Allegiance is a 2.0/2.1 solo Extreme Demon created and published by nikrodox and initially verified by Rewayde (formerly Rlol). It was later reverified by EndLevel. The level is the second instalment of The Dedication Tetralogy, the sequel to Dedication and the prequel of Renevant. The level features straight-flying, tight-wave parts and fast transitions. Some decorations obscure the player's view of the level (mostly seen in the segments following the drop in the song), especially in the unnerfed version. EndLevel became the first person to legitimately complete the level after over 18,000 attempts.

Gameplay

The level starts with a cube section with 'NP' for 'NikroPlays' written in the background, a Low Detail Mode key and some players to dedicate. The player is then taken up a slope and launched right into the level. This part is filled with rainbow decorations with multiple crosses pulsing in the background and 'Nikro' written at the beginning. A pad with a double-speed portal will take the player to a hard cube section where it is required to perfectly time the orbs to get through. The player then enters a short robot segment before entering a mini-cube section. The first coin can be collected by hitting the last blue orb a little late. This orb will send the player upwards to the next section.

Next comes a ship segment with numerous black lines appearing in front of the player and blocking their view. There are also some teleportation portals with gravity switching when exiting the teleportation portals to throw the player off. At the end of this ship segment, the player enters an auto-ball section as a transition into the next chunk of gameplay. A dark ball section is next, containing a lot of timing and an active, colour-changing background. When this ball ends, the player is taken into an insanely narrow wave at half-speed with lots of gravity portals and gears to avoid. The second coin can be collected here by taking a slightly harder route with a mini-portal to mess with the player. A text saying 'READY?' appears, and the player enters a UFO portal right before the drop kicks in.

The drop segment starts with a dark triple-speed UFO with a cluster of gravity and mini-portals, making it very hard to follow what is going on. The player later transforms into a ship with more orbs and straight-flying than portals and then back into a UFO again right before a hard mini-robot is used as a transition. The second half of the drop starts as a fast, tight wave with some size and gravity portals to make it extremely difficult to pass. Then, the player enters a robot segment with streams of orbs where they are required to hit a certain orb to get through, similar to the first gameplay section of the level. Then, a section with three fast game-mode changes appears before a short cube segment and a straight-fly into the next part.

A half-speed cube segment comes next with many orbs and effects in the background reminiscent of a ray and many stars. Then, the player enters a cube/ship dual for a moment and back into a cube. Next, the player goes into a swing-copter section with numerous moving objects and effects as the screen goes black for a second, and the player enters a mini-ship segment with some hard straight-flying and orb timings. The last section of the level is a very tight 'corridor' starting with a tight wave segment, then a straight-fly ship segment and finally a cube housing the last coin to be obtained via an invisible yellow orb. The level ends with one last triple spike and text saying 'GG' right over it before reaching the end with the creator's names appearing along with 'Verified by EndLevel'.

User coins

• The first coin is located at 15% in the first cube section. The player must simply hit the blue orb to obtain it.
