Chapter 55: Two is More Than Four
From the very beginning, the Knight King Tomb seemed strange to Kain. He, like Elara’s team, got here because of the comet that forced its way through the hill. Obviously, if the tombs were of any importance to the trial, there must be some way to get in directly.
Here he is - Leon, who revealed the secret passage.
His bright appearance and the desire to fight distracted everyone from the compass in his hand, everyone except Kain.
’Hah, just as I thought, there must be some method.’
Then, Kain’s gaze grew colder.
’But... What is this feeling? Why is it that when I look at him, I get an eerie shiver?’
Frost as well as blood were Kain’s allies, but now the cold was running down his back. It wasn’t that Leon wore a mask, no his excitement was more than genuine.
’Just.’ Kain gulped. ’Why does he take everything so easily, like it’s a contest at a festival? I mean, we’re going to kill each other.’
"Wait!" Elara waved her hand. "Guy, you don’t realize what’s going on here! That bastard is a murderer! He killed one of ours!"
Leon, like them, was from the same world, the purple runes around him indicated it.
"And?" Leon tilted his head, not understanding what the problem was. "If he killed, then there was a reason. Humans don’t kill for no reason, that’s what monsters do."
