บท 130: An ‘Unusual’ Conclusion

Neither Leo nor Arthur were that vengeful, but the Sword Demon's presence in his life was simply too much. It all felt too far now, but this antagonist's influence on him started even before Arthur was born. Arthur's parents had become test subjects, dying when they tried to give him a different life.
