Bab 454: Reverting Back

Cain looked down at Dakin's corpse burning, he was still ready to strike back if he woke up and then suddenly.

<Soul fragments: 20 => 120>

It was confirmed, Dakin has died rather quietly. Cain expected at least a struggle or an explosion. Red dragons weren't known to accept death this easily.

'Was he just looking to die and go to his wife? No, dragons don't think like that. Someone must have finished him off, was it the king?' Cain started overthinking it. He might have done something to him, probably wanted to tie some loose ends but what ends?

At that moment, the stinging pain on his side caught him off guard. Cain fell on his knees, "He must have punctured my liver or something, good thing my brains had their own circulatory system or I might have passed out. He used [Telekinesis] to pop a healing potion and drink it.

At least the bleeding stopped so he stood up, Kayden was glaring at him. "You dying?"

"Sadly, not yet," Cain replied.
