Chapter 222
The Demon King Valour’s grimoire, the Book of Cold Ashes, finally revealed its power, and an even more potent magic swirled over the ash scattered across the land.
“…You’ve grown a lot.”
Watching that sight, the Shadow Lord sneered coldly. Compared to the day he first revealed that ability in the Fight Club, his growth was beyond comparison.
But Ray Yuris’s growth was not limited to that.
Through the swirling ashes of annihilation, a bitter cold began to seep in.
“…!”
Dale was not one to fail to grasp its meaning.
“I too witnessed ‘The Universe’s Winter’ there.”
The chill of the apocalypse, the most certain proof that the world would end in ice.
Wrapped in that very chill, Ray Yuris raised his head.
“So you’ve finally decided to accept the truth about the end?”
“The truth.”
Dale asked back with a mocking tone. Ray Yuris laughed as if delighted.
Whoosh!
“The empire’s greatest genius, the empire’s greatest talent… Truly a convenient excuse to deceive people.”
Leaving the swirling cold air behind, Ray Yuris spoke. At those words, the Shadow Lord momentarily held his breath.
“You need explain nothing. Those who lack will despair before you, gaze up in awe, blame their own inadequacy, and despair at their lack of talent.”
“What is it you wish to say, Ray Yuris?”
“To be honest, I don’t really know what I’m saying either. I’m just another one of those countless losers who despair in the face of the ‘Black Sage’s talent’ and blame their own lack of ability.”
