Chapter 108

Boooooom!

The corpses of Shadow Hunters lay all over.

However, because their faces all looked like they had no idea why they died, the only thing anyone could discern about the person who killed them was that they were an expert.

Still... even an expert can't kill everyone.

"Cough... cough..."

"You've become weak, witch."

Mirei's body was covered in countless arrows.

It was her defeat.

Dir, Malacus's cold-hearted hunting dog, emerged from the forest.

Grrrr...

Those fangs had left many scars on her body at this point.

Not too long after, Malacus emerged from the forest as well.

Though he couldn't see from his eyes, he was confident enough that even his gait felt nonchalant.

He had cloudy eyes, which were impossible to see through.

"That dog... I see. So you're quite the repugnant bastard yourself."

"Shut your mouth. I recommend you do so if you wish to live even a moment longer."

"Haha... it hurts so damn much... Why couldn't you go easier on me?"

"...Where is he?"

"...Who are you talking about?"

"Don't try to fool me. He reeked of shadows as well. Is he here?"

"What do you think about being satisfied with just me?"

"Answer me."

"......"

"Answer me right now. If you don't, this dagger will pierce your heart."

"Stab me then."

"...What?"

"Stab me, you coward. Stab my heart a hundred times for all I care. See if I'll talk."

Raise...

Mirei's senses were on edge. She could feel Malacus's intent as he slowly approached her.

'I guess this is the end... the experiment was a failure too. I guess I bit off more than I could chew, Sodin. Sorry.'

It was clear that after she died here, Seol, who was behind that wall, would die too. This would be the futile end of her life's research.

'No, I need to buy time. I can't just let him kill me!'

Suddenly, Mirei thought of trying to buy as much time as she could before her death.

"Look, Malacus."

"......"

"I have a question. You know the cliche, right? How villains ramble on and on the moment they get an opportunity to kill the main character. Stay true to your role, alright?"

"I am not a villain."

"Haha... How could you say something like that after you've already killed me once? You're bad at looking at yourself objectively, huh?"

"I am not a villain."

Malacus turned his head to Mirei.

"I am a judge."

"A judge? And what do you judge, then?"

"...You."

"What?"
