Chapter 1036 Confronting Khimav

Amidst the ongoing panic in the captal's center, one Giant stood calm in a corner and watched the battle unfold.

He was still enough to be mistaken for a statue.

Ever since the ex chief's faction began making movements, there was an uneasy feeling that wouldn't go. Something was wrong. Khimav couldn't pinpoint exactly where, but something indeed was.

Members of the ex chief's faction weren't stupid enough to pull such risky moves. They must've figured out by now that they weren't wanted by the current chief and his faction. This would've been enough reason to not be rash.

Yet, here they were.

Khimav had seen the chaos unfold before his eyes. The way a random girl caused a lot of Giants to go berserk wasn't something he could ever make out.

Khimav could go and kill the girl right away, but there was a certain vampire entity standing at a distance from her, overlooking the entire battlefield with a calm gaze.

From a distance, he looked like a seasoned warrior. No, the much better term to describe him would be an authority, a rule of some sort. The regal aura that naturally spread out from his body wasn't something anyone could have.

The person in the distance seemed comparatively weaker, but Khimav didn't make his move. He stood in place and locked his spiritual sense on Lith.

Time gradually passed and everyone in the capital's center was eventually infected.

A promising young Giant charged with all his might to protect his people. The vampire entity watching over the battlefield seemed interested in this Giant.

The young Giant's cries came to an end as he did his best to even out the threats. He tried to avoid the infectious droplets, but alas, they were everywhere.

He succumbed to the infection, and was knocked out by the vampire entity, thus sleeping peacefully in the middle of a battle.

With him going down, the vampire entity seemed to have lost interest in the battlefield. His gaze shifted and locked itself with Khimav's.

Khimav frowned. Although he expected that entity to know that he was being stalked, with how his reaction was, it was evident that he knew for how long Khimav had been watching him.

Khimav stood rooted in his spot and watched the man fly close to him with his set of bat wings.

Lith hovered in midair before Khimav and stared into his eyes.

The man in front had a poised look. Composed, confident, and cunning could be the accurate words to describe him.

"I assume you are the reason for this chaos, yes?"

There was no greeting. No pleasantries or formalities. Khimav went straight to the point and asked Lith.

"Yes." Lith replied.

"Why?" Khimav wondered. "Why meddle in others' affairs?"

Lith shrugged. "I wouldn't meddle if I didn't have a proper reason."

"And what would that be?"

Lith flashed a small smile. "Heh. It's to stop the infighting among you lot."

Khimav's brows burrowed in response. "Stop infighting by causing infighting? Is this not adding fuel to the fire than sand?"

Lith turned the phone down and looked up at the Giant's face.

A smirk spread across his face as he said, "There is none. It's up to you to believe it or. It. This is a gamble, a literal gamble that I'm forcing upon you."

Khimav's head ached with stress as thousands of possibilities played out in his mind in regards to the conversation he just had with him.

No matter through which angle he saw it, Lith's words contained no loophole or things that could be taken advantage of. He also wasn't hesitating whatsoever or nervous in front of Khimav.

From Giants standpoint, nobody could hold a candle to Khimav. That's just how good he was. Beings lower than him would be afraid of his Emperor Rank aura but Lith wasn't.

He was definitely an expert. Khimav didn't need more proof than this. As for the credibility part...

Did Khimav even have a chance to refuse?

The moment Lith said he could heal his wife, he was already sold.

Nobody was able to treat her till now and Khimav was running out of options. He had consulted, and had many skillful alchemists visit him.

Unfortunately, no one was able to say anything in regards to his wife's condition.

Since he had reached a dead end, anything from here onwards was an opportunity he couldn't miss to take.

Three minutes passed by in the blink of an eye.

Khimav gave his answer honestly. He first stated as to why he would side with Lith. Then, he asked right away about how his wife would be healed.

Lith looked in the distance, towards the peak of a tall mountain at the periphery of the Giant Kingdom.

Pointing at that place, Lith said, "A dandelion lies in that place. It looks like a dandelion, smells, and disperses like one, but is actually an odd terrestrial species similar to sea anemone."

"It is alive and can move around."

"Find it, dry it, make a powder. Use the powder with small quantities of basic alkaline solutions and apply it all over your wife's body."

Khimav hurriedly took notes in his mental library, afraid that he might lose out on some vital information.

Lith knew the guy's weak points and targeted exactly those.

He had little time remaining for the quest's ending, and had to move fast. He didn't plan to be cruel, but was forced to do so.

Whatever opinion Khimav would have of him later, Lith didn't bother or care.

Though, he did feel pity for him.

Lith didn't know how it would feel to have your loved ones be on deathbed, and he certainly wasn't planning on feeling it. However, helping his wife was a small task and the least Lith could do for Khimav to gain his loyalty.

This dude was resilient, strong, and capable. It would be a fine addition to his party if he were to be recruited.

Finishing the paste's ingredient list, Lith said, "Now go. Find those plants. I'll help you make the paste if you come quickly."

With a small bow, Khimav vanished from his spot and went to grab the ingredients. Whether the words were true or not, he was going to find out in a while and make his move.
