Bab 2323: Not Enough (Part 1)

Rayne disappeared in a burst of black flames and War returned to Lith's hand right when he was walking in front of Ufyl.

"No last stand? No quips or insults?" The Tiamat asked.

"Why should I?" Ufyl never stopped looking at the shroud and the body it contained. "I'm loyal to the True Queen but I'm no zealot. Today she betrayed our trust. Phloria's and mine. 

"Today I have no reason to fight against you. Just get over with it."

Lith nodded, decapitating Ufyl's seven heads and piercing his heart in one seamless move.

Unlike the others, he made sure the Dragon wouldn't feel fear or pain. Ufyl was bound to feel plenty of that on his own the moment he came out of the rebirth chamber.

Best case scenario, Thrud would demote him for his betrayal and he would become a pariah among her Divine Beasts. Worst case scenario, she would strip Ufyl of his free will and turn him into a puppet. His fate was already sealed.
