Chrysalis

Chapter 1021

[If you’re finished being precious, can we move on to looking at our options?]

Torrina and Corun both nod enthusiastically. The former already has a book and pen in hand, ready to scrawl down every little detail. I might well be the first tier seven ant monster in the history of the Dungeon, and they are not going to miss this chance.

Stupid monster research enthusiasts. Actually, why am I even surprised? They are literally members of a monster-worshipping cult. This is what they live for.

[That’s easy for you to say,] I complain. [I feel like my end-zone is about to meet its end.]

[Well?] Granin is the first to break.

I look up at him, a cruel twinkle in my eye.

[What?]

but Granin looks about the same. As eager as his two apprentices are, he’s easily double the two of them put together. He probably feels like this is the defining moment
