Chapter 696: Undead [1]
In exactly three days, as the first rays of sunlight spread across the capital, Nox—still in Kira’s body—rose from his bed and walked toward the window.
He glanced outside, and the first sight that greeted him was that of at least 300,000 demons all standing before a single entity in a black dress, with raven hair and cold, empty eyes.
Nox inhaled a sharp breath as he swept his gaze across the thousands of demons. Not even the alliance of the Cromwells and Vermilions could face an enemy of this magnitude.
’Even with the dragons, we might just buy ourselves time before eventually being obliterated,’ he frowned.
Of course, if he had successfully defeated the Scourge Alpha with the help of the entire dragon army, he was confident they could’ve torn through the demonkind army like paper.
But now... now he was seriously pondering what his master, Eve, was planning.
Could it be that the letter she left behind was just to mislead him? And that she was still a pawn of the Demon Emperor?
He was seriously conflicted. Nox clenched his fist. One thing he was certain of was that he wouldn’t allow this army to reach the west.
’Everything we’ve built would come crumbling down.’ His eyes flashed with determination, and without wasting time, he hurriedly left his room to go join them.
On a distant roof, Number Two watched the demon army below with a sharp gaze. He couldn’t help but feel something was wrong but couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.
’Let’s see... maybe I’m overthinking!’ he shook his head and went back inside.
Meanwhile, Nox arrived before Eve. She wasn’t standing alone—beside her was someone Nox was all too familiar with.
