Ragnar's expression hardened. Unlike Mae-hwa, there was less disbelief in his eyes and more interest as he processed what Allen's words actually meant.
"I see..." A grin slowly appeared on his face. "So there's someone out there capable of defeating High Demons."
"Now that's something new," the Jester Demon said, his smile widening with obvious curiosity.
The Salesman Demon glanced around the table.
