King Of Limbo-238 Chapter 236

The loss of her grandfather and grandmother, who all loved her and spoilt her, also caused Anastasia to experience tears streaming down her face.

They might not have been the best in the view of others, but she cared a great deal about them.

How dare you! Esmeralda focused her attention on the one who decided to sacrifice the helpless members of humanity. Victoria.

"Ez, stop!" Despite his own intense wrath, Henry, who was grieving inside, held the young woman back.

"Henry, don't you dare try to step in! She killed off our families and selfishly lived! Why couldn't it be you and not them!" Victoria didn't respond when Esmeralda sobbed because she believed she had no right to defend herself.

"Then my mother and sister… are they alive? They were normal individuals without any training." In a panic, Lucas enquired as well.

"They may have but it's unsure, even if they lived here Limbo isn't a place people like them would live long. In these days that have passed I have no idea what has become of those who passed through this gate." The boy was really concerned after hearing her honest response. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

"Grandmother, it's not your fault! It's his, all this happened because of Aron!" Brutas defended the perpetrator and assigned responsibility for the incident.

"He's right… this must've been all planned by him." A fatigued Anastasia offered her assistance.

Even if fighting him now resulted in her death, she didn't care because she had already suffered so much. She wanted to see him pay…

"He's someone who only cares for himself, I don't believe there wasn't a way everyone could have been saved." Lucas clenched his teeth firmly.

Despite some sense of relief, he harbored a deep hatred for Aron because of the fact that his mother and sister were left alone in a strange land as a result of him.

He couldn't help but be concerned about what could happen to them.

"Enough!"

Victoria felt worse despite the fact that their statements were meant to be supportive and urged them to stop.

"What happened couldn't be avoided. If it wasn't for Aron then the number of casualties would have been so much more, it's thanks to him that humanity wasn't completely annihilated…."

"...if it had been the prior emperor, innocent people would have died, and the greedy upper brass would have brought about our demise."

Victoria couldn't reject the facts due to emotion, even if she wasn't proud to defend the man who had slain so many people she cared about.

As for the children infront of her? Just children, that's all they were. She believed that their emotional and irrational behavior was normal, but since Aron was their intended target, she wanted to put a stop to them before they ended their own lives.

Juliet, who had had enough, started to walk toward the gateway in preparation to depart before she even had a chance to speak.

Her face revealed considerable tiredness, and her body was covered in cuts and scars. She appeared to be straining herself just to stand up straight.

"Do you not care?"

Esmeralda, who was still furious, turned to Juliet, who had stopped just in front of the gate.

"Why should it matter to me if you want to kill yourselves? The only reason you all live till now is because Aron has never seen you as a threat, the moment that changes will be the day you all die."

After speaking gently for a brief period, Juliet walked straight through the gate.

They were all concerned after hearing her words, which also partially subdued their rage. Who cares if they were incensed? Did that imply that they would automatically get stronger and confront him? No, the truth wasn't that kind.

"I'll find a way… I swear I'll find a way to make Aron pay."

The next to run through the gate without pausing was Lucas, who felt that his life would be meaningless if his mother and sister died.

In his perspective, these were all that was left of his ambition to create an equitable world for Pesia after Aron stole it. In times like these humans would always find something to blame for their misfortune, it just so happened Aron was perfect for that role.

"Will you chose to do the same." When Victoria saw Lucas hurry past her, she sighed but made no effort to stop them since she believed she had no right to.

Her previously confident manner was vanished, leaving just a worn-out look in her eyes. Why strive to manage something that she was close to losing control of?

Before dedicating the remainder of her life to assist humanity in any way she could, she merely wanted to pass on her words.

"Are you all going to make the same choice?" As those behind them would undoubtedly follow, she questioned the remaining group.

Before responding, Henry took a moment to glance at the other people he had known since he was a little child.

He could see the same raging hatred in their eyes that he was feeling, thus the solution was obvious.

"I don't think we can ever live normal lives again unless we confront Aron. In our eyes, Lady Victoria, you did not commit the murder of our parents; rather, you served as his instrument of choice. I wish you all the best."

Before passing her and going through the portal, Henry spoke in a stern voice, and the others then did so one by one.

The majority of the third generation survivors were now eager to track down Aron and make him pay.

…

Aron, the individual in issue, had long since returned to the woodland from the open valley at this point.

He was completely naked and had returned to his natural humanoid form as he made his way through the foreboding woods.

He had chosen to travel along a path that was close to a canal because he needed to wash any fragrance from his body in case reinforcements had arrived at the scene before he left and had decided to pursue him.

Hm~ Hm~

He could hear a calm, musical humming coming from not too far ahead as he was going. He briefly became attentive before realizing there was no danger.

He passed some heavy plants and came to the portion of the canal where the humming came from.

Woosh~

As soon as he did that, something sped up and arrived in front of him.

It was Lady Rose's scouter…

"Oh, so it's you. Mind joining and telling me how it went?" 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

The voice, which could only be Rose's, said this, causing the melodic humming to stop.

Following the shrubs and a few stones, Aron eventually came into Rose absolutely naked in a man-made pool of water created by the boulders.

"Will you not be entering?" She inquired with her eyes closed and her head tilted back, which caused Aron to raise an eyebrow as he entered the water.

"I believed this was some type of personal space since you dislike physical contact." He responded before taking a seat in the water opposite to Rose.

"It's bold of you to presume that I don't like it, but we're not here to talk about my nature. By all means, enlighten me on how your your trip went." She answered.

Just like that, Aron gave her a detailed account of what had happened since she preferred it that way.

She then went on to inform Aron of the insignificant progress Jin and Jagu had made, while Evanora continued to act aloof as usual.

"And you, too? you didn't include what you had been doing." After observing that she stopped without concealing herself, Aron continued.

"Oh? I didn't believe you would be intrigued. I've done nothing except wait for your return in anticipation for what knowledge you'll share with me next."

She looked sincere in her response, so Aron decided not to press the issue further. After a little pause, Rose resumed her speech.

"From your instructions thus far, I can infer that you don't just wish to get stronger; it's uncharacteristic of you to act in a purposeful manner. As to what that reason is I cannot imagine no matter how hard I think about it."

When Rose at last opened her starry black eyes, she gave Aron a chilly stare that lacked both kindness and hate.

"The cause? Really, all I'm looking for right now is a free means to get around Limbo. Getting adequate strength is only a means."

When she heard the response, Lady Rose smiled a little. "You stated for now; what follows?"

That question prompted Aron to emerge from the water, and he grinned at Rose.

"One step at a time Rose, anyway it's about time we discuss what strength you'll be developing."

Rose grinned back and stood up close to the water without even attempting to cover up her wet, curvy body.

"I look forward to it."
