บท 1334: Shame Of A Lifetime

"Looks like you are the mastermind behind this." The old voice, which was emotionless even when killing the Veyan captain showed a tinge of appreciation.

But it's the sort of appreciation shown by a predator to its prey, not that of an old senior towards the newbie.

Varian sensed the intentions clearly and he took on a defensive stance.

He didn't try to run away. He simply couldn't outrun the attack of a rank 9.

The only chance of surviving was trying to find a way out.

Moreover…

'He isn't Merov. Is he possessed? But who dares to the favorite candidate?'

This whole thing felt like a faux.

How did Merov, a peak rank 7, easily kill the Orion Captain?

Defenseless and injured, he was, but easy to kill, he was not. It would take a bare minimum of rank 8 strength to kill him even in that state. Peak rank 7 was just magnitudes weaker to deliver a killing blow.
