章節 508: Losing The Game

I thought I had prepared for every contingency.

I made sure everything went according to plan, and even made sure to manipulate several ends to achieve the results I desired. But…

... I didn't expect Legris Damien to still be alive.

Even though Magic made the impossible possible, I wasn't counting on it this time.

At his time of death, Legris couldn't use Magic. I made sure of that.

Though, with Jane's Soul Project being known to me, I realized that there were other ways he could have used to cheat death. Still, wouldn't that have required a soul?

I was sure that his soul died alongside his body.

It made no sense that he was currently standing behind me, smiling cheerily.

"Don't be a sore loser, Jared. You lost this round." His words pierced my heart.

Why?

Because he was right.

I didn't want to accept it, but the fact that he was standing right here—holding [The Devil] Arcana—meant my plan was already in shambles.
