Chapter 735: Them

"Are you trying to piss me off too? What was that for?" Maxim snapped with an absolutely disgusted look on her face. She was so mad at the sudden lull after Skullius' attack that her Genuine Incarnation collapsed, and she began to take eager steps towards Skullius.

Skullius raised both his hands in surrender.

"Hold on. I had my reasons for killing him. Goes way beyond wanting his Units," he defended himself. "Besides, look on the bright side, you won't have something else to distract you when we take on this high and mighty Mage."

"We?" Maxim snorted, beyond surprised by the audacity.

Clipping away at the tension, a surge of palpable excitement exploded from the third party in their midst, who, much like Maxim was completely unharmed after the devastating showcase. He looked to be minutes away from dragging Skullius off to a dark cave, and dissecting him, given the way he was staring in wonder.
