Chapter 288: Treason If We Fail, Revolution If We Succeed (2)
Even on a battlefield, night fell.
“Ugh...”
Rajis, who had been knocked unconscious after picking a fight with Keter, finally woke up. He tried to stand up right away, but his body didn’t respond the way he wanted.
As his senses returned belatedly, the first thing he felt was the cold. It was winter, so feeling chilly was only natural, but that wasn’t the case for Superhumans. Once one reached that level, one hardly felt heat or cold anymore.
Growl...
Rajis heard an odd sound from his stomach, but he just dismissed it as one of the aftereffects of being beaten up by Keter. After all, he had never experienced hunger in his life. As a child, he’d enjoyed abundant meals, and after becoming Superhuman, he could easily go a week without eating.
However, his biology was honest. As hunger set in, his sense of smell sharpened, and soon an appetizing aroma tickled his nose.
What... is this smell? It’s savory like corn, but there’s a faint sweetness too.
Rajis, who was born into a master family and had tried almost every food in the world, was confused by this unfamiliar scent and by the emptiness in his stomach.
“Hey, that guy’s awake. Go bring him over.”
He heard Keter’s voice. Heavy footsteps approached, and then he was suddenly lifted into the air.
