Chapter 613: Vermouth Lionheart (5) [Bonus Image] (Teaser)
Vermouth felt the chain binding his soul tighten. Eventually, he came to understand. His body, which was born as the avatar of Destruction, would perish alongside the Demon King of Destruction.
But Vermouth Lionheart would not perish. His soul was no longer an avatar of Destruction. Originally, his body and soul should have disintegrated along with Destruction, but the contract had bound his soul with chains.

No matter how much he wished, he himself could not bring about a miracle.
"The Demon King of Incarceration,” Vermouth called out.
