Chapter 33: Delightful news
Black empty eyes with white unsettling iris glared below at the kneeling wizard, the Rogue Lord’s aura weighing on him.
The room was silent. A chilly atmosphere for the powerless wizard. He couldn’t stop himself from shivering, especially his hands. They were on fire, quivering around and giving away his fear to the Rogue lord’s Corvus hidden behind the veils.
But none of them dared to mock him.
The lord hated disturbances more than anything, and he’d take away anyone’s life if they dared bother him whilst he was speaking or doing anything at that.
"So, what is it that you’d like to tell me and the Corvus, Kaos?" The Lord’s icy voice added to the unsettling chill clinging onto the wizard’s body.
He tried to move his lips, but nothing came out. Not even a squeak. The ice disk was still on his throat, blood dripping on its edge after it had sliced a bit of Kaos’s skin. The wizard had never been so happy for devouring poor-quality human flesh and boosting his aura more than he was at that moment.
If he had left half of that woman’s corrupt aura and flesh, he’d be dead meat by now from failing to regenerate his sliced neck on time.
Just then, the Rogue lord slapped his forehead.
"Ah, the ice. Has it filled your lungs already?"
Kaos nodded slowly, and much to his relief, he felt the ice disk slowly retract from his throat. His wound sealed in an instant.
"Heat him."
