My eyes bulged when I came to the realization.
That meat at the table, the crestfallen people in the cells, the fact that Jaq is deathly afraid…
"Jaq, I know you won't tell me what they do, but do they use healing magic here? It's a simple yes or no. You can nod your head."
I watched the broken man for a moment before he slowly nodded.
"They're randomly selecting people, cutting them up, using healing magic to regenerate them, and then serving their meat to the inmates." I declared.
"J-Jeez…" Tael covered his mouth. Kany scowled while Erana just frowned.
Okay. Now that we know what to expect, we need to face off against this butcher.
While I began to think of ways to face off with a monster I haven't seen, I heard a scream come from the distance. The scream was that of a woman.
For the first time since we reunited, Jaq stood up and stopped quivering.
"No…" He whispered.
"What's wrong?" I asked, hand on my weapon.
