Chapter 69: The Empty Lot
Seoryun automatically poured himself a glass of cold water, hoping to jolt his exhausted mind awake.
The icy water slid down his throat into his stomach, the cIlliya so intense that he shivered.
A bit more awake, Seoryun finally replied, "Yes. The demons have indeed shown up here. And that’s not all—"
"So that’s how the Yaguk Theocracy got the news and why they sent out the Royal Knight—this finally makes sense."
Illiya suddenly realized.
Indeed, the demons had appeared around the borders of the continent.
His guess from the night before had turned out to be true. Then... the prediction that a new Demon King had emerged among the demon race might also be true?
A sense of grounded certainty suddenly settled over Illiya, as if the dust had finally settled.
"But I’m still really curious—how did you find out?" he asked.
Seoryun chuckled at the memory of what happened with Darius the night before. After laughing, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression turned a little odd.
He carefully chose his words, trying not to make his explanation sound too confusing.
