[Hey! You’re really too much, even for a demon! I thought you were finally summoning me, but why did it have to be right in front of your father!]
“Uh, sorry, sorry.”
Seongjin could fully understand the Demon King’s bewilderment at being summoned in front of the God’s proxy and trembling in fear.
However, he had his own reasons. Since he couldn’t predict how much demonic energy the Demon King would emit, he couldn’t summon him elsewhere and prepare him in advance.
So, it was better to just go ahead and do it in front of his father and get confirmation that the Demon King was harmless. Even if other clergy members made a fuss about it, his father would surely be a reliable shield for him.
‘Well, I never expected this guy to suddenly start going on about grandfather stuff.’
Still, the Demon King’s reckless move ended up having some effect. After a long silence, the Holy Emperor finally let out a deep sigh and personally placed a divine barrier over the Demon King.
Seongjin couldn’t sense it properly, but it was clear that the intensity of the demonic energy emanating from the Demon King had likely decreased significantly.
And that wasn’t all.
