Chapter 186: Kingdom of Mortals (part 2)

The strange voice proposed a bet to the mage. He gave a curious look, and the voice giggled.

[Now, will they become the downfall of this world or not?]

The mage thought about it and answered with certainty.

[No, they'll be the ones who'll forge a new path for the world that's already on its way to self-destruction]

The strange voice laughed mechanically, and its presence bore down on the mage.

[Hmm, hmm, then I shall say that they'll be the downfall of the world! Splendid, this'll be the easiest bet I ever won]

A vein popped on the mage's forehead, and he glared.

[Since it's a wager, there shall be stakes. If you win Theia. I shall serve you, and see that every whim is fulfilled]

The strange voice didn't speak for a while, but the entire building shuddered.

[Yes, yes! Then, if you win, I'll submit to you as my eternal master!] 

The mage smirked, and the strange voice disappeared.
