In fact, in Carl's opinion, although he and Ian had engaged in a challenge twice, both were simple competitions.
He didn't think he had done anything to Ian to make him try to kill him, although he did hate this guy and wouldn't mind doing the same if the situation allowed.
After all, he did use an array around this place, trying to sabotage him if he ever showed up; although that didn't work.
"Hm? Do I need a reason to kill you?"
Ian was mumbling something as if annoyed while grabbing the Chalice and mana ring from the severed hand when he heard Carl's words, causing him to be confused.
"Hm... if I have to give a reason, I just don't like your existence. But I have to say, you're just like a cockroach, difficult to kill. And... you've got a good helper too."
Ian replied while looking at the Soul ring on his remaining arm, annoyed that even after using his invisible form and catching Carl off guard, he still couldn't kill him.
