Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked at all of this with an even expression. 'The Sect Alliance is truly beyond saving. The minority of disgusting, selfish people have the entire Sect Alliance in control. Even if I wanted to waste my time by slowly investigating the entire Sect Alliance, I still wouldn't be able to root out all of them.'

'The fact that Arthur was able to influence the entire Sect Alliance with such a flimsy reason showed as much. What protecting the Sect Alliance? What playing favorites? All of this is nonsense that has no bearing on the greater picture. This entire reasoning only relies on status and on feeling superior to others.'

Liran slowly lifted his head and looked at the three Sect Masters in front of him.

He didn't care anymore.

He had lost everything.

So what if he died today?

Liran didn't resist.

"One life is not enough to pay for your crimes," one of the three said. "You will pay for your crimes in your next life too. However, I'm not a monster. I still wish you peace on your journey."

Then, that Sect Master flew closer and unleashed a wave of darkness with his two daggers.

The wave closed in on Liran, and Liran only looked at it.

CLANK!

"How dare you resist your just punishment!?" the other Sect Master shouted.

Liran had taken out his bow and had blocked the attack.

Liran's expression had changed.

He no longer had a weak and self-loathing expression on his face.

What expression did he wear now?

Rage? Hatred?

No.

It was fear.

Liran was deathly afraid.

"I… I can't die!" he said more to himself than to others.

Liran had wanted to give up his life, but as soon as the enemy had attacked, his survival instincts kicked in.

He didn't want to die!

He wanted to live!

He was afraid of dying!

Arthur only sneered and also shot forward with his saber. "There's no saving a sinner like him. Just get it over with."
