The Author's POV
Chapter 517
"Hmmm..."
Staring at the hand that reached out for him, Edward didn't immediately take it. Rather, he continued to carefully scrutinize the individual in front of him.
'He's not simple...'
That was the conclusion he came up with after carefully examining him.
As the Guildmaster of the first-ranked guild in the human domain, Edward had the ability to discern, with a glance, whether someone was more than what met the eye.
Raising his head, their eyes met.
"White Reaper, right?"
"...Yes, that's my name."
"What a peculiar name..."
Lowering his head, Edward's eyes paused on his extended hand.
At that moment, he was astonished to discover two small words written on his index finger.
[Play along]
Closing his eyes, Edward's face remained stoic. Although he was surprised, he knew better than to show his outer emotions. Taking his eyes away from the hand, he glanced at the individual in front of him.
Once their eyes met, the ends of the White Reaper's lips curled ever so slightly. Edward's head cocked slightly as he noted this.
'Alright, I'll play along...'
Was it perhaps because of the sense of familiarity he gave off? ...Or was it because of something else?
In the end, he decided to play along.
"...What do you want?"
There was a slight tremor in the room as he opened his mouth. He was acting as he normally did when someone tried to meet him.
Lowering his head to glance at his hand, he smacked it away. He then indifferently muttered.
Smack—!
"Be quick, I don't have much time."
"Ah...nothing special."
The smile on White Reaper's face stiffened a tad bit.
He then replaced it with a flattering one as he clasped his hands together.
"I...well, I just wanted to pay my respects to you."
"Respect?"
Edward's eyes squinted.
'What are you trying to get at?'
He couldn't quite understand what he was trying to get at. Regardless, he continued to act as he normally did.
Glancing at the demon waiting at the door, he ordered.
"Get him out of my sight."
"...Huh, what?"
White Reaper's face changed. Turning his head back to glance at the demon waiting at the door, he raised his hands.
"Hold on a second, I'm not done speaking."
Focusing his attention back toward Edward, he spoke in a rather rushed manner.
"Mr. Overlord, please hear me out."
There was clear panic on his face as he said those words. Of course, having seen what was written on his hand, Edward knew that he was acting.
'But what exactly is he trying to tell...ah'
It was then that he finally saw it. It disappeared as fast as it came, but Edward was able to see it.
A small black ball that was resting in the middle of his tongue.
'Is that a dimensional space?'
Taking note of the black ball, Edward already seemed to get an idea of what the individual wanted him to do.
"Did you not hear me?"
Edward pressed his hand in a downward motion.
A terrifying pressure pressed against White Reaper's body as Edward channeled his mana into the air, forcing him to fall to his knees.
