Confronting The Boulder

Shi and Hyunsuk tightened their hold on Lith's arms holding them. They were being hugged from behind and dragged away.

Dennis was in the mix too and was dumbfounded. He did not need rescuing, so why was the Prince holding him?

Your Highness I can face the boulder, it's just a rock! Dennis wanted to scream, but his vampire instincts didn't allow him to refute his Prince.

Lith could feel his two disciples' panic, but there was no time to comfort them.

The boulder was bad news. It was even worse than the mantis as there were a few dangerous runes Lith could feel on it.

Lith did not have much idea about runes and his knowledge was limited, but his instincts were never wrong and facing it head-on was asking to be killed.

Lith did not want to resurrect back home. That would be too shameful and he would become a laughing stock.

Not to mention, he would be the first among the two siblings to have died! This would take a big hit to his pride!
