Chapter 393: The Essence of Kaye Aesir
“This is where he left the item when we made our pact,” Hagane said as he opened the doors to a vault deep within the Demon Realm.
Surrounding them were SS-grade monsters—beasts like the Cerberus and the Hydra. Creatures never before seen in the human world loomed above Karyl and his companions, eyeing them as though sizing up their next meal.
Irritated, Karyl swung Lakna, sending an Aura Blade crashing into a nearby cliff, producing a loud, resonant boom. Startled, the monsters fled at once.
“Seems that your pets need some discipline. They’re eyeing us with the Demon King right here.”
“I shall see to it,” Hagane replied indifferently.
Despite his complaint, Karyl recognized these creatures as another sign of the demons’ power. If he could command these monsters, they would be an invaluable force in the impending war against the Tarak.
“You’re truly fit to be a king. Even now, you’re thinking of how to use us as tools.”
“These creatures would just tear each other apart if left alone. Better to have them die for a cause than to simply let them be hunted down.”
“Heh... Much appreciated.” Hagane shrugged and gave a chuckle. “Now then.”
He slowly pushed open the massive vault doors. Where his hand touched the surface, a demonic magic circle appeared, its glow spreading across the doors.
“Only one may enter. The rest shall wait here. I, too, will remain outside, so there should be no objections.”
