Chapter 596: Unholy alliance

In the wake of Derek's transformation, a hushed awe permeated the corridors as he emerged from his chamber, a revitalized figure commanding attention. Kathrine, Mozan, and Todo, who had just parted ways with Derek, turned to witness his unexpected resurgence, their expressions veiled in utter shock.

As Derek strode forth, an air of quiet confidence enveloped him, an enigma shrouded in the aftermath of his drastic metamorphosis. His companions gazed upon him with a mix of disbelief and concern, trying to fathom the inexplicable change that had overcome their leader.

Mozan's discerning gaze honed in on Derek's energy, his frown deepening as realization dawned upon him. He grasped the sacrifice Derek had made, comprehending the cost of his rejuvenation. Before Mozan could voice his concerns, Derek casually waved a hand, preemptively silencing any attempt to question his actions.
