"Vexa. I'm done. I've killed Lucien Mercer."
"Mission accomplished."
There was no response for a few seconds, and Simon could not help but furrow his brows.
Three seconds later...
Vexa spoke.
"We were beginning to get worried. Are you sure he's dead?"
Simon glanced at the ice puppet.
"Yes. His corpse is with me right now."
There was silence for a moment, then Vexa replied.
"Alright. We'll be there any moment from now."
The connection between his Grave Mark and Vexa's Grave Mark ended, and Simon exhaled deeply as the chaos flames on the chaos blade died down.
The moment the chaos flames died down, he suddenly felt like nearly all the energy in his body had been sapped away.
And he knew the reason for this.
'I tried to control it as much as possible, but I ended up using a lot of my soul energy to summon the chaos flames.'
'I need to rest to fully recover my soul energy.'
Simon closed his eyes and exhaled deeply once again.
