“You crazy bastard!” The demon shot up from his seat in surprise
‘He dare aood thing This way, he could kill the human without any reservations
‘I’ve never liked him’
The demon had always felt that henever he saw him Whenever he saw the Heavenly Deet filled with this foul feeling
Crack!
He swiftly swung his fist toward the human’s face
“Guh?” Blood poured from the demon’s mouth as he let out a broken cry
His chest felt cold
“”
When he looked down, there was a hole in his chest
“I have alondered what a lesser demon’s heart tastes like”
“What?” The de his heart “You son of a bitch!”
Furious, the demon mustered his power His ten claws shot out like knives and swung toward the Heavenly Demon’s neck
Slice!
However, the human was a beat faster His own hand severed the demon’s head first The demon’s head depicted an expression of pain and fury as it rolled on the ground
“That’s why you need to bow your head before soer than you,” the Heavenly Demon muttered He chewed on the deood However, this was expected because the blood he had just drunk cas than this one

Shadow entered the room cautiously He saw the blood scattered on the floor similar to a scene from a horror movie

“The demons cannot throw us away first,” he whispered
‘I I don’t think I can ask why’
Shadow really wanted to ask, but he held it in His life washis curiosity However, this told him that his place with the Heavenly Demon was secure “I will follow your orders”
As always, the Heavenly Demon did not reply Instead, he asked his own question
“How is the association faring?”
“It has never been this chaotic While the executives know you are alive, the Squadron Leaders are locked in a struggle for poithin the association now that their master has disappeared,” Shadow explained
“How fun” The Heavenly Deh How could he not? As soon as theirto take his place “Shadow Why do you think the Fiend association exists?”
“To take in the fiends rejected by the world, and to keep the Players in check”
“Incorrect” The Heavenly Demon said in an amused voice “The reason for the Fiend association’s continuous existence is not so grandiose” He showed Shadow his newly-created arm “It is like this arm Even if it is cut off, it makes little difference I can simply make another one It is just an entity to carry out my every order”

“The PlayersYou mean on each floor?”
“Correct I cannotabout the way he had been tricked by the Players’6 as well as the Rankers Send fiends to the upper floors”
“Understood”
Failing once had iving his orders, he closed his eyes and was lost in his own thoughts for a long tie for the ones who had killed him
