Because right now, the mere dozens of Giant Demons left in the entire world were all imprisoned right here. Inside the Demon-Sealing Cages of the Heavenly Flame Dungeon.
Once these Giant Demons died out, the Giant Demon Race would go entirely extinct. Nothing more than a passing stroke in the annals of history.
Aurelia remained expressionless as she walked past the two rows of Demon-Sealing Cages.
Arriving at the deepest part of the dungeon, she saw Knox sitting at a table. His expression dark and cold as he drank bowl after bowl of wine.
The warden and the jailers all stood to the side. Looking at each other in dismay. Completely at a loss.
Seeing Aurelia approaching from afar, they finally let out a long breath of relief.
"Your Majesty, you have finally arrived."
"Young Master Knox, he..."
"Mm, you may all step down first."
Aurelia ordered the men to withdraw. She sat opposite Knox and spoke faintly.
"Failed again?"
