Genevieve stood frozen in shock. She swallowed hard, mustering the courage to ask Valeriazar the question that plagued her mind.
"W-What have you done?" she whispered, her voice trembling furiously.
She took a tentative step forward, her gaze fixated on the mangled remnants of Merlin's body.
Valeriazar turned towards Genevieve, a sly smirk of satisfaction crafted on his countenance.
"Oh?" he responded, tauntingly. "I simply did as I was told. And I believe I won that bet, by a long shot... however, my meal's a mess now."
Fanatio's hand trembled on the hilt of her sword. However, she was able to contain her anguish and disgust.
Ress' face paled as his hand covered his mouth. He was fighting back the urge to vomit at the sight before him. His voice wavered as he managed to utter a single word amidst the horror. "S-Sick..."
"This guy's an... absolute maniac!" Garret gritted his teeth.
