At first, Lord Deon was surprised, not expecting his daughter to possess such an unwavering warrior spirit. She truly resembled Cassia. If only his wife could see how grown their daughter had become.
Luca's arrival to pick up his wife coincided with the news of Emmeline's group returning.
Even before they laid eyes on Emmeline, they sensed the presence of a royal-rank demon passing through the Northern border gate.
"Emy is back!" Without hesitation, Kelsey bid farewell to her father and left with Luca.
Only after his daughter departed did Lord Deon's expression darken. "Her core has cracked. It seems even the Demon King's black stone did not react."
He lifted his gaze toward the sky, as if his sight could pierce through the heavens and reach the upper realm where the god realm was located. "How merciless… This grudge will never fade, even if my soul perishes."
