Adam's expression distorted slightly.
The spear remained suspended in the air.
Seeing that he had gained at least a few more seconds to live, Cael hurriedly continued.
"Isn't that the whole reason you've kept me around?!"
Adam raised an eyebrow.
"Revive?"
This time, it was Cael's turn to look confused.
"Ah?"
He blinked.
"Didn't you already know?"
The chains rattled as he shifted awkwardly.
"I thought you kept me close because you knew about my hidden ability."
Adam's expression remained unchanged.
The giant blood spear still hovered above them, ready to strike at any moment.
"Explain."
The single word carried enough pressure to make most people panic.
Cael merely rolled his eyes.
"As you said, abilities are reflections of who we are."
He paused.
"But stream names are the same."
Cael looked directly at Adam.
"Tell me."
A crooked smile appeared on his face.
"Why do you think I'm called the Atrocious One?"
Adam answered immediately.
