Chapter 2417: Morningstar
Mirena and the remaining Blutlinie of the Aztorus Kingdom hesitated, uncertain how to react.
What the Royal Guard had just done could easily be considered a direct act of hostility against their kingdom—and a blatant violation of the fragile alliance with the Ocean of the Blood Sun.

The white man, for his part, seemed utterly unconcerned. For him, those Blutlinie were insignificant, and whether they acted or not, he was confident he could still change the tide and protect the blood ocean.

Satan and Hades reacted instantly.
Their eyes sharpened, and their energy surged explosively as they attacked Gilgark in perfect coordination. Their claws descended from above and below, crossing paths in a deadly pincer strike.
The moment their attacks landed, the chains binding Gilgark shattered.

The damage to his chest was severe.
