"You!?"
Diregiss's expression changed drastically as he looked at Shien.
How did he know?
How did he know about "that"?
Diregiss's face completely changed, and his mind descended into utter chaos.
This head of House Laifirut had no idea that Shien had already dealt with Demonoid Larvae before.
Back in the kingdom, when Harvis had led a force to wipe out House Laifirut's elite troops, Warren had summoned a Demonoid Larva to aid his escape.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!"
Amid the billowing dust, a monster's roar rang out, becoming a shockwave that swept everything from the underground hall.
A gigantic figure burst out from beneath the earth, appearing before everyone as it entered the underground hall.
Dragon wings.

"Wonderful!"
"We're saved!"
The terrified members of House Laifirut suddenly lit up at the sight. One after another, they cried out in delight, as though the savage monster before them were not a horrific creature but a divine being capable of saving them. Some even had fanaticism and worship
