“Too many people have sacrificed themselves because of us” Isabella spoke with a pained expression: “I saw clergyman Bukittel die in front of me, that personage would definitely not let me go”

“I think you’ve mistaken something!” Chris smiled and shook his head: “I’m not like that fool Bukittel!”

“You…!” Isabella looked at Chris in surprise.

“Bukittel wanted to bring you away because of his faith. He wanted to extend his hands towards anybody that is worth saving, but look at you now, you’ve already given up on yourself, you didn’t deserve Bukittel’s salvation”

“But me, I’m a mercenary who took on a job, bringing you out of here is nothing but a mission. I don’t need to care about your will. It’s fine if you want to be saved, it doesn’t matter if you don’t, I’ll take you out of here regardless”

“After all, Bukittel paid his life as the reward for this job!” Chris turned around to leave and spoke with an exceptionally serious tone: “That is why, I will complete this job regardless of what needs to be done, only then would I live up to the reward that fool paid!”

Isabella looked at Chris as he left, unable to hold back her tears. Her fate had always been full of ups and downs, born as an aristocrat, her family was caught in internal conflict and forced her to escape by herself to the border into a Cauchy village.

She was fortunate to find the love of her life, but he was brutally killed in front of her eyes when she was pregnant. She was forced to give birth to her daughter alone, and struggled to raise her while living under the constant shadow of a devil.

If Isabella wasn’t a strong-willed woman, if she didn’t have her daughter to take care of, if Jacob did not wish for her to live on before he died, she would’ve already gone mad a long time ago.

“Mommy, don’t cry, everything will be over soon” Nala hugged her mother and consoled her.

Two black-robed Crowmen stood outside the window looking down at Isabella and her daughter with cold eyes.

“And here I thought Isabella was already scared to death, now it seems like she once again has the will to escape” one of the black-robed men spoke: “Or perhaps I should say, as expected of the legendary adventurer?”

“From the looks of it, I’ll get a chance to fight with this living legend after all” the other one grinned, apparently very pleased with this result.

“Do it if you want to, Nozades, he’s your idol after all, it was because of his legends that you decided to go adventuring in the first place, yeah?” the other black-robed man headed for Isabella and continued to speak: “Leave Isabella’s side to us, they’re the ones that the Great One ordered us to watch over. Besides this adventurer, there might be others who want to take them away”

“Understood, captain Yadley” Nozades nodded with a serious expression: “Chris was my idol, but with Lord Negary’s blessing, I can definitely defeat him, after all, the greatest respect you can pay to your idol is to defeat them yourself!”

Comoros once again continued to pray, ignoring both Chris and the Crowmen who were about to act. Looking at the holy effigy covered in crows, Comoros could only pray again and again in order to numb himself.

Even though his body was still his own, he understood fully that he didn’t have much time left.
