Chapter 158

This knife remains in its sheath, not out of mercy or contempt.

It is a secret I refuse to reveal, but as a return gesture...

I will be honest with you!

The Hunt... is not the path I walk.

The blade's resonance rang out,

Huang Quan's blade was drawn!

May death end your long dream...

... and guide you back to the waking world.

The scene from the Eternal Fire Mansion ends here.

March 7th: "So this is... the scene when Miss Huang Quan seized the invitation?"

Truth Doctor: "It's surely no mistake."

Truth Doctor: "After all, the footage is from the Eternal Fire Mansion."

Truth Doctor: "It's the stronghold of the Grand Duke of Dark Flame."

Sang Bo: "Tsk tsk tsk, from the video, this Grand Duke of Dark Flame is quite a man!"

Sang Bo: "Facing death, he remained silent, fearless."

Huang Quan: "I remember now—he was a worthy martyr."

Huang Quan: "Until the moment of death, he upheld the faith of his life."

Diluc: "But that doesn't change the fact that he brought destruction upon others!"

Stelle: "True, he dressed like a gentleman, all refined and proper."

Stelle: "But wasn't he still just a madman?"

Stelle: "His attitude toward martyrdom is unquestionable, but his deeds? There's no redemption for them!"

Botio: "What the hell, this piece of trash actually dares call the Hunt narrow-minded?"

Botio: "I swear to god, if this bastard were still alive, I'd go over there and blow his sheep's head off with a bullet!!"

Botio: "I just laugh—any damn cat or dog can now judge the Hunt."

Truth Doctor: "The destruction the Grand Duke of Dark Flame believed in was merely self-delusion."

Truth Doctor: "Until his death, he never received even a glance from Nanuk."

Truth Doctor: "Or rather, from the start, the destruction he believed in belonged solely to himself... and clearly, it was not pure."

Xi: "All I can say is, such an evil man died far too late."

Xi: "With his mad obsession for destruction, who knows how many lives he ruined!"

Zhong Li: "His dedication to his own Dao is worthy of recognition, but the crimes he committed must be paid for with a terrible price!"

Wen Di: "Eh-heh, hasn't he already paid the price?"

Saino: "Not enough. Letting him die like this feels too lenient."

Fungina: "By the way, aren't you all curious just how powerful Miss Huang Quan's slash was?"

Paimon: "Of course we're curious!"

Paimon: "But... when Miss Huang Quan was about to draw her blade, the footage cut off!"

Silver Wolf: "Sigh, cutting off at the most thrilling moment is really disappointing."

Silver Wolf: "I was hoping to glean some insight into her true strength."

Miss Beidou: "This Grand Duke of Dark Flame had no right to make Miss Huang Quan draw her blade."

Miss Beidou: "From this alone, you can see Miss Huang Quan's true power is beyond imagining."

Silver Wolf: "Correct—when facing Sam, she still didn't draw her blade."

Cafca: "After all, she is an Envoy..."

Cafca: "As long as she doesn't encounter another Envoy, nothing before her can truly be called a threat."

General Jing Yuan: "In my view, Miss Huang Quan's strength among Envoys is also extraordinarily formidable!"

Welt: "General, do your words carry deeper meaning?"

General Jing Yuan: "Hahaha, I won't spoil it."

General Jing Yuan: "Just watch, just watch—and behold death."
