Chapter 7

Dane's mood turned somber when he received the news. The Chameleon wasn't happy.

I tried to comfort him, "There's only one large horde left. If we absorb it before King Blackwood of Fire does, we can go find your Lavender."

He rolled his eyes at me and took the horde out to work. He's really in a hurry!

Absorbing other hordes and subduing capable lieutenants requires strength and time.

Dane had gotten more scars, but he'd also become much tougher.

Estrella and I became the logistics team, taking the chance to gather lots of food and medicine.

Even if we leave later, we could live comfortably within Dane's territory.

As for the grudge with Lavender, I wanted to kill her, but Dane likes her.

If I were to kill her, he'd kill me too. Not worth it.

The latest news is that when we were absorbing the last nearby horde, Lavender, with her tenacious life force, managed to survive.

But what awaited her wasn't better days after the hardship, but a descent into an even deeper hell.
