Chapter 70
In the outside world, the team stood frozen, watching the holographic feed with dim, hollow expressions. The silence in the room felt heavier than the battle unfolding before them. Mimi finally broke it. She stepped toward one of the hovering bots, her voice sharp but tightly controlled.
"Why don't you help him? Isn't he your creator or something?"
Rage simmered beneath her words, but she clung to her rationality with iron composure. The bot simply hovered, silent and unresponsive—no beep, no flicker, nothing. Dejected, Mimi turned away and rejoined the others. She said nothing more. None of them did. They just watched.
"Inerous , calm down."
Dax's voice came out hollow but gentle. That was when she noticed—he was still pouring energy into the Rage Cocoon, even as white flames ate at his body. The spear remained lodged in his chest, burning deeper.
What is Master doing? Inerous thought. I sense his traits… struggling to devour the energy in this spear.
