Chapter 752 Abandonment

- While Blood Lily was in Muspelheim -

Og'tharoz, with Fryft in his arms, stared at Belial with a serene expression. The tension on the battlefield was palpable.

"Can you stand?" Og'tharoz asked Fryft, but she immediately denied it with her head.

Surprise and, at the same time, recognition filled Belial's eyes. It was clear that Og'tharoz's presence would not go unnoticed by the most powerful demon in Muspelheim. The shadow of the past emerged in front of everyone, and the shock on Belial's face turned into an expression of fury.

Then Belial raised his left hand, engulfing it in flames, and his gaze fixed on Og'tharoz. A wrinkle of perplexity was stamped on his complexion, as if something within his memory had suddenly emerged. It was then that he uttered the words that echoed with a menacing tone.

"Well, well, if it isn't the demon Og'tharoz, the most insolent superior demon that ever lived, who dared to leave Hell. He abandoned the heat of the eternal flames, and now he dares to intervene in our affairs?"

Og'tharoz didn't back down. Holding Fryft in his arms, he stood and replied calmly:

"I have chosen to follow a different path, to seek more than an existence from eternal suffering." n--o.(v)/e).l/.b.-1()n

Belial snarled, the black flames in his hand intensifying: "You are a traitor, Og'tharoz! Your destiny is to burn in the depths of the Abyss for all eternity. You are one marked by the Abyss."

Og'tharoz remained silent for a moment, holding Belial's gaze with a calm that bordered on indifference. It was Fryft who broke the tense silence, whispering:

Og'tharoz raised his eyes to Belial. His serene expression remained and he said:

"Finding freedom is not weakness, boy. It's a hunger I've always felt and the first chance I got, I grabbed it. I bet you've learned that there's no defense against the black flames, but deep down things aren't so simple."

Og'tharoz's words resounded across the battlefield like a defiant declaration. Belial, still stunned by the apparent nullification of his black flames, gritted his teeth in anger.

"Your words are nothing but nonsense to me. The freedom you seek is an illusion. In the end, everyone will serve the inevitable fate of bowing to Surtr's divine power. He will be the cause of Ragnarok and his kingdom at the base of Yggdrasil will be the only one to withstand the end of time." Belial retorted, rekindling the black flames in his left hand with even more intensity. "And when Surtr is tired of his responsibilities, I will be by his side to take on the burden of commanding Muspelheim and the other kingdoms!"

Og'tharoz continued to look seriously at the man: "Very well, if you don't want to listen to me, I'll make a point of teaching you with actions. What are you waiting for, come and attack me head on?" He taunted his opponent.
