The Author's POV

It was only momentary.

But in that brief moment of time that Duke Adramalech laid eyes on the figure standing in the middle of the room, he suddenly felt an ominous chill run down his body.

This…

While it came and went as fast as it came, it had a profound impact on him, causing his guard to rise right away.

A nervous grin spread across his face as he examined him closely.

'White hair, blue eyes…human?'

Duke Adramalech's eyes widened at that moment. He then opened his mouth calmly.

"…You're white death."

His white hair, the fact that the events unfolded near the Pride clan's border, and his human status...

Duke Adramalech instantly came to this conclusion.

He was White Death.

Upon coming to this realization, his mind started to race as he also thought of something else.

"…If you're really white death, then everything makes sense."

In no time at all, he understood what had truly transpired at the border.

Raising his head, his eyes met with White Death's.

"Everything that happened in the border was something you did on purpose to divert my attention from the arena, so you could sneak in and do whatever you wanted..."

Glancing around the place, his brows knit.

"Was your goal to enter the treasury and take all of the stuff?"

His voice contained a trace of uncertainty.

Although the treasures in the treasury were valuable, they were not something that someone on a Duke level would desire.

In most cases, that kind of stuff would be too valuable to not be consumed immediately.

"That's not it..."

Death's voice caught the Duke's attention, snapping him out of
