Chapter 1958 Contrast
"…Kane." Rui's voice was detached.
Devoid of any emotion.
It was as though he simply uttered the word instead of greeting a friend.
Raw terror erupted from within his soul.
Kane's face grew horrified at what he saw. Gone were the eyes lit with enthusiasm, excitement, and ecstasy. Where once would have been unyielding joy at having finally inherited priceless knowledge that would have revolutionized his Flowing Void Style against the Beast Domain, was…emptiness. It was like he was looking at a corpse.
The Rui that Kane knew would have been beaming with energy, eager to test out his new power against various beasts and monsters.
Yet the man sitting before him was different.
He was detached.
His eyes were cold, devoid of the warmth that once was there.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
His tone was chilling.
It startled Kane.
Yet there was an ounce of sincerity, cold as it was.
It was as though he couldn't see why Kane would react the way he would.
Kane stared at him, his expression growing grave.
"…How do you feel?"
His eyes sharpened to slits as a smile appeared on his face.
A cold smile.
"I feel incredible."
In any other circumstance, Kane would have heaved a sigh of relief, cracked a few jokes, and moved on.
Yet he couldn't move.
He was frozen.
Frozen in horror.
