Chapter 318 The Name Thief Strikes Again
Northern and the rest turned their heads to where the eerie laughter was coming from.
On the ground, Fano slowly rose, his limbs however were trembling such that Northern couldn't help but wonder what Raven had done to him.
"You... you think Sura... that bloody bastard will just let you walk into his domain and take the girl? Kikikiki... you don't know who you are up against."
Northern looked at the trembling Fano and shook his head.
"Aren't you and Sura supposed to be like two sides of a coin?"
Fano raised his head slightly and glared at the person talking. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
Northern glanced at Raven as he continued:
"She defeated you. What's to say she can't defeat Sura too?"
Immediately the words were said, Fano let out a loud burst of laughter. He slowly rose to his feet afterwards, limbs still trembling, but he managed to stand.
Then he gave Northern a vile glare.
"You think any of you can lay your hands on Sura? Sides of the same coin? Bahhh, you know nothing, human. First of all, I am amazed that you can speak my tongue. But in the end, you all are just weaklings."
Northern's facial expression contorted to a grim scowl.
"How about you stop talking in circles and just be direct?"
"Dumb, what's so hard for you to gain there... the hideous rule that this domain now follows, who do you think created it? Who do you think created me, who do you think created the boy and the girl who are keys to destroying this place, and why do you think he did so?"
The frown on Northern's face was getting deeper and darker.
A guess entered his mind... and cautiously, he muttered it out:
"Sura?"
"Exactly! The domain of the cold and the domain of the ice were both ruled by him. Out of boredom, he created the White Walkers, created the Red Walkers, created me and created the Keys. He called everything family and made it so complicated that no one would be able to destroy what he built."
The explanation settled coldly into Northern's mind. For some reason, he could understand why Terence had instructed them to go straight for Sura after getting the boy.
Inasmuch as all this rule existed, just killing Sura would have made everything else much easier.
"You are in trouble. Since you have defeated me and killed all the White Walkers, he knows and is definitely expecting you all right now."
Northern washed his face down with his palm and sighed.
Northern was shocked to hear him speak in their common language.
He grimaced and rushed forward to grab him by the neck.
"How are you able to speak our language?"
Fano scowled in disgust.
"Monster tongue is the origination and beginning of all other tongues. Any being with a semblance of intelligence would get it."
Northern lowered his gaze for a second; what Fano said was true. Ulzred, after all, was getting it too.
Raven gently removed Northern's hands and said to Fano:
"Should I just kill you?"
"I told you, the moment you kill me, all my powers would return to Sura. You'll be putting yourself in jeopardy."
Northern stared for a couple of seconds, his eyes out of focus.
He then gave Fano an offsetting smile.
"I think I have an idea..."
Raven and Cal looked at him.
"What idea is that?"
Northern did not respond to them but instead just stared at Fano.
