Zarek stood there in silence, not reacting to Eliz's words at all. However, that didn't mean Urouge would be the same.
"Eliz, dear, Eliz… There's no need for such cruel words. We're in this together, are we not?"
"Are you trying to say I need to work with you to take down this ant? If you've grown so weak, it sounds like your start phase didn't go as well as you hoped."
Zarek continued to listen, his breathing growing steadier and steadier with every moment of rest he was given.
"How about you attack first and ask questions later? Since you know I'm here, then just act, what's there to worry about? Are you going to waste all the effort I put into getting him this tired?"
Eliz's eyes narrowed. From the start, her gaze on Zarek hadn't left. She was as focused as a person could be on him.
The calmness in Zarek's eyes didn't mean much to her. If he was where she thought he was from, then the odds that he would know her by look alone were minimal.
