"War, it seems your strength has improved. To be able to walk freely in the Land of Silent Spirits... Truly, you are the greatest leader of my Nightmare Empire,"
The Nightmare Overlord's voice echoed, drawing both of them back to their past memories. He was clearly trying to play on their emotions.
Although he was certain that the War Demon had no idea of the true circumstances of his imprisonment, as the former ruler of the Nightmare Empire, he knew a thing or two about manipulating people's hearts.
As for Sterl's true feelings... He almost wanted to laugh.
"The elite trapped in the fifth level have already been rescued by me,"
Sterl said indifferently.
At these words, the voice from below suddenly halted.
"What! Good, good! The elites of my Nightmare Empire are still alive! This means that if you and I can escape Eternal Light, we will surely lead the Nightmare Empire to rise again and crush those vile Dream Spirits into dust!"
