Chapter 48: The Assault (Part 6)
Gramn and Clard were stunned by what they saw in front of them. There were four people standing there—but one of them had horns.
"What is the meaning of this, Raiga?" Clard hissed, his eyes trembling from both pain and fury. "Are you betraying us?"
Raiga didn’t respond immediately. He lowered his head slightly, then spoke softly, "This isn’t betrayal. This is redemption."
"Redemption?!" Gramn barked. "You’re going to hand us over to those filthy insects?! We’re generals! We’ve protected the demi-humans! Without us, all of you would’ve been dead long ago!"
Raiga knew that. He was truly grateful for what they had done. But he couldn’t allow Chillg City to be destroyed. He would do anything to protect it—even if it meant sacrificing two royal generals.
"I’m sorry, but this is the only way I can protect Chillg," Raiga said gently. "I was too late to realize the Ant Bees have a Demon on their side. Forgive me."
"You..."
Clard clenched his teeth. He tried to stand, but his body was still unstable from the poison of the Twin Venom Slash.
Just as they were about to get up, Tamae suddenly stepped forward, without hesitation. Srak!
"AAARRGHHH!!"
A swift, sharp slash cut through both Gramn’s and Clard’s right wrists in a single move. Blood sprayed out.
