Raglas would not normally have been so irritable.
Dunn was a Legendary, after all. As an Abyss Lord, trading a few insults with a Legendary was no big deal.
But Raglas had invested considerable effort and resources in Byron.
Originally, Byron had not been a demonic Warlock with a Flame Demon bloodline.
With bodies at least several dozen meters tall, Flame Demons could not reproduce with humans, either.
It was Raglas who had given Byron large quantities of his blood essence and spent vast amounts of materials performing a bloodline conversion ritual for him.
Only then had Byron acquired a Flame Demon bloodline.
And achieved what he had today.
They had already agreed that, during the decisive battle between the Wizard Council and the Lyon Empire, Byron would secretly open an Abyss Gate and let Raglas invade the Material Plane.
To that end, Raglas had even recruited several other Abyss Lords and wheedled quite a few handouts out of them.
But unexpectedly, the expulsion of the first God Ascender from the Material Plane had forced the decisive battle between the Wizard Council and the Lyon Empire to halt midway.
Byron had been just about to open the Abyss Gate, but had no choice but to quietly close it again.
After all, with no one keeping the Wizard Council occupied, suppressing a few Abyss Lords would have been all too easy.
Byron might have been a traitor to humanity, but he had no desire to get himself killed!
That alone would have been fine. At worst, they could wait for another opportunity. After all, the Wizard Council and the Lyon Empire would have to fight this battle sooner or later.
But now, before that opportunity had come, Byron was dead!
Even his soul had been taken away, leaving him no chance
