Laogushi Finally Snaps

Aglaea's words made Anaxa look at her in surprise. Was it his imagination, or had this woman become more human?

"Hm? What's gotten into you, woman? Why do I feel like you've changed so much? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Anaxa's words made veins bulge on Aglaea's forehead.

"I am not ill. Why would I take medicine?"

"And you, Mr. Earth Beast—I heard you tormented yourself so badly that you nearly died in the Grove of Epiphany. Did Thanatos send you back because he found your Earth Beast stench too strong?"

Aglaea answered Anaxa with a sharp question of her own.

"Heh, looks like I was right. Something strange has happened to you, woman. You wouldn't have clashed with me like this before."

"Now, back to business. How do you plan to deal with this Flame Reaver?"

"As far as I know, Phainon himself said that he was responsible for the destruction of his hometown, Ailishi!"

Anaxa had no kind expression for the Flame Reaver either. After all, he had nearly been killed by him...

"..."

The Flame Reaver silently looked at Anaxa, guilt flashing through his golden eyes beneath the mask.

"I did this only to stop the Journey of the Fire, stop all of you, and return the Core Flame..."

The Flame Reaver explained everything to them word by word. For most of the past thousand years, he had been asleep, waiting for the Chrysos Heirs to be born so he could stop them from returning the Core Flame.

"So this Flame Reaver who nearly hacked me to death had his reasons. As for why you want to stop us from returning the Core Flame, can you explain it plainly?"

Listening to the Flame Reaver's solemn words, Anaxa could tell that he definitely knew many shocking truths.
