Bab 327: The Ice Oni

After collecting the three weapons from the dungeon, we decided to return to the West. Of course, I’d come back to check up on Project CATH and all the other goodies in the dungeon, but I wanted to do something before I forgot.

As soon as the dungeon was conquered, Julian was able to regenerate, so he was perfectly fine. Back outside, I couldn’t find the ice oni reincarnator. Turns out he’d woken up while I was fighting the automaton and was already on his way back to his village. We easily caught up to him, though.

“P-Please spare me!”

He cried something like that.

I had no intention of killing him, of course. It’s just that it was finally time to do it. Ever since my return, Alpha’s odd actions and words had been bugging me. I knew there was more to this whole reincarnation bit, but I didn’t want to pry too much into something messy.
