Chapter 69: Requiem for the Heart: Requiem of a Dream

The crowd, startled by Purgus' outburst, turned their attention to him. Some gasped in shock, while others watched with morbid curiosity. King Howl, his twisted smile fading, turned his gaze towards Purgus, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.

Purgus screamed,"YOU! FUCKING! MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU?! WENDY DIDN'T DESERVE THIS! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THIS!!! YOU DID THIS TO ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS! A CELESTION! YOU SHOWED HER NO MERCY! WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THAT?!"

Your screams of despair only bring me more joy. Did you really think I was going to 'pardon' you for your crimes if you managed to win without killing your opponent?! Oh no…THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SUFFERING!"
