Drake had left everyone rather speechless. He not only showed that Zephyr ’s soul was still fine, and even healing back to sanity, but he showed the amazing potential he held.

Of course, he was hiding the fact he had no power over his own Undead unless they were willing, these Undead were being held tight in place due to Kumo within his shadow, which was using her eyes of paralysis to keep them in place. If they were to move, it would be evident they don ’t obey him as they would attack anything on sight…

Well, there was also Benladann, her Charm could charm even Undead and make them obey her, but there was a limit of how many she could charm at the same time consecutively, and each charm costs a substantial amount of Mana, she had also never practiced charming an entire army of Undead before, and it might not work, or even give her a headache or even worse, fever and some sort of mana sickness by overexerting herself, which is something Drake doesn ’t want to because of her delicate soul.

”Hmm… ”

Thaletus thought about it.

He couldn ’t help but feel a bit of a strange sensation besides him.

He felt nervous.

He had already heard what Drake intended to do, and Drake said it in front instead of saving it for later… this meant that he was so confident on himself he allowed himself to say his true intentions form the very beginning.

Can he even win against him?

Without knowing Drake ’s weakness with the Undead he made, he thought he would be ultimately overwhelmed by an army of ice golems created easily out of thin air.

He will not win.

Even if he could manage to poison them, he would still die… and everyone would die too.

But that would be because he wanted to fight and die, not because they came with such an intention.

Meaning that if he fought now, he would be wasting his won life and those of his disciples instead of taking the opportunity to resolve things peacefully.

”…If we join your Empire at the end, can we keep our territory and the name of our sect and bloodline? ” asked Thaletus.

”Yes, you may keep anything you want, even your riches. What I want is simply a share of the resources you will produce in the future, and your alliance in future conflicts. ” Said Drake.

”Hmmm… Very well, you may pass. ” Said Thaletus.
