1140 Kneeling

The next few weeks were a blur, but to keep up appearances, Dyon couldn't allow them to escape so easily, nor could he allow them to leave without casualties. Plus, Dyon had no intention of letting them keep treasures he saw as his own. Since they had revealed the existence of the formation cores, they could forget about leaving with them.

In the end, Dyon forced them into a corner where they had no choice but to decide between the formation cores and their lives. And, like the smart individual he knew Prince Nova was, he made the right decision in discarding them.

As a thank you, Dyon gave them injuries that would leave them bedridden for months.
