Chapter 253: Utter Madness! (Part 3)
"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Goliath quietly looked at him, his decayed face showing no emotion.
Karamos stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said.
"Of course not, you're a Witch Demon."
"..."
Karamos had intended to lighten the mood, but didn't expect the atmosphere to fall silent again.
Goliath's Soul Fire flickered slightly, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness, like the sound of suppressed bones rubbing.
"Your cold joke... is not... funny... at all... heh."
Karamos: "..."
What's so funny about this?!
...
The violent wind weaved through the ruins, tearing at the broken stone pillars and collapsed domes with sand.
This is the edge of Demon City, where the light of the Purple Crystal Vault cannot reach, because the local Lord indulged in the balls of the upper class and neglected to manage his land, causing the Demons here to live in endless darkness for a long time, forbidden to leave the Lord's land even if they starve to death.
Of course, under normal circumstances, they would not starve to death, after all, there are far more Demons in the Underworld than on the surface, and the Temple of Demon City would sporadically send food in the name of the Demon God.
However, even if this territory has become worse than ever, no one holds the Lord here accountable.
And the reason is quite simple.
There are plenty of such wastelands in Hell, as long as the Demons here don't go mad and rebel, or breed the corruption of Chaos, no one really cares.
Unless one day it suddenly develops like Black Wind Castle, at least having a lamp post that flares synchronously with the Purple Crystal Dome, the High-level Demons in the Parliament Building would then suddenly care about how the Demons living here are doing.
Of course, the Demons living here usually don't care what the High-level Demons in the Parliament Building are scheming, nor about any major events happening recently in Demon City.
It is precisely because of this that Zack can escape the searches from the Truth Department and Intelligence Department, settling safely under the nose of Lord Demon God.
The edge of the abandoned city district, a temple that has been deserted for unknown years.
Indistinct statues silently overlooked the wretched figure.
He hid in the corner of the temple, deep shadows engulfing him, his plain robes covered in dust, just like the rags wrapped on Ratmen slaves.
The once proud Elder Zakro Dragon now could only hide like a stray dog.
Zakro's face twisted darkly, with his pupils burning with a venomous light.
"Damn it... those cowards, ungrateful scum! Sooner or later... I'll twist off his head, boil his bones into soup, drink his blood dry!"
As the words fell, Zakro punched the wall fiercely, barely stopping with enough force to prevent the broken stone wall from collapsing.
Stones crumbled onto his arm, watching the wavering stone wall finally steadied, both shocked and furious, he then exhaled slowly, leaning against a nearby stone pillar.
Kamu surrendered.
That mad dog not only failed to take all the trouble but also revealed all the secrets with that notebook.
Originally he hoped for the younger brother to accuse the elder brother, allowing Xino to inherit the position of Family Head under his protection, then later find a way to fetch Kamu from the dungeon of the Truth Department after the storm had passed... but now it's over, those who couldn't see the big picture have completely destroyed the future of the Dragon family!
Just because of the children's betrayal, even the respected Minister of Religion, his mentor Bishop Goliath Soren, gave up on him in disappointment!
Zakro's face was filled with humiliation and unwillingness, the immense hatred burning his soul.
He hated it so much!
Not just hating Luo Yan, he hated Xino who stabbed him in the back while pretending to be subservient!
And the coward who switched sides, Kamu, even his own flesh and blood Reggie... if it wasn't for that guy withholding things and not submitting all the research progress to him, hiding it in distant Thunder County, how could the Dragon family fall into such a dilemma?
These selfish people... all thinking of themselves! Eyes completely devoid of this family!
"This isn't over... just wait! Once I survive this crisis, I'll reclaim the humiliation you bestowed upon me, not leaving a single part!"
"And you... Luo Yan! Just an illegitimate child without status, a wild dog without a family, what gives you the right to fight me! Just wait, the Padric family can't guard you forever, you're merely a tool for them to rob the Dragon family! Once I catch you, I'll slowly torture you... hahaha..."
Those venomous pupils flickered with a crimson light, Zakro's throat emitted a morbid laugh, as if already engulfed in unrealistic hallucinations.
And at that moment, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the temple.
The manically laughing Zakro turned abruptly, his sharp gaze shooting like lightning towards the shadows under the ruins.
"Who!"
The voice carried a massive pressure, releasing fear as if it were a tangible presence.
Sensing the threat of death from the Purple Crystal Level Horror Demon, the Horror Demon standing under the partly collapsed door quickly raised its claws, folding its wings while shouting in a sharp voice.
"Me! It's, it's me... Habi, your most loyal servant!"
