Chapter 454: The Last Chat
After using the gem-link to stop Xalathas from summoning more hordes of demons into the world, the three devils in front of us seemed unbothered by my actions.
I thought that they would at least look a bit surprised or angry, but it was clear that the devils were expecting me to use the gem all this time.
"Excellent, Ichiro. Putting your life on the line is what this is all about..." Drakzen commented.
When I threw the gem at the portal, I could feel as if there was an invisible cord around my chest that was linked to the stone.
Drakzen quickly explained that my life had been used as the catalyst for the gem, so if I died, they could reverse the stone’s effects, which would allow them to bring even more demons to our world.
"I’m not planning on dying..." I muttered, glaring at Drakzen.
"I just want to end this so I can relax with my wife," I continued, getting ready to rush in for an attack.
However, before I could take a step forward, Xalathas calmly stood up and walked behind the throne, keeping my team in suspense for a few seconds.
"There is no reason to be here..." The demon king muttered, stepping onto a small circular platform that made his body shine for a second before disappearing.
"A teleportation device?" I wondered aloud, noticing that the magic looked quite similar to my own teleportation spell.
Without saying a word, Agares grinned and followed the demon king onto the platform, leaving Drakzen alone with me and my team.
