Ryder was starting to get stressed as one of the strongest demons were staring at him.

He took a deep breath as he calmed his mind and stood up.

He walked to the center and gazed at High Duke Magna without looking the least bit intimidated.

"I must say, When I was told that the High Dukes were the strongest beings after my master, I expected a lot. But looking at you all, I can see how big the gap between the first and second is," Ryder let out in a disappointed tone.

The faces of everyone present in the hall changed due to shock. They couldn't believe that a kid was talking like that, but then again, he was the disciple of the Emperor. It would be strange if he didn't have an attitude.

"We understand that we are nothing in front of His Majesty. We wouldn't even dare to compare ourselves with him. But that's a different matter. Show us the proof if you have any," High Duke Mila answered instead.

"Sigh, I guess you wouldn't believe me otherwise. Let me show you a gift I received from my Master," Ryder said with a smile.

He opened his storage space, but the others couldn't see it. They just saw him moving his fingers strangely in mid-air.

Ryder brought the Moon Scythe out of his storage space. His single action managed to stun everyone multiple times.

Almost everyone in the hall stood up in shock.

"T-that's..."

"The Moon Scythe,"

"His Majesty's personal weapon,"

"I can feel the strength of the Scythe. It's not fake!"

All the High Dukes started talking as they looked at Ryder with their eyes wide open.

"Not just that, He also used space magic!" High Duke Oris said.

He knew about the Scythe, but it was the first time he found out that Ryder could use space magic as well.

"Only the strongest of demons can learn to use space magic for storage of items. How can this boy learn it?"High Duke Magna asked.

"I heard that some humans in the Outside world could learn it as well. He might just be talented when it comes to that," High Duke Oris said.

"I guess it's decided. He is the real disciple of His Majesty," He further said.

"I still don't believe it!" Someone called out suddenly.

All the High Dukes looked towards the person that had spoken.

"Wuxin? Do you have something to say?" High Duke Magna asked as he looked towards the man standing near them.

The man looked like he was in his early 30s. He had flaming red hair and a sharply chiseled face that made him look quite charming.

He looked mostly like a normal human except for his long elf-like ears. He was said to be the strongest amongst all the Dukes.

"I don't believe the claims of this boy!" Duke Wuxin said.

"Why not? Are you saying that he was able to steal the Scythe of His Majesty? You know that a person can't even touch a Scythe without His Majesty's permission!" Duke Devilia said sarcastically.

"I'm not talking to you, Devilia. So you better stay silent," Duke Wuxin said.

"I would like to ask the same thing as Devilia. Why do you think he's lying? Why was he able to touch the Scythe?" High Duke Oris asked with a slight smile.

"Respectable High Duke, As much as I wish to believe that His Majesty is alive, this boy's existence makes me doubt that. You know that His Majesty loved the Demon Race since he himself was one of us. I don't believe that he would choose a human to be his disciple or successor!" Duke Wuxin exclaimed.

"As for him being able to touch the Scythe, That might be possible if His Majesty had died. In fact, I believe that anyone can touch the Scythe now!" He further continued.

His words made the others think. Some were even able to find the logic in the words of Duke Wuxin, the more they thought about it.

Most of them looked at Ryder with a doubt.

"I'll prove that to everyone right now!" Duke Wuxin said in a loud voice as he stepped towards Ryder.

Not a single person tried to stop him. Devilia wanted to go there, but she noticed Duke Oris, who was shaking his head as if telling her to not get involved.

Ryder was somewhat shocked as he saw a Duke coming towards him, but he had no choice but to act brave till the end. He didn't take a step back.

Duke Wuxin stopped right before Ryder and extended his hands towards the Scythe.

He caught the Scythe and took it off of Ryder's hands.

"See? Nothing happened to me! I was right!" Duke Wuxin said proudly, but right at that moment, his expressions changed as he felt an extremely unstable force near him.

Before he could react, A powerful energy blast happened near Duke Wuxin, and he was blasted backward.

He flew away like a broken kite and crashed on the wall.

His handsome face now looked burnt as he lay near the wall.

Ryder couldn't believe what just happened. The scythe harmed the Duke on its own?

'I guess I really underestimated you,' Ryder thought with an amused smile on his face.

Ryder stepped forward and picked up the Scythe that was lying on the ground near him.

"I guess you deserved that for calling My Master dead. You should be glad that he isn't here to hear your statement," Ryder let out as he glared at Duke Wuxin.

The others just stood still as they wondered what to speak. The things that happened here today kept shocking them one after the other.

They were also ashamed that they came under the influence of Duke Wuxin and let him do it.

High Duke Oris finally opened his mouth to say something, but Ryder spoke first.

"I should probably clear your other misunderstanding as well. I'm not a human! I'm a pure demon!" Ryder let out loudly.
