Chapter 151: Chapter 151: War [12]
"Hmm... How should I describe this place?"
The room behind the giant door was indeed very spacious.
It looked like a hall.
However, in contrast to its size, there were no decorations inside at all.
Empty.
Everything was covered in darkness.
Kael even noticed a few cobwebs on the ceiling.
But...
His gaze suddenly glanced downwards.
This place was not dusty at all.
It showed that it was cleaned regularly, or at least recently.
Then, Kael looked forward again, towards the middle of the room.
And there, he saw a throne.
And on that throne... was a handsome looking young man sleeping soundly, as if nothing could pull him out of his dreamland.
He looked so peaceful.
Causing Kael to unconsciously feel sleepy as well.
"...!"
Realizing what he had just thought, he immediately shook his head vigorously.
Then, his entire body stiffened as Kael realized how much he had let his guard down just now.
Just now, the guards had not allowed him to enter this tower.
And now, here, on the highest floor, there was a young man sleeping?
And sleeping on that throne too?
Obviously, he was Amon.
And he was sleeping.
’This is my chance!’
Without hesitation, Kael drew his sword, then quickly ran towards Amon, trying to make as little noise as possible.
Luckily, Amon still showed no signs of waking up.
’Sleeping well, huh, you damn demon?’
The closer he got, the clearer he could see the demon’s appearance.
And indeed, Amon was very handsome.
If Kael were a girl, Amon would really make him want to lock him up only to see his face every day.
But unfortunately...
Kael stopped when he was only 1 meter away from the demon.
’You’re a demon, Amon.’
With a gaze that couldn’t be colder, Kael raised his sword.
Then, without hesitation, he stabbed it into Amon’s chest, his gaze not wavering even a bit.
Thud!
Blood began to flow from the stab wound.
And Amon... had closed his eyes forever.
Was that true?
"Hmm?"
Kael frowned unconsciously.
He had just killed a commander.
That demon must have been a powerful existence, and he could have easily killed him with just one stab?
That sounded... absurd.
"...!"
But then, suddenly, Kael’s entire body stiffened as he thought of a terrible prospect.
Could it be...
’This isn’t Amon. It’s... his bait.’
Clap! Clap! Clap!
From behind, clapping sounds rang out from the darkness.
And following that was a voice that sounded so perverted that it was disgusting:
"You guessed it right, human. This is just a bait I’ve prepared for you. How about it, enjoy the feeling of thinking that you’ve successfully killed me?"
Kael instantly turned towards the source.
And there, stepping out from the darkness, was a truly handsome existence.
But, unlike the one Kael had killed, the demon he was looking at had black hair, along with a pair of deep black eyes, as if filled with fatigue.
His face was pale, seemingly a symptom of not getting enough sleep.
And that demon’s body... was unbelievably thin, as if a single gust of wind could blow him away.
"Tsk."
Kael clicked his tongue.
Obviously, the one he had just killed had nothing in common with the one who had just appeared.
This was the first time he felt this much hatred for Alaric when he didn’t show him a picture of Commander Amon.
’I’ll deal with you later, Alaric.’
Right now, Kael had to focus on confronting the opponent in front of him.
Emitting a bit of killing intent, he got into a ready stance, then charged straight towards Amon.
His sword was raised high, threatening to strike down at any moment.
But, that demon was still standing there, smiling faintly.
’Why can he be so leisurely?’
Kael had many questions.
But, not long after, he received the answer to his doubts.
"Don’t touch him, you bastard!"
From nowhere, a man suddenly rushed out, standing in front of Kael.
Shocked, he unconsciously slashed down, thinking that it was an enemy.
But, by the time he realized it was just a human, it was already too late.
"Damn it!"
Kael closed his eyes.
Whoosh!
He knew better than anyone how much force he had used in that slash.
So, that man must have...
"..."
Kael slowly opened his eyes.
And then, the first sight that entered his eyes was the man’s head that had been split in two.
At this moment, that man looked like a decoration in a haunted house.
It made Kael feel sick to his stomach.
Meanwhile, Amon’s faint smile had changed into a satisfied smile.
The smile that usually appeared on the lips of perverts after they had successfully committed a crime.
"Hahahahaha! How do you feel after killing your own people, human!?"
Like a madman, Amon laughed.
At that moment, Kael really wanted to curse back at this damn demon.
But, fortunately, his reason helped him realize that this might be Amon’s trap.
Gritting his teeth, trying to suppress his anger and disgust, Kael continued.
Like an assassin moving in the dark.
Amon, not realizing that he was being approached, continued to laugh loudly and chatter:
"I’m curious, human. Do you feel sadness, anger, joy, regret, or anything?"
Amon opened his eyes.
And the first thing that entered his vision was Kael’s face, along with his sword reflecting the light from the hallway.
"Are you kidding me...?"
Amon blinked a few times, completely unable to move.
"The emotion in your eyes is..."
Amon was very good at judging the emotions of different creatures through their eyes.
And at this moment, the emotion present in Kael’s sapphire eyes was...
"Nothing. In other words... emotionless?"
Then, under Amon’s stunned gaze as if he had just witnessed something unbelievable, Kael immediately swung his sword down with terrifying speed and power.
Whoosh!
As for Amon... he still didn’t understand how precarious his situation was.
"Why don’t you feel anything? Are you an emotionless monster? Or an actor who is extremely good at hiding his emotions?"
Kael, still not stopping, just looked at Amon as if he was looking at something ironic.
Who was he?
Was that even considered a question?
Kael was Kael.
The only one.
The one who could not be replaced.
Now he understood why Alaric had chosen him to face Amon.
In this battle, humanity was the most useless thing.
And coincidentally, of all the people The King knew, Kael was the only one who could kill innocent people without blinking an eye.
’You are a cunning man, Alaric.’
