『That doesn’t make any sense…!』

“Why do you think ittone

He took advantage of the Tower systeed to achieve it after controlling his thoughts and using up all the karma he had acquired up to that point

“I’m not sure if you’ll believe me, but you who saved me from myself”

Nocturne wanted to shout at the Martial King to stop spewing nonsense He also wanted to shout that he did not believe what the Martial King was saying He wanted to shout that everything the Martial King had done for him was based on a lie However, Nocturne reentle s’s attacksuttered was the truth

『You can’t just erase your past sins by saying that…!』

“No, I can’t My intentions were impure, and I hid the facts from you So… I’m sorry”
