The Weight of a Decision

"…That's not what I meant."

For a moment, Jordan was at a loss for words.

Because Great Master Thorne was right.

How else were they supposed to realize the truth?

After everything had already collapsed?

After facing a miserable, inevitable end?

When it was too late to change anything?

"But still…"

Even if it was right, it wasn't easy to accept.

If Great Master Thorne lost his strength—

If he died—

Then Reverse Heaven Unity would lose its greatest pillar.

So far, Aria and Aiden had been able to lead this shadowy organization because their authority had been acknowledged.

Who had given them that authority?

It was none other than Great Master Thorne—

The second greatest figure in the entire martial world, right below the Sword Sovereign Zephyrion Akrest.

But what happened if he was gone?

Jordan didn't want to even imagine it.
