Chapter 1664
“My lord!” First cried out.
The lionesses were behind a hastily built barricade, and they were all tied up and on their knees. Alysia and Titan’s Fall were absent, but Anne and the rest of her church had also been taken as prisoners. The fey had their blades at their throats in a menacing way. My eyes immediately locked on a single person, Kaia.
“Take another step forward, and I’ll kill them! I swear it!” Kaia cried out, her blade held to the neck of Carmine, who looked to be barely standing, half of her face covered in black corruption.
I looked at all of them and then pulled up the menu. I selected all of the red marks and then raised my hand. Several dozen magic arrows appeared in the air. As Kaia saw this, she tightened her grip on her weapon.
“I said s-stop! Stop!” She shouted.
I lifted my hand and snapped. Every arrow was released at once. The arrows weren’t just targeted at the soldiers, but the hostages as well. The panicked Kaia lifted her hand, just managing to counteract the two arrows coming right at her and Carmine. The arrows aimed at the fey struck them. Some of the weaker ones collapsed dead, while the others were pushed back or injured. The arrows aimed at Anne and the others were blocked by a counterspell, and I could see Elaya to the side with her hands outstretched, breathing hard.
Either way, the Fey who had hoped to use hostages to hide behind knew that they weren’t effective. They started scrambling back, nearly entering the same crater dungeon entrance they had trapped the others in a short while earlier.

“Y-you…” Kaia spat. “You’d even let your die. Are you a monster?”
