Karigulio was thoroughly enraged after hearing Diablo's words.
"Damn demon, how dare you look down on me! Die!"
Karigulio attacked Diablo with all his strength.
But he was too weak! Far too weak!!!
Like crushing an ant, Diablo effortlessly slaughtered Karigulio and harvested his soul.
And just like that, Karigulio, Legion Commander of the Empire's Three Great Legions' Mecha Legion, fell!!!
He had been defeated without even managing to force Diablo to reveal his true strength.
Looking at Karigulio lying on the ground, Diablo's eyes were filled with undisguised disappointment.
After all, this "Legion Commander" had disappointed Diablo far too much.
Diablo had learned from Gadra, the Empire's former Great Magician, that while the Empire had quite a few strong individuals, its true powerhouses were all within the Emperor's Royal Guard Knights.
In particular, those with single-digit sequence numbers were known as "monsters" within the Empire.
That Imperial Knight named Krishna, whose soul Diablo had harvested earlier, seemed to have been a Sequence Knight in the Emperor's Royal Guard Knights as well.
His sequence number seemed to have been somewhere in the teens.
That meant those with single-digit sequence numbers might all be humans who had surpassed Immortal-level and achieved self-awakening.

Without strength, Diablo would have no confidence at all when facing Mo Li. And without strength, how could he save Lord Rimuru, who had been "bewitched"?!
Diablo now
