Chapter 504 - Volume 3

Dilferi turned his gaze away from them and looked at Brendel. Under the moonlight, he seems to be in deep thought, and he pointed out, “You seem to recognize them.”
Brendel did not want to reveal his identity, and he just took off the mask and revealed a mysterious smiling face.
“Hmph!” Dilferi snorted. He looked at the mess beside him, at the remains of the manor. “Anyhow, I do have to thank you all. As a count, I will not go back on my word. But Marsha is looking upon us, so I believe you all will remember your promise as well.”
“I promise I will not bring you all into my troubles. Don’t worry about it,” Brendel reassured the boy count.
“Who are you guys up against?” Dilferi questioned.
Brendel just smiled.

He looked at it for half a day, and finally suppressed his urges. Curiosity kills the cat. he thought as he put it away into the Dimension Space and decided not to play with it for the time being. After all, with his bad luck, he may actually summon the King of Burning Hells, Arken.
Ferlarn on the side saw his odd reactions and asked, “What is it?”
Brendel answered unwillingly, “A time bomb.”
