Chapter 37: Fighting the Parasites
"So um... basically, I don’t know. Hey Aurelia, more grapes please!"
"...."
We stared silently at Cecil that finally woke up from his coma.
For a long time, we were waiting for answers about what happened to them, but all we heard was I don’t know!
He wasn’t even taking it seriously! He was just smiling widely in the bed while Aurelia was feeding him.
She was feeling guilty since that incident, so she always stayed behind him and took care of him, but now he was taking advantage of her!
Zorath suddenly smashed his fish in the bed, almost breaking it. "Cecil! Give us the details before I turn you into a half again!"
Cecil flinched before frowning then sighing. "I truly don’t know much. I was waiting for Aurelia for a moment, and the second moment my lower body exploded! No fight. No struggle. No last standing. We got overwhelmed! I just knew from you that Ruby died."
After ending his speech, he simply snapped his fingers to make Aurelia continue feeding him, leaving most of us staring in terror.
There were many possibilities. Maybe they landed on a strange trap. Maybe a special monster. Maybe a traitor.
But we had no way to know. We also didn’t have any time. Everyone outside was making his own preparations for the last fight. Once everyone got ready we would leave immediately.
