Chapter 793 - 257: Did I Really Kill Him?!
However, Thanos completely ignored Glak's disdain.
To eliminate a Purple Crystal Level strongman with only Silver Level strength!
There is only one explanation—
This guy, like those lunatics from the Campbell family, is a Chosen One appointed by the supreme Divine!
They have come to this world with a mission!
This explains why he received help from a mysterious Demigod Level expert. His background is likely not only connected to the high echelons of Demon City but directly to Lord Demon God himself!
Luo Yan glanced at Thanos deeply, not knowing what this dog was imagining, only finding that gaze oddly nauseating, making his skin crawl.
Then Luo Yan turned to his other two subordinates, his Adam's apple moved, and a hoarse voice carried an inscrutable aura of authority.
"You have done your best... go and rest."
The Three Demon Generals were relieved, nodded, and accepted the order.
"Yes..."
"Thank you, Lord Demon King!"
As the words fell, they vanished from the battlefield.
Almost at the same time they left, a long, hoarse wail suddenly came from the distant night sky.
"Woo——!"
A violent wind suddenly swept over Black Wind Castle, the distant sky tore apart, and three Skeletal Winged Dragons pierced through the night, their eyes burning with ghostly green Soul Fire looked down upon the city below.
Their bony wings gleamed ominously under the night sky, each flap stirring a storm of magic power currents, lifting dust from the ruins in the city, making the surviving residents of Black Wind Castle tremble in fear.
Yet human sorrows and joys do not connect.
Watching the Skeletal Winged Dragons circling in the sky, the players standing on the ground raised their heads and couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"Whoa, Bone Dragon?!"
"6666!"
"I thought the dog plotter was bluffing, but they actually made it!"
Outside the Lord's Mansion, a cacophony of chatter was unceasing.
Luo Yan looked up at the sky, but his gaze never settled on those three Skeletal Winged Dragons; instead, it rested on the Horror Demon leading them.
The enormous aura was somewhat similar to Zakro, only its strength was much weaker, probably around the level of Professor Enos, which is the peak of Diamond Level.
As he looked at the Horror Demon, the Horror Demon also looked at him, amber eyes flickering with astonished light, as if it couldn't believe what was happening before it.
Luo Yan knew very well why it was shocked.
Back when Erin barely fought Qianqian to a draw at Gold Level using the Light of Praise, Qianqian was similarly astonished and nearly dropped her jaw in surprise.
The elderly steward shakily walked to Luo Yan's side, eyes filled with the relief of survival, speaking in an excited voice.
"Master, the people from the Truth Department have finally arrived."
"Hmm."
Luo Yan nodded, only glanced around at the mess, then looked at the Horror Demon slowly descending with flapping wings and said nothing more.
With its claws touching the ground, the Horror Demon in pitch-black armor folded its wings behind it, took two steps forward to the balcony below, and looked at Luo Yan standing on the balcony, speaking in a deep voice.
"I am Rahem Nefrek, Supreme Judge of the Truth Department. We received word that Zakro was here... Baron of Black Wind Castle, I need an explanation."
Luo Yan hadn't heard of his last name, thinking he must be the second son of some mid-level noble family in Demon City.
For High-level Demon families without many titles, sending a non-heir second son to the Temple or battlefield was a good choice. If they could prove their piety and loyalty at the Temple or battlefield, they could, in very special cases, achieve Soul Level promotion while alive. And in the special institution of the Truth Department, these rare exceptions were called Supreme Judges.
They are all clergy who swear lifelong vows to the Demon God, similar to the Holy Knights of the Aus Empire.
Luo Yan looked at Rahem, with no fear in his eyes, said calmly.
"As you can see, the fugitive Zakro, wanted by your department, sought revenge and attempted to assassinate me, the Demon King, not only causing a ruckus at a crucial military production site but also seriously harming the demon citizens living there... The evidence of his betrayal of Lord Demon God is conclusive. To maintain Hell's order and the dignity of Lord Demon God, I have executed him, sending his soul back to the Demon God Temple for Lord Demon God to judge his sins."
Initially hearing this official response, Rahem showed little reaction until he heard the latter part.
"... You killed him?"
"Yes." Luo Yan shamelessly admitted.
Since his old man didn't want to show up, he might as well take credit for himself.
After all, it's not a bad thing.
Looking at the Supreme Judge with shifting expressions, Luo Yan continued.
"I've given you the explanation you wanted; now I want an explanation... Why did you show up so late?"
Rahem was slightly taken aback, then spoke.
"It's over a hundred kilometers from Demon City to here, we've been trying our best to rush here."
"Is that so?" Luo Yan smiled noncommittally, clearly not believing his words.
Rahem spoke with a deep voice.
"If you have any issues with our work, you can file a complaint with the Parliament."
Luo Yan said flatly.
"No need, I'll be there myself by the latest next month."
At that moment, the Horror Demon's body shivered slightly, pupils narrowed, staring at Luo Yan from top to bottom, disbelief flooding its face.
