The assailant's sword penetrated Jason's heart.
But he did not take any further action.
After all, even for the "Abrasion Society," pursuing "torturing the flesh to achieve spiritual transcendence," it was impossible to stay alive after the heart shattered.
Unless…
One attained the complete "Divine Grace."
However,
that was too difficult.
So difficult that, since the old Federation, only one person had accomplished it.
And that person naturally returned to the 'God's embrace.
That was also the ultimate pursuit of the "Abrasion Society."
He was still far from it.
So were the others.
So, he didn't believe that someone who wasn't part of the "Abrasion Society" could reach that level.
He released the hilt of the sword.
Before Jason slumped to the ground, the assailant grabbed the collar of Jason's clothes and then pulled Jason in front of him.
"Let's see who you really are!"
As he spoke, he tore off Jason's hockey mask.
