Hila rose from his throne, his imposing stature casting a long shadow over the fallen demon. He raised a hand, and the remnants of fire clinging to Olivia's body danced away, seeking refuge in his own demonic essence.
Olivia let out a shaky sigh of relief, the tension leaving her body in waves. She tried to rise, but Hila gently pushed her back down. "Do not exert yourself," he rumbled, his voice deep and resonating. "Tell me everything."
Olivia, still trembling, stammered out a report. "Yes, Your Majesty… I finished the mission… I eliminated the human hero, Sebastian, the seventh strongest."
A flicker of satisfaction crossed Hila's face. Sebastian was a thorn in their side, a constant threat to their plans. His elimination was a significant victory.
"Excellent, But your condition suggests something went wrong. What transpired?"
