R-By shook his head and laughed if just a bit. 

The fool thought that they didn't already have knowledge like such. Or a dragon. Or a quarter demon person. 

[color=red][b]"You claim that you want to join us, yet you threaten us. It seems that you obviously do not know how to handle things in a more civil and political way, not to mention that your,"[/b][/color] R-By turned to the Tyranid threatening to, what, eat him? [color=red][b]"threats ring hollow in our ears. You should reconsider your position and you may still remain alive."[/b][/color] 

He advised his fellow mage. The Ethereal was right, though. He might kill them, but then he'd have the Conquerors and Imperium to deal with. 

The Ethereal then went ahead and changed the dead town they were in. Probably adjusting the battlefield for an upcoming battle. 

R-By was confident that a fight with him would leave the two of them in rather equal terms, assessing from his magical prowess. With the leaders of his divisions with him, he was confident he could win. However, with a human one never knew. It was not strange to see a human surpassing their limits by some or other idiocy. 

Afterwards, the alien asked R-By for his input on the matter at hand. 

[color=red][b][i]"He is a powerful magician, I'll give him that. The spirits he carries with him aren't half bad either. However, with you and me here it should pose no problem. If you wish, I can also summon the leaders of The Will."[/i][/b][/center] He answered via telepathy. 

It certainly took him back, using telepathy, but it was no time for nostalgia. 

With this much light now, it was also good for R-By that the terrain had changed. 

The magician, however, decided to change his tone and rather made most of his summons disappear, leaving just a few. R-By assumed that those were the ones he trusted the most, or the ones more tightly tied to the magic of Nathaniel. 

Afterwards, he started explaining that if he couldn't offer to add to the strength of the Dark Outliners, then he could very well offer a network of spies for them to use. 

A network of spies made out of imps that could make themselves invisible, huh? 

[color=red][b]"I am part demon,"[/b][/color] R-By started, intruding upon the conversation. [color=red][b]"I suppose that means that I can see them without problems and enter this so called Other Place of yours? It seems our magicks and worlds are indeed rather different. Your concept of what a demon is differs greatly from what I used."[/b][/color]

[color=red][b]"Then, I believe that only magicians of great potential would be able to detect them, then, if only by the faint energy they have. I doubt they would easily be made snacks if the djinns did not have some kind of way of detecting them."[/b][/color] 

All of this was just theories and hypothesis R-By was formulating inside his head. Magic was his field of study, and the imps being mostly useless in the prescense of one such as him would be meaningless, in the end. Upon entering the Multiverse, he got to know that there was more than one that actually qualified as such.

Regardless of his question, the Magician went on and made an Oath. Again, it was nothing like his own magic, this oath.

[color=red][b]"I would love to have a look at these artifacts if you would give me the chance. Magic from other universes would benefit greatly my own ambitions... I can also help you stop being human, if you'd like to be rid of that constraining body you've got on yourself."[/b][/color] 

Despite despising humans, R-By was reasonable. If this human magician wanted to be part of the Dark Outliners then he wouldn't actively pick a fight with him, as long as he kept on his side of the line.
