Doom Entegasto’s eyes were filled with the same fury it had when it killed Insectum as it looked down at me. I could feel it glowering furiously at the back of my head for a while. Allowing it to stare at me as I lowered my head in front of it wouldn’t be enough to quell its anger. Even if it had killed Doom Insectum and given me severe pain, it was just an event in the past that was wiped away once the Man Who Overcomes Adversity had activated.
The opening ceremony was over. If it tried to intimidate me again, then I was planning to fight it back. I believed that since the Man Who Overcomes Adversity had been activated outside of its domain, it was an opportunity for me to assess the extent of the gap between us that had widened over time.
After all, I was now in the realm of immortality, not Doom Entegasto. If I got a chance later, I needed to test its true power.
Another message appeared.
[Please don’t take this the wrong way. I, Lunea, am just delivering what Doom Kaos says. Do you get it? Do you understand?]
However, only Caso and Mount were on the stairs below and above me. The two had just witnessed Insectum’s punishment, so they seemed to be holding their breath, trying their best not to provoke Entegasto.
[If you understand, then kneel down right now. Although Insectum and you both made a mistake, you have reaped all the benefits. Hurry up before Doom Entegasto’s generous heart starts wavering~ Before our master changes his mind~ Hurry up!]
This bastard…
Lunea kept sending messages as it knew it also had Doom Entegasto’s support. In addition, I couldn’t spot it anywhere.
Apparently, Doom Kaos wanted to wrap up the situation at this point, so I kneeled down first. In fact, I would not hesitate to kneel down repeatedly, as long as it meant that I was able to keep my recent spoils.
As the opportunity for me to assess Doom Entegasto’s true ability was slipping away, I silently reminded myself that this was not the appropriate place to provoke it, so I waited patiently in silence.
A moment later, Doom Entegasto’s agitated heartbeat began to roar louder as it climbed up the stairs. The vibrations and oppressive atmosphere it created when it came down had doubled as it went up.
The black armor that encased it and the decorations attached with ancient dragon bones vanished into the darkness behind the curtain…
Sheeeek-
Lunea appeared in the conference room as if it was being sucked in.
[Oh, gracious Doom Entegasto! I, Lunea, am so honored that I don’t know what to say. T.T Doom Man should never forget this moment.]
In the past, it had referred to the Guide Lumah-le as an “outdated guide who had fled its clan,” but claimed that it, Lunea, was more loyal and serious. However, that was nothing but a lie it had said that out of fear. As soon as it was appointed as ‘Doom Kaos’s messenger,’ it revealed its true nature.
Even Yeon-Hee couldn’t distinguish them upon first impressions. They all looked alike, and they all shared the same frivolous attitude that annoyed us.
[Alright, I will go up the stairs on step at a time~! ( ノ◔ω◔)ノPlease make room for me, Doom Caso!]
Joy was evident not only through its messages but also on its face. Mount struggled to move up a step, as its chains were holding it down. Caso looked up at me with eyes full of fear. Compared to Caso’s size, Lunea was no more than a tiny firefly. I watched as Lunea flew in front of Caso and idly wished that Caso would strike it down, but that didn’t happen.
As I went up to the step where Mount had previously stood, I experienced a sense of relief. If I had kept the bone ring with me, then I would not have allowed Entegasto to treat me that way.
I had been checking the upstairs cautiously and then quickly averted my gaze in order to not provoke Entegasto any further. Then, I lowered my head and waited quietly.
Despite being aware of the enlarged area inside my shell, I couldn’t concentrate on the ultimate sensation it brought. All eyes, especially Doom Entegasto’s, were fixed on me. His anger-filled gaze continued to penetrate the curtain and reach me.
The signs of the meeting commencing didn’t appear until a little later.
[First, let’s look at the battlefields first. You guys all know that our master is almighty, right? I, Lunea, swear my eternal loyalty to my master here~ ✧.ﾟ٩(๑>◡
