Chapter 68: Group (Part 2)
Arin bit her lip. She knew she was about to be part of a massacre that would go down in history, but she didn’t fear it. If she hadn’t met Canis in Radum, she would have been doomed.
"I don’t care. If it’s for Canis, I would let the whole world die."
Neid saw the emptiness and pain in Arin’s eyes. What kind of life had she lived to become like this?
Iruki carried Siana on his back, and turned to look at Lucas, who was wedged between glaciers. He had lost both legs and couldn’t move. In the end, he would return to the dark prison of Inferno after a failed escape attempt.
Suddenly, the forest shook, and a thick beam of light shot through the trees.
"Wow. What was that?" Neid asked, in awe.
"It’s a photon cannon. You had an epiphany, didn’t you?"
From the forest, Shirone emerged, as if pushing through the trees. Arin’s face flushed red when she saw him. It was clear that Canis had won. But her hopes were dashed when Harvest, who had used his long arms to clear the trees, limped out, looking worse than Shirone.
Iruki was stunned. "Is that...?"
"Impossible," Neid muttered. "Shirone’s photon cannon evolved during the battle. Still can’t win?"
Shirone, standing up, said plainly, "I can’t win."
