With those words, a powerful pheromone began to swirl around Kaid.

Baon swallowed dry saliva as he saw the crimson pheromone taking shape.

A giant snake in the shape of a black mamba coiled and opened its mouth as if climbing a castle.

It was like the Black Mamba incarnated.

Kaid's red eyes turned to Irene's pheromone stone in the hands of the Artban clan.

"That's unpleasant."

Kaid's voice rang out softly. His lips were twisted in a grim expression.

If poison doesn't work, just break it with force.

The sound of pheromone stones breaking sharply could be heard everywhere.

"I don't remember ever being seen as easy, but I don't know when my clan became so easily judged as to be destroyed by something like that."

Kukukung. Boom!

The outer surface of the Artban Castle began to corrode and collapse.

As if slowly squeezing its prey and swallowing it in one bite, Kaid's pheromone, which took the form of a giant black mamba, was completely destroying the Artban Castle.

The expressions of the Artban clan, who had never wavered until now, cracked for the first time.

"I don't know how long I have to watch these insignificant people from the outskirts causing a fuss over just one territory."

No one was able to make a move against just one person, as they were overwhelmed by the power gap.

Rosaria, who was watching from behind, asked Baon blankly.

He had already retreated with his clan and moved towards Rosaria at Kaid's order to step down.

"...How many people on the continent can materialize their bodies using pheromones?"

"Well, I'm not sure. I've heard from some of the previous heads of the family that it's possible, but..."

I've never actually seen it.

Not only did they not have to step forward themselves, but the mere act of materializing the pheromone itself imposed a time penalty.

Baon didn't say anything out loud.

Instead, he finished off the west and welcomed Set and his party who had just joined the ranks.

"Now you're here. I thought my neck was going to fall off while I was waiting."

"I don't think so. Given the circumstances, I don't think there was any need for me to join."

"No, that's not true. From now on, my lord will go up there. I can't be left out of your heroic tales, right?"

He could tell because he had been by Kaid's side since childhood.

Now Kaid will head to the top of the castle, the ramparts.

And wherever Kaid went, his aide was always there. Baon grinned.

"So I'll leave this place to you two. Durias and Rosaria will assist you."

"Go comfortably and tell me more tales of your exploits, Baon."

The set gestured for them to leave. The moment permission was given, Baon's figure disappeared without a trace.

Arban stuck out his tongue at the sight.

"I thought the elders of this house all just sat at their desks and processed paperwork."
