Chapter 71
Ignoring the hysterical prisoner, Chraat focused on finding his invisible opponent. “Show yourself! You’ll regret your useless hiding!”

Jack crept back out of Byron’s cell, evaluating the situation and formulating his next move. Seeing that the neurotoxin has started to take effect, he wasn’t in a rush.

Chraat, on the other hand, felt the opposite. He could tell that whatever toxin was now in his bloodstream was quite potent. His high level helped him prolong the effects, but Chraat could feel that it was only a matter of time until the toxin affected more than just a leg.

Forcing himself to act, Chraat struggled to his feet. “Fine, hide all you want. Let’s see what you do when I have my way with her.”

Slivia’s fingers dug into the wooden slats when she saw the troll limping towards her, sniffing in every direction while he did so. She understood that she was the bait to draw Jack out of hiding.

A mix of emotions washed over Jack. There was rage from Chraat’s threat on Slivia, lack of confidence from rushing an overpowering enemy, depression from the thought of what might happen to Slivia, and more that clouded Jack’s mind further.

“Just wait till I’m out of here! I’ll teach you to not threaten a Balt!” Byron threatened after finishing the first potion.
