Chapter 44 - The Ark Of Venom (1/2)

”Pardon?” asked Minwoo, raising his eyebrows.

”She killed without mercy, but not without reason,” chimed Raiyen, looking at Ashley in disapproval.

”What reason she had to take so many lives at one go?” questioned Ashley.

Mavislin got behind Ysabeau, hugging her parental figure tightly as she was running away from the humans' gaze.

”Wanna know the truth?” asked Raiyen, with a hint of anger as he folded his arms.

His Aura flared when he stared at the two humans.

”Your kind tried to kill an innocent child. Just because of hearsay.”

”What do you mean?”

”Abigail Esther Noble. The first Mage to be killed by hearsay.”

Baldwin froze as he heard those words coming out from the Time Mage's mouth. Minwoo and Ashley glanced at each other. The name sounded very familiar.

”Yes, she is quite infamous. But we don't side with our kind in that situation,” explained Minwoo.

”Yet your partner over there is fine with killing a child,” said Raiyen, with sass.

”Oi! Doesn't mean that I approve of it!” yelled Minwoo, furrowing his brows.

”I didn't want to kill her...” said Ashley, softly.

”Are my eyes deceiving me? Isn't pointing a gun at a child's head called 'trying to kill her'? Or am I blind when you went trigger happy and started shooting a small child?” asked Raiyen, with venom on his tongue.

”As I said, I only wanted to know if this girl did kill the villagers.”

”By trying to kill her? What kind of logic is that? You sound so dumb...” replied Raiyen, shaking his head in disbelief.

”You could have asked us directly. We would have said yes.”
