Schwartz stopped in his tracks and raised his head to look at him; he chuckled and said, "Yeah, you are right. I guess I should introduce myself. If I don't, given your temper, you might kill ."
Everyone looked at Schwartz with incredulous expressions on their faces. Max was also dumbfounded as to why he dared to speak to him like that, even though he clearly knew that he was no match against him if Crimson Monarch grew angry.
He was also slightly worried. Although he didn't know Schwartz for too long and only t him here but after arriving here, he was the one who cleared his doubts and didn't show disdain towards him like others. Max started to like his carefree personality. Although he acted lazy and indifferent, he was, in fact, a caring person. Therefore, he didn't want him to die here.
Contrary to what he expected would happen, The Crimson Monarch didn't get angry. He looked at him curiously. He chuckled and asked in amusent, "And why do you think so?"
However, Schwartz shook his head and didn't answer him. He looked at him in the eyes and straightened his posture as he said, "My na is Schwartz Darvis, a Citizen of the Crimson Dragon Empire, which you founded. I'm sure now you know why I think like that, right?"
After introducing himself, he didn't wait to see his reaction or anything and stepped forward as he put his hand on the crystal orb and injected his mana into it.
After a few seconds, a bright red halo of seven and a half ters ford around the crystal orb. Aaron, Black Reaper and Margaret looked at Schwartz as if they were looking at a monster.
Max was also impressed by the affinity, which from his point of view, was very good. He thought like that because he noticed when Margaret tested and A seven-ter halo ford; Crimson Monarch looked at her as if he had found so treasure. Therefore, it was clear that Schwartz, who had half a ter more halo than her, should be a very rare talent.
Schwartz didn't look happy or sad by his result; instead, he looked at the Crimson Monarch and sneered, "And I've better affinity than you had for the fire elent, just as my ancestors had. We, the darvis, have always been superior to you and your family."
...
The crimson monarch stared at him, but his eyes were not focused at all. It seed as if he was staring at sothing or soone else through him. Even after a few minutes passed since Schwartz stopped speaking, he didn't speak or move. Not even his eyelids moved even a bit. It was like he was frozen in place.
"Hahahahahaha..." Schwartz laughed loudly and pointed at him as he said, "What a fascinating expression you have there! Are you surprised to see a Darvis still alive? Let tell you, there is not only one Darvis, but many who are still living and my family is even stronger than what it was in the past.
And the Empire you created is now half under my Darvis family's control, and soon it will fall under our complete control. I'm here only to tell you that your shaless betrayal and massacre of my family, we haven't forgotten it. Your efforts have gone down the drain even though it took many years, and we will surely repay the 'kindness' you showed to us and will utterly destroy your Crimson Family. Hahahahaha..."
Sigh!
A sigh rang out in the cave. The Crimson Monarch heard his monologue in silence and sighed a sigh of regret. He looked at him with sorrow, regret, bitterness and even affection and many more emotions.
"Your na is Schwartz, right?" He asked, looking at him as if he was looking at his own son.
Schwartz wanted to curse, but as he saw his expression, which was the sa ever since he revealed his na. He didn't understand why The Crimson Monarch, who was famous for his hot temper and would kill for even a small grievance, wasn't even showing any killing intent or didn't even release any murderous aura even after he talked about the past events and possible destruction of his family.
Although Schwartz hated him to the core due to past events but that didn't cloud his thinking. He was sure sothing fishy was going on.
He stopped laughing like a madman, and after calming himself, he nodded.
The Crimson Monarch sighed again and continued after seeing him nod, "Schwartz, you look the sa as your ancestor and my dear friend."
Schwartz grew angry when he heard him and shouted, "You still dare to call him your friend? Even after you betrayed and killed him. How shaless can you..."
Swoosh!!!
The Crimson Monarch waved his hand, and a few fire chains ca out of magma and restricted his movent and stopped him from speaking but didn't hurt him in any way. This showed that he has reached a level where he can easily manipulate fire any way he wants.
He looked at Schwartz and said in a calm voice, "Child, let speak first." He paused for a few seconds and continued, "As your family or others may think, I didn't betray my friend, let alone kill him. He was my only friend back then, and when almost the whole world was against , only he supported . He was like a brother to . I was cruel but not to the point of taking the life of my only friend."
After saying his part, he retracted the fire chains when he saw that Schwartz had cald down, and he knew that he would have many questions to ask him.
Schwartz didn't speak for so ti as he processed what he had just heard. He then looked at him and frowned as he asked, "You didn't betray him, and neither killed him; then how did he die when he went to fight with you against enemies. Not only that, most of my family mbers were slaughtered not long after."
