Villain Ch 1540. Abyssal King Dragon
Allen clenched his fists, the demonic aura around him flickering slightly with his growing annoyance. "I didn't come here to be judged by shadows."
He stepped fully into the center of the room now, boots clicking on the polished floor, cloak fluttering around his legs like a specter.
"I came here for the throne."
A heavy pause followed. Long enough that the heartbeat-pulse of the throne itself seemed to slow.
Then the sharp voice answered, quieter but no less forceful.
"The throne you seek is not empty. It is not abandoned. It waits for the worthy."
"Those who would claim it must prove they are more than ambition, more than power."
The casual voice drawled, amused.
"They must prove they're crazy enough to want it. And stupid enough to fight for it."
The deep, thunderous one finished with chilling finality.
"And if they are neither… they will perish."
The girls fanned out slowly behind Allen, tense but ready.
