Chapter 668 – Old Debt
The Abyss Overlord didn't nod.
Didn't breathe.
Just existed.
Like a ledger.
One that didn't forget.
Lux stood tall again.
"But Zoltarin is gone," he said clearly. "His contracts died with him. And any claim tied to his essence has been closed and nullified under both Sin Law and Interrealm Compact."
The creature shifted.
The scroll burned.
Then… new symbols appeared.
[Clause 9A. Blood Inheritance: All unclosed debts revert to next Greed-line male.]
Lux's stomach dropped half a beat.
Even Lullaby exhaled.
"Oh… that's not good."
Lux hissed, "Thanks, sweetheart."
Corvus snorted behind him. "Guess you're a little too good at inheritance."
Lux tilted his head, voice still calm.
"And if I reject the debt?"
The creature finally moved.
Just a single tilt of its hand.
The ground cracked.
The mansion's magical defenses whined.
Infernal glyphs flared to life along the perimeter.
