Chapter 456: A Guest? Army?
Max could only sigh heavily, the burden of the truth crushing down on him. His heart ached with the enormity of his mistake.
Just then, a thought suddenly crossed Max’s mind, breaking through the heavy atmosphere like a sudden crack of thunder. He narrowed his eyes and asked, voice tinged with suspicion, “It seems like you know everything… then why didn’t you stop me when I was about to remove the sword from the altar? Why didn’t you just, you know, seal that remnant soul before it could cause all this mess? If you had done that, none of this would’ve happened.”
Lucian smiled wryly, a hint of helplessness in his expression. “Max, it’s not that simple,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “I only learned about all of this later—after the humans from the Valora Continent started arriving here. I pieced things together through them and through my own personal research. Before that, I had no real understanding of Mark’s situation.”
Max frowned, still not satisfied. “But couldn’t you have dealt with that remnant soul earlier? Like, way before it grew strong?”
Lucian chuckled lightly, almost as if Max had asked an innocent but foolish question. “Sadly,” he said, looking directly at Max, “I wasn’t born at that time.” He paused meaningfully, then added with a small grin, “I’m the same age as you, Max. I’m sixteen years old.”
What do you think?
