Chapter 485 CH 446: REVENGE MATCH (L)

The order Sol gave to them was clear and concise. They had to fight the opponents designated to them to survive and avoid the worst possible outcome- annihilation.

What Acht could not understand though was... why?Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Why not simply crush them here and now when he had the chance? Why not simply use his overwhelming power to make them do even the most heinous things imaginable and bring them endless suffering for what they did to him and his Kingdom?

Weren't they his enemies? Acht was sure that if he caught someone he considered an enemy like this, he would make sure to make him or her suffer the worst possible consequence as he looked on with glee at their sufferings.

But gazing into Sol's eyes, he was startled to realize that he could see no happiness in having caught them in this place and at such an opportune moment. He saw no joy in the prospect of torturing them and honestly, there was barely even the hint of any emotions that could be seen in those cold, indifferent, and unfeeling eyes of his.

"Why don't you hate us?"

The question spilled out of his mouth without him meaning to and he couldn't help but instantly regret that action...

Why did he have to open his large mouth and say stupid things like that? Wouldn't it be simpler for them to take care of this situation as was ordered by the prince and just walk away when they fulfilled his conditions? Why the fuck did he do that?

"Why?"

Acht shuddered when he felt Sol's gaze settle on his body. There was still no hostility in his gaze. Only honest confusion before those blue eyes were filled with a look of faint mockery.

"Not only did you do nothing to me... But why would I hate inconsequential people such as you? Feeling hatred toward people beneath me is just a waste of time. Don't you think so, puny dwarf?"

Acht gasped slightly before gritting his teeth in anger and frustration. He wanted to mock the prince for his arrogance but realized that they were indeed completely helpless in front of him right now...

"Do not take this personally. I just need the two of you to be good stepping stones for my two beautiful companions. You should know them already by the way. Setsuna and Lilin." Acht's wounds throbbed at the mention of that accursed name. He still vividly remembered the fight he had with that crazy young woman.

The fight had been in his favor from start to finish. But in the middle, because he underestimated just how much damage that snake girl could take and how fierce the secret skills of the girl called Lilin was, he nearly got offed in just one strike from her sword.

Even then, this attack was still haunting his body and soul and giving him sustained damage throughout.

"During the fight, every hit is permitted. You can even go for the kill if you like. In fact, I will be sorely disappointed if you two hold back for one reason or another."

He turned his gaze over to Neun and spoke, "The last time you saw Setsuna, the two of you had a very interesting discussion, right? I am sure she will have an answer for you now."

It was time to find this so-called treasure.

If it was some BS feeling of friendship he swore he would raze this place to the ground.

Meanwhile, when Acht and Neun finally walked out of the dungeon and stepped into the forest once again, they were greeted by two women waiting for them.

One was a young blue-haired young girl with wolf hair and a tail. The other was a purple-haired young girl with a pair of horns sticking out of her head that gave her an eerie charm. Setsuna and Lilin.

The two had stoic expressions plastered on their faces, even as they looked at their foes. They perfectly remember the feeling of humiliation and depression that haunted them after they woke up at the hospital; defeated by the pair of enemies that they now had to face once more.

Be it Setsuna or Lilin, they had both sworn that they would one day avenge this humiliating defeat.

It seemed like this day had finally come for them.

"Princess."

Placing her hand on her sword, Setsuna stood up from her sitting position on her knees and started to walk away.

"Let's find some space to duke it out."

She was focused, her eyes betrayed no emotion other than a desire for growth and victory.

Neun bowed lightly to Setsuna's fading back and started to follow her in silence, leaving Acht and Lilin alone.

Silence settled between the two remaining individuals as even the sound of their steps could not be heard resounding in the distance.

Acht wondered what would be his chances of survival if he simply surrendered now. But he could feel that this would not end well for him.

'Very well. Do you think I only like being played around?'

He took out pills and started chewing on them. It was something Drei had made long before leaving. It could temporarily alleviate the pain and let him use his full power.

"Shall we dance?"

Light flickered and two guns appeared in his hand.

To those words, Lilin scoffed, "The only man I will ever dance with is Sol."
