Chapter 86.1, Epilogue: The talent of a monster
The base of Rainel’s army was burning. The order that had been established under the absolute rule of the law of the jungle crumbled in a single night.
To start with, the army was founded with the strongest man, the Demon King, as its pillar. Now matter how big the army itself was, once that pillar was pulled out, the troops couldn’t keep themselves together.
The news of the death of Demon King Rainel spread in a second. What assaulted the Demon King’s army after that, was chaos.
Chaos spread from the low-ranking combatants with barely any intelligence.
Rainel, who boasted of his absolute strength, had died and Man-Eater Hebram, who was both hated and feared, had disappeared.
Some of the soldiers run away in fear, some comprehended the significance of their king’s death and started plotting how to replace him and some turned to looting. The camp, that had been set up to some extent, burnt down and the stench of death whirled in the darkness.
Uniting various species required a symbol with an undebatable strength.
The army that had been functioning as a single entity until yesterday, had split into race-based factions and the treasury was already being invaded by the ‘thieves’ that were formerly the members of the army.
Oliver Arbor, the executive of the Demon King’s army and the werewolf who was once assigned an important position because of his abilities and strength, quietly peeked out from the room in his human form.
