Valmont's cloak was ripped, revealing his true appearance to the crowd's horror!
His cheeks were covered with scales, just like a regular member of the Scale Lizard race. However, his face was covered in twisted black marks; those who looked at them could feel their scalps tingle and hearts race.
The crowd was in an uproar. Even if they only saw it through their screens, they could feel their spirits being corrupted and hear strange whispers in their ears.
In the military's battle fortress—General Fu Xinglan and the others frowned with grave expressions.
"They look like devil patterns!" General Fu Xinglan said.
"But Valmont is a warrior from the Scale Lizard race. There was nothing unusual about him during the screenings. Was he enchanted by dark apparitions during the competition?" General Habakkuk pondered.
