An Extra’s POV

"… And that's where we stand now."

As Rey listened to Ater's full report, he found himself blown away by all he heard.

Not only was he pleasantly surprised, but he was also shocked by just how much Ater knew and how many steps he had taken on his own.

'I never even told him about my [Doppel], yet he figured it out on his own.'

Thanks to that, he was able to preserve the dead bodies of the important players that he killed—all so Rey. Oils copy their Skills later.

"Great job, Ater! You even went ahead and took action regarding the investigation of the vermin in the Alliance."

After seeing the names on those packets of meat, Rey knew that a lot of people—if they could even be called that—would have to be purged from the Alliance.

It was the best route to take.

"I will acquire all those names from the Royal Council's inventory and inform the Shadow Slaves to investigate and execute them."

Rey smiled and nodded at Ater, pleased to have such an autonomous and intelligent person by his side.

'Should I have sent him to the Dark Gathering while I stayed in the Capital instead?' Rey smiled internally.

He wondered how different things would have been if Adrien had to deal with Ater and not him.

'Would he have been able to locate Adrien's real body and capture him?'

It was all speculative anyway, so there's no need to think too deeply about their matchup.

'Maybe next time, then.' Rey mused, and he furthered his discussion with Ater on other matters.

'I'm surprised he was even able to turn them all into Undead. That's not a part of his Skills, so… ah, he must have shapeshifted and used the Skill of the Claudius guy…'

Rey realized that Ater probably didn't need to preserve their corpses for him since he could just copy them directly from him.
