Malkar couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable anger when he heard how casually Daniel spoke.
Why did it seem like this human was feeling a bit… smug?
However, that emotion only lingered for a brief moment before Malkar regained his composure.
"My friend," he said with a calm yet weighty tone, "if you have no further questions, shall we be on our way?"
But Daniel didn't move. Instead, he remained where he stood, his gaze dark and unfriendly as it swept across the nearby Kings of the Abyss.
"Your Majesty," Daniel said, voice tinged with a dangerous curiosity, "I actually have one small question left."
"According to the rules of the Abyss… am I allowed to kill them all?"
The moment Daniel posed that question, every King of the Abyss present went on high alert.
Each of them tensed as if facing a mortal threat, eyes warily fixed on Daniel.
They immediately began establishing silent communications with one another, attempting to form a quick alliance for mutual defense.
