Chapter 73: Demon as a Leader
The inner sanctum of the Treyl family estate was a labyrinthine stronghold, its corridors echoing with the footsteps of its elite inhabitants.
This section housed the family executives, distant relatives, and the army’s quarters, a fortified hub divided into three distinct divisions.
The Law Division enforced order and justice within the family’s domain.
The Defense Division stood as sentinels, guarding the estate, its sprawling territory, the most important family members, and the Intelligence Agency operated in the shadows, gathering secrets and weaving webs of intrigue.
Lastly, the War Division.
They were trained for situations like this, their blades were honed for battle.
As Baines and his Dawnless forces breached the inner parts, they found themselves encircled by the War Division, their ranks bristling with steel and determination.
Baines sheathed his Bladeless Sword with a silent reverence, its purpose was unsuited for the carnage to come.
His right arm trembled, and from its depths emerged the Demon Blade Roesha, its long, crimson blade glowing with a malevolent light. The air around it hummed with blood energy, a harbinger of the destruction to follow.
"SURRENDER NOW, YOU BASTARDS!" roared the 6th-star vice division leader of the War Division, his voice booming beside the stoic figure of the division leader.
Without a word, Baines tore through space, appearing before the enemy ranks in a blur of motion. The soldiers, briefly stunned, raised their blades to block, but Baines was relentless.
