Chapter 143: Let’s See What The Queen Can Do
Leo’s lips curled into a chuckle as he took a step toward the red-skinned demoness, his gaze locking onto her with an amused smirk. But before he could close the distance, the dungeon suddenly trembled violently beneath his feet.
The ground quaked, and a deafening crash reverberated through the stone walls, shaking dust loose from the ceiling. Veladra’s eyes widened in shock. Her body tensed as she scanned the surroundings.
