Chapter 139
Khal was caught slightly off guard when he saw Slinger’s true form.
It wasn’t his appearance or the sheer magnitude of his strength that surprised him, but rather the fact that the power he possessed felt so incredibly familiar.
‘I thought I had annihilated all the demons of the Demon Realm. Did he form a contract with a demon born from Sefirot after that?’
For a demon to manifest in the Middle World, they must establish a contract with a human.
In his past life, the mighty Demon King Rowadel, whom Khal had defeated, also harbored ambitions of conquering the Middle World… but those plans had to be delayed following the birth of Beliat.
The reason Khal felt a surge of revulsion when he first encountered Slinger was precisely because he had sensed the lingering scent of a demon.
‘One cannot escape their roots, I suppose.’
Just as a cold smile played on Khal’s lips,
Slinger observed Khal intently, his eyes filled with sheer disbelief.
‘This man. Who on earth is he?’
He had heard plenty about what kind of man Khal was through the Freemason information network.
A talent rivaling the Eclat Sept and the first man ever to be granted the title of Guardian Knight of Isilia. His reputation was highly regarded even in the underworld.
He knew.
He knew well enough that this man was exceptional.
But regardless of that, information regarding demons was a subject difficult for even the most outstanding Black Magic users to access.
Their numbers were few, but more importantly, anyone discovered would be relentlessly hunted by the Inquisitors of Sanctuarium.
