Chapter 626: Dog Eat Dog

The Elves all collapsed before Rey, and he watched them with barely any emotion in his eyes. He simply turned away from them and looked at the room's entrance.

He seemed to be the only conscious person in the room, at least until he uttered some words.

"So, are you done?" 

As he said this, a purplish black slime appeared from among the flowers, hopping towards Rey with what appeared to be excitement.

~SPLAT!~

Its gooey form splashed on the barrier that surrounded Rey and the Elves.

"I'll grant you your reward if you can pull this off well. I'll be taking my leave now, but before that there are a few things to do."
