Theresa was slightly surprised.
Was it the Endless Swarm made up of those grotesque insects?
She turned around—
And found Kal'tsit surrounded by another kind of adorable purple little creature, along with several bulky large ones.
Was this the Swarm Theresis had mentioned...?
The young Demon King blinked.
"You and I must join forces and kill Kal'tsit."
Theresis sounded somewhat urgent.
More bugs were still pouring up from underground, clustering around Kal'tsit.
The gate had yet to close.
"Theresis, I cannot understand what you mean."
The young Demon King shook her head.
There was no way she could lay a hand on Kal'tsit.
"..."
The Regent fell silent.
He looked at his sister—
"You... can't see those bugs? They once devoured Kazdel!"
Theresis tightened his grip on his sword.
"No, they aren't the same."
How could these adorable little creatures possibly be the same as those grotesque bugs?
Theresa rejected her brother's claim.
A tiny Zergling emerged beside the Demon King's feet.
It looked around, then was picked up by a pair of hands.
Theresa stroked the little fellow's head.
"They're different, Theresis."
That was what Theresa said.
"..."
Theresis had no choice but to acknowledge one fact—
His sister had gone mad too.
Perhaps after devouring the Demons, these bugs had evolved some new and bizarre trait that allowed them to influence living beings' minds.
He watched his sister pick up a grotesque insect.
The bug's legs dangled down, greedy saliva dripping constantly from its jaws, while its golden beastlike eyes held nothing but bloodlust.
Yet the Demon King looked utterly unaware.
She had no idea what kind of monster she was holding.
Long ago, the Cyclopes had discovered that the Swarm and the Demons would clash.
The two were locked in a struggle to the death.
Wherever there
