Chapter 339. Youre Still You (2)
"I am Duke Laktum, a servant of the Malevolent Emperor. Demon King of Liberation, the great one has ordered me to show you proper courtesy, and thus I have come before you," the demon said, his yellow eyes gleaming as he stared at Caron.
Laktum wore a violet suit, his every movement exuding the aura of a high-ranking noble among demons. The entire Oceanwolf Knight Order, along with every soldier present, tightened their grips on their weapons.
He was a high demon. And not just any—he was of ducal rank. Far too dangerous to be dismissed as a mere messenger.
Laktum's gaze lingered on Caron, then slowly shifted to Halo.
"I have no intention of fighting," Laktum said evenly. "The Malevolent Emperor holds you in respect, Demon King of Liberation."
Caron let out a sharp laugh and replied, "And what should I do with that? I don't have a single word worth exchanging with demon scum."
The Malevolent Emperor was the one Caron had sworn to take vengeance upon in this life. The one who had toyed with his previous existence, who had a hand in this damned reincarnation. No matter what else happened, Caron intended to tear that wretch to pieces.
With no hesitation, he rose to his feet, killing intent bursting forth like a blade unsheathed.
Whoosh!
Guillotine resonated, trembling violently as it reacted to Laktum's dark mana. Pure Azure Mana erupted from the blade, filling the chamber in a suffocating wave.
The commanders froze, holding their breath.
This... This is no mere human malice...
