Chapter 152: Chapter 152: War [13]
— My lord, be careful!
Suddenly, Luna’s worried voice was transmitted directly into Kael’s brain.
’What do you mean?’
The situation was fine, wasn’t it?
Amon was caught off guard.
That demon wasn’t paying any attention to him in the slightest.
And Kael’s sword was swinging down at a speed that nothing could keep up with.
It was obvious that this would be the end of this commander.
Right?
Honestly... he wasn’t sure anymore.
"Don’t touch Lord Amon, you bastard!"
Suddenly, an angry human voice rang out.
It wasn’t Luna’s voice.
It couldn’t possibly be Kael or Amon’s voice either.
Then that meant...
Clang!
The sound of two swords clashing echoed loudly in the enormous room.
At the exact moment his blade was about to make contact with Amon’s flesh, another sword blocked his entire slash.
And when Kael realized who it was, his eyes couldn’t help but widen in surprise.
’The guard that stopped me from entering this tower earlier!’
At this moment, that guard no longer had the serious expression he had before.
Instead, his expression was ferocious.
As if he wanted to rush up and tear Kael to pieces right away.
Indeed, what Kael feared the most had happened.
"How funny, human. Did you really think I wouldn’t notice your presence?"
Amon sneered with a sarcastic smile.
"Don’t underestimate my slaves, human! They’re smarter than you think!"
This bastard had prepared everything beforehand.
This was nothing more than a trap to catch him!
"...!"
The next second, Kael felt his collar being tightly grabbed.
No matter what he did, he couldn’t escape.
And then, like a worthless doll, Kael was thrown far away, by none other than another guard.
’...I see...’
Finally, he understood why Luna was so nervous.
It wasn’t because of the appearance of those people.
It was because... their power was too terrifying, not like that of a normal person at all.
’This power... belongs to... a... Transcender.
How... could such people possess such a huge amount of power?
Was it thanks to Commander Amon’s power?
Or was it because Amon was forcing those humans to push their bodies to the limit?
Boom!
Before Kael could find an answer, his body slammed into a wall at the end of the room.
A thick cloud of smoke rose up.
The place where Kael had just collided with appeared many cracks that could not be ignored.
If it were a normal person, they would have died.
But fortunately, Kael was not a normal person.
’Get up!’
With unsteady steps, he stepped out of the smoke.
Even so, Kael’s eyes still smoldered with an indomitable fire.
"Hahahaha! Great, human! This is the first time I’ve felt that from a human!"
Causing Amon’s emotions to be pushed up several times.
That demon was... excited, judging by Amon’s eyes.
Amon enjoyed tormenting humans immensely.
But, it wasn’t because the demon wanted to hear their screams or pleas.
It was because Amon wanted to see the fire in humanity’s eyes slowly die out from hopelessness.
’What a psychopath.’
Kael gritted his teeth, then cracked his own neck.
Crack!
Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
Not stopping there, from outside the hallway, at least 20 armed guards rushed in.
"Are you okay, sir Amon?"
All of them stood in front of Amon, pointing their swords at Kael, a human.
’How ironic.’
He thought.
’Humans are protecting a demon?’
Then, Kael gripped his sword handle tighter.
His opponents were not just ordinary guards.
They had the power of a Transcender at least.
"I’m fine."
Amon shook his head, enjoying the feeling of being treated as a god by the humans, the enemies of the demons.
"Is he an enemy, sir?"
One of the guards pointed at Kael.
"Yes."
Amon nodded, giving Kael a calculating smile.
"Understood."
Without any orders from Amon, the three guards quickly charged towards Kael.
Whoosh!
Their speed was truly too horrifying.
To the point that even he could not keep up.
In just a brief moment, all three of them had successfully closed in on him.
All three swords were raised high, ready to strike down.
If he was hit or couldn’t dodge in time, Kael would die.
But, his eyes still didn’t waver at all.
These people were strong.
And in order to win, Kael had to use everything he had.
[Authority of Gluttony.]
Darkness erupted from Kael’s palm, swallowing the three people before they could even harm him.
"..."
In the next moment, the entire reality seemed to fall silent.
Or rather, only Amon felt numb.
His eyes widened, unable to believe what he had just seen.
"You are... that person?"
But, for some reason, a smile filled with excitement still appeared on the demon’s lips.
"The Demon King told me that there are some humans with special powers, and you are one of them?"
"..."
Although Kael did not respond, the answer was already obvious.
Realizing this, Amon not only did not panic, but the smile on his lips became even brighter.
"Oh my! How wonderful! Today is my lucky day!"
Then, the demon pointed at him.
"I have decided, human! I want you in my collection!"
"..."
Kael said nothing, just raised his middle finger towards Amon.
But it seemed that it had no effect on him at all.
"Continue your attack, my beloved slaves!"
"Understood."
Like emotionless robots, they all charged at Kael.
But, no matter how many there were, it was not enough to stop him.
More than half of those guards had been swallowed by [Authority of Gluttony].
And the rest had been personally killed by Kael himself.
But...
"..."
Kael frowned unconsciously.
These people... no matter how they were killed, they did not scream, nor did they show any signs of pain.
They truly had no emotions left.
It made him feel... so bored.
Yes.
’Killing these people is like talking to a rock.’
It did not leave Kael with any emotions.
Yet, it took a lot of time.
Meanwhile, Amon, who was still standing outside observing the battle, could no longer calm down.
"Great! Just great! Super great!"
His body trembled with satisfaction.
"What an inhumane person, human! I’m even more interested in you now! Hahahaha!"
As if he had just taken drugs.
"But, how long can you keep that cold expression?"
Snap!
A snap of his fingers resounded clearly in the vast space.
And the next moment, reinforcements from outside poured in.
"...!"
This time, Kael was forced to feel stunned for a moment.
Because the people who had just entered were not guards.
They were just ordinary citizens.
