Chapter 128: Lord Pele (2)

As we all basked in each others warmth, creating a group hug in the back of the large, charred and destroyed room, I had forgotten to check for a system notification, overcome with relief that we had made it out alive.

My muscles were aching, my joints hurt, my head was killing me...

Hah... That was a hard fight...

Thinking that, I opened up the system, only for my eyes to go wide as I realized...

There was NO notification.

Which meant...

Pulling myself free from the group hug, I stared at the 'corpse' of Lord Pele, wondering just how he was still alive.

"Kat?"

Jahi stepped beside me, frowning as she looked between me and Lord Pele.

"What's wrong?"

Biting my lip, I wondered how to explain that I hadn't received any notification that he was dead...

"I don't think... that he's dead..."

Jahi stared at me, before staring at the charred corpse.

"Why do you think that?"
