Chapter 1537: Paranoid
"I shall kill your closest friends without hesitation, and that will make you appear. If you take your time, then our battlefield will engulf all of them at the same time."
"You really don’t know how to take a joke," Rain’s voice suddenly echoed in the area.
Rain materialized out of thin air as if a cloak concealing his form had suddenly dissipated into nothing. Lonos’s gaze fell upon him, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. Yet, despite the doubts that lingered in the air, Rain showed an unmistakable aura of authenticity. He was not a mere illusion or a copy but a genuine article.
Lonos could feel the weight of Rain’s presence, a tangible force that seemed to defy explanation. It was as if he had emerged from the very fabric of reality itself, a living embodiment of his skill and determination.
As Rain stood before him, his resolve unshaken and his spirit steeled, Lonos could not help but feel a twinge of unease. The tables had turned, and the game was no longer in his favor. With Rain’s return, a new Chapter in their struggle had begun, one filled with uncertainty and peril.
"... How? I was certain that I killed you."
"Who knows? Maybe you aren’t as competent as you thought you should be," Rain shrugged. "You should know the reason that you can’t understand what is happening right now."
Lonos couldn’t deny that... he knew the reason. His best ability was also the source of his weakness... As someone who could see the future and always decide the best path, Lonos didn’t know how to deal with unexpected results. Even while he was studying the aspect of time, he obtained results pretty fast. Thus, he never had to deal with difficult situations where he would have to rely on his wits to solve some issues.
"I suppose I will have to force you to tell me once I defeat you again."
