Chapter 17: The Mightiest Hero of Black ~My Party Members Betrayed Me so I'll Stick With The Strongest Mons
\n“If you’re a Black Magician you should know it too, right? We have magic for observation and determine range”
“That’s obviously a lie. Magic like that can’t be used with someone with your level. There should be another person doing it for you. Anyone who can get a glimpse of it without being noticed by the other person … For example, the Hero of Divine Eyes”
Shion dares to give the name and explore his heart, but Jean just smiles and doesn’t seem to be upset.
“That stupid strength, you’re the Hero of Darkness right? I’ll know even without the mask”
“I’ve already quit. But when I was still a hero, I should have told you. There’s no next time”
“…… you remember? Ants like me?”
“I remember every single promises I’ve made. The ones that I’ve fulfilled, and the ones that I’ve broken”
Shion’s footsteps echo in the middle of the night. WOOSH – One of the black wings appeared making Jean excited even though he’s already dying. Because it’s a skill that no matter how much he wants it, he can’t learn it.
Even though his body is in such pain that his head going crazy, Jean can’t stop pulling up the edge of his mouth.
“Jean II, that’s my name. The fucking life that started while chasing after someone, the lie has been decided from the beginning. That is, to end the real thing, hahaha. There’s nothing pleasant about this”
“What an idiot…”
Shion chose to pierce his heart with his wing, not corrosion.
Is the killing counts as a punishment or a mercy to escape unimaginable suffering?
