Theron walked into the Fourth Level calmly, his breathing having returned to normal.
He didn't like to lose control of his temper. Honestly, he couldn't remember many instances of having done so. The last time…
He remembered a memory from his third day in the Daggers of the Night camp. It wasn't something he liked to recall… Something that reminded him of how cold he could be when he stopped caring.
The weight of living for something other than yourself sounded nice, but it was also that weight that sank you to the bottom of an abyss. He was smart enough to be aware of it, but uncaring enough to disregard it.
Whether he truly became a monster or not…
Theron shook his head, his focus returning.
He hadn't just come to the Fourth Level to goad Thessa. So after he defeated her, he went straight to complete his Mana Control exam and continued up.
It just so happened that this would be a nice cover for his actions.
