Chapter 62

Pour...

Karen calmly accepted her delayed fate. However, that only served to send a chill through Seol's heart.

'We were somehow... able to come out of this alive.'

It was a miracle.

Final Comeback's effects only ended thanks to Galifa's Corpse Night and Karuna and Jamad buying time.

'No, she could have killed Karuna if she just felt like it. She simply spared us.'

Rather than surviving, Seol was simply shown mercy.

Obviously, if Karen went all out, Seol could have used other methods too, but in the end, neither party used all their powers.

'Regardless, she is still incredibly powerful.'

Jamad and Karuna would have been considered immensely powerful if it were any other Adventure, but they were helpless before Karen. It was due to the difference in their stats, but even so...

Step...

Karuna, who had taken the full brunt of Karen's Red Lotus Slash, wobbled over to her.

"Karen..."

Pour...

Karen, who looked like a demon when she burned down the surrounding forest, suddenly put away her sword.

Seol wasn't surprised by this, though. He believed that Karen had an ending that she desired.

"...What are you doing? Why did you let go of your weapon?"

Karen responded like it was nothing, with a hint of laughter in her voice.

"Because I don't have time left. I don't want to do this anymore."

"Hmph! You're only starting to talk now because you're at the disadvanta—"

"Jamad! Stop provoking her."

"I got it, I got it. Sigh... The uninvited guest will leave now."

Jamad, realizing that the situation was over, returned to Seol's side.

Since Karen was accepting her death, Seol decided to just watch.

Pour...

Flash!

Karen looked at Karuna while being hit by the pouring rain.

"Karuna, my brother."

"Sister."

"During the time that I have left... I... want to hear your story..."

"...As much as you want."

In this high-stakes situation where Seol could die at any moment, the situation took an unexpected turn.

First, Karen tried to receive an answer from Karuna.

"I'm still stuck on that day... What about you?"

"Karen."

"What happened? No, let me change the question... I don't have much time..."

Karen's body was decaying away.

Not only had she fought, but she was also an undead without a master. The small amount of time she spent revived ruined her body.

"That day... Did you really come back?"

"I was headed there."

"I see... I knew there was no way that you would intentionally break a promise. Yeah, right..."
