Chapter 203: Ire Of A Ruthless, Relentless Immortal Entity

The grudge between Alicarde and Zagarath was brief—so brief, in fact, that some might call it one-sided. Alicarde's obsessive desire to kill the Strigoi stemmed from a singular, scarring encounter. Zagarath had been the first to defeat and humiliate him, reducing him to nothing more than a shadow of his pride.

In that brief clash, Zagarath had scarred Alicarde—not physically, but mentally.

From that moment onward, Alicarde came to associate every form of defeat, even his loss to Wrath, with Zagarath. In his mind, all his pain, anguish, and despair could be traced back to the Strigoi.

Whether or not this belief held any truth, Carrisa did not know. All she understood was that Alicarde bore a knot in his heart, a wound that only Zagarath's death could untangle.

While most would cower before the source of their trauma, Alicarde was different. He sought to hunt it down and extinguish it, no matter the cost.
