Chapter 149: LEAVE, ZURI.
Elijah lost around fifty five magic users in the first battle with the royal warriors and only now, he lost another nine magic users.
Magic user was hard to come to, especially in this continent, therefore, losing sixty four of them was a great number for Elijah. It was alarming. They couldn’t lose the magic user anymore, since he needed at least, fifteen magic users to perform the curse on Zuri.
There was one thing that kept bothering Elijah though. The fact that Khaos didn’t do anything to stop Zuri when he could and chose to wait for her to kill nine of the magic users before Rhett and Bryden stopped her, didn’t sit well with Elijah.
There was only one reason for that;
Khaos wanted to reduce the cult’s power.
"That’s nonsense," Rhett said. He frowned when Elijah took him to the side and tell him what he was thinking. "What the reason for him to want to reduce our power? Our power is his power too and he knows that. That’s ridiculous."
"It’s because he doesn’t trust us," Elijah said. "I don’t think he already trusted us."
"Then we need to do more to gain his trust."
And that was the end of the conversation. They stared at the closed door, where Bryden was standing next to it. He was worried, but he couldn’t hear anything from inside, all he could smell was the metallic scent of blood.
