The Demon’s Menu

"In fact, it’s not just a ’shelter,’ we..."

"Cough cough!"

"Let’s hurry and leave."

"It’s not safe here."

Scott interrupted Rexus’s words.

This member of the Holy Serpent Society, his hair graying, did not want Kuya to know too much about the grim and shadowy matters, although they had always been present.

Rexus rolled his eyes.

But he didn’t say much more.

He, was thinking about his game console.

The three of them quickened their pace, and as they passed by the ruins, Kuya couldn’t help but ask.

"You guys think ’Claw’ 13 will be alright, right?"

Since their last ’date,’ she hadn’t seen ’Claw’ 13.

And now, Ang City’s main battlefield, facing those anomalies, was the Night Owl Court.

She was very concerned.

"Don’t worry."

"Your guy is not..."

"Cough cough."

"’Claw’ 13 is very strong. There’s no need to worry."

"We’re all managing, and he’s much stronger than I am, so naturally, there’s no need to worry."

Rexus coughed slightly to interrupt Scott.

By now, both he and Scott had confirmed that the Masked Man should indeed be Claw.NO13.

Manager Haro must know as well.

But Haro hadn’t informed Kuya, obviously he had some plans in mind.

They wouldn’t say too much.

Even for the sake of the peace they were enjoying now.

After all, Haro had more say over his daughter than they did.

They just hoped Kuya wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

Rexus was wishing so.

In fact, mentioning Jason, praising Jason, was too easy to divert Kuya’s attention.

"Of course!"

Kuya lifted her head high and strode forward confidently.

So easy to deceive!

Rexus and Scott exchanged looks, sharing silent communication.

Soon, the gray-haired Scott began to murmur a prayer under his breath.

"I hope the club is not destroyed."

"I hope all the ladies I know are safe."

"I hope... everything will pass!"

Rexus glanced at his partner, saying nothing more.

Everything will pass!

After all, this was Ang City, protected for a thousand years by the Night Owl Court.

There surely wouldn’t be a problem!

He was convinced of it.

...

Click, click!

Amidst the rapid descent of the elevator, Edmund had gradually become accustomed to his weakness.

He didn’t have extraordinary recovery powers.

He could only adapt.

Fortunately, up to now, he had adapted quite well.

He hoped it would be the same shortly!

Ding!

The elevator reached the floor, and the moment the doors opened, Edmund heard—

’Not only do you eat my flesh, but you also insult my intelligence!’

’I’ll make sure you have no grave to rest in!’

Without hesitation, Edmund raised his voice to stop them.

But, it was too late.

Just as the words left his mouth.

Squeak, squeak.

A grating noise suddenly sounded.

In everyone’s mind, an image of a door being pushed open emerged.

It was a set of double doors, ancient, slightly worn, made of solid wood, with both halves of the doors and the frame made of wood in the same color. The top halves of the doors, after a square engraving decoration, were square wooden lattices, presumably inset with colorful glass, but at that moment, were just a dull gray. ɌÄΝꝊBƐS̈

Not only was the glass gray.

Even the double doors themselves were dim.

It was like a scene from a black and white television.

And at that moment, a large lizard was standing in front of the door.

It pushed open the double doors with force.

Then, it teleported away again.

And behind the door...

Groups of ferocious monsters appeared.

They seemed to be carved from the same mold, 1.8 meters tall, with indistinct humanoid shapes, entirely pitch black.

Upon their appearance, they swarmed towards Jason, the closest to them.

Facing the tide of monsters, Jason took in a deep breath, feeling a certain force within him awakening.

The emergence of this force could only mean one thing—

Dawn had arrived!
