Chapter 84: What did we do to deserve this?
[And with this final battle, the third day of the Great Spring Tournament comes to an end!

Tomorrow, the tournament will enter its fourth day, promising even more excitement and surprises! Don’t miss it!]
In the waiting room, Kael was chatting with his mother, Alessia. His expression was slightly soft as he listened to her speak.
"Son, why don’t we go out to eat to celebrate your victory?" Alessia asked with a big smile. Her life in the mansion, which had once been filled with contempt and ridicule,
had taken a 180-degree turn. All because of the incredible son she had, who, despite not showing his emotions as he used to, still loved her as much as ever.
Kael paused for a moment and replied in a slightly warmer tone. After all, it was his mother who had asked him.
"Let’s go eat, Mother."
The two left the waiting room and headed toward the bustling, lively city, which was adorned with flowers and other decorative elements.

The waning moon hung high in the dark, star-filled sky.
The night breeze rocked the grass and wildflowers on the mountain with a slow, almost melodious rhythm. And the gusts of wind rustled the tree branches, producing chilling sounds.
Fireflies painted the air with their crimson glow. Meanwhile, several miles away from the city, a massacre was taking place.
