Chapter 279: Demon Slaying (cont.)

"Could it be a demon commanded by Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth?" Lakyus guessed.

Jaldabaoth was the demon emperor who had previously attacked the Re-Estize Kingdom's royal capital, a super monster rated above difficulty 200.

As long as she could join up with Lord Momon, there would be nothing to fear. That was how much faith Evileye had in Momon's strength.

"Mm." Lakyus nodded, then suddenly
