Chapter 186

We are suddenly all quite aware of the situation we are in, because beyond Camillo who is under mother's care, heavily wounded, none of us even moved an inch, the tension growing between us as we wait for the beast to act, the only one completely at ease, totally disregarding the state he left the Demon Lord at, a fate far worse than death for sure, to be rendered completely hollow and weak, so meek that all his enemies would gladly take advantage of his current state to punish him further, and by the looks of it not even scream he was able to anymore.

And yet as crazy as things go sometimes I did not expect the next events, and even the beast turn to look when we hear heavy footsteps descending the many stairs that lead to this place.

Each step is more deafening than the other, and I hold my breath once it gets close to the end of it, just around the corner from us.

But what I see makes me frown, only to sigh next.
