Chapitre 79: Sadim’s Despair, An Assignment

In Kantor Forest…

"AA… AAAHRRGGH──!!"

Loud screams could be heard as a Gladius knight sprinted for his life.

"Somebody… help me…"

His armor was shattered and worn and tears were streaming down his face.

"Somebody… PLEASE, HELP ME!!"

Panic gripped him, his eyes wide with fear.

The clanking of his damaged armor grew louder and louder as he ran, desperate, like prey fleeing a predator.

"I-, I don't want to die! PLEASE!!"

He glanced back.

The endless darkness and trail of corpses behind him made his fear grow even more.

Immediately, he pushed himself to run even faster.

But when he looked forward again, a dark figure stood silently before him.

"N-, NO! It-, It can't be…"

An ominous purple aura was emanating from them. It felt like the presence of death—in fact, so deadly that one would already start seeing their life flash before their eyes.
