Forming an alliance with the royal army wasn't something Nox could do all by himself. It was why the group had decided to return to the barony.
However, before they left, Nox had ordered all the imprisoned demons to be killed, leaving only Hendrix and Kira—the red-skinned girl.
As soon as he stepped into the cells along with Wendy, Akira, and Serena, the two simultaneously jumped to their feet.
Nox didn't speak a word, only observing. And by looking at Hendrix, he could easily tell something was off.
"You... you're not the real Hendrix, are you?" Nox sighed, realizing Hendrix was one slippery bastard.
Even Ria appeared slightly shocked when she heard this, as Hendrix had acted as if he were the original. She had even begun to doubt herself—until the white-haired youth spoke.
"It seems you've truly grown to become more powerful, just like the rumours claimed," Hendrix chuckled. "To think you can now tell my clone and original body apart."
