An Extra’s POV

[Moments Later]

"Horrible! You're so horrible!"

"You really killed them? How disgusting! What a beast you are!"

"How could you do such a terrible thing?!"

Rey was met with reproach from the Elves the moment he stepped inside the barrier, causing his previously good mood to sour instantly.

'The hell...?' He clenched his teeth as he stared at them with stifled annoyance.

Ater had indeed informed him of the culture of the Elves and their no-kill policy. No matter how dire the situation was, Elves would never take another life.

It was a crime against Nature.

They viewed those who engaged in this act to be nothing more than beasts, so humans and the other races fell under this category. The only lives they were commanded to take were those of the Dragons, and the only reason they did so was because it was a declaration from the Oracle.

Everyone obeyed--no matter their disposition.

However, the Monsters that Rey mercilessly slaughtered weren't Dragons. They were an integral part of Nature, and he just prematurely deprived them of their lives.

In Elven Culture, that was unacceptable.

"They would have killed you, perhaps even me, if I didn't strike back. Yet you wanted me to spare them?"

"YES!"

Rey's quizzical expression only grew worse as he was further plunged into annoyance.

"Why?"

"Because Nature ought to be preserved. Those Monsters are unintelligent, like babies, so they have no real idea what they're doing. As the intelligent ones, it is our responsibility to be better."

"The fuck...?" Rey couldn't help but strongly disagree.

"So your excuse for not trying to kill the Monsters who would not hesitate to devour you, if given the chance, is that they don't know any better?"

"I-INDEED!"
