Chapter 61
Can a wraith feel pain?
Many scholars have researched this over the years, but the truth has rarely been revealed.
Wraiths are beings composed of stubbornness and desire, existing only to lure humans toward death.
The conclusion, simply put, is that wraiths do feel pain.
While they are indifferent to ordinary attacks, they suffer a level of agony incomparable to physical pain when struck by attacks that damage the soul.
[S-Stop.]
Vidnac, his limbs and face shredded, was begging Khal for mercy.
Crunch!
[Aaaaaagh!]
Khal didn’t even pretend to listen as he thrust his sword into Vidnac’s back.
‘It looks like the farewell is over.’
He stopped stabbing the sword upon seeing Vegenue, who was sobbing nearby.
“It’s about time for it to open.”
[O-Open? Just how much do you know—]
The moment Vidnac looked up in shock.
A powerful force, accompanied by a strange whistling wind from the cracks in the rift, began to suck in Vegenue and the wraiths.
[Gaaaaaah!]
[Save me! I don’t want to go there, of all places!]
Realizing the gates of Hell had opened, the wraiths struggled desperately.
[Skreeeeee!]
However, they were helpless before such overwhelming power.
The same held true for Vidnac.
To resist the suction, he released cords of Malice from his body and lashed them around nearby rocks and trees.
[Aaaaaagh! Why me too?! I was chosen as the gatekeeper!]
Khal swept his hair back from his forehead and answered Vidnac’s question with a sneer.
“The only reason you became the gatekeeper was because you were strong enough to lead the wraiths. You weren’t given that role based on the quality of your character.”
