"Why..."
His whisper was quiet, but the dark apparition seemed to have heard him.
The Lord of Shadow turned the chilling gaze of his lightless eyes in Karna's direction. Knowing that there was no sense in trying to avoid attention anymore, Karna gritted his teeth.
"Why did you spare us?!"
The fiend stared at him silently for a while, then chuckled.
His voice was cold and arrogant:
"...Because Changing Star asked me to show mercy today."
The Lord of Shadow grew quiet for a moment, then let out a regretful sigh.
"It's such a shame. Usually, I love nothing more than slaying humans. How unfortunate... ah, I'm in a terrible mood."
With that, he continued to hum his lively tune and walked away.
