The Barbarian King’s Wish

After Zac blasted Saturio away with his final attack, he walked all the way to the place where the barbarian landed, finding the man lying on his back and looking up into the dark sky with a satisfied expression.

Saturio had a hole in his chest, half of his face had been burnt, and he was missing his entire left arm.

"Are you satisfied now?" Zac asked.

"I am… I couldn't have asked for a more fitting ending," Saturio replied, his voice weakened and devoid of the excitement from before.

"I only wish this was my last death…" Saturio continued.

Zac glanced at the man with a bit of confusion, making Saturio chuckle and choke on his own blood.

"As long as Netherius lives, he will keep bringing me back…" The barbarian clarified.

"But I'm done with my search," he continued.

Zac understood that Saturio didn't want to keep living as a Death Knight under Netherius, but he was still confused about his motives.
