"Woof!"
Seeing as the Demon King was about to pass him over to the person before them, the black puppy was visibly frightened. Although it had not inherited its memories yet, it was at the early Connate stage and was intelligent enough to sense that the person before them was not a demon.
In the eyes of a demon, humans were aliens.
Although the person carrying it was in human form, his body gave off the aura of a demon, and so he felt safe.
"Little guy."
Seeing as the black puppy was prejudiced against the human before them, the Demon King spoke up gently, using demon language to comfort it.
"Although I'm not sure why this human wants you, he is an extremely talented man. If you follow him, you will receive benefits and not come to harm."
"No... I do not want to follow a human!"
The black puppy panicked. "Humans are all evil; they are the natural enemies of the demons. Some of my friends were killed by humans."
