Chương 93: Blue

Syryn's back was turned to the squid as its blue light slowly faded. Darkness swallowed the final glow that lit up the dark walls of the alleyway.

"We have to contain it, S'ryn," Sebastian spoke as soon as the alchemist reached their hiding spot not too far from where the squid had disappeared.

"Yeah? It's not your job to. You're not a mage hunter."

"Rowan is. He needs to do his job, S'ryn. That thing is a killer. I know you feel sorry for it but we can't let the creature kill another person."

"There's nobody here but us to kill," Syryn replied. "What will the mage hunters do if they catch it?"

Sebastian looked at Rowan. The blond had been tracking the squid's movement while his friends debated.

"It's a single unique specimen of a species never seen before," Rowan told them. "They'll most likely keep it alive."
