The Author's POV

Chapter 817

"Help you kill the Pillar Master?"

Jin asked, utterly dumbfounded by Priscilla's words.

Did she want him to die that much?

Although he wasn't fully aware of what a Pillar Master was, just by the name he already had some ideas.

"Is it because I don't want to give you the cigarettes? Does it warrant such hate?"

"That's not it."

Priscilla rolled her eyes.

"I didn't say you should kill the Pillar Master. You're far from strong enough from being able to kill them."

This much was obvious.

Jin was barely in the Duke realm, and she was also stronger than him.

Furthermore, the Pillar Master was someone who had already reached the peak of Prince rank. There was no way he'd even come close to doing any damage to them.

"What I'm counting on is for you to buy some time."

"Huh?"

Jin looked even more dumbfounded. Before he could say anything else, Priscilla pointed at the battle in the distance.

"I don't need you to do anything to the Pillar Master. What I need you to do at the moment is join the battle over there."

Following Priscilla's finger, Jin looked at the battle that was happening on the island.

He caught sight of a few familiar figures, of which was a large orc he had gotten to known quite well in Immorra, and several other thousands of troops.

Brutus.

He was barely holding on at the moment with several Prince ranked demons attacking him from all sides.

At a glance, it was clear that the demons were at an advantage. With the aid of monsters and beasts, it was almost a massacre.

They were just barely holding on at the moment, and the only reason why they were still alive was because of Brutus.

"Join the battle over there and make sure you stall for as long as possible. So long as you don't lose, it'll all be alright "

Frowning, Jin mused for a while.

"What do you get out of this? Last I recall, I don't remember you saying that you want to join Ren's side… You also explicitly said you weren't on our side."

"Yet."

Priscilla cut.

Turning her head to look at Jin, she smiled slyly.

"I'm not on your side yet…"

"What is that supposed to mean?"
