"I am sure there are plenty of people that would be happy to speak with you. Please go bother them."@@@@
The Scarlet King's smile did not vanish, and just as he was about to speak again, two people got near him. They were a couple formed by an envoy of the Hell Clan envoy and a young Atrox woman.
"Kain, you seem to have found someone that tolerates you. Allow me to introduce my good friend, Marin."
The one who spoke was Simur, the member of the Hell Clan who rebuked the Scarlet King when this one forcefully opened the doors to the dining table. A mocking smile could be seen on his face as he moved his eyes between the Scarlet King and the young Atrox woman while presenting his partner.
"So this is the rude person you were talking about. Well, I guess someone like that is fitting for a crippled."
Marin's voice was loud, and everybody heard her. The way she looked at the woman with the book made it clear this was not their first interaction.
The Atrox with the book was not surprised that something like this could happen. She was not a pushover despite her condition, but before she could say a word, something else happened.
"SLAP!"
A slapping sound echoed across the hall as the Scarlet King slapped Marin, but it was not a simple slap since it had so much strength that he sent the Atrox woman flying to the other side of the room, crashing against a wall.
Silence reigned as the Atroxs and envoys from the Inferno Daemon Empire did not know how to react. Everybody heard Marin's remark toward the other Atrox woman, but for Kain to suddenly slap her with so much strength that it seemed like he would rip her head off was simply too much.
No matter what kind of relationship was between Kain and the young Atrox woman, his behavior was too overbearing.
Simur's coldness grew more intense as his body began to glow with golden light. That was not a reaction from his Essence Wave but merely a response from the Law of Light as he harnessed its power.
In complete contrast, darkness began to spread across the Scarlet King's body as he harnessed the power of the Law of Darkness.
People in the room were surprised that Kain managed to draw the power of the Law of Darkness despite being only an Early Wave Champion. If they were to see the reaction of the Law of Blood, the shock would be so much that they would not even know how to react.
Simur was also surprised, but his eyes narrowed as he flashed forward with overwhelming speed, piercing his sword straight into Kain's chest with incredible skill and momentum. He was confident in his skill, but all that shattered as Kain dodged the sword strike easily.
The Scarlet King's mind and soul had yet to become strong enough to use the Second Level of The Flow, but his mastery over the First Level of the skill, which allowed him to predict the enemy's movement, had grown to the point that it became nearly instinctive.
"¡Boom!"
A small blast echoed across the hall as the Scarlet King hit the handle of the golden sword in Simur's hand, forcing him to drop it before placing Slasher beneath the neck of Simur.
A sense of utter shock spread across the hall as Kain's martial skill was above everybody else. Of course, that did not mean they would lose an actual battle since they have greater cultivation bases, and Essence Cultivators tend to focus on long-range battles, not melee.
Simur understood all that, but the shock that assaulted his heart was too great as he saw the red eyes focused on him and the blade on his neck that seemed ready to sever his head.
The Scarlet King stared at Simur for a moment before his smile widened, and his eyes burst with red light for a fraction of a second, too fast for any of the present to discern it.
"SHHHH!"
