Chapter 78: Illusions of Despair
After I stabbed Armaros with the lunar sword, he grabbed my face and began showing me an illusion.
At first, we appeared in End Forest, and in the distance, I could see a shadowy figure talking to a hobgoblin.
He was showing me the moment he created the Goblin King and how he gave him the mission to attack End Town after infusing his blood orb inside the monster’s body.
Then, we warped to another memory where Armaros led a group of goblins to kidnap the two women that we ended up saving after the battle.
"So, it was all you..." I muttered with anger, as it was all because of him that those two women had to endure that horrible experience.
Armaros simply laughed and warped us to another memory. In it, I saw him infusing his blood orb on a wyvern, then commanded it to destroy a village.
Coincidentally, it was the village of Guano, whose residents ended up going to End Town after the wyvern razed their village. But in reality, it was always Armaros who ordered these monsters.
I clenched my teeth with resentment as the illusion warped to a different memory where we found ourselves underwater.
Right before me was the massive body of the Kraken that we had defeated, and Armaros stood right next to it, infusing his powers into the monster.
"Why?" I asked. "What’s the point of all this?"
Armaros laughed mockingly. "Why? To take the entire kingdom for me, obviously..."
