boom!
Holding Sakara's giant axe, Karan kicked open the door of Sakara's former residence.
"Who dares to cause trouble here?!"
Hearing the somewhat familiar, rough voice coming from inside, Karan's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"It's me."
"What? Don't you recognize me?"
Facing the angry gazes from within the dark hall, she walked in slowly with her head held high.
"...Kalan! What are you doing here? This is not a place for you."
Winter winter winter...
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a tall minotaur demon emerged from the darkness, glaring fiercely at the intruder.
"This is against the rules! You are not qualified to enter this place. This belongs to Sakala..."
"I have."
Cutting the other person off directly, Karan raised his chin slightly and spoke arrogantly:
“After killing Sakarala, I obtained everything he originally possessed. This is a rule set by the Queen, a rule that everyone must abide by.”
Upon hearing this, the minotaur demon visibly lost control of his expression and took an unnatural step back.
"If you are Sakala, then who was the one I killed?"
Caran raised the giant axe beside him, brandishing it in front of the minotaur demon, and sneered:
"So, are you going to keep pretending?"
"Now, tell me... who exactly are you?"
Karan already knew the answer without needing a reply from the other party.
The other party was an adjutant left behind by Sakala, a demon with a particular penchant for scheming, to serve as a substitute.
Anyway, minotaurs and demons all look pretty much the same, so it's hard for outsiders to tell them apart. As long as you don't get close, you can indeed stay undetected for a while.
You only have two choices.
"Either submit to me and become my subordinate from today onwards."
"Either you die."
This is how demons survive.
If a subordinate feels powerful enough, they can betray their superior at any time and launch an attack.
Those in positions of absolute power possess everything that those in lower positions possess, including their lives.
winter.
Without uttering a word, the minotaur lieutenant did not make any unrealistic resistance, but instead knelt on one knee before his new master.
He chose to submit.
“Very well, since you have chosen to submit, then you shall inherit everything from Sakarala.”
Perhaps driven by a wicked sense of humor, Karan gave his brother's name to his stand-in.
"From this moment forward, you are Saqqara II."
"yes!"
Kalan tossed the giant axe to his feet and watched indifferently as Saqqara II crawled over to pick it up with a look of delight.
Looking down, Karan vaguely heard a strange sound from the shadows beneath his feet.
It sounded like the protest of a hungry monster's empty abdomen when it saw food.
Guh—
Now, Kalan knows what fate awaits this minotaur demon who is about to submit to him.
"Food..."
How pitiful.
Thinking about the other party's future misery, a cruel glint flashed in Karan's eyes.
"But isn't this a good thing?"
This is the consequence of betrayal.
This is the end you deserve.
...
...
Ning Feng looked away, his expression somewhat strange.
【What's wrong? Didn't you do a good job, little chess piece? Is there anything you're not satisfied with?】
Showing off muscles is ostensibly a way to gather subordinates, but in reality, it's about selecting prey for the Death Hunters.
Ariana really liked Karan's plan and methods!
"No, I don't have any thoughts on that, and I actually approve of what she's doing now."
"From the moment the Death Hunter became her ally, the strategy of hiding her strength was no longer suitable for her; she had to let others know how powerful she was."
When dealing with demons, pure power and evil are easier for them to understand than schemes and cunning.
If Kalan continues to endure, Ning Feng will see his true colors as a pawn and may even send down a divine decree to "guide" the course of events.
Fortunately, the other party did not disappoint me.
Why do you have that expression? It looks like you're worried about something.
"I just...feel something's off?"
Ning Feng stopped in his tracks, his unease growing stronger.
"No, it feels very out of place!"
"In Kalan's memory, if the Fire Demon Queen's child completes the trial perfectly, she will definitely appear in person to bestow generous rewards."
"But it's been several days now, and the Flame Demon Queen still hasn't appeared..."
This is what disappointed and unsettled Karan the most, and it's also why he waited until now to try and win over Sakarala's former subordinates.
The Flame Demon Queen had never been absent from such occasions before, but this time something was different.
What exactly is the reason?
"Could it be because of the name bestowed upon me before?"
When giving the Death Hunter a name, Ariana deliberately didn't hide it, but Ning Feng sensed the unusual movements of the demon lords.
[After all, this is a major change that alters the very foundation of the Abyss. Those little guys must have been scared, right? Hehe~]
Only Ariana's wicked sense of humor would allow her to refer to the demon lords as "little ones."
"Then, that should be it."
Although I still felt something was off, this was the most plausible explanation at the moment.
