Everyone was taken aback because Old Gary mentioned a taboo term, which is demon.
"Is it really a demon?"
Leo Ray took a deep breath, his gaze growing more intense.
This term, although he had heard it long ago in the Human Domain and had even been called the Shadow Lord, he actually didn't know what a demon specifically referred to at the time.
Only after defeating the Malevolent Deity's Chosen Son and further researching the Silver Moon Era did he learn that demons, like the Chosen Son, were the retainers of the Evil Gods.
Back when the Evil Gods were enticing and corroding the Ten Thousand Clans, demons were the Evil Gods' competent assistants and vanguard, practically their right-hand men.
While the Malevolent Deity's Chosen Sons are indeed claws of the Evil Gods, they are mainly driven by demons and cannot confront the Evil Gods directly.
