Capítulo 164: Relief

The morning after, Niflheim had received the grim news of the SSS Rank Basilisk Slayer's passing. Although he was not the most popular and sociable of all Slayers, his loss was still felt across the country. Young aspiring children who wanted to become the top one Ranked Slayers wept their eyes out as some of the netizens did as well. "Who is going to protect us now?!" They cried out. Most were hypocrites who simply denied the fact that Artorias Khalil was doing everything he could while he was still alive.

Green streamers bearing the insignia of the Khalil family were decorated on the Grand Castle's walls. The rain poured hard and drenched everything in the country, it was Gavin and Art's mother who wept the hardest. As the entirety of the Six Blades were inside the manor of the Khalils, Gavin personally asked them to accompany him at their residence so that his mother would be able to meet the Six Blades young core trio, but also because he did not want her to be alone.
