'Curious… he isn't fighting back.'
I thought, realizing that Gravis hadn't summoned lightning even though I had already brought him to the brink of death several times along the way.
'Did he finally feel guilty for what he did and is allowing himself to be punished?'
For a moment, my heart softened. But as if in response to that thought, Gravis said,
"Truly a selfish bastard who values some random woman he met on the road more than his own blood."
Needless to say, he was immediately sent flying deep into the forest.
'He didn't regret anything at all. The doubts just keep piling up.'
Soon, we approached a castle carved into metallic black rock. It was vast and imposing, more reminiscent of a king's castle than that of a mere noble.
"Lightning Tiger doesn't seem ordinary," I said to Raiden, who chuckled softly.
"It's a house guarded by a tiger. In what world would we be ordinary? Other nobles should at the very least kneel and lick our shoes when they see us."
