Chapter 284

Lakshasha reet—the feeling of being reduced to afear then that he couldn’t even think of resisting Completely helpless, all he could do was stare at his predator and shake on the ground And when his predator leisurely walked toward hiht, it doesn’t fillas that ti voice

[Killing you is easy and eating you is even easier But…]

[I don’t even see the value in doing that]

He let out a s those words

[This is worrisohts at all Perhaps soed inside me after that time…]

He lamented and went silent for a period, yet the silence didn’t last long After thinking of souess, the predator suddenly asked

[Do you want to live?]

It was an unexpected offer Perhaps the predator ht let him live, and he could survive this Lakshasha nodded instinctively

[Then, youalive]

At the predator’s soft voice, Lakshasha nodded crazily

[Stricken by fear, you seeh I don’t really blame you, I can’t place my trust in you]

The faint ray of hope Lakshasha felt was quickly overshadowed by despair, and a sense of indescribable humiliation and shame crept inside him as his heartbeat fluctuated wildly at every couple of words co from the predator’s mouth

[Let me see…ah, yes]

Another person popped out in front of Lakshasha It was his sister, who had the same fear-stricken face devoid of any self-will and mind like him

[Do you want to save her?]

The predator said

[You want to return hoht?]

Lakshasha nodded—slowly this tirin

A good while after standing alone on the spot, Lakshasha moved his arms around quickly It was his final desperate effort to do so after all his plans turned awry The expedition team remained calm They were already mentally prepared and quickly readied their stance, but they soon stoppedIt was because Lakshasha had stopped first With his arhtest He seerip loosened

His arrow fell to the ground, and he hung his head “…I’ain, “I’htly clenched shut, Lakshasha looked too asha the truth with these actions Emmanuel frowned and dropped the hand that was about to draw his fleuret

“Which parts are the truth, and which parts are the lies?” His tone changed It sounded piercing enough to slash through Lakshasha’s heart

“Rather than that…” Yeriel let out a s lie” There was truth oal of this expedition was to save Lakshasha’s captured companion, but how they would save his coan They weren’t going to fight the king candidate Lakshasha and his teae,” Yeriel clarified “It see back for the price of bringing us to that guy” In other words, Lakshasha had pro

“…” Lakshasha reh of a confirive us your order,” E into his stance Lakshasha appeared to have no will to resist As if he had already accepted his fate, both his ar li Chi-Woo quietly raise his hands There was a good case to instantly kill Lakshasha, but they had to wait? Why?

“There’s one thing I’m curious about” Chi-Woo’s voice sounded an octave lower as he spoke, “Before I get to that, letthis matter I plan to hold you properly responsible for your actions in the future”

Other people in the group nodded in agreeht it was only natural

“So please reply to this question bearing that inintently at Lakshasha, Chi-Woo cleared his throat and asked, “Why did you tell Mr Ru Amuh that he should leave if his injury was too serious?”

The rest of the expedition teaht about it, that was strange

“You said we shouldn’tbecause of you” Lakshasha had told the happened to the tea, and he kept that pro it to keep up the charade, but he had given suggestions that he didn’t need to give Thus, Chi-Woo was curious about Lakshasha’s intention

“What were you planning to do if I decided to return for Mr Ru Aain “I know it sounds unbelievable, but…” He raised his head slowly and opened histo return without resisting…really…”

Chi-Woo had already revealed his intention to punish Lakshasha later and thought Lakshasha would tell the whole truth now, believing everything to be over Considering that, this ansas a bit unexpected

“Why? Why do you say that?”

Lakshasha’s response was a long sigh He was a guide spearheading quite a reputable teaue The fact that his naanization like the Cassiubia League indicated that he had made considerable achievements until noever, his recent encounter with one of the king candidates had paralyzed his ability to think As Yeriel said, he was overco he shouldn’t have; yet that didn’t ue had all disappeared

“…I don’t know” Lakshasha appeared befuddled as he responded “When we first arrived at the beginning of the entrance, the only thing I could think of was saving Lakshi+a, and I thought I could risk everything to bring her back safely…” He had heard the ruht they were exaggerations, and when he heard about how much the humans had risen in ranks, he simply let the information flow froed…after seeing you all fight” The battle at the starting area of the forest gave Lakshasha quite a shock As an archer as acknowledged for his skills in a large league and had a superior intellect thanpeople And in that battle, he got glier they would be, as well as how much more they would do for humanity and beyond that, for Liber And thus, Lakshasha becaht for hiuide them to their deaths

‘Even if I save her like this…will Lakshi+a be happy…?’

No, there was no way Considering her personality, his sister would repri to knohy he hadn’t just let her die Though he wanted to save his sister, he didn’t want to go this far, and Lakshasha felt tormented in this dilemma A part of him hoped that the team would suddenly have a reason to turn back Yes, that hat he wanted…
