What?
Karan did not immediately understand what the other person meant.
"I……"
Do you want to become king?
What king?
Karan's confused thoughts caused him to remain silent when he should have responded immediately.
She was pondering how she should answer...
The figure known as the Sage did not urge it, but continued to look down at the Death Hunter and silently reached out its hand.
The Death Hunter excitedly raised his head, his youthful, delicate face flushed with an unusual blush, eager to rub his head against the wall to express his joy.
However, when the Death Hunter, who was still in a frenzy, saw the eyes of that person, he froze on the spot.
It even started to tremble...
Those were such cold eyes.
On Mohu's face, the only thing that could be clearly seen was a pair of pitch-black eyes that were completely indistinguishable in color.
Beneath that seemingly calm and tranquil abyss lies a terrifying depth of emotion...
anger?
Its only master, the one who gave it true life, is angry!?
Who made my master angry?
Who is it?!
roar!
The Death Hunter wanted to roar; it wanted to howl in homage to its master!
With just one command, it will tear everything apart in response to its master's wrath.
Even if the price is one's own life.
However, before the Death Hunter could even roar, all its movements stopped at a single action of hers.
She didn't even move her body; the slight shift of her dark eyes made the Death Hunter feel as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss.
die.
Endless death!
Since its birth, it has been bringing death to others, but this time it truly felt the breath of death!
Death is both terrifying and fascinating!
The master doesn't want to hear screams right now.
She felt that it was really too noisy.
Even with the Death Hunter's current level of intelligence, it understands what to do at this moment.
"Waaah..."
It let out a whimpering sound, trembling as it lowered its head before its master, letting her slender, white fingers run through its dark hair.
The great master who filled the Death Hunter with fear and unease did not speak after gently stroking its hair, but it could sense that her mood seemed to have improved somewhat.
So it became even more obedient, and really lowered its head docilely like a pet.
Although the scene looked somewhat heartwarming, the third person present did not feel the same way.
To Karan, who understood the true nature of the Death Hunters best, this scene was particularly terrifying.
That brutal, morbid, mutated demon that only knew how to devour life could actually be as docile as a pet...
Looking at this scene, Karan even felt a little nauseous.
It wasn't out of disgust, but because I genuinely felt physically uncomfortable and wanted to vomit due to the jarring scene.
However, no matter how much she resists this reality, she knows she can no longer remain silent.
You must give a response, otherwise...
“My sage, I… want to become king.”
Faced with the mysterious being, she revealed the secret hidden deep in her heart.
Karan's answer has never changed!
"I want to replace my mother, the current Flame Demon Queen. I want to become the new queen!"
This is her ambition, no matter how long it takes...
"Oh, then let's kill her."
ah?
The sage spoke casually, without a trace of hesitation in her tone; she didn't even ask who the Flame Demon Queen was.
Karan didn't understand; she was still trying to figure out what had happened...
She said, "What?"
His words were so casual, as if he were casually crushing a chick.
Okay, let's do it today.
What?
What on earth is she saying?!
Killed the Flame Demon Queen? And today alone?
Looking at Kalan, who was frozen in place, the sage seemed somewhat surprised and asked in confusion:
【Hmm? Is there a problem?】
question?
Of course there are!
That's the Flame Demon Queen!
One of the sixteen demon lords who remain in the open in the Abyss, he is even comparable to a saint in his own territory!
Is it something you can just kill whenever you want?
"I...I can't do it alone."
Kalan did not say that it was impossible, for that would be a sign of distrust and an insult to the sage.
But she didn't blindly accept this impossible task; she couldn't do it, that would be suicide.
If that really needs to be done... Karan needs help, and extremely strong help at that.
"She, she is the Demon Lord, and I am now..."
Kalan is only at Tier 4 right now, and there's absolutely no sign of him advancing to Legendary... How am I supposed to fight him!?
Oh, really?
Stroking the Death Hunter's head, the sage nodded in realization and said:
[Yes, that's true. You're still too weak right now.]
In that case...
So……
Karan became excited; a possibility had occurred to her!
Is this a reward for granting me even greater power?
This power would naturally come at a price, but compared to that uncertain cost, the demon Kalan preferred to gain tangible power!
Even if it means sacrificing my own soul!
However, the sage did not grant her wish. Instead, she lowered her head and softly asked the Death Hunter, who was as docile as a domestic dog:
