254 THE 9TH HELLGATE

GAVIN was surprised when he saw an adult nine-tailed fox standing guard in front of a Dome covered with a cloud of thick, black smoke. Thus, he couldn't see through the Dome. But he could feel Neoma's divine energy inside.

There was a strong demonic power coming from inside the Dome as well. It was a Mana that he didn't recognize. But it was close to the Devil's dark energy.

[Is Neoma with a demon?]

"Who?"

His thoughts were distracted when all of a sudden, the male nine-tailed fox literally blocked his way. He could feel the young fox's hostility and bloodlust directed at him. But instead of feeling threatened, he actually felt relieved that his daughter had a loyal and reliable knight.

[Moreover, the Silver Foxes are strong.]

He also noticed the emblem on the fox boy's shirt. It was the crest of the White Lion Knights. Then, that must mean that this young fellow was skilled enough to be a knight at such a tender age.
