Chapter 532 - Thirst for knowledge

Captain Don's words seemed to have finally done the trick and awoke Drake from his trance. As the haze cleared up and the fog dispersed from his mind, he looked as if he was just awoken from a deep slumber. 

Listening to the old man's words, the clarity gradually returned to his mind. Hesitantly he nodded at his words, with a nod, he pulled his sword down, and though he kept it unsheathed, it was now lowered, its tip facing the ground.

Seeing that the anger, the rage faded from the boy's look and that his weapon was lowered down, the old man revealed a tired smile, as he did the same and put away his short sword as well.

Next to them, Crone who was still down on the ground meanwhile have completely forgotten his earlier ordeal. The shock of the sudden turn of events made his adrenaline spike, causing him to temporarily ignore the horrible, searing, pulsating painful sensation coming from his shattered, right fist.
