[116] August Drinks Divine Wine!
"Who are you? How dare you intrude into our familia's residence!"
Without any hesitation, the first sentence spoken was a questioning one.
August, in particular, felt extremely disdainful. This trash, who couldn't even withstand his conqueror haki, dared to bark here.
"It's you, Arde. You actually brought an outsider into familia and disturbed Lord Soma. You're dead."
Zanis continued, yelling at Lili. After all, if they really disturbed Soma, it would result in a significant loss of valis for him.
In the current Soma Familia, due to Soma's indifference to worldly matters, his words were absolute.
Using divine wine, he controlled the entire familia, while also collecting a large amount of valis.
Moreover, he had an eye on Lili because she possessed transformation magic, something that greatly intrigued him.
Splurt~
Without warning, a pitch-black shadow blade directly severed Zanis's head.
In the moment of decapitation, zANIS didn't even react. It was only after seeing his headless body that he understood—he had been killed.
"Soma, I've helped you clean up this trash. No need to thank me."
August's actions startled everyone.
Even the naturally calm Ais knew that killing another familia captain their territory was an extreme provocation. If things went south, it could lead to a major conflict.
Only Lili, who was witnessing the nightmare from her childhood die in this way, looked incredibly stunned.
Soma, on the other hand, stared at the fallen corpse with an incredibly calm expression.
Over the years, although he didn't care about the affairs of the familia, it didn't mean he was oblivious.
Thinking about it now, the deterioration of the familia to this extent was undoubtedly credited to Zanis.
After all, with his mere Level 2 strength, he couldn't allow anyone surpassing him or threatening his position.
"In my familia, killing my familia captain. Don't you think you're too presumptuous? This isn't your Loki Familia."
"Huh? What do you want to do? God Soma, how about we start a war game?"
In an instant, everyone, including the clueless Bell, Ais, Lili, and even Soma, looked at August in disbelief.
At this moment, August felt an extreme sense of pleasure.
In a trance, he saw a world like a paradise.
Here, birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and beautiful women, like closed moons and shy flowers, were playing and frolicking.
Another moment of trance, he was sitting on a huge throne, surrounded by countless beautiful women, making people yearn.
In this place, August was the master of the world. Here, he had everything he wanted.
The thing called 'desire' at this moment was like a floodgate bursting open, unstoppable, continuously expanding and soaring.
"Lord Soma, what do we do?"
Lili looked at August, who was clearly immersed in divine wine, with a worried expression on her face.
"There's no way. This bottle of divine wine is the perfect brew I made for the next denatus. Humans are simply unable to resist it."
"How is that possible?"
Lili, with a sad face, looked at the one who had just saved her.
"It's okay."
"Lady Ais?"
"He'll be fine. No matter what kind of divine wine, he won't be addicted to it."
Ais spoke slowly, revealing absolute trust in August.
"Lady Ais. This is the divine wine that only gods have the qualifications to drink. As a human, he absolutely cannot resist it."
"He's not human."
"Huh?"
This sentence puzzled both Soma and Lili.
As for what happened next, Ais did not say anything more.
August was not human, he was a demon who would undoubtedly surpass everything in the future. She believed that August would not be controlled by this so-called divine wine.
