221 - Escape (3)

"Julian Haas is wounded. He can't run on his own."

--------------

Riding on top of one of the gigantic creatures was Prince Zayden, who looked down at them like they were a bunch of traitors who sought to flee his kingdom.

"Trying to run?" he asked with the haughtiness of a king.

Julian stared at the humanoid creatures and chuckled.

"Why, I didn't expect to run into such a strong opponent."

A sinister smile crept across Prince Zayden's lips as he raised a hand, his fingers cracking ominously. A ball of energy seemed to coalesce on his palm, visible to the keenest eye.

"This power you've bestowed upon me is nothing short of extraordinary. I like it very much."

"Ah."

"There's only this... constant tremor in my limbs. I would say this is the side effect of LK-92."

"Drug Z," Julian corrected him. "My father's LK-92 is perfect."

Prince Zayden's eyes flashed with fury.
