Capítulo 509: Ground Zero

"Well, nice try. But, as I said… don't be a sore loser."

A slight surge of power emanated from Legris, frying my Automatons until they popped like little fireworks.

"That should do it." He dusted his body to get rid of the microscopic particles on his body.

I couldn't do anything but watch as he exited through the entrance.

"I'm going to get promoted for this achievement, by the way. I guess we'll meet sooner or later. Until then, Jared."

Once Legris' words were complete, he vanished from sight—most likely returning to whoever sent him to retrieve the Arcana.

Clenching my fist as I was left alone in the powerless Miasma Chamber, I gritted my teeth and looked at the hard ground.

Disappointment coursed through my body and I could feel the heat within me rise at a terrifying rate.

'I failed! He got me! Shit!'

With Legris gone, the negative emotions I had locked away had full reign.

I was deluded into thinking I had full control, but I had been playing someone else's game.
