Chapter 180
Following the frost watchers, the Shadow Lord walked across the crystal land. Toward the deepest part of their kingdom, a forbidden place that could never be permitted.
“Ah, for the love of Seepal. How did I end up dragged here to Setro?”
Master Baro, beside him, retorted, and hostility flared once more in the expressions of the Frost Watchers.
“For heaven’s sake, stop needlessly rubbing salt in the wound.”
“Heh heh, these fellows probably feel like we’re scratching their nerves no matter what we do.”
Master Baro chuckled, and the leader of the Frost Watchers, the ‘Crystal Prince,’ spoke coldly.
“Shut your vulgar mouth, you disgusting human.”
“Oh my, did you call me a disgusting human, Your Highness?”
Master Baro continued, utterly unfazed.
“Well, I’ve done this and that with your neighbor, the Elf Queen, you know? We’ve been through it all in the Empire.”
At that, Dale couldn’t help but interject in disbelief.
“May I remember that statement word for word and repeat it before the old hag on the mountain?”
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Amidst the palpably murderous air, the depths of the Crystal Kingdom were literally a deserted ruin.
The ruins of the Second Empire, which had once commanded the continent.
“You who call yourselves mighty, behold my achievement. And despair.”
Gazing upon the scene, the Shadow Lord murmured softly. It was a poem from the old world he remembered.
