Chapter 84 – I get it.
Thud.
Ethan hit the ground.
His eyes, ears, and mouth were bleeding massively.
For a moment, he just lay there, mind struggling to process what had just happened.
That's how unexpected it was.
He never, not even for a second, thought that the spear stuck inside Seravax could be sentient—that it could possess a will of its own.
And if it had a will, of course it wouldn't tolerate being pulled out so easily.
But none of that crossed Ethan's mind.
To him, the Stage-4 Rank Barrier wrapped around his body was enough to deal with anything in this place.
And that?
That was arrogance.
But was it really surprising?
Not at all.
Ethan had grown arrogant with time not because he deliberately chose to, but because that's what happens when you hold too much power for too long.
Because honestly, if you had the power Ethan had, the power to obtain anything as long as you had the points to buy it, wouldn't you be arrogant too?
