The Daily Life of the Demon King

Chapter 286 - 286: The Gothic Reaper Rory

Only when Alex disappeared from the deck, casually slinging the girl over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, did everyone finally snap out of their shock. The mere fact that he had found her inside the belly of a giant Kraken—the very creature that had dragged him underwater—was already unbelievable.
