Damien sucked in a deep breath after reading Alex's existence.
It was a truly sad life he led. One where he was never able to accomplish anything he truly desired, and where he only felt suffering without any light at the end.
He'd been rotting away in this cave for millions of years. It didn't seem like he was using mana to keep himself alive either, so he was probably trying to kill himself before he sensed Dante's aura from Damien.
He was a traitor, but he wasn't a traitor.
Damien couldn't imagine how he'd feel if he was forced to betray his allies while trapped in his own mind.
He would've raged. He would've done everything possible to rid himself of the parasitic existence.
Because of his fortune, he would eventually be able to bring himself out of that predicament.
No, in the first place, the Void would never allow that predicament to occur in the first place.
But Alex didn't have the Void supporting him.
