Iliana blinked once, then said, "Of course, I always say the truth."

Cray slumped his shoulders, and sighed. "Huuh... I am glad we don't lose our friend this soon." He turned to Whitney, then bumped Whitney's chest lightly. "He's still alive, Whitney. Loosen up a little bit."

"He's trapped inside the Dungeon together with a Kinslayer."

Iliana looked at Whitney sceptically. "Hoh? They are real?"

"We would've brought him home with us, if they are not."

Alcott quirked his eyebrow. "What do you mean by that, Iliana?"
