Chapter 138: The Interview
“......”
Just moments ago, Lord Maier Embergreen had been getting scolded by the Shadow Witch—but what happened next was something he simply couldn’t comprehend.
“...What the hell did I just see?”
To be more precise, it all started the instant the Four Archdemon Sisters—beings so fearsome that even making eye contact was overwhelming—charged at Whitney.
‘...What is that guy?’
Whitney, whom Maier had expected to freeze in fear, suddenly began radiating an aura so inhuman it sent chills down the spine.
The sisters—staring into that aura—turned deathly pale and immediately dropped to their knees before Whitney.
Then, black mages and summoned beasts came spilling out of the cave in a panic, and they too prostrated themselves behind the sisters.
“U-Um, Shadow Witch...”
“......”
“W-What exactly just happened...?”
Still unable to make sense of the unfolding chaos, Maier cautiously addressed the Shadow Witch, who had gone unusually silent.
