Morgrimm's eyes darted as he sensed Azazel's gaze on him.
In an instant, their eyes locked, and the kid grinned, sending a chill through Morgrimm's core.
Long ago, thousands of years past, Obsidian X and his seven Warlords traversed their village to eliminate a threat that had afflicted the villagers with a deadly plague.
Back then, Morgrimm was just a little boy unfamiliar with the monarch. While everyone knelt, offering reverence to the Demon King, Morgrimm stood his ground, staring intently.
During that moment, Obsidian X noticed him, and the Elders and villagers all prostrated themselves, begging the king and warlords for forgiveness due to Morgrimm's insolence.
However, Obsidian X merely stared at them before grinning at him.
Yes . . . a grin that, although thousands of years had passed, could still shake his very core till now.
