The Author's POV

Chapter 577

Bang—!

A powerful blast reverberated through a large room as a figure skidded back.

"Cough…cough…"

What followed after the blasting sound was a series of coughs as the dust in the air settled, revealing a figure with long black hair and yellow eyes.

"Cough...heee.."

Liam smiled as he wiped his mouth and noticed the smudge of blood on his thumb.

"That was pretty strong."

"What is another human doing here?"

An effeminate-looking humanoid with two curly horns floated in the air opposite Liam.

While levitating in the air, the demon licked his lips slowly as he gazed at Liam.

"Now that I'm getting a closer look at you, you're quite the handsome lad..."

"Uh?"

Shivers ran down Liam's body as he felt the gaze of the demon.

'What's going on?'

What prompted the shivers wasn't the demon's weird gaze, but something else...something deeper...it was his sixth sense. Something he had honed over countless battles and struggles.

At the moment, it was telling him that something was wrong with the situation.

His instinct was right as he felt a sharp whistling sound coming from his right cheek. It was there that Liam noticed the demon appearing right beside him.

It had only taken a short second for him to appear next to Liam and attack him.

'Fast…'

Liam thought as his eyes gleamed with a strange yellow hue and lightning began to crackle around his body.

Clang—!

A metallic ring echoed throughout the air as the demon's sharp nails came into contact with the sheath of Liam's sword that was only slightly tilted to the right.

Even then...

"Cough!"

Skidding several meters back, Liam coughed again. This time, blood came out of his mouth as his knee trembled and he was forced to stab his sword to the ground in order to stop himself from crashing against the nearby wall.

'…How powerful.'

Lifting his head up to gaze at the demon, Liam clenched and unclenched his fist as he placed the sheath of the sword next to his waist.

Massaging the side of his neck, he quietly mumbled to himself.

"As I thought, fighting against a Marquis ranked demon while I'm still rank, isn't suitable."

In the meantime, the demon was carefully observing Liam.

"You're pretty strong."

The demon commented.

Raising his head to stare at the demon, Liam lowered his heads

"Thank you."

"Keke."

The demon chuckled as the wings on his back folded together.

He then extended his hand.

"Continuing this fight is pointless. You're weaker than me, and you know that. It would be a pity to let such talent die, so…"

The demon's hand was suddenly enshrouded in a black hue as a scroll unexpectedly materialized on the top of his palm.
