Nick continued to lie, but it had become more difficult after the Knife's interjection.
Originally, Nick had prepared a story where he managed to lure Pride into a cave in a basin, but now, he had to change his story so that she ended up in the mountains.
"That's how I managed to assassinate the Robe," Nick explained.
According to his story, he snuck up from behind, watched as the Robe attacked his servant, found the place where the Specter Core was located, and destroyed it with a devastating attack.
The Shields didn't question a lot.
They knew that Nick was being vague with his powers.
"Do you truly have the power to kill a Mid Demon like that?" the Right Arm asked.
Naturally, Nick had said that the Robe had been a Mid Demon.
"Yes," Nick answered. "In a direct battle, I might lose, but in an assassination, I will most likely win."
This was not a lie.
