Chapter 174

Snap...

Crack...

As Snorer and Teeth Grinder sank their teeth deeper into Bornuil, Frannan, for some reason, found himself recalling his past.

His master, Veil, looked down at him, seeing someone who had yet to fully bloom.

- What a terrible problem.

- Huh?

- Frannan, why do you not give it your all in combat?

- Well...

- Want me to guess the reason? You... can't trust others, can you?

Veil was right.

Ever since Frannan was young, he had always seen himself as someone destined for another path.

Though his birth was ordinary, he intended to end it grandly, no matter what.

In the end, Frannan realized his greatness... but it came at the cost of his ability to trust others.

- Because if I fail after I give it my everything... then it really is the end...

- Why would that be the end? What about your peers?

- ...They're different from me. They fail easily.

- Haha... You're quite out of place in Libra, where we prioritize balance above all else, aren't you? To think you would choose to increase your burdens...

- Why should I trust others?

- Because you are a magician. People think magicians are incredible, but... in truth, we're all just conceited idiots.

- Magic is incredible.

- Magic is incredible, but not magicians. Magicians are a bunch who can't do anything on their own.

Snap!

As Frannan was deep in his thoughts, Seol received another message.

[You have defeated Ur:Bornuil.]

"I-Is it finally over?" asked a member of the Artifact Association.

Frannan dryly responded to them.

"How many people died?"

"We've only spotted two so far."

"Haah... Where are they?"

"Here, we... huh?"

After Frannan dismissed his demonic spirits, he and the expedition party attempted to identify the corpses of those who died in the battle.

However...

"I-It's gone."

"What are you talking about?"

"One of the corpses... it's gone..."

The expedition party all looked at each other and quickly tried to assess the situation.

"Wh-what are you saying?"

"How could a corpse disappear?"

"I was sure it was here..."

Suddenly, a voice emerged from the darkness.

"Looking for me?"

"God damn it... No wonder it felt so easy."

A figure exited the darkness with a sly grin. It was unmistakably the corpse that had disappeared.
