Who would've thought he'd run into a Dragon King here, deep in the forest, on his way back to the castle?
Certainly not Hades.
But now, with the beast standing before him, he had no choice but to figure out a way to escape.
From what he had already seen and felt, he knew he didn't stand a chance. This man was no ordinary opponent—he was a monster.
That was why Hades's entire focus was on finding a way out.
"There is no escape for you, boy," the Dragon King cut into his thoughts. His voice was heavy, laced with mockery. "You will die here. That much, I promise."
Hades let out a wry smile, his body slowly mending thanks to his heightened regeneration.
"Oh? And why are you so sure of that?" he asked, buying time.
He had already contacted Luna and explained the situation. He wasn't foolish enough to think he could face this alone. Of course, he hated troubling them—but right now, he had no other choice.
