Chapter 117: The One Who Conquer the Time
Nao’s POV:
Vorx was gravely injured, her body reaching its limit. I approached her cautiously. Her form was still fused with the forehead of the dungeon boss, but she was utterly drained, powerless, and her body had begun to crack.
Standing directly in front of her now, I gazed at her with a hint of pity.
Then, she spoke. "Big brother Zorx... I’m sorry...I was nothing but a burden to you..." Vorx whispered those words with the last remnants of her consciousness.
The light in her eyes slowly faded, leaving them open yet devoid of life.
"Even demons have families of their own. Vorx, if we had met under different circumstances, in a different world... perhaps we could have been friends." I muttered those words, a painful tightness gripping my chest.
I couldn’t help but feel I had done something wrong, but this was my duty—to defeat demons. I had to do this, for my family’s sake.
"I truly am sorry. In the end, you were right... Humans are trash, and I might be the worst among them. Rest now, Vorx. May you find peace in your next life." I whispered as I gently closed her lifeless eyes, silently praying she would find happiness, wherever she was headed.
Suddenly, Envi’s voice rang out in my mind."You didn’t do anything wrong, Nao! The demons have gone too far. Their hatred for humans is what started this war in the first place. Don’t hesitate now, Nao! If you falter, I’ll knock some sense into you!"
Hearing Envi’s unusually calm and normal tone made me smile a little. I knew he was trying to cheer me up, and for that, I was grateful. Even though he usually mocked me or teased the girls, he still had a heart.
"Thank you, Envi. I’m fine now. Let’s get out of here..." I told him softly, and I could sense his relief.
