Chapter 78: Loyalty
"Call someone over to heal him, Velrissa," I called up casually as I turned away from Sirzechs' limp body. Velrissa nodded quickly, flying down from within the crowd of thousands of succubi who had been buffing Katerea overhead.
I could've used [Light Heal] myself, but part of being a King was pushing your work onto your subordinates, right?
"I got him, Your Highness!" Katerea shouted from above, and the woman, along with the form of Shalba Beelzebub, came floating down into the crater that was once an arena.
Slumped over her shoulder was the unconscious, and possibly dead, form of Zekram Bael. Even if the man was ancient and a masterful fighter with his Power of Destruction, he couldn't hold up against a giga-buffed Katerea and Shalba. He couldn't escape either with Tiamat's powered-up watchful eye overhead.
"Good work," I nodded simply as the duo landed next to me, and Katerea unceremoniously tossed the body of Zekram on the floor in front of me.
I resisted chuckling as she blushed at my words, practically preening as she glanced away shyly. All I said was 'good work!'
I glanced down at Zekram's body, which was bloodied and bruised, as he was definitely at least unconscious. Whether he was alive or not didn't matter, as I just needed the body to use [Devour] and reap the benefits.
I didn't know how many skills the ancient devil had acquired over his numerous years of life, but I just wanted his Power of Destruction. Whatever other skills I got from him were just icing on the cake.
Sirzechs had shown me firsthand just how powerful that ability was, and while it would take me a lot of grinding to get that skill anywhere near Sirzechs' level, I was eager to have it for myself.
So, I didn't waste any time as I crouched down. I grabbed Zekram's arm, raising it to my mouth, and used [Devour].
[Devour] has been used on [Zekram Bael] - Level 725
