Chapter 58: HIATUS

Karcel hissed from his throne. He previously lost Dark Surrender, and now another four of his Malignants added to the list. The Demon Wizard could no longer sense their life force.

"Curses! How could those four fail from a simple mission?" Karcel said. He stomped his staff.

Then two silhouettes bowed before him. One was thin, and the other was portly.

"Allow us to finish the mission, My Lord," said the portly one. His waistline wiggled with its every breath.

"Hm. I cannot afford any failure on this one, Empty Stomach!" Karcel said.

"You have nothing to worry, My Lord," Empty Stomach said. "Dead Dreamer and I work well; you know that. And the others are too busy for this mission. It would be an overkill. Please let us serve you."

"Very well. Find them. Start your search at Lazybones and learn what had killed the four!" Karcel said. And the two shadows vanished before him.

...

Empty Stomach and Dead Dreamer reappeared on the ruined walls of Lazybones.
