Chapter 467: [465] Captive
That morning, as usual, August was passing the time idly when he suddenly sensed unfamiliar presences.
A faint smirk tugged at his lips. Finally, the Black Death Faction had arrived. August had been growing impatient waiting for them.
Today, at this hour, Natsuki was teaching a class, leaving August alone. Astalotte had been taken along with her, and others like Sayaka were out—apparently dealing with some business for the Lion King Organisation.
August had never restricted the freedom of the four girls from the Lion King Organisation—Himeragi, Sayaka, Yuiri, and Shio.
He knew full well that even though they'd been assigned to him, their ties to the organisation remained intact. But August didn't care. No matter how much ants schemed, they couldn't topple a dragon.
His unshakable confidence stemmed from one thing: absolute trust in his own power.
Beyond that, August was also waiting—waiting for the transformation he'd long anticipated.
The World Tree sapling, which he'd brought into this world, had been released into the deep ocean beneath Itogami Island. It was slowly devouring the world's essence.
This world was far stronger than the one in Akame ga Kill, so consuming it entirely was near impossible.
But siphoning off a portion of its essence? That was doable.
This world wasn't a singular plane, either. Beyond it lay other realms—even the alien spaces where familiars resided.
