Chapter 522: RESTLESS NIGHT
Iris’ mind was plagued with the thoughts of the possibility of Cane dying once the lycan left him. It scared her so much more than anything and she was unable to think clearly.
’Do you think I will stand a chance in a direct battle with a dark sorcerer without the lycan’s power like what happened in the mountains?’
The answer was an immediate no. It was proven that Zeke and Cyan were Decratic’s worshippers and both of them were mind controllers. How was one supposed to fight someone who could mess up their mind?
If Iris calmed down enough to think about the matter thoroughly, she would have realized what Cane said was true. The best chance they had to fight them was by using the lycan’s power and exploring more of what this cursed creature could do.
But then, this decision was a double edged sword, since the world was not such a welcoming place for a cursed creature like Lu.
Once people knew about it, all hell would break loose. It was still a wonder why Cyan didn’t start spreading any rumors about the relation between Cane and the lycan. Their best guess was that she didn’t want to expose herself even more as the dark witch, especially with the entourage of the Holy Kingdom on their way here.
Adding that to the untimely death of the King during the onslaught, they didn’t have enough power to back them up, along with the shift of power started in the capital city with Koda demanding the throne for his great grandson.
The rumors about Lady Cyan had started to spread, Cane helped as well with this, but with the fierce war that was happening, the impact was not as dramatic as he wanted it to be, as the public attention was divided.
After all, it was just a rumor...
"What if..." Iris trembled with the thought that Cane was so close to death when Zeke tried to get the lycan out of him. If he succeeded then...
"Iris." Cane had to shake her body to stop her from sliding deep into those horrendous thoughts, which could scare herself even more. "It’s not that easy to extract the lycan from me, Iris. Zeke can do it, but it doesn’t mean he has the power to go through with it, as long as the lycan is not willing. I swear to you, the lycan will not leave me, even if I want to get rid of it."
