Torrac's voice had shrunk after hearing Monkey. He sounded almost offended, like the Tower itself had insulted him by letting Kael be this slippery.
"Yes, the Momentum Rune would have turned to ash as it was soon to be hit with the closing circle of the Ifrit. If he respected the contract and never woke the Zombies. Or caused the zombies to wake up, the rune would have been lost. But now…"
Monkey let the implication stretch. The rune wasn't just a prize. It was a ticking deadline. Kael hadn't "broken" the contract. He had used the contract as bait, then used other humans as the lever to break the floor's timeline in his favor.
"He can easily go for it. But, can he make it in time?" Dragon muttered as he noticed that Kael was running low on energy.
Internal energy.
