Chapter 1170 - Aftermath (2) (1/2)

Sokzac wanted to get up and fight it out with Dyon. In fact, he had yet to even use his devil qi which could have easily doubled his power, if not tripled. However, Dyon's next words stopped him.

Finally able to use energy again, Dyon's voice was projected directly into Sokzac's mind. 'Think about what you're doing very clearly. If you expose your devil qi here, I won't help you. It's best you leave now.

'I have no real reason to kill you. Although your people have committed vile acts, that's a decision I assume was far above your paygrade and something I'll be sure to pay them back for in full. Don't give me a reason to slaughter you where you stand because I promise that even if you were three times stronger, it would make no difference.'

There were simply too many abilities Dyon hadn't used for him to be worried about Sokzac.

Turning away, he descended from the skies and hovered before Lilith, waiting patiently.

Lilith's expression was completely deadpan. It didn't have the same shock and awe everyone else's had, instead, she still had the same lofty aura, as though she was meeting an equal.

”Your fiancé isn't bad.” Dyon suddenly said with a grin, completely baffling everyone.

”It's not your place to commentate on this matter.” Lilith replied coldly. ”He's clearly shown more courage than you. It's easy to seem brave when you knew you would never lose to begin with.”

Lilith's voice carried a hint of disdain. She believed that Dyon could only storm through bravely because he had nothing to fear to begin with. It was Sokzac who knew he would lose but still fought anyway that displayed true courage.

Although she didn't quite understand it, after she was injured by Dyon and entered her most feeble state, her heart had opened slightly. It wasn't to the point where she was madly in love with Sokzac, but it was at least enough for her to defend him from outsiders making fun of him.

Lilith didn't seem effected by Dyon's otherworldly handsomeness or his b.a.r.e torso. Even when his smile made Asyna's heart palpitate while she stood behind the ice-cold beauty, it didn't move her in the slightest.

She just continued to stand in the air, her long white gown and hair looking completely untouchable. If it wasn't for the slight paleness of her face, one wouldn't think she was injured at all.

Dyon silently looked into Lilith's black eyes. He didn't bother to explain that his cultivation had been sealed, so he actually did display quite a bit of courage. It didn't matter to him. After all, this was a woman he wouldn't hesitate to kill if she dared to aim her ire toward him again. The only reason he was letting them go was because of Evangeline despite what he said to Sokzac.
