Chapter 731 – The King's Hall
Heat wrapped around them instantly.
The King's Hall wasn't subtle. Lava veins ran through the obsidian pillars. The ceiling arched high with suspended chandeliers made of crystallized soul shards that hummed faintly. Demonic sigils pulsed along the walls like living stock tickers of power.
And at the far end…
Kaelmor.
The Infernal King lounged on his throne like someone mildly inconvenienced by eternity. One leg crossed over the other. Tail lazily swaying. Crown slightly tilted. He looked bored.
Which meant he absolutely was not.
Lux and Zavros shifted into full demonic form instinctively.
Horns curved sharp and polished. Wings folded behind them in disciplined symmetry. Tails low but steady.
They both dropped to one knee.
"Your Majesty," Zavros said smoothly.
"Good morning," Lux added, voice respectful but not weak.
The King's eyes gleamed. "Luxy. Zavry." He grinned. "You're early."
