"Filthy Orthodox sect bastards."
Ilcheon Sword had undoubtedly shouted this just now. Moreover, there was no one present who failed to grasp the meaning behind those words.
"Leader, please, come to your senses!"
"What... what is this...?!"
"...So noisy," Ilcheon Sword muttered, ignoring the desperate pleas of the Azure Dragon Division members. His lips curled into a sneer, a stark contrast to the typically solemn and composed expression he once wore.
"If only I had endured a little longer... Just a bit more... How regretful."
Clunk. Ilcheon Sword made an attempt to move his body, but in that instant, a spear pierced through his thigh.
Thwackâ!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Don't move recklessly."
"Urgh!"
Ilcheon Sword grimaced in pain, but even that wasnât enough to silence him.
"Heh heh heh... Just a little more... If I had just pushed a little further... I could have wiped out those disgusting Orthodox sect bastards..."
He spoke as though truly lamenting his failure, and his words gradually caused the faces of the Azure Dragon Division members to crumble. Reality was starting to set in.
"Our leader... Why...?"
"Why did you betray us?!"
"Why? Youâre asking why?"
Ilcheon Sword's dazed eyes focused as he responded.
"Because you all have no future. But he does."
"...What nonsense...!"
"The cult leader will save the world. I was merely a stepping stone for that. And yet."
Crunchâ!
