What?

Karan didn't understand what the other party meant at the first time.

"I……"

Do you want to be a king?

What king?

Karan's confused thinking kept him silent when he should have responded immediately.

She was thinking about how she should answer...

The figure known as the Sage did not urge him, but continued to look down at the dead hunter and silently extended his hand to it.

The dead hunter raised his head excitedly, his handsome boyish face was filled with a strange flush, and he excitedly wanted to rub his head against it to express his joy.

However, when the dead hunter, who was still enthusiastic at first, saw the adult's eyes, he froze on the spot.

It even started to tremble...

Those are such a pair of cold eyes.

On the blurry face, the only thing that could be seen clearly was a pair of pitch-black eyes with no other color visible at all.

And beneath that seemingly calm abyss, there are terrifying emotions...

anger?

His only master, the master who gave him true life, is angry!?

Who makes my master angry?

Who is it!?

roar!

The dead hunter wants to roar, it wants to roar for its master!

With just one command, it will tear everything apart in its master's wrath.

Even if the price is his own life.

However, before the Death Hunter could roar, all its movements stopped with one of his movements.

He didn't even move his body. Just a slight shift in his dark eyes made the dead hunter feel like he was facing an abyss.

die.

Endless death!

It has been bringing death to others since its birth. Only this time it can really feel the breath of death!

Frightening and fascinating...death!

The master's current mood does not want to hear roaring.

He felt that it was really too noisy.

Even for the dead hunter's current wisdom, it knew what to do at this time.

"Woo..."

It made a whimpering sound, lowered its head tremblingly in front of its master, and let his long white fingers pass through its black hair.

The great master who made the dead hunter feel frightened and uneasy did not speak after gently stroking its hair, but it could feel that his mood seemed to have improved a little.

So it became more well-behaved, lowering its head docilely like a pet.

Although this scene seemed a bit warm, the third person present did not feel that way.

This scene, from the perspective of Karan, who knows the nature of death hunting best, is particularly frightening.

That cruel, morbid, aberrant demon who only knows how to devour life can actually be as well-behaved as a pet...

Looking at this scene, Karan even felt a little sick.

It wasn't out of disgust, but because I felt physically uncomfortable and wanted to vomit because of the scene that was too inconsistent.

However, no matter how much she resists this reality now, she understands that she can no longer remain silent.

You must give a response, otherwise...

"Sir, I...want to be a king."

In front of the mysterious existence, she revealed the secret deep in her heart.

The answer in Karan's heart has never changed!

"I want to replace my mother, the current Fire Queen, and I want to become the new queen!"

This is her ambition, no matter how long it takes...

【Oh, then kill her.】

ah?

The sage spoke easily and without any hesitation in his tone. He didn't even ask who the Fire Demon Queen was.

Karan didn't understand, she was still thinking about what happened...

He said, what?

The light words are like saying that you can crush a little chicken to death.

【Just today.】

What?

What on earth is He talking about!?

Kill the Fire Queen? And today?

Looking at Karan who was frozen in place, the sage seemed a little surprised and asked in confusion:

【Any questions?】

question?

Of course there is!

That's the Fire Queen!

One of the only sixteen demon lords left on the surface of the abyss, he is even comparable to the existence of a saint in his own territory!

Do you mean you can kill by killing?

"I...I can't do it alone."

Karan did not say that this was impossible. That would be distrust and insult to the sage.

But she didn't blindly accept this impossible task. If she couldn't do it, she was simply seeking death.

If he really wants to do that...Karan needs help, and it's extremely powerful help.

"She, she is the demon lord, and now I..."

Karan is only at level 4 now, and there is no way to advance to legend yet... How to fight!?

【Yeah?】

Touching the dead hunter's head, the sage nodded suddenly and said:

【Indeed, you are still too weak now.】

【In this case...】

So……

Karan became excited and thought of a possibility!

Are you going to reward me with more power!?

Naturally, this power will not come without a price, but the demonic Karan is more willing to obtain tangible power than the uncertain price!

Even if it means sacrificing your own soul!

However, the sage did not follow her wishes. Instead, he lowered his head and asked softly to the dead hunter who was as obedient as a domestic dog:

【Can it be done?】

!!!

In just an instant, the Dead Hunter returned to the appearance that Karan had remembered, and the androgynous boy's face showed an eye-catching ferocity and excitement.

It has no fear at all for this task!

It can be done!

It craves killing and death!

【very good.】

After rubbing the dead hunter's hair with satisfaction, the sage seemed very happy and patted its head gently.
