Chapter 1211: Lawful Neutral
What sort of conviction did it take to behead yourself? Sylas had simply never seen such a brutal suicide. Though his expression was indifferent and his heartbeat was steady, he still felt that maybe he had been too quick to speak before.
These Demons were truly something else entirely.
It seemed like a simple thing. It wasn’t impossible to believe that there could be a culture in the universe that was similar in this way—that had nothing to do with Demons at all.
But it wasn’t just the action of killing himself that Sylas was holding onto...
There was no reluctance.
That was the main dividing factor.
Even if there was another culture out there like this, they would have done it for the sake of protecting their family, or maybe in hopes of avoiding torture that would break them beyond their limits.
This pig Demon, however... had killed himself like it was a normal day at the office, like it was no different from turning in something to the copy room or shredding classified documents.
If Sylas thought back even further, the fear that the fishermen had felt for him wasn’t really fear for their lives. They had just seen someone stronger and were bowing to prove that they understood the hierarchy between them.
These Demons...
Their sense of self-preservation was near zero. They had no bottom line, even for themselves.
