The Author's POV

Chapter 780

If one were to use a word to describe how the situation beneath the tower was, it'd be 'slaughter'. The large hall of the tower was filled with blood, and the agonized screams of the demons could be heard continuously ringing out from within the space.

"Akh!"

"Aurgkh!"

What was supposed to be a trap in which they would find their way to slay the current leader of humanity instead turned out to be a slaughter for the demons.

Things weren't supposed to be this way.

Spurt―!

"Akh! No!"

Cracka! Cracka!

Sparks of electricity were seen flying through the air, and blood was seen accompanying each spark. The next thing that appeared after the sparks were a couple of yellow streaks.

They came forth immediately from Liam's eyes as they surveyed the entirety of the battlefield in front of him. There was something distinctively different about him today...

Whenever his gaze settled, a number of demons would fall from the sky and, not long after, turn into powder. It seemed as though his form was constantly fading into and reappearing in front of a demon before reverting back to a blurry state.

When he moved through an area, blood would spatter, and a demon would be killed.

…He was like a god of death, and he garnered the attention of those around him.

"Who is he?"

"…Have you seen him somewhere before?"

"Since when did we have someone this strong and yet not know anything about them?"

Within the hall, conversations began to take place as everyone's attention was drawn to Liam, who was sneaking his way through the demons and dispatching them in a matter of moments.

Because of the uproar his actions caused, even Octavious and the highest-ranking officers of what was formerly the Union took notice of what was going on.

"Why have I never heard of him?"

Even Octavious was taken aback by the scene that unfolded in front of his very eyes. At first glance, he was able to tell that the man before him was not an ordinary person but rather someone whose rank had reached the rank.

…Having just recovered his feelings and retained most of his memories, Octavious was shocked to know that he had no clue as to who the young man was.

"Where did such a monster appear from?"

Even though everyone else was talking about him, the individual in question, Liam, seemed to be thinking about something entirely different.
