Who Isn't a Herrscher?

Baron Kuroa's gaze then turned unusually serious and solemn as he looked at Leticia and spoke in a grave voice.

"Leticia, you should know very well... just how terrifying your master is!"

Yes, I knew very well...

Leticia spoke to herself deep within her heart.

"Although this matter hasn't been made public yet, and only the god clans of the highest levels know about it, one of the strongest God Slayers, 'Einess,' appeared in Hakoniwa because of your master!"

At those words, Leticia's eyes widened and her expression froze before she turned back to Baron Kuroa.

"What did you say? That 'Einess'?"

Baron Kuroa nodded heavily.

Seeing her former companion nod, Leticia instantly understood everything.

"So that's how it was. That's also why White Night Dragon entrusted the Queen, whom she was utterly at odds with, to pass a message on to my master..."

Seeing Leticia's expression, helplessness appeared on Baron Kuroa's face.

"It seems you already knew."

"Leticia, you need to prepare yourself. Since those god clans of the Upper Layer have already decided to subjugate your master, they certainly won't spare you, his follower, either. You know their methods and temperaments very well."

Hearing Baron Kuroa's words, authority and confidence appeared on Leticia's exquisitely dignified face. There was not the slightest trace of fear in her voice.

"Then they are welcome to try. I wouldn't mind if Hakoniwa had a few fewer god clans!"

Leticia's current strength could no longer be compared to when she had been the Hakoniwa Knight or Dracula, the Piercing Demon Lord.

Beside her, Baron Kuroa adjusted his bowler hat and shook his head with a bitter smile before speaking.

"But no matter what, we are still companions from the same Community, so..."

Before Baron Kuroa could finish, Leticia shook her head at him.
