Chapter 67: The Greatest Alliance
The Demon King fixed his fiery gaze on me, his voice grave and filled with authority. "The one I fear is Baron. He used to serve me, but now he's turned against me. He's gained power that rivals mine."
His words made me pause. "What kind of power does he have?" I asked, intrigued but wary.
The Demon King's expression darkened, the weight of his words carrying a deep tension. "He possesses the combined power of you and Heaven's Wing from your previous life. The full extent of your abilities—your strength, your mastery—he now wields them as his own."
I was taken aback by his words, the shock reverberating through me. "What?"
"Yes," the Demon King confirmed, his tone firm. "This power makes him more than a match for me. That's why I need both you and Heaven's Wing to stop him."
A moment of silence hung in the air as I processed what he said. Heaven's Wing—my eternal rival, the one who stood beside me and against me at the same time. The power we once held together, now in the hands of our enemy.
I looked at the Demon King, considering the gravity of the situation. "So you want us to join forces, to defeat Baron and take back control of this realm?"
He nodded, his fiery gaze unwavering. "Yes. Together, you and Heaven's Wing are the only ones who can match his strength."
I thought for a moment, weighing the risks and the opportunity. "Alright," I said, finally breaking the silence. "I'll go find Heaven's Wing. If we're going to fight him, we'll need to test our strengths. It's not just your realm at stake, it's ours as well. We were chosen by the gods, and this is our trial."
