Chapter 264 Long Time No See
“Eromaug?” Linus repeated back to Allen in shock, “Why do you need to know about him?”
Allen was silent as he studied his face. The look of shock and surprise that shed across his eyes,
followed by the worried expression that flickered across his face told Allen that Linus did indeed know
something about the Daemon Lord. Whether or not it proved useful or not would remain to be seen.
“I’m pleased to see that your time here hasn’t impaired your hearing at least,” Allenmented dryly
as he leaned against the wall casually, “I want to know what you know about him.”
Linus swallowed nervously and his eyes darted around his cell. “That’s a dangerous subject to discuss
so openly…” He stammered fearfully.
“I wouldn’t call your cell an open ce, Linus.” Linus clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about. Even in ces that you consider safe, you’ll quickly re-
evaluate your topics of conversation.” Linus hissed, “You still haven’t told me why you need to know.”
“And I’m still not going to tell you, Linus.” Allen snapped, already beginning to lose patience with the
audacity of this man, “You are in no position to make demands for knowledge.”
Linus glowered at him fiercely and opened his m*outh to reply, but whatever he was going to retort
with, he obviously decided against it and instead, sighed bitterly as he changed the position that he
was seated in.
“Eromaug has been quietly gathering strength over the years.” Linus finally said as he stared at the
manacles around his wrists, “We wouldn’t have known if it had not been for a spate of disappearances
that involved thest known magick users across multiplemunities.”
“All of the Elders knew?” Allen asked with a scowl as his mind instantly moved to Bartholomew.
If he had known, why hadn’t he said anything?
Linus sneered up at him. “Oh a good number of the Elders knew, names that I have already given to
you and a few more, but the king refused to take action in the early stages, no doubt due to Narcissa’s
poisonous influence.” He chuckled bitterly.
“What was he doing with the witches that he gathered?” Allen asked with a frown as Linus chuckled
darkly.
“Magick users are not exclusively female you dumb f**k. Witches, warlocks, enchanters,
necromancers, shamans, druids, sages, the fae… they all use magick of some sort.” Linus spat
arrogantly, “Do you really think he would discriminate on gender alone?”
“I don’t care about that, I want to know why he took them and what he intends to do with them.” Allen
hissed as he mmed his fist into the wall.
Linus was really beginning to get under his skin and it showed.
“Why do you think he was taking them? If they wouldn’t join his cause then they were against him! I
think it’s pretty obvious that anyone against him would be eradicated, it doesn’t take a genius to work
that out.” Linus sneered.
“But then why take the bodies, Linus?” Allen asked as took a menacing step forward, with Linus
scuttling back to a corner of his cell in response to his movement, as if he could somehow get away
from him.
“Perhaps to drain them of their magick, or to fuel the flesh crafter’s and necromancers’ work, I don’t
f*****g know.” He spat.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
“So, the people taken…they could still be alive.” Allen murmured thoughtfully to himself as Linus
glowered at him from the corner.
“I don’t f*****g know and I don’t particrly give a s**t either. Magick users are unbnced and
unstable at best! Treacherous f***s that will turn on you with ease thanks to the way that they allow
their magick to screw with their minds.” He hissed.
“If I didn’t know better Linus, I would think that you had a deep seated hatred for all non-werewolf…”
Allen growled lightly before Linus interrupted him fiercely.
“WE are the superior race, Allen! We deserve to rule over those that are beneath us! We…” Linus’s
tirade was suddenly interrupted as he spluttered and coughed violently, bringing his hands up to his
throat at the same time as a river of blood seemed to cascade out of his m*outh like a morbid waterfall.
A deep chuckle reverberated through the air as Linus’ body fell to the floor and Allen stood frozen, his
senses on high alert as he struggled toprehend what had just happened. There was no sign of
anyone else in the cell, no scent that betrayed the presence of another, just the haunting echo of
mockingughter and a voice that made his blood run cold.
“I do so hate it when they babble endlessly and reveal things that should have been kept secret.” The
voice tutted loudly from somewhere behind Allen.
He pushed himself away from the wall and cast his gaze around the cell wildly. There was nothing to be
seen anywhere… even with Orvar’s heightened senses, they could find nothing.
Without warning Allen was flung face first against the opposite wall, his shoulder shattering painfully as
it collided with the cold, jagged surface as he staggered back from the wall.
“Whoops. My hand must have slipped… that must have hurt…” the disembodied voice mocked as
Allen bared his teeth and the eyes of his wolf shed menacingly, searching for anything that might
betray where this sneaky f*uc*ker was hiding.
Then he saw it, the faintest disturbance in the air, as if something had flickered across his vision and
disappeared almost instantly again. Allen snarled furiously as he waited for the disturbance to appear
again and as soon as it did, he lunged.
He grasped wildly at the empty air without taking hold of anything and found himself thrown against the
wall again, face first as his nose crunched under the impact with the wall yet again.
“Nice try Allen… but a little too slow. You never were very good at hide and seek were you?” The voice
mocked beforeughing again darkly, “After all, you failed to find your sister yourself didn’t you?” The
voice purred in his ear as Allen turned his head, the skin grating painfully across the stone as he
strained to see the face of his attacker.
His heart almost stopped as Jaspers grinning face appeared only millimeters away.
“Hello Allen. Long time no see.” Jasper grinned sinisterly.
