Are you sure we are not lost?
The Demon King and Liv were heading toward the next Demon General's Castle. Liv was a little concerned with the rapidly changing scenes around them.
Of course. Don't you underestimate the power of Demon King.
Does this have anything to do with power...?
Instead of worrying about the scenes, let's just hurry. We can't run again if there are enemies nearby. This is the only way to the castle.
Two of us... No, you alone are no match for the guards if there are many of them.
I should have told others about the situation...
Sorry, but the previous heroes of revelation left me a bad impression about you.
Remember when we first met? I was trying to take you with violence.
Um-hum. I was really scared...
Regretting won't help us. If your friends are as kind as you are, we will meet again eventually.
Sorry to disappoint you, Demon King.
!?
Who are you...?
It was a red-haired Construct, followed by a male Construct in black. Vera and Camu walked toward them.
Vera, Camu, why are you here... Wait. Are you our enemy?
Liv was glad to meet more of her peers, but she immediately recalled something mentioned by the guards.
Two heroes had chosen to fight for the King.
This is a race after all. Of course we will pick the easiest and fastest way.
Just like last time. I was hoping to meet you later. If only I can have the artifact...
The artifact is in our hands now.
Knowing what the Demon King was thinking, Camu took out a shiny gem fragment. Liv didn't know what it was, but the Demon King immediately recognized that it was the last piece of artifact.
Never thought Karuna would be beaten by you... Holy Maiden, we need to run.
Yeah.
The Demon King immediately made a decision. Running was the only option. He must not be caught.
Liv followed the Demon King and ran back toward where they came from.
Fine. I don't mind a race before everything ends.
