Chapter 271: Those Who Commit Treason
“……I see.”
Baal smiled wryly.
A host was necessary for summoned beings. Summons can’t move if their host doesn’t provide them with mana. That’s why it’s a smart idea to deal with the host first when fighting summoned beings.
Amon had said that there were 500 death knights in the ballroom. Out of all summoned creatures, death knights are the most powerful. That was why Baal taunted Barbatos at the beginning and lured her in. He also didn’t forget to destroy her heart, the source of her magic…….
“She deliberately acted as if she were defeated.”
Considering the circumstances, it was understandable if Barbatos were to become enraged. Barbatos was the one who felt the most regret and vexation about the 2nd Crescent Alliance. Regardless, did she simply pretend to be angry……?
Baal started to piece things together. The reason why Zepar didn’t attack Baal and prioritized rescuing Barbatos at any cost wasn’t due to the fact that he was cool-headed, but because it was necessary for their plan. Zepar covered Barbatos with his mantle after he rescued her.
This was for the sake of not showing that Barbatos had recovered.
Baal spoke as blood flowed down the side of his mouth.
