Duke of Destruction Mel.
He was an utterly terrifying being.
He had single-handedly orchestrated the destruction of many planets and worlds.
He had numerous subordinates, raised powerful and savage demonic beasts, and was notorious for his cruelty.
But he was dead.
He had died at the hands of an unknown newcomer.
None of them accepted it.
But-
Destruction Will personally descended upon the Castle of the End to announce the legendary deeds he had accomplished.
It had been many years since anyone had received Destruction Will's personal endorsement.
Perhaps he really was strong?
Everyone hesitated, wavering somewhat.
Then.
The new duke died.
He was stabbed to death at the port.
His death was utterly unceremonious.
By the rules, when any Destruction Servant died, everything he owned would pass to whoever killed him.
So.
The man who had killed Duke Mel—the new duke, the one endorsed by Destruction Will—
Was killed by a young man.
The young man became the duke.
-It sounded a little convoluted.
But the fact was, an unknown young man had become the new duke and inherited everything the duke owned.
Everyone struggled to process it.
With one thing after another happening every day, where could they even go to complain?
-Just kill him!
Why should he get everything the duke had spent so many years building up?
Was he even worthy?
Inside the Castle of the End.
Numerous factions stirred restlessly, and countless Destruction Servants' minds raced.
But Shen Ye knew nothing of any of this.
He did not even know the news would spread so quickly!
At that moment.
He was still at the port, waving at the Destruction Boat.
"Come over here!"
He shouted.
Clerk Brenna stood to one side, both hands clamped firmly over her mouth.
Were dukes really that easy to kill?
