Villain Ch 1607. Three Ducks
"Congratulations!"
Allen froze.
Not because someone shouted at him—he was used to that. Not because he'd just stepped through the portal leading back into the shadow-wreathed throne room of the Cursed Crypts. Not even because the air had changed.
No.
He froze because three life-sized ducks were standing in front of his throne.
And they were holding sparklers.
Sparklers.
That spewed glitter.
Multicolored, high-density mana glitter.
His brain short-circuited.
One sparkled in gold, the second in neon blue, and the third had apparently modded itself to be covered in holographic heart-shaped confetti that shimmered in the air like a rave gone wrong.
They were also… dancing.
Slowly. With full-body waddle shakes.
And they chanted in terrifying sync.
"Con-gra-tu-la-tions~"
Allen just stood there. In full Devil Emperor regalia.
Silent.
Expression blank.
Behind him, Jane walked through the portal, took one look, and blurted, "Wow."
