Chapter 432: The Vice-Head [1]
'My eyes failed to track his movements…' Shin whispered to himself in disbelief. Despite his unwavering gaze, he hadn't blinked, yet the Head had vanished from his seat and materialized before Krone, swift as a shadow in the night.
'How fast…' He stood there, rendered speechless, unable to articulate the extraordinary swiftness demonstrated by the Head a second ago.
"Ple-"
'Please, forgive me,' desperate and unable to articulate his plea, Krone's voice reduced to a mere whisper. With a silent invocation, he reached out through the realms of telepathy, invading the recesses of his master's mind - Delka.
Regrettably, Delka remained ominously silent, paralyzed by his own fear and self-preservation.
Delka could not fathom risking his own life to save his subordinate. The overwhelming desire to see another day eclipsed any semblance of empathy or bravery within him.
