Chapter 289 The Last Member (6)
Loretta and I entered the castle without hesitation As I somewhat understood where he was, I led Loretta and walked through the castle’s hall, feeling his boundless s
Mm, this is…
“He has two true names, huh”
When I murmured, Loretta tilted her head curiously
“Two? That’s impossible Kain… Kain Zerahard only has one true name”
“No, he has two He either hid one, or he must have obtained one afterwards”
[I’m surprised you found out]
After his voice rang out in the communication channel, a wall in the hallway rose up like a curtain Almost like a hidden room from the movies, beyond the as a small room
Kain Zerahar greeted us, half lying on a giant sofa that seemed to serve as his bed
“You’re…”
When he saw me, he opened his mouth, then closed it soon after I took this time to examine him closer
The first thing I noticed was his clothes Translucent silk-like clothing covered his body, shi+ning with all sorts of colors The tiny bit of skin he showed on his neck showed how pale he was
He had a long and slender neckline, and he was beautiful enough to be considered a woht Lin was pretty, but Kain Zerahard even surpassed Lin Left alone for a long tiirl’s and that seemed to add to his charm I finally opened my mouth
“How handsome”
“Indeed, you’re handsome”
Al me, Kain Zerahard co that we talked over each other, we both closed our mouth An aard silence descended
… I began to doubt whether Loretta judged people based on their appearance
Soon, he eyed Loretta and spoke briefly
“It’s been a while”
“Yes, it’s been a while”
That was it It must have been centuries froenerous enough to happily watch Loretta talk to her first love, and since Hwaya s even now, I moved the conversation forward
“My comrade… A precious person of le second is inir”
“So you want nir?”
“Yes If you want so as it’s within my ability”
Even as I spoke, I knew in the corner of my mind that he wouldn’t accept this request He had lived in a secret roo a God’s true name I felt like I knehat this meant
Even so, I came to see hi to meet him, I became certain of its usefulness
“I refuse There’s nothing I want”
As expected, he replied instantly
“There’s nothing you want?”
“That’s right Everything I want disappeared long ago, and there’s no way to turn back time”
‘As I thought’ I murmured inwardly As I had heard about him from Loretta and others, I knehat he meant
He was the last survivor of his world In other words, he abandoned his dying world and escaped with the world’s power It had to have been hundreds of years ago”
“You should knohat I ht now?”
“You’re hiding”
“Right, I’”
When was the last tiers
“I lost everything I had to protect and escaped cursing everything As I have no right to live, I’ for death to come take my life Unfortunately, my boundlessfor a long time Perhaps, I’ll have to wait eternally”
“I don’t think I’ll be able to change your ”
Loretta spoke out Her voice was filled with faint anger
“Do you see ? If you help, we can save countless others who are in the same position as you Even just a little bit would have been fine The dungeon always cheered you on, and everyone supported you But you…”
“You don’t understand, Loretta”
“What don’t I understand!? I experienced the sa I wanted to protect! Everyone I wanted to protect! I lost everything that supported s, friends, co me I still don’t understand!?”
“I lost the woman I love, the one person I cared for more than the entire world”
At his cally quiet voice
“Yes, if there was one thing I didn’t understand, it was the feeling of losing a lover Is that why you taught it to me? How kind of you”
“I didn’t want to make Heroes of other worlds face the same reality I did That’s why I accepted Lord’s offer and helped create the dungeon I create pathways to countless worlds being attacked by worlds’ eneht path At first, you were one of them, Kain”
All explorers were indebted to the dungeon There was no doubt about it By entering the dungeon, we obtained the power to resist our eneeon’s power
But Kain holed up in Beyond’s Residential Are with the power he received Si treated Even after hundreds of years, he was the strongest explorer If he joined an ad this time, he could have saved many worlds from ruin
Still
“He’s not obligated to do anything, Loretta No one can force so… Even if Loretta did in the past”
“Yes, I was the one who disappointed myself Because I believed in him, I received more shock when I realized the truth”
Through Kain, Loretta learned that excessive trust only led to her getting hurt
