Chapter 723

CHAPTER 68 : ARE YOU BUILDING A PACK?

I shook my head and looked around at the hole. “Helen wouldn’t do this…”

“Mila, listen to me,” Soren said. He took my hands and pulled them away from my face.

“This is… all wrong. We weren’t supposed to be late,” I muttered. My mind reeled.

This wasn’t how I saw this playing out. We’d finally gotten ahead and we were making progress. How had we fallen so far behind suddenly?

“Please, Mila, look at this from the positive side. This might not be as bad as you think,” he implored.

I creased my brow. “What do you mean?”

“Think about it. Whoever took it only has one part of the artifact. It won’t be that powerful and they won’t be able to use it anyway,” he said.

“The Moonlit Crystal has power on its own. The blade could, too,” I said.

“The Moonlit Crystal works for you because of your bloodline. Anyone that takes the blade won’t be able to use it because they don’t have the blood,” he reminded me.

“You think… Maybe Helen told someone?” I asked, biting my lower lip.

Soren sighed. “Perhaps. Although, I hate to say it, but it is more likely that it was tortured out of her…”

“That doesn’t exactly make me feel better,” I groaned.

“I know, I’m sorry. Either way, it means Helen doesn’t have the final piece, so whoever does, can’t use it,” he continued.

“You’re right… the power isn’t complete and that means the pieces are useless,” I concurred.

“It is true that you can’t use the artifact but the people that got this piece can’t use it either,” he said.

“That is a bright side,” I agreed, nodding. I frowned slightly and shrugged.

“You don’t sound like you think it is a bright side,” Soren said, arching an eyebrow. “Are you after the power of the artifact?

“No… not right now,” I said, shaking my head.

“Not right now? Does that mean you have a use for it sometime in the future?” he pressed.

I smiled lightly and shook my head again. “No, I don’t even know what it does…”

“Then we don’t have to rush, do we?” Soren asked.

“I guess not…”

“Then it doesn’t seem like a good use of our time chasing after the missing piece right now, does it? We can wait and see. An artifact like that won’t stay hidden for long, now that it has been dug up, I’m guessing it won’t be long before we hear something,” he added.
