"————"
Silence.
Deathly quiet.
At this moment, whether it was Shane or the Demon King herself, both were engulfed in an overwhelming silence.
The Demon King was silently waiting for Shane to strike.
Shane could clearly feel a resolve from the Demon King's words and aura.
That resolve was incredibly strong, strong to the point of being beyond doubt.
Shane was certain that if he didn't take action, she would inevitably force him into battle, compelling him to plunge the Holy Sword into her chest, piercing her heart.
Just as the First Generation Brave, his mother, had experienced.
Realizing this, Shane remained silent, allowing the oppressive silence to continue.
Until the Demon King gently raised her head, as if preparing to do something, Shane finally spoke up.
"I want to ask you three questions."
Shane suddenly said these words.
The Demon King halted her intended action and nodded after a while.
"Speak, as long as it's something I can answer, I will."
