Chapter 244: I WILL GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
"Master, are you alright...?" Sabian was trembling in fear to see his master vomit a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely pale. He almost looked like he was on the verge of dying, as he was panting so heavily. "Wh- what should I do? Should I call a healer?"
Yet, Lou glared at him, since he knew a healer would be able to tell that he was a sorcerer. That was the identity he didn’t want to reveal to anyone else.
Seeing that harsh glare, Sabian immediately clamped his mouth shut. He waited for Lou’s order instead of suggesting something that could incur his ire.
The cause of Lou’s condition right now was the backlash of his magic. As a matter of fact, the portal that he created to call for the monsters was reopened again, because Sabian couldn’t close it properly.
That was the reason for the second monster attack.
And what made the merchant speechless was the fact that he couldn’t control his power. The portal drained his magic power and sapped away his strength. If the sorcerer from the palace didn’t find the portal and close it in the nick of time, he would have died by now.
What a tragic death that could be... he could have actually died because of his own plan.
But even now, he couldn’t figure out how the portal turned so strong, as if there was another power that provoked it, but since he was the creator of it, it was his energy that had been sucked away.
His attempt to hasten the King to agree to the research on magical devices that he offered had backfired on himself. He didn’t mean to kill those innocent people.
