"That explosion just now!!"
Whitman hurriedly turned back to the direction where the eruption of fire was sounding from. This was when Rya had used a fireball.
"Master!" He called but Li Mingwu was far gone. Thus, Whitman was torn between following Li Mingwu or going to the explosion he just heard now.
Both choices had something to do with his extermination goal. He needed to stay with Li Mingwu one way or the other to keep tabs on him but he was also very sure that Eric would be in that direction.
If he went for Eric and Li Mingwu ends up defeating the boss monster of the gate before they can regroup. This was a delicate matter and a tough decision to make.
He sighed and turned back, abandoning Eric.
'I have to keep following Master, I can't lose sight of him' Whitman strengthened his resolve.
But Li Mingwu was standing right in front of him–he was so shocked that he almost fell.
