âCan you use Black Demon Palm now?â
âOf course!â
âGreat!â
Soon, two of the Grim familyâs guards escorted a disheveled prisoner into the hall.
âKneel!â
The guard kicked the back of the prisonerâs knees, causing the prisoner to kneel on the ground.
Then, the two guards knelt on the ground and said respectfully,â Greetings, Lord Derry. Greetings, Elders.â
âYou may rise. We donât need you here anymore, so youâre dismissed,â Derry said.
âYes, Lord Derry.â
The guards left the hall after saying that.
At this moment, Lucifer knew it was his time to shine. He stood up and walked behind the prisoner.
When the prisoner saw someone walking toward him, he struggled with all his might. However, his mouth was taped over, and he could not speak.
Lucifer pressed down on the prisoner with his left hand and used his right hand to use Black Demon Palm. Black smoke was circling his right hand at this moment.
Then, he pressed his right palm on the prisonerâs back.
Everyone on the scene watched the prisoner.
When the Black Demon Poison made contact with the prisoner, it penetrated his body.
The prisoner felt intense pain overwhelming him. He widened his eyes, and they were bloodshot. Since his mouth was taped over, he could only make grunting noises from his throat.
The prisoner fell on the ground headâfirst and died more than ten seconds later.
He could not resist Luciferâs Black Demon Palm with his current strength at all.
Derry got up and walked to the prisoner. Then, he flipped the prisoner over with his foot.
Black poison was traveling under the prisonerâs exposed skin, including in his face and hands.
Black Demon Poison!
This meant Luciferâs Black Demon Palm was fine.
Then, there was only the second possibility.
The Elrod family did indeed find a flaw in Black Demon Palm, and they could easily resist Black Demon Poison.
They had to tell the grandmasters immediately.
Derry lifted his head to look at the core elders of the family.
âLuciferâs Black Demon Palm is fine, meaning the Elrod family found the flaw in Black Demon Palm.
This means we have lost an important combat skill against the Elrod family.â
Every core elder of the family showed an understanding expression.
âLord Derry, what should we do now? The Elrod family must also know that their secret has been exposed. They might even attack us soon. If not, they wonât be a threat to us when we finally find a way to combat this.â
âI think itâs possible too! Right now, we should immediately tell the grandmaster about this so we can be prepared when the Elrod family attacks us.â
âI agree!â
âI agree!â
The rest of the core elders expressed their opinions.
âLucifer, you should go see the grandmasters with me right now. The rest of you should go back to your positions and get ready. At the same time, get the spies to keep an eye on the Elrod family.
Immediately report to us if they do anything,â Derry said.
âYes, Lord Derry!â
âYes, Grandpa!â
Derry then brought Lucifer to see the grandmasters.
The rest of the core elders nervously prepared themselves.
They did not know that the Elrod family would not come. Instead, they would welcome someone on the same level as the emperor.
Davidâs Octagon was getting closer and closer to Planet Grim.
Soon, this person equivalent to the emperor would descend on Planet Grim.
It would depend on Davidâs mood if he wiped out the Grim family or spared them.
