Chapter 200 Dawn Of A Hypocrite

Chapter 200 Dawn Of A Hypocrite

Northern stood aloof for some seconds, he craned his neck to stare at the sky a little bit.

Then as he brought his head down, he nodded.

"Yeah, I knew this was a stupid idea. What was I doing believing the nonsense you spoke of?"

He rolled the map and tucked it into his bag. Then gave Raven a pitiful look.

"Good luck in your future endeavors, young lady. Whether it is to kill a Sage or steal from one, I don't care. You are just insane, that's what you are."

A barely visible frown formed on Raven's face, almost a contortion of puzzlement.

"I don't understand. What about this plan displeases you?"

Northern had turned around and was about to walk away when he heard her. He paused, fiercely gritting his teeth within closed lips.

It felt as though her words were deliberately aimed to prickle him because what other explanation could there be.

'It is very likely that she's doing this intentionally. Calm down, calm down.'

...was what he said to himself, but on the contrary, it wasn't easy to calm down at all, not in this situation!

"What displeases me??? Wait, are you serious right now? I thought you had a sensible and realistic plan to getting this airship?"

Raven frowned slightly and nodded, "Yes, I do."

"And it involves stealing from a Sage and killing someone you have a grudge on."

She nodded, "Yes, it does."

Her response was so casual and natural. It was obvious to Northern in her tone that she was not seeing what he was, at least not until he said it.

"Wait, are you really insane? If I follow you correctly, you plan to kill two humans? Not monsters, but humans!!"

"Yes, how are they any different?"

Northern froze for a moment, he jerked his head back slowly, frowning in unbelief, then slowly leaned his face forward and tilted his head.

"How... how are they any different? Are you insane? How can you even say that?!!"

Raven stared silently at him, her eyes resolute and cold, betraying not even the slightest hint of emotions, even in this tense conversation.

She recounted a couple of breaths before opening her mouth and saying:

"Yes, North, there's no difference between the two. Both entities have a flame of existence that can be extinguished. Let me ask you a question. How did you feel when you had your first kill, when you heard Ul's voice for the first time?"

Northern raised a brow and folded his arms.

He tried to sincerely remember...

He looked to the front. Raven and Terence had long disappeared into the dark embrace of the forest.

As uncomfortable as this journey was bound to be, Northern felt like perhaps this was another ordeal for him to cross.

Or maybe not.

To be honest, he didn't really care about all of that.

Ordeal or no ordeal.

'I just want the ship!'

And he was going to do anything to get it.

Even if it meant playing as Raven wanted. Of course, his promise to pay her back still stood.

And most importantly, this was another amazing opportunity for him to grow.

Perhaps, this time around, he could start to put deliberate effort into getting stronger and not leaving it to chance.

Meanwhile, Terence and Raven were walking into the forest. As their steps went further, the darkness got deeper and stronger, threatening to swallow them in fact.

Terence glanced at Raven a couple of times, saying nothing.

However, the young lady had since caught her glances. When she was tired, she eventually asked,

"What?"

"Are you going to leave him like that? I thought you said you can't do this without him."

Raven's lips curled up a little, but "He'll come."

"He'll come?" Terence's face contorted into a pool of confusion. "How are you so sure?"

Raven shrugged, "I don't know, I just have this feeling."

Terence stared at her as they walked, blinking, then she commented with a low tone.

"Light, I really do hope you're fine."

"I am..." She replied with a small smile.

"You've been acting—"

Raven stopped and looked back, "He's coming." Her smile formed fully for the first time in a long time, perhaps ever.

It caused Terence's eyes to widen slowly.

This... this right here was the most beautiful she had ever seen Raven Light.
