"When I catch him, I'm going to feed the cowardice in him!"
Onyx Orchid's eyes glowed faintly green. His tongue slid across his lips, expression greedy and twisted with anticipation—like he could already taste the delicious fear Thousand Faces would emit.
Ethan rubbed his forehead.
"Okay, fine. Eat whatever you want. Just tell me—where exactly is he?"
"The bottom of the lake in the valley. He turned himself into a stone."
Ethan's eyes narrowed. His mental energy immediately shot toward the next mountain range.
Sure enough, tucked between two jagged ridges lay a small valley lake. The surface was dark, almost ink-black, and the water below it seemed bottomless.
Ethan's mental energy plunged downward.
Twenty meters beneath the surface, lying perfectly still at the bottom—
A flat stone.
"Hidden so far away," Ethan sneered.
"Truly cowardly. Hiding like a mouse."
He did not alert the enemy. He simply withdrew his mental energy, calm and cold.
