After pondering for a moment, Rudra decided to join forces with Velgrend and personally capture "Ciel."
For his grand ambition! For his goal!
Just as Rudra decided to head to the battle raging high in the sky,
a golden barrier etched with ancient patterns blocked his path, enveloping the entire imperial palace.
Everyone looked toward the figure hovering in the sky. Clad in a white robe, hooded, and barefoot, his true face could not be seen, yet the aura he exuded made everyone tremble.
Rudra's expression instantly darkened.
"Martial God—Morax!"
Rudra's voice was filled with wariness.
Though they had never met, Rudra recognized the man before him at a glance.
That oppressive presence, like that of an Eternal Emperor, was something Rudra had never encountered even after ten thousand years.
Only one person in this world possessed such pressure!
In terms of imperial bearing alone, "Morax" was no weaker than him!
Tatsuya Kondo, Damrada, and the other Royal Guard Knights surrounding Rudra were likewise shocked wide-eyed upon hearing that name.
They all turned to look at the white figure in the sky.
"Morax"!
One of the two leaders who had founded and ruled the Demon Country Federation.
One of the present-day demon kings of Nine Heavens Governing the World.
Because of his achievements and prestige, the world honored him as the Geo Archon!
And because of his powerful, unfathomable abilities, he was also known as the Martial God of the present age.
He was also the only being who had ever defeated the oldest and strongest Demon King, the Dark Emperor Guy Crimson, head-on.
The invincible one of the current age.
And a supreme enemy of the Empire's unification ambitions!
Merely sensing the vast, boundless aura emanating from the white figure in the sky, as immense as the world itself,
