The Author's POV

Chapter 828

Rumble—! Rumble—!

Everything started to crumble the moment Prince Letvia was defeated. The scene didn't go unnoticed by those beneath, as almost everyone was able to catch a glimpse of what had happened.

"D..did we…"

"The Prince?"

It had all happened so fast that the demons beneath were unable to understand what had happened completely.

"You traitor!"

A scream suddenly spread across the sky.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you betray our race!"

It was only after they heard an enraged shout in the air that they snapped out of it and focused their attention on a particular demon with long pink hair.

It was none other than Prince Valling who took the scorn and hatred of the demons with a calm expression. Such expressions were the norm for him.

There wasn't much that could unsettle someone like him.

Beside him was the same hazy figure that killed Prince Letvia.

Underneath, on the main floating island, Jin tore his gaze away from Ren and looked to his right, where a demoness he was all too familiar with appeared.

She was looking at the scene above with an incomparably serious expression.

"Are you sure about your decision?"

"Mhm."

Priscilla nodded her head, tearing her gaze away from the scene and shifting her attention to Jin.

"It certainly wasn't easy, but…"

A bitter smile spread across her features.

"…We didn't have much of a choice."

Thinking back at what had happened a while ago, she could only bitterly shake her head. It truly was… not much of a choice from their end.

Aside from what had happened with them in Ka Mankhut, their positions were awfully obvious within the Sloth clan, and while they didn't dislike their position, they still wanted more.

They were ambitious and had always dreamed of reaching a higher position.

Since a chance presented itself, they chose to take it.

They were not so foolish as to take the risk without first having some evidence to show them that it was a risk that would be worth taking.

It was for this very reason that they had demanded that the human show proof before coming to the decision to join his side.

The two cores belonging to the Pillar Masters… That was enough proof for them to take the gamble and join his side.

'Now then…'

She secretly sighed to herself, staring once again at the shadowy figure in the sky.

'…We've placed our bets. We can now only hope that our gamble pays off.'
