Chapter 1665
I began my approach once again. Other than the Inquisitor’s labored moaning, it was dead quiet as I approached, my feet crunching on the ground. First and the other lionesses had their heads down, seemingly unmoving. Meanwhile, the Paladins had put themselves defensively around Anne, keeping her from seeing anything. I had backed the remaining fey into a corner. Kaia was on the ground, her back against a wall, still glaring at me hatefully.
“Time to die-”
“Please, Master, you need to stop this now!” A form grabbed onto me.
I shoved Lydia aside. Her pain-wracked body was unable to put up much of a resistance.
“Master, stop.” Shao gave a desperate attack, but I knocked her aside.
My focus was entirely on Kaia. She would die, and then the rest. I took a step forward, and another one got in my way.
“Move.”
“No! I won’t move! I won’t move!”
“Chance, don’t!” One of the lionesses cried out. “We obey our lord.”
Standing in my way was a little girl. Her ears were wilted, and she was shaking, but she stood between me and my prey, her arms outstretched defiantly.
