Chapter 61

The energy that Galifa released was horrific.

A vortex of energy was launched toward Karen. Seol noticed people's faces cursing Galifa in the vortex.

"Hmph!"

Karen must have felt the disturbing energy as well, as she quickly tried to dodge it.

However...

Fwoooooosh!

The vortex landed directly on her armor, twisting it.

"Argh..."

"Haha... it's pointless! The dead cannot avoid this energy of hatred."

Galifa, as expected from a necromancer, knew exactly how to fight a corpse.

Crumble...

Karen's armor was fine, but her skin started to crumble.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

Flaaare!

[Karen's Pride activates.]

[For a short while, Karen ignores most damage.]

A portion of Karen's body lit up to burn the negative energy. However, the vortex continued to stick to her.

"Now, in a few moments, your body will be in pieces! Kuahaha... It's going to be a pain, but I'll make sure to properly put your body back together with these old hands."

After saying that, Galifa looked at Seol.

"Now, let us finish this!" said Galifa.

"Is it not over already?"

"It would take quite a while if she resists the corruption. Furthermore, if the hatred disappears, she will be able to run wild again. Well, the corruption should still continue regardless since she was already hit by the hatred."

"...I understand."

Seol gave Karuna a glance.

With determined eyes, Karuna charged at Karen.

Gloooow...

And Karuna swung Breath at Karen.

Seol believed that Karen had finally been cut down.

Clang!

But she was tenacious.

She resisted the corruption and held onto her decaying body.

"As always, you... aren't answering me."

"...Karen."

"Oh, my brother, who has failed to keep his promise, you have abandoned the Empire."

"Karen, I'll explain everything. The Emperor is dead, and the Montra Empire has already long fallen. We're in a new world."

"Fall? Montra? No, there's no way that could be true."

"Wake up! Our time is already over! We're... already dead."

"Haha... yes, I died. But the Empire is still alive. I-It's still here..."

Seol felt a chill.

Despite the blazing inferno that surrounded him, for some reason, he felt a chill.

'No, it isn't a chill.'

It's something ominous.

Typically, Seol trusted his instincts.
