Working together with a demon would obviously be highly dangerous. No matter what the plan was, and whether Karwenz was successfully killed or not, it was certain that Sophocles and I would turn on each other in the end and attempt to kill each other.
However, it would be rather regrettable if I refused to cooperate with Sophocles. He had accurate information about Karwenz, it seemed. Such information was what I needed more than anything right now.
As I hesitated, a gigantic claw suddenly swiped at me from the sky in a sudden sneak attack.
Unfortunately for Sophocles, he only smashed a slime clone into pieces. He had only attacked with a shadow, not his true body, which hadn't even moved.
From the very beginning, neither of us had been discussing at the table with our true bodies.
