Chapter 660: Fallen Jinn
The Next Morning
Nine people gathered beneath a large tree, packing the last of their belongings.
"Let the vote begin," Alistair said, raising his voice.
"Those in favor of attacking the Fallen Jinn today—raise your hands."
Six hands went up, including Rowan's. The only ones who abstained were Charles, Nyx, and Alistair.
"Interesting," Alistair remarked, eyeing Nyx.
"You're against attacking today?"
"If we rush in, we'll end up like last time," Nyx said flatly.
"I want you, me, and Charles to face the Fallen Jinn alone first. Let's try using the 'item' you got from the Nightwind Patriarch. Once we have enough intel, we retreat. Then we plan—clean, precise, no heavy losses."
"What do you think, Charles?" Alistair asked, turning toward him.
Charles considered the idea, then said,
"Why not both? We scout first, and then the others join in. Magical beasts can adapt too. The longer we study it, the more it learns about us."
