Chapter 172: The Foreshadowing
The moment the being uttered those words, Zafira lunged forward, nearly toppling over.
It seemed like it had unfrozen her time, and instead of attacking the being again, Zafira took a deep breath, walked toward one of the throne room pillars, and sat against it.
“So what now?” Zafira asked, throwing her sword across the room as she glared at the being. “You told me to kill them, so I did. When are you going to finally fulfill your end of the bargain?”
“You should know better than that, Zafira Sutekh,” the being said as it leaned back in her throne. “You were given the quest to eliminate a few low-level factions. So tell me, do you think it’s an equal exchange from my position?”
“You made the promise,” Zafira said with a frown. “If I deal with all your problems on this continent, you’ll bring him back.”
“And I already told you, I couldn’t find him anywhere,” the being replied. “He’s neither dead nor alive. He’s somewhere, and also nowhere.”
Before she could protest, the being raised its arm, freezing her time again.
“Now, onto the other matters…” the being trailed off and stood up from the throne before slowly approaching her. “I believe I’ve tasked you with eliminating a few merchants and rulers, yes?”
Since she was frozen, she couldn’t reply, only glare at the being in her immobilized state.
Still, the being had more things to say.
“Just because your mama and papa happen to be the ones on the list doesn’t give you an excuse to disobey my quests,” the being added coldly. “You and the players are all the same. But at least their shells provide sufficient nourishment for us. You, on the other hand? You’re a loose end.”
