Chapter 279: Somber Questions

Jahi PoV

With Lady Sker now firmly guarding the ruined fortress, we gathered our supplies and set out for the Capital, where I would be asking a few questions to a few people.

My list was surprisingly short, and consisted of mostly the same question over and over and fucking over again.

Why did we not have more help?

I knew the answer to that though, and it only infuriated me more.

Our 'help' was Nirinia, but the Sariel's had planned for that quite easily.

Not well, but they made a solid attempt.

Leone had told me about what Nirinia had done, since she had watched it in awe.

In mere moments, the woman overdrafted her core and flooded her body with raw mana, amplifying her physical abilities by double, if not nearly triple their normal capabilities, allowing her to out speed a man renowned for his speed.

It was like given a Salamander wings and enlarging its flame sac; at that point, the thing is a Dragon, not a Salamander.
