Zane continued staring at the man chained to the wall.
Caelum's body remained completely still, his eyes, ears, and mouth sealed while the strange needles continued extracting the golden vapor from his body.
"Best friends..."
Zane muttered quietly.
"I thought his best friend was Lucen Merrith."
The demon standing beside Clara remained silent for a moment before finally answering.
"We did have an argument in the past."
Zane turned his eyes toward him.
The demon continued in the same calm voice. "We were young back then. Orphans during the Great Wars. We experienced discrimination from almost every tribe."
His gaze shifted toward Caelum.
"I faced it from humans, elves, dwarves... everyone."
"Caelum and Lucen faced discrimination from elves and dwarves."
He paused.
"But Caelum's response was different from mine."
"He wanted to establish an academy where every species could study together. Humans, demons, elves, dwarves, beastmen... everyone."
