Endless Torment

Words hold a very magical power.

For Karya, using words to disrupt enemies during battle had almost become his instinct.

Provoking enemies before a battle to make them lose their minds, babbling nonsense during a battle to disrupt their rhythm, and driving home the killing blow after a battle to expand victory – these were all Karya's specialties.

In this space hidden by Zilean, Karya finally saw Azir's sarcophagus.

That's right, Azir was currently placed within a magnificent sarcophagus, and the more Karya
