Diablo doubted his ears for a moment.

He could not understand what this man in front of him was saying

No, he could understand the words, but he was so angry that he wasn’t able to process them as quickly as he would have otherwise.

After all, for Diablo, lowering his guard even a little could result in him allowing his emotions to run wild.

And he had been holding back. He wanted to know for sure that he hadn’t misheard or misunderstood what had been said…

But the answer he received was enough to blow every bit of reasoning out the window for him.

-The pompous slime who calls himself a Great Demon Lord-

At that moment, Diablo started to consider the ways he would execute Godama.

(Hehehe. It’s been a while since my emotions have been so heavily affected. To anger me like this… This man is rather impressive, in a way…)

The only reason he didn’t act on his urge this very instant, was because he had made a promise to Souei.

Diablo was managing a great feat by restraining himself once again as he began to stand up from his seat.

But in that moment, the floor beneath him disappeared.

Having to hold back this rage that exceeded his own capacity had caused Diablo’s attention to disperse slightly.

Godama smirked.

The floor in front of the chair he was sitting on had disappeared completely.

The table, chairs and the floor under Diablo seemed to be getting sucked into the ground.

This was not an advanced trap such as a magic teleportation trap. It was a simple hole in the ground-a pitfall.

“Ahhhahahaha-ahahahha! This room and the underground pit are ‘Absolute Magic Spaces.’ They are sealed by absolute magic protection, and no magic can be used within them. No matter how strong a demon you might be, you will be much the same as any powerless human once inside! This is the power of human intelligence!!”

Godoma was full of glee as he laughed loudly.

This was his declaration of victory.

As for Diablo, who had fallen to the bottom of the pit, he calmly and lightly landed on his feet.

He could hear the hideous laughter from above, but it only helped in bringing back his sense of calm.

His emotions had already returned to normal, and Diablo found that he was even able to smile now.

“Hehehehe. As a reward for making me angry, I allowed myself to get caught in your trap. Now…”

It was possible for him to react the moment the floor vanished, but he felt that he was in danger of killing Godama out of sheer anger, and so Diablo had jumped into the hole himself.

Now that he was down there, he saw that the space was as large as a school gym.

The ceiling above was about ten meters away.

Diablo could have easily flown back up there, but there was something that bothered him and so he looked at his surroundings.

There was a line of golems that were unfamiliar to him in shape.

They were barebones in design, but he could see that they were quite practical.

A very thick armor of magic steel covered their entire bodies and they had huge bodies that were three meters tall.
