No matter how astute Karthus was, he could never guess the true meaning behind John's words.
Or rather, what John was referring to was something only he understood.
To everyone else, they were merely participants in a game.
Even guild leaders like Adam and Blue Sea, known for their keen intuition, only occasionally marveled at the astonishing realism of the game Godslayer.
They never contemplated that the world they were inhabiting was, in fact, real.
From the beginning, John's target was Karthus and Kingserp.
Not because of their reprehensible actions within the game; in truth, John wasn't particularly driven by a sense of justice.
He might not actively pursue evil, but he wasn't consumed by a hatred for it either.
His real reason for opposing these two was singular.
It was because they had chosen to align themselves with the chaotic and evil faction represented by the Abyss.
