Chapter 225: Setbacks
BOOOOOM!!!
’NOOOOO!!’ All of a sudden, the chimera’s body exploded. Vritra could only clench his fists as he stood there silently for a few seconds. They were so close to success.
He had planned to keep that soul wraith for a long time, and seeing it explode felt really bad. After a brief silence, Vritra sighed and ordered: ’Dark Knight, Hellmancer... Absorb it.’
Inside the labyrinth, Dark Knight and Hellmancer had already expected this outcome at the last minute.
Upon receiving Vritra’s order, Hellmancer chanted a spell with great difficulty, without pausing the absorption of the demon lord’s energy.
Then all the energy from the Chimera’s body was squeezed back into a tiny core that hovered beside the demon lord’s core, and the two continued to absorb more energy.
’Damnit, that was a good soul wraith and now I am in such a bad mood. Why can’t anything ever go according to plans?’ Vritra cursed internally.
"It’s alright hubby, we are bound to face a few setbacks on our journey. Look at me, I am nothing more than a weak soul now, so there is nothing wrong with losing. We are together, and together we can fight anything." Yasmine spoke, her sweet voice soothing.
’Hmm... Thanks. Though I was aware of the dangers of trying it, seeing the chimera die just made me feel frustrated. I am fine now.’ Vritra said, as he took control of his emotion, his mind becoming calm within moments.
"It is perfectly normal. Why don’t we continue with our plundering to get you in a better mood? We have already taken everything from here, now let’s move on to the next treasury." Yasmine spoke, trying to cheer him up.
His behaviour had great effects on her; she only wanted him to be happy at all times.
Taking a deep breath, Vritra glanced around and saw the whole thing had become empty without even a single potion left.
