@Succubewbs we all know the mc is going to kick that demon's ass , it would be better to start the next chapter with the mc walking out of the portal so we can avoid wasting lots of pages on a predictable fight and make progress on the main plot
He was a mercewhat? Georg or whatever is called was a war god who fell and became a demon. At least thats how it was in the novel and in previous chapters it was already said that he is a Fallen King (a fallen god). So mercenary my ass.
Author forcefully tries to make MC's friends to look trustworthy as to not given any credibility to demons. Issue is that when you think about past actions of his friends, barely any would deserve to live.
