Tyrant- Liquid Spider concept comic (Patreon)

Nik's mission was to infiltrate Pentious's fortress, part of that includes getting close to your enemies. Maybe he got a little too close. Nik doesn't want Arackniss to suffer. He decides it's time to tell his partner his plan to save his life, but he is too worried about Arackniss's reaction if he ever told him the truth about Overlord Pentious. Ricky comes to the rescue once again to bail Nik out by telling Arackniss the bad news himself. 

Arackniss is not happy about the fact that Pentious could be lying to him and is in denial, there's no way the love of his life could possibly be anything other than good!
