Chapitre 199: Beasts Cannot Talk

Before the Guard could even utter another word, Lance had sliced through its neck, blood oozing out of the large wound like a fountain.

"Lance, what the hell?" Elliot gasped. "It talked."

"We've seen this before and I told you then," Lance said with a serious expression. "Humanoid beasts can sometimes utter human language but does not actually talk. They're only able to do that because they have the closest anatomy to us."

"But–"

Lance raised his right hand, stopping Elliot from continuing. "Shh."

The five of them were silent for a few moments, eeriely waiting for something, but they do not know what.

Lance felt something move above them. He pushed Elliot out of the way and brandished his other sword, blocking the spear that was thrown to them. His sword flicked the spear to the ground beside them, the weapon stood upright as it hit the brick floor.
