Chapter 294

A stifling silence filled the hall. The leaders of the nations and their aides, and even Cadel himself, were bewildered by the suddenly heated air.

Ku, Kunra. Do you really need to be this upset?

All Cadel wanted was for the summit to go smoothly so everyone could get along and prepare for the Demon War. Not to instill in people the fear of the Scarlet Dragon.

Panicking, he tugged at Kunras collar, but he didnt budge. Cadel looked at the scaly armor suddenly covering his body and knew that Kunras viciousness was about to begin in earnest.

What tightly sealed mouths. Those little mouths, not worth a single scale on this ones body, and theyre tightly sealed more than they look. And that fluffy little head of yours is still standing upright. Why dont you cut it off yourself?

The leaders were still wondering if this insolent and arrogant being was really the Scarlet Dragon, or if it was just some madman somewhere playing the part of the Scarlet Dragon.

Kunra walked over and stood behind one of them. Trey Hembleton, Grand Duke of the Mystic Principality. He whirled around, sensing Kunras presence behind him, but Kunras hand was faster. In one swift motion, Kunra grabbed Trey by the nape of his neck, his fingertips tensing, and his nails growing and curling into claws.

What, what is this?!

This body doesnt like being yelled at. If you want to know whats going on, ask nicely and politely.

What the hell is this. Sir Cadel! Stop this insolent man at once!

The contemplative Trey called out to Cadel, but Cadel was not of any particular significance. Kunra wasnt even his knight in the first place.

Im not sure if Im going to start a fuse by blocking that.

Was it really necessary to kill him? If Kunra could prove the power of the Scarlet Dragon here, Cadel could fulfill his purpose, no matter the process. For that reason, he bowed his head in embarrassment in front of Trey.

And the next moment.

Ugh, kkyagh! Kyaahh!

Lava-red flames erupted from Kunras deformed grip, and Treys flesh began to burn. The leaders faces turned blue as if they hadnt expected Kunra to actually harm them. Treys aide quickly lunged at Kunra, but as soon as he touched Kunras body, his entire body caught fire.

There were horrible screams and the smell of burnt flesh. The air in the room was dozens of times hotter than it had been a moment ago, and sweat poured down the bodies of those who had been overwhelmed by the heat and shock. Of all the reddened faces, the only one still standing was Cadel, clad in his scale armor.

Cadel.

Derek called out to Cadel. His gaze was fixed on Trey and his aide, who were struggling desperately to escape the excruciating pain.

Was that horrific sight in Cadels calculations, and could he bear the consequences? Dereks call had asked those questions, but Cadel could not answer them. He hadnt expected Kunra to take such a radical approach.

There is nothing to talk about with those who do not know their place. If I kill them all, there will be humans to take their place. If I cant talk to them, Ill kill them again. This one is unique, but arent humans countless? Even if I kill them endlessly, they keep coming back, and it just feels so disgusting.

Kunras muffled laughter mingled grotesquely with the infernal scene. The nauseating stench of burning flesh swelled in the hot air. Cadel gagged, reflexively covering his nose and mouth.

Is that crazy *sshole really going to kill him?

Hmm, you dont know what youre talking about.

What would halfling know?

You have to be rough to keep the pesky bastards away.

Kunra, who had even turned toward Cadel, pointed a finger at him.

If this one were benevolent and gracious, there would be those who would approach you and covet my power, but when I rise menacingly as I did just now, they would not dare to seek to possess and control it, and if they did, they would do so cautiously.

Did you have such a deep meaning?

I dont like the look on your face.

Then dont look at it, its interfering with someone elses expression.

It was blatantly disrespectful, but Kunra clicked his tongue lightly instead of reacting in an odd manner as before.

This body has done enough for you. All that remains is for you humans to do with the power I have given you.

What are you going to do in the meantime?

I must fortify the fortress for what belongs to me, and there is no place for humans, so dont think of going there to escape.

Naturally, he wouldnt seek out a mountain to escape. Hed be too busy fighting and solving quests to have time to run away. Lightly dismissing Kunras words, Cadel closed his eyes.

When he returned to the Empire after this summit, he planned to help his subordinates train. Depending on the outcome of the talks, he might be sent out on missions, or he might have to prepare for war. There was still much to do.

I cant afford to think about anything else.

Cadel let out a low sigh as he erased the shimmering look on his face under his closed eyelids.

And two days later.

After more than a day of talks, Dereks initial intentions were realized.

First, nations disperse their forces to explore and secure fragments of the great magic circle.

Secondly, always have a certain number of troops on your captured fragments to keep an eye on the triggering of magic circles.

Third, gather the best magicians and engineers from around the world to investigate the great magic circles methods. Share what you learn immediately.

Finally, the nations form a temporary alliance until the Demon War breaks out and is safely concluded.

The first Demon War Summit ended with the 7 great nations declaring a temporary alliance.
