With a thunderous boom!
Several cracks spread toward the Severed Domain city district.
Everything had happened too fast—so fast that the demons could barely take it in. Only after Miss Altinashi vanished entirely beneath the mechanical Red Dragon's Claws did the demon lord avatars seem to come back to their senses.
Yet judging by their expressions, the torrent of information that had burst forth in rapid succession still could not be fully processed by their already-chaotic minds, leaving them looking somewhat stunned.
They could not understand why Red Shroud had openly betrayed the Abyssal Will, especially for something as laughable as love.
Just as they would never believe that Pazuzu and the Succubus Queen, as parents, would speak of family affection to Red Shroud.
Because this was the Bottomless Abyss.
This was a land without morality or ethics, a land of never-ending slaughter; an evil land where friendship, kinship, and love had never existed—only betrayal, killing, and destruction.
Nor could they understand the truth being proven before their eyes: why could order and chaos coexist within the same being—a former demon lord whose identity could also be the Duke of Avernus?
"So it really is you, Tibilus! You're still as reckless as ever! You still think you can defeat me within a demon lord's territory?"
A low voice slowly emerged from beneath Li Weier's Claws.
This Lady of Transformation had actually taken Li Weier's full-force blow with ease. She forcibly lifted the Red Dragon's claw, her gaze fixed on him with savage intensity.
How could a Red Dragon that had already lost the power of the Abyss possibly be her match?
To Altinashi, who was on the verge of becoming the Lord of Severed Domain, such a challenge from someone who refused to learn his lesson—
was contempt!
was blasphemy!
