as he began to calculate and think of where he had seen Atrox with another title. Where it all began, that made him think far to where it had started.
Far when he and Slya were still slaves back in the labor camp. It seemed like a long time ago. A lifetime away. He remembered what it was. How they were betrayed in a ruin and how Atrox claimed his power as a Knight.
He remembered the gate that was summoned and the demon that came out. He remembered that Atrox was given a title. An inheritance of sorts.
His eyes turned towards him. "You are going to use that? My Lord, if you summon something like that into this world, something that powerful..."
