1110 Deal With The Devil

Varian contemplated hitting Baldur with a surprise chaos power to throw him off balance and teleport back to Hortus for safety but decided to continue the risk. "I know you're strong, at least rank 4, but don't know who are you."

"How.did.you.know?" Baldur's choke grew harder and his eyes shone with killing intent.

Varian's eyes, however, remained abnormally calm.

A broken neck wouldn't kill him. And if things really went south, Hortus would shield a blow or two for him to escape.

A red gem flew out of Baldur's storage ring and its light shone down on Varian.

The red gem was ultra-useful for interrogating Mystics and Famines, which meant it's use was almost everywhere in the Pala Kingdom and even the Genesis Empire.

The only area it'd fail would be against Spirits. But Spirits needed something far more than a small gem.
