Chapter 942: THE LAST BATTLE (8)
Cane could tell there was something more when it came to Rei. This man full of bullshit and mystery, which unfortunately, it was hard to discover.
"You need to stop this," Rei said. He looked fine now, even though a few second ago he was greatly wounded by Cane. His healing ability was insane. "I am not your enemy. I am here to help you to destroy Decratic. If you kept attacking me, do you think you can do it without me? Look around and you will know."
This time, Rei talked to Cane. He hated the sight of how he put his hand around Iris’s waist. He wanted to cut his hand off. But, he couldn’t do it now. There would be the right time to do so.
"You are still very much alive. Stop whining and tell me what is your plan," Cane replied, he didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy. He acted like what he had done was no more than a slap on the wrist.
Rei looked very upset, but he masked it very well. If that was how Cane wanted to act, he would follow suit.
Right at that time, something white rushed toward them, Rei would have knocked to the side if he didn’t dodge it in time and this big fur ball made a bee line toward Iris.
"Lil Thing!" Iris was happy to see this lazy bear. It seemed, it had gone through rough fight against the monster. It would have covered in blood and dust if it was not for the rain that kept pouring down.
Iris was grateful Lil Thing was alright. She hugged it, while the bear nuzzled her face, wiggling its little, almost non existence, tail.
"We will enter their second fortress," Rei said to get the attention back to him, since from the look of it, no one paid him any mind when this white bear came. "You will not be able to enter the second fortress without my help."
Seeing their current situation, Rei was right. They needed him for his power. They wouldn’t be able to go through these monsters without his power to turn the monster on his side. He controlled them by using illusion.
Meanwhile, if Cane wanted to use the same method, he would need Iris to purify them from dark magic first before he used Lu’s ability to control the monster. But the step where Iris had to purify so many monsters under the black magic that Cane didn’t want to take.
