Chapter 163: Pretending to be a God - Life Altering Moment!!!
Kai let the difference between his and Andrik's status become a wall of silence for a while.
The swarthy mate looked around, taking deep breaths and licking his dry lips. When Kai saw him getting frustrated, noting the boundary of his patience, he tapped on the table, and the mate straightened his back in surprise.
"Andrik," Kai barked. "You have done HIM great service by adhering to my orders in these last few weeks. I dare not speak for the Drowned God, but I can feel it in my heart; HE is pleased with you."
Andrik's breathing was caught in his throat, Kai could tell.
The brown-haired giant humbled himself by emptying the entire mug of wine, wine dripping off the corners of his mouth. He slammed the mug hard on the table and nodded.
No wonder he was named Andrik the Unsmiling, Kai amused himself, sipping his wine.
"And thus, HIS loyal servant, Andrik the Twice-Drowned," he continued, slowly, "this meal isn't an ordinary meal, but a reward. Priestess Shae, serve us the flesh of the Storm God's spawn."
The shudder that had coursed through Andrik shook the entire table. He would have stood up in shock if it wasn't for Kai's tap on his knee. "You remember the roars of our foe that I faced after sending you below the deck, right?" Kai said, distracting Andrik as Meg took two plates of cooked Pokemon meat out of her MRB. "It was a monster sent by the Storm God. But, using the Drowned God's power, I slew the beast. Now, we will feast on its flesh."
Meg put the two huge trays on the table, and aromatic steam entered their nostrils, making their mouths water. At one glance, none could tell if it was regular meat or magical. But Contestants could sense Mana around them, and thus, Kai could feel it, the magic lingering within this cooked flesh, hidden deep.
Kai would have never shared this precious food with anyone, much less needed to be said about Andrik, who was neither a Contestant nor someone he needed to manipulate anymore to gain a favor. He just wanted to see how the magical flesh would affect an ordinary human, or more accurately would be to say, a main storyline Character.
"Don't wait for me," Kai commented and lunged at the meat.
