A Cowardly Old Man

"I'm perfectly sober," Zakzak replied and wiped his face, "Wittral is the one who asked me to relay this piece of news."

"I never thought that child would also do drugs," The old man wiped his forehead in worry, "These days, even our Deity likes to fool around."

"No, he's pretty much immune to mere drugs. But wait," The old man muttered, scratching his ear, "Maybe he created a new drug that's capable of affecting an Empyrean Snapper? That is a possibility…"

"Leader!" Zakzak raised his voice and brought the old man to his senses, "Wittral received this information from a Brimgan Empire's Free Human woman that he had rescued. He sent me here in hopes of confirming this news as soon as possible."

"If the Boar King truly is weakened, this is the best time to exact revenge for the death of two of our Deities!"

The old man observed Zakzak's fierce expression and sighed, "Ah, the joys of youth."

"To be so naïve, but brimming with energy."
