Chapter 67: Who Is The Monster?
Sellene was quiet for a few seconds. She did not respond to what Cail was saying.
Seeing that she seemed to be contemplating, Cail didn’t push further. He knew how to give space, he also knew that human desire is endless. He knew that this lady would probably choose freedom.
Based on his observation, her bottom line is not harming her father.
"What harm could there be from seeking freedom?" Cail said, "Independence starts from simple steps. You can use this as a bargaining chip."
Sellene remained silent. But Cail knew she was listening. Every time he spoke a word that struck her, her breathing would halt for a bit.
They were in this heavy atmosphere for a while, before the orb that was in Sellene’s hand glowed.
Cail backed away almost immediately. A while ago, he was still muttering about helping her or something, now that there was danger, he was the first one to step back.
Sellene was taken aback at first, but true to her ability, she immediately froze the orb in her hand before throwing it far. She didn’t notice Cail immediately ditching her as her attention was on the orb.
The orb wasn’t damaged by the ice. It glowed blood-red, illuminating the dim underground mine.
Cail narrowed his eyes and Sellene assumed a fighting posture. Just as they thought it was some kind of bomb, a voice sounded from the device.
[Hello? Can you hear me? If you are listening to this message, it means that our world is already eaten by the void.] The voice was somber and weak. Cail could sense exhaustion from it.
