Chapter 275

“I-I-I knew it… this was the ri, ght choice.”
Dullan chuckled, his laughter dry and rasping.
“You know, I was worried. Judging by the fact that you’re aware of my involvement, it seems that my past self did something significant. I didn’t plan it, and I don’t know how to do it now.”
Even with both legs crushed, he seemed perversely delighted. Blood-tears dripped from his eyes, and his mouth leaked a mix of blood and bile, but nothing—not even Raymond’s torture—could stop his laughter. The more pain Raymond inflicted, the more convinced Dullan became. This moment would end, and it would all begin again.
“B-B-But judging from… the l-look on your face… it seems I succeeded.”
This joy.
Seeing your expression fills me with so much joy. Carynne has truly grasped eternity. My past self has achieved everything until now. Even if I die this instant, I’ll come back, and all this pain will vanish.
Sir Raymond, I won’t remember. And even now, there is nothing left to fear.
What joy this is!
