The young man was now back in the pavilion, the void now absorbed back into the Demon Lord as it had never been cast before. He blinked as he saw the source of all that negativity standing before him with a smile on his face.
It was hard to believe that such a man could come to possess so much. Baek Junghwa was only twenty-two years old, yet you would think he'd lived a whole lifetime just from that energy alone. For the first time, Wooyun saw him in a new light and couldn't help but wonder what he had gone through to end up with such a terrifying power. And a part of him hoped he'd get to know the Demon Lord's past one day.
Until then, he would do everything in his power to make this art his own.
"I see you've made it out," the Demon Lord said, his tone light but his eyes carrying a heaviness Wooyun couldn't quite place. "And in one piece, no less."
