The murmurs and constant whispers continued to resound. All the while, Jenna scooted a little closer to , feeling afraid. This was the type of reaction she was likely expecting back when she t the demons.
But now, this was the reaction she was getting from the humans. It was a normal reaction, given everything that happened, so I don’t bla them.
Still...
"We an you no harm," I said, deepening my voice.
The guards glanced at , startled by my lack of presence. They had co to their own assumption, and that assumption was that I was so strong that they couldn’t even feel my presence.
And for that reason alone, they decided to play it safe. They didn’t co close enough to see my altered appearance. But to tease them a little, I decided to make my crimson horns very visible. If anything, I forced them to curl out more, since I realized I could control them however I wanted.
And that was enough for everyone around Jenna and to freeze before bursting into panic.
"I-It’s a Demon King!"
"What are you talking about!? This one looks much stronger than a Demon King!"
"A-A Demon Emperor...?"
Safe to say, after the final words were spoken, the guards who weren’t that brave imdiately ran away. It was surprising how big of pussies these guys were, but I didn’t really judge them.
I would probably run away too if it ant keeping my life intact.
But had I actually been a Demon Emperor, these guys wouldn’t have been able to take a single breath before they’d all be reduced to ashes.
Chuckling to myself at their performance, I glanced over at Jenna.
"Don’t worry, once they’re done scrambling around, we’ll ss with them a little. Also, I know you know as Mikael, so just call Amon instead."
"Amon..." Jenna repeated, then nodded. "I understand. Then, can I trust you to have my back?"
"Of course—"
Before I could even finish my words, I suddenly felt my weight increase by several thousand tis. Jenna was obviously affected too, but I had managed to react in ti, cancelling the gravity effect on her.
As for myself, moving around while affected by such a weight was good practice. Very good practice.
More importantly, when I glanced atop the wall, I spotted Kevin. He seed a lot different than before, in the sense that all of his scars were gone. For a mont, I thought he had also managed to mature a little, but from how he was staring at with arrogance, I knew he still couldn’t figure out the difference in our power.
It was a pity, but he was the protagonist. Soday, sohow, he’d beco valuable enough to actually make a difference. But until then, I decided to give him a taste of his own dicine.
Before Kevin could even blink, his bones cracked as he began to suddenly hurtle through the steel wall, nearly passing out from how much pain he was in.
By the ti he was at the very bottom of the wall, alongside a massive chunk of the wall stuck inside his abdon, he was staring at in disbelief. Regardless of his injuries though, he quickly composed himself and began moving away all of the steel from his body, trying to allow natural regeneration to happen.
However, I wasn’t done teasing him. With another thought, I crashed down several thousand tons worth of telekinetic energy on him, practically turning every single bone he had into dust as a small crater began to form underneath him.
Once I no longer felt any resistance from him, I halted. I gave him a quick check, and after realizing that he was still alive, I let out a chuckle. The guards had long since run away, realizing that I had practically manhandled one of their strongest warriors.
It was a real sha, but on the bright side, I managed to find out that Kevin had sohow reached Grade 40 already. Whatever Clentine did, it was effective.
And speaking of Clentine, I felt like she was slowly starting to make her way here. I tapped Jenna on the shoulder and reinforced her body slightly, on the off chance that Clentine decided to just drop a nuke on the two of us.
But even though Clentine and Kevin were here, I couldn’t sense lina or Isabelle anywhere. They were definitely not dead. Maybe they had sohow defected? Maybe they hated the way Clentine did things?
Well...
When I spotted Clentine’s beautiful figure erge from the gate, I knew that if I wanted to know more, I’d have to ask her.
Still, despite her being beautiful, she seed especially cold. She glanced down at the ruined Kevin, and then glanced back up at , her expression turning even colder.
"To what do I owe this visit?" she asked.
She didn’t recognize .
Heh.
"I was just curious whether you humans would like to form a truce or not. You see, my apprentice and I were just traveling and ca across this tree, where..."
I stopped talking, realizing that Clentine had begun to smile slightly. It was a warm smile, a relieved smile, and more importantly, it was a smile that I had been longing to see.
"Sorry for the trouble," I apologized in my normal voice.
Her smile widened slightly. "Don’t be. He needed a beating. It’s not like I can’t heal him right up. You can also give him so of your blood. That might be enough to heal him."
I shrugged, holding back the urge to just run in there and kiss her. "Well... my blood might not be that powerful. I will try though. But for starters, et Jenna. She’s Vincent’s kid."
Clentine glanced over at Jenna and gave her a warm nod. She had rembered Jenna, since I had told her plenty about her in the past, including the fact that she was a natural-born demon.
But despite that, Clentine’s warmth didn’t discriminate.
"Co inside the city. I’ll draw you both a bath."
