章 985: Lightning and Tendrils

<What the…?> Richard was confused, and frankly even scared, because he could swear he felt Erik's voice in his head.

<I have telepathic abilities, Richard. Listen to me now. I will give you a chance; leave the battlefield. I can't keep fighting like this, and I can't completely unleash my power if I have to keep you safe.>

<If I do, all the attacks will be on you.> It was weird for Richard to talk to Erik this way, but regardless, he had to do it.

<Don't worry. Even if the situation is complicated, this is nothing I can't take care of. But that is only if 122 people fight. The problem is that I can tell that at least 300 blackguards are coming from the base. You must leave regardless.>

[LEVEL UP.]

Erik kept killing during the entire conversation.

Thought-conversations were much faster than normal ones. This whole discussion was happening in a couple of seconds.
