Chapter 404: Stranger
"Boom."
Orphin had yet to recover from seeing the death of Zarius when he heard a small blast and turned around only to see the Scarlet King had descended next to him.
"I assume you know what your fate will be. It will be fast and painless, but first, I must ask you some questions."
Orphin only sighed as a sad smile appeared on his face and prepared to answer the question since it was not like he could resist.
The Scarlet King already had all the knowledge of Kain, but he needed to know more about the people who went after the boy. After all, he would take the young man’s identity during his stay in Kronos.
Of course, using the Gluttony Eye on Orphin would have been the best way to collect the information. Yet, it was more complex, as the technique required nearly all of the Scarlet King’s power to work on a Wave Warrior, and the mental defenses of a Wave King were much more powerful.
It took around five hours for the Scarlet King to know everything about the force behind Orphin and the man.
"SHHHH:"
Not a second after the Scarlet King obtained his information, he waved his hand, severing the man’s head, ending his life before this one even realized it. After that, he extracted Orphin’s Evolution Core and sent the rest of the corpse into his [Devourer Dimension], and the same happened to Zirus and Amos’s corpses.
The Scarlet King waved his hand, generating pulses of sonic energy mixed with darkness that flooded the surroundings. Only once there was not a single piece of evidence left of what happened here did he look to the northwest, where the capital of the Kronos Continent was located.
