Chapter 656 – Cheap Trick (3) #PART 2
Leaseheartz Claudi.
‘What is this? At this rate…!’
For the true source of all evil, the Seven Deadly Sins, for Pride.
Leaseheartz, who had been moving according to the plan, found himself in a difficult position. The plan hadn’t gone off-track. My role was to give that man a trial that was beyond his ability to bear.
Of course, Leaseheartz didn’t understand the reason behind it.
Nevertheless, his loyalty was sincere.
As the former head of the Claudi family,
serving the true, fully resurrected Claudi was the greatest honor above all.
Creak—
The space of consciousness slowly began to crack.
The meaning of this phenomenon was simple.
This wasn’t some illusion.
“To commit suicide…?!”
The Akshan apprentice was really
piercing his own heart and dying.
Leaseheartz had no choice but to keep an eye on the Evil Eye.
‘If this is my fault…’
All I’ve done is brought trials upon him.
I’ve only ravaged his soul in the form of an old knight.
Leaseheartz genuinely knelt before the Evil Eye.
“I didn’t know things would turn out like this, Claudi!”
The Evil Eye gave no response.
Because we were both demons,
Leaseheartz couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the unimaginable disparity.
‘No, even calling it Claudi is not enough.’
The great family, Claudi.
The name of Claudi, who ruled the Arcana continent from behind the scenes, could no longer describe Grandfell.
And rightly so.
Hadn’t you already swallowed the World Tree?
Leaseheartz bowed his head to the ground, correcting himself.
This was not an action to avoid a crisis, but one stemming from awe and sincerity.
“Source of all evil, please… my innocence…”
No answer came.
But Leaseheartz could feel it.
He saw it in his eyes.
The fixed gaze of Grandfell on the dying human. This made Leaseheartz furious.
“…Why?”
He couldn’t understand.
You were being too obsessed with a mere human.
Memories of the past began to rise in Leaseheartz’s mind. The past where he had guided his son onto the right path.
“Even if he gained Anomaly powers, they weren’t powers he earned himself, were they? The reason he even got this far, the reason he could grow like this, it was all because of your arrangements, wasn’t it?”
Was it light?
Indeed, there were aspects that shone like light, but it was barely a single ray of light. Such shining beings were common even in the Arcana continent.
Why, even the old knight who was now being manipulated could, based on talent alone, overwhelm him. Gradually, Leaseheartz regained his sense of self.
“Above all, that guy is weak, isn’t he? He couldn’t even endure this small trial and ended up taking his own life. Don’t you feel pity for this old knight, who risked his life for someone as weak as that?!”
…This.
Leaseheartz stopped, shocked at the sight of himself scolding. He realized that he had done something worthy of whatever punishment he might receive.
But.
“….”
Still, there was no answer, no reaction. Again, Leaseheartz could feel it. You don’t even consider my words as more than the buzzing of a fly.
Suddenly, an uncontrollable fear arose.
‘…What will happen if you continue to be manipulated by that man?’
The source of all evil, and yet you’re being manipulated by such a human?
I couldn’t stand to watch it.
With that thought, Leaseheartz was able to make a decision.
‘I must make sure to end his life.’
…Twist.
It was the moment when Leaseheartz’s malice was about to stretch itself again.
“?”
Leaseheartz collapsed to the ground.
“…?!!”
There were no signs at all.
He simply died, carrying murderous intent.
The title of the former head of the great Claudi family was meaningless now.
Leaseheartz grew cold.
Even in this situation, Grandfell’s Evil Eye was still focused solely on Hoyeol.
In the crumbling space of consciousness, where only himself and Hoyeol existed, Grandfell spoke.
“I see.”
【Objective Eye】
He gazed at Hoyeol through the power of the Ten Thrones.
Grandfell realized.
“I’ve learned from you again.”
Because he had overlooked the system, he hadn’t noticed.
[Last Adventurer].
The title that nullifies death on the Arcana continent.
“I will never forget again.”
He thought the light had strayed from the arrangement and rashly acted.
Because of that, he had revealed his true intentions.
Grandfell watched Hoyeol, who had logged out from the Arcana continent.
Hoyeol’s lips were clearly smiling.
Grandfell, seeing Hoyeol’s smile,
unconsciously smiled in return.
But the smile didn’t last long.
As I said, I will never overlook this again.
This will be the last time.
Grandfell’s gaze pierced the heart that had been impaled.
“There will be no such mistake again.”
Even for you.
