"Very well. Let Xiao accompany you. Should anything unforeseen happen, Xiao will naturally ensure your safety."

Mo Li nodded and replied calmly.

With Xiao's strength, unless Michael, Feldway, or Zalario, the leader of the Three Demon Commanders, acted personally, there would be no opponent in the enemy camp capable of defeating him.

Even the Primordial Seven Angels were no exception!

"Thank you."

Leon had no objections and simply agreed calmly.

He understood the purpose of having Xiao accompany him. Protecting him was one aspect; the other was likely to keep an eye on him.

Yet Leon had no objections at all.

After all, not only was his current situation enough to make Morax unable to trust him—

Even he himself was no longer so certain of himself.

As the holder of an Ultimate Skill from the Seven Virtues series, his current circumstances were far from optimistic.

Even Rimuru had been controlled by Michael's Archangel's Dominion, though he had ultimately broken free.

However, Leon believed there had to be some unknown secret behind Rimuru's ability to break free from Archangel's Dominion.

Rimuru himself knew that secret, and Morax certainly knew it as well.

Morax might even have had a hand in it.

But Leon possessed no means of guarding against Michael's Archangel's Dominion through King of Justice.

Rimuru's current strength was also no longer something he could compare himself to.

After all, according to Rimuru's explanation and Morax's confirmation, Rimuru had already reached Calamity-class.

As he was now, he would not be Rimuru's match!

And if he were truly controlled by Michael and turned his blade against Rimuru and the others, then... Chloe would be heartbroken and might even resent him.

At the thought of Chloe hating him, Leon felt as though he had been cast into an icy, bone-chilling hell.
