Kazaream has not noticed that he has thoroughly stepped onto a landmine.

Now that he has attained power and significant growth, the thought that the majin before Kazaream was a being greater than himself never crossed his mind, not even til the very end.

Footman was lightly slugged by Benimaru, and he was launched all the way to the end of the hall.

And, he lay there not moving one bit.

「Footman, stop playing games. We're gonna massacre all of them.

Get up quickly, and get on with killing Leon's weakling followers!」

Even though Kazaream gave him orders, Footman showed no sign of moving.

「Oi, Footman. What are you playing at? Hurry up and――」

Kazaream went and had a look at Footman in a fit of anger, only to lose all words shortly after.

Footman lay sprawled on the ground showing the white of his eyes along with a bleeding nose, as though the entire ruckus he has been causing was but a lie.

After crashing through a wall and bouncing a few times, his neck was twisted in an impossible angle.

Both his upper and lower front teeth were broken. It is no coincidence, that the teeth caved-in in the shape of a fist.

Some sections of space were fixed too, making said sections unable to regenerate.

Turning his attention to Benimaru, Kazaream clicked his tongue in another fit of anger.

In the hall which turned silent in an instant, one being fleetingly approached Footman.

It was Laplace.

He walked as he ignored Claude and Fran who assumed wary stances with their swords, Laplace stopped beside Footman.

And,

「Nee-san, this looks bad. Our boy Footman, is down and out from thae blow.

Well, he is barely alive though, that Nii-san there probs had nae intention of killing him.」

Laplace said with a 'Oh well' kind of tone, as he lightly shrugged his shoulders.

「What's that? You mean to say Footman was taken out in one hit!?」

Tear the Teardrop shouted out in surprise.

Hearing that her fellow brethren, who was easily tougher than herself, was downed in a single attack, was a way too unreal topic.

「Tear, this ain't gud. Fall back. It's nat a good idea to take those onii-sans lightly.

From my perspective, ye ain't gonna cut it. It would most likely take me ‘n’ our captain, to be able to deal with them somehow....

There's also that pretty demon jou-chan with Demon Lord Leon, th’ odds are stacked against us now.

What's the plan, Nee-san?」

With an easy going tone, Laplace gave Kazaream his analysis of the current situation.

He was hinting at 'If we're gonna retreat, now would be the time'.

Kazaream snorts,

「Laplace, no need to cower that much.

Leon is already in tatters.

Guy's minion too, is at most a demon lord class weakling.

Sure demon nobles are pretty capable among the upper tier demons, but she ain't any better than Tear who is demon lord class herself.
