Chapter 200: It’s Not Too Late Yet
At Helion Kingdom
"Hah! I knew there was something special about that royal bloodline of Ebodia!!! No wonder the dragon king’s soul chose the prince of Ebodia as its host. He’s just perfect!" Devon beamed with a maniacal laugh.
Abruptly, his expression darkened, and he raised his hand as if he was strangling someone. The sorceress not far from him suddenly floated as she struggled to breathe.
"You incompetent bitch! You took months crafting that spell to cause chaos in Valcrez but looked at what you’ve done!! It all went futile! Not only did you fail in your task, but you’ve also alerted them of the danger coming their way ahead. They’ve gone into complete lockdown! So tell me how to continue from here?!"
"Master, allow me to handle Valcrez, I for one know inch of that kingdom, having grown up there. I have spies planted everywhere and-"
"Zoran! Focus on capturing the damn Prince and that dragon for me! I want the dragon by any means necessary! I want him captured no matter what!" Devon roared, his eyes emanating an ominous glow.
Zoran quickly bowed his head and said, "I understand, Master."
"Please spare me, Master. I will not fail this time. Please give me anoth-" the sorceress pleaded desperately. But her words were cut short by the sickening sound of bones snapping, followed by her body thudding onto the ground.
Zoran’s thoughts were consumed by Dahlia, and he contemplated how he could ensure her safety in Nikolai’s hands without the Demon King finding out. He turned to see the lifeless figure of the sorceress nearby, her body now being dragged away by guards. His own body shivered at the mere notion of Dahlia facing the same fate.
