Chapter 141: What War Means For Everyone <hr/>

<hr>

The haunting ies of Alea’s bloody corpse, limbs brutally severed and core destroyed, flooded my mind as I stared at the chip in Uto’s left horn

Any for the Vritra had disappeared as I advanced towards Uto

“Was it you?” I asked,with malice as I approached Uto

Sylvie’s concern seeped into my head from behind, but it was no use

Each step forward I took, the self-control that had kept ed out ofVirion froe

“Were you the one that killed Alea?” I went on, taking another step

“What was that, pup?” Uto snapped, his eyes furrowed in ieon that had all of her li,” I clarified, my voice icy “Was it you?”

“Ahh,” the Vritra voiced, his lips curling upward

Just by the tone of his voice, I already knew the answer Taunting Virion and using his granddaughter as fuel was one thing but the fact that he was the one responsible for Alea’s horrible torture and death now gave gravity to his threats

He had to die

“That pretty little elf? What if it was me, brat?” Uto savein front of aze “This is what he wants you to do Don’t let him provoke you”

<hr><hr>

I let out a deep breath Of course I knew Uto was provoking us on purpose—anyone with half a brain could see that As for whether it ith forethought or because he was just that i the bitter taste inCylrit, I asked, “Was there anything else that needed to be discussed? Or was that predictable threat all that you caiven two days to decide,” Cylrit answered callously “If the three royal families of Dicathen have not been offered by then, ill take that as your answer”

I looked back at Virion who had finally gathered himself

“We’ll show ourselves out,” Virion shot with a glare as he casually smoothed over the creases on his robe

As I turned around to leave with Virion and Aldir, Uto’s voice rang frohed chillingly “Almost made me want to not kill her; keep her alive so I could continueher screa faster as I stepped toward the edge of the platforaze as he prepared to lift htning, and wind attribute mana into my palm, I raised my arm and whipped around to face Uto

The thin translucent beaap between the two Vritras, creating a crackling gale in its path As the ray shot past them and into the water, the ocean split from the force of my spell The waves instantly froze over before a current of electricity shattered the ice into shards of sparkling glass

I could see Uto’s expression slowly crumple into that of doubt and shock while even Cylrit’s cold face showed surprise as the shower of ice shards rained down on us

“Whether or not we decide to go forth with the war, I really hope to ain, Uto” I turned back around as the shadowy platfor on convulsed

As Aldir lifted Virion, Sylvie and e to turn back around Staring at Virion’s face, lined orry and frustration, I could tell he was thinking about the Vritra’s words

“You’re not really considering their offer, right?” I asked as we ascended above the clouds

<hr>

“No, but if they were to keep true to their word, iine how many innocent lives will be saved,” Virion said, the creases between his brows thickening

I couldn’t help but scoff “That’s a big if to be sacrificing you and your faht,” Aldir chimed in “You knohat becomes of the world under the Vritra’s rule Even Epheotus won’t be safe frorona is able to populate two continents with races enerations before they strike against the rest of the asuras as well”

“I know,” Virion sighed “I’ forward to the protests that’ll undoubtedly for to tell everyone?” I asked, surprised

Tess’s grandfather nodded soleained yet so easily lost It’s necessary for the leader to be trusted by his people but howthat I’ token?”
