Kapitel 2181: Final Push (Part 1)

To make matters worse, Acala had acted driven by petty envy and blind ambition. Back then, he believed that the Rezars, just like the Griffon Kingdom, owed him and that he was just taking what was rightfully his.

It wasn't Acala's fault if the Rezars had tried to stop him from bonding with Dawn and forced him to slaughter them. It wasn't his fault if the Kingdom had failed to recognize his greatness, forcing him to sacrifice innocent merchants to build his reputation as the bane of the undead.

Or at least, that was what he had always repeated to himself.

After bonding with him, Dawn had fed his delusions. At first to more easily control him and then she had eased his conscience with her love. Staying together with her had taught him what real genius was and had lifted the veil of his self-serving ego.
