“So, Jason, what are you going to do now?” Smick Lancher asked in a low voice.

Standing across from him, Jason Todd who was concealed under a thick robe remained silent.

When he heard Smick’s question, Jason lifted his hand up to check himself. Smick stabbing his heart did indeed save his life, but it also pushed him down another abyss of no return.

Jason’s hands were now covered in corpse bruises, he could already feel his body slowly dying and rotting away.

His breathing had stopped, his heart was no longer beating, but he was still alive.

“This place is no longer safe, Negary’s subordinates are looking everywhere for us, we’ve completely lost” Smick’s expression was a bit dazed, although their loss was sudden and inexplicable, a loss was a loss.

“How about you come with me for now? Since you’re still after revenge, I’m sure the Royas Kingdom has a way to deal with your current state” Smick continued.

“I can’t. I’ve lived and survived until now all the sake of vengeance, so I have no issue with the current state of my body” Jason finally replied, he staggered as he stood back up: “There is a certain place I want to go to and obtain the power necessary to take my revenge”

During this raid, he was completely overpowered by the enemy. When they were all fighting Negary, he couldn’t do anything useful at all, so Jason now fully understood just how weak he truly was, and how much he craved to become stronger.

He gave up on the chance to become stronger several years ago because the chances of success were far too low, and failure meant death. For the sake of his vengeance, he gave up on it. But now, he once again sought that strength, also for the sake of his vengeance.

“Please give me a Hans beast, I need to get to a certain place before I thoroughly rot away” Jason said seriously.

“No problem” Smick replied. He was feeling a bit guilty about turning Jason into his current state, as he glanced at his cutlass, a golden gleam appeared in his eyes as his gaze became blank for a brief moment.

On the other side, Luen Donner had already found the recovered Rivers and informed him of the terrible news: Myerson betrayed them, Cardinal Augustin and everyone else lost their lives, they were the only people left from the reinforcement sent from the Church of Divine Grace.

“Find Isabella and her daughter, we need to quickly return to Interkam, we have to find a way to contain that Evil Spirit Negary!” Luen’s expression was full of sorrow, this ordeal would probably affect him for the rest of his life: “Where is Grosk?”

“I’m not sure, I was already here when I woke up” Rivers replied in a solemn tone.

“Come with me, Negary’s subordinates are using the excuse of searching for fugitives to clean up all the forces in Reystromia, if we don’t leave now, we won’t ever be able to” Grosk ran in right at this moment: “Isabella and her daughter… are at my place”

Grosk brought the two of them to his secret hideout, where a carriage had already been arranged. Isabella and her daughter were already on the carriage, waiting for them. Afterwards, Grosk ordered a few guards to escort them out of Reya while he remained by himself, saying that he had something else to take care of.

As he watched the carriage leave, Grosk sighed deeply in relief. From the shadows behind him, Yadley who had scales growing on his face appeared with a twisted smile: “Well done, Grosk, you made the right choice”

“The tentacle growing in your chest will stay there. Don’t worry, I won’t take your life, as long as you know to keep your mouth shut” Yadley said as he looked in the direction of the departing carriage with a pondering look on his face.

Originally, Lord Negary kept Nala so close that he wouldn’t let anyone touch her. Yet he’s purposely letting the Church of Divine Grace take Nala away right now. They’re probably not going to have a single day of peace from now on.
