Chapter 228
The old man, who had been focusing on his research, raised his head.
Although his face was hidden by the robe, it was possible to discern where his gaze was directed.
It was towards a small flame placed on the table. Or rather, should it be called a flame that had now died out?
“E-extin-guished?”
Was it because it was a voice he hadn’t used in a long time? It was difficult to understand properly due to its roughness and tearing quality, far beyond being merely hoarse.
It was only understandable because he spoke one syllable at a time, as if punctuating each word. However, unlike his voice, his gaze was chilling.
It meant that the first one he had put so much effort into creating had died.
Something, had come.
Had it appeared as an amusing toy?
Curiosity surged.
“Kuh, heh.”
The robed old man rose to his feet.
He left the laboratory with ceaseless laughter. After glancing once at the masterpiece guarding the entrance, he moved forward again.

His body naturally floated into the air.
He shot off at a rapid speed.
Whoosh.
Soon, he opened the door to the space where Aiges, the symbol of the extinguished flame, had existed.
He despaired when eight Chimera were reverse-summoned after 30 minutes.
He was in despair when all the Armor Knights were destroyed and the Armor Archers and Mages were crushed.
Nevertheless, he didn’t give up and endured alone as much as possible, forcing in damage.
He tried to endure, crossing the limit several times, but when his body staggered and fell to the side.
