Chapter 113: The Calm Before The Storm
"What do you think?" Rael asked, pressing down on the gas pedal. "She tried playing her games, so I played mine."
"You took away her skill," the Beast stated coldly. "Every single follower she had acquired in the last couple of millennia vanished in the blink of an eye."
Rael scoffed. "Once again, that's not my problem. She should've expected something like this."
"Really?" The Beast leaned in. "Even I didn't expect you to steal an Ancient-ranked skill, and yet here you are, sitting without even batting an eye at such a feat."
"I appreciate the kind words, but I'm more preoccupied thinking about how to deal with Beatrice. I'm sure she'll be enraged, so I'll try to strike while the iron's hot. She might fuck up, after all," Rael added with a smile.
"Well, I suppose this makes the fight more fair," the Beast remarked. "I'm giving control back to Seryn. I shall watch your fight from a different plane."
Just as the Beast was about to leave, however, it offered some parting words.
"Also, the people of the Scorched Lands are sneaking up on Bertha. You can either treat them as convenient allies or as potential enemies. It is all up to you."
With that, the Beast's eyes rolled back, replaced by the blue eyes of Seryn, who immediately fell asleep.
Nonetheless, Rael didn't pay much attention to it. Despite his heart beating violently, he'd already set his mind on going through with this.
Therefore, Rael looked at the road ahead, and the moment he did, he saw a beautiful stone arch, which he swiftly passed through.
He had stationed his constructs a few kilometers away from the last monument, and as for him, he had finally arrived at the second-to-last monument.
