章 142: 142

"You book doesn't like being separated from you, so you too should stay together," Ikem said as a wave of roots emerged from the ground, covering him entirely.

"Your Highness, wait. We can strike a deal; I know how much your kingdom has benefited from my knowledge. If you let me leave, I can share some of that knowledge with you," Meray said in panic, glancing at the book, which burned brighter.

Meanwhile, Ikem, at the cover of his shield, said nothing. Instead, a circular green shield constructed around the wooden red shield he already had. Just as Meray sent him flying, he received a telepathic message from Bara, not to worry about the book's actions, as there were still pieces of his body left inside the Balor body before it was killed.
