Chapter 60
“Did you run right over here after learning that I touched the Yaksha’s son? Heh, you’re still the Yaksha’s slave despite becoming so strong. How funny.”
“Funny? Theodore, you aren’t qualified to judge my strength.”
“Kuhaha! You don’t know who you are up against! If I regained the strength of my prime, I could take down both you and the Yaksha with ease... ”
“Ah, but what a shame. You can’t regain it.”
“Tsk, enough with the mockery. Kill me neatly if that’s what you’re here to do.”
Theodore had fought against the army of the gods in the distant past; one or two National Treasures had no way of killing him when he was still in his prime. But in the current situation, it was impossible for Theodore to regain his former power.
Pearl Island... He had long become the ghost of this small island where Lion’s Castle existed. There was no way out for his bound soul. He was cursed to die without a chance to regain his strength, only to revive and do it over again. It was an endless, terrible cycle.
The Yaksha could allow him to escape that fate, but.... Theodore felt regret for a moment.
Then Seol Su-Ah asked an unexpected question, “Why did you compete with Jae-Hyeok instead of killing him?”
Theodore made a sound like a sigh of exasperation. “Were you hiding and watching? First you Stalked the Yaksha, and now the Yaksha’s son... You haven’t changed at all. Few people are as perverted as you, even across the entire universe—”
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m just his protector.”
