"At the moment, we see Azekiel as an enemy, but we forget that he isn't just that. In the situation we are in, he isn't just an enemy but also the key that we need to open the door to the next floor," the old man explained, not knowing if his people were getting what he was trying to say or not.
Barring a few, most of them realized just what the old man was saying. The entire reason they went with this slaughter was because they needed more strength to clear this floor. With the death of one of them, they now had no choice but to take the help of others, and at the moment, Azekiel seemed like the best choice.
"Will he agree to join us?" a chubby King asked, resizing that there were just too many uncertainties. "If he's looking to kill all the kings and work alone, it would be quite hard to convince him. That is if he can even find him. Now that he has killed one of us, I doubt if he'll even be on this Floor. He must've left for the lower floors to avoid being found."
