"Are you saying the truth?!" Cray jumped at Iliana.
Iliana blinked once, then said, "Of course, I always say the truth."
Cray slumped his shoulders, and sighed. "Huuh... I am glad we don't lose our friend this soon." He turned to Whitney, then bumped Whitney's chest lightly. "He's still alive, Whitney. Loosen up a little bit."
Despite that, Whitney didn't loosen up in the slightest; he knew the matter didn't solve just with Basil staying alive.
"What happened to Basil, anyway?" Iliana asked.
"He's trapped inside the Dungeon together with a Kinslayer."
Iliana looked at Whitney sceptically. "Hoh? They are real?"
"We would've brought him home with us, if they are not."
Iliana hummed to herself, before looking at Alcott. "My Subjugation task with this guy," she raised Deacon up, "was successful. Therefore, I will go on to the next task, in which I volunteer myself in."
Alcott quirked his eyebrow. "What do you mean by that, Iliana?"
