Chapter 82
“Elona is also dead. She tried to stop me and make up for what the administrator did, but… well, eventually…” Jarim chuckled awkwardly.
The ‘The Slaughterer of the Battlefield’ increased destructive power against creatures made of ore.
And Elona was one such creature, born and raised in Baskar.
Unfortunately, her compatibility was too poor to successfully stop the deranged Seong Jarim. She ended up with severe injuries, and a monster from the Labyrinth delivered the final blow to her immobile body.
“In the end, it was Baskar’s administrator who destroyed the planet.” Jarim, avoiding eye contact, widened her eyes. “I don’t know what grudge it had against me, but it should have communicated. Trying to kill me, someone who was trying to save its own planet? That’s just insane.”
The slaughter of the planet’s inhabitants and the death of its contractee were all ultimately caused by the administrator. It was the one who drove Seong Jarim to madness.
Seong Jarim had no reason to feel guilty for killing Elona, who was being manipulated.
“Elona wouldn’t have held any resentment toward you. She was probably just sad and sorry that her own contractor turned you into this.”
“Yeah…”
“I believe so. I am also a contractee, and I would feel the same way if I were in her shoes.”
It wasn’t a mere empty consolation. Jarim began to weep at the matter-of-fact statement. Seora sighed and embraced her, gently patting her back. “It won’t look good if a senior of a hundred years cries, so please don’t cry.”
