As Alaric's final words fell, Caelus immediately activated Chaos Bolt and erased him from existence.
Caelus stared silently at the pile of dust that had once been Lord Alaric, but something about the noble's final words continued to bother him deeply.
"I'll see you around."
"Next time, you won't be dealing with an Ace-Rank combat score."
"I'll make sure to find you in the Tier 2 world."
Those were definitely not the words of a dying man.
Instead, they sounded like the words of someone who was completely certain that he would survive.
Caelus slowly knelt down and examined the remains more closely. Immediately after, his Chaos Perception Eyes activated, carefully scanning every remaining particle of dust.
What he discovered caused his expression to change.
"So this guy was a clone."
The energy signature was incomplete, almost as if it belonged to a copy created from another copy. The real Lord Alaric was somewhere else entirely.
