Chapter 716
The Wyvern's gaze doesn't move off of us, and continues to become more skeptical as I try to explain why I'm here.
"I assure you, I am not aligned with the Demons. This agreement you've made with them is not knowledge that I have..."
The massive, blue-scaled monster stares with an unchanged gaze, but I feel the Ether aura around it begin to grow hotter; as it already said, it didn't believe me and wants concrete proof.
The ground beneath its taloned feet starts to vibrate, and I think through all the possible ways I could convince this random creature I'm not aligned with the Demons. However, its logic is quite sound...
From all the knowledge I've already gained from the Goblin King, humans cannot grow much further than goblins; even the King would have trouble facing one of the scaled lizards I was facing with ease moments ago.
The dense Demon's Core in my chest doesn't help my position at all, but I reply with the truth.
"That noble Demon you speak of... The Vermilion Family's next Lord... right? I killed him to protect my world. I fell down to the Exile Zones by accident. It is merely a coincidence we've met. I trespassed to try and make it up to the Citadel."
The Wyvern's gaze finally changes, but it is not in the way I would have hoped... Its growing Ether aura increases in intensity, and it yells back.
"A human... killing a Noble Demon... Do you take me as a fool?!"
