Leon's POV
Now that there was nothing standing between us, it was time for me to face Sesillian. His eyes darted around, wild and desperate, as he backed away.
"There's nowhere left for you to run," I said, my steps slow, deliberate as I closed the distance.
"Khhh...!" Sesillian gritted his teeth, eyes blazing with hate. "Anything and everything—you're always ruining it all. I hate you... I fucking hate you, Mephisto!"
Hate me all you want. It meant nothing to me. That was just another futile emotion. His hatred couldn't reach me, no matter how fiercely he clung to it.
"In fact, I hate you more, Sesillian," I said, my voice steady. "I don't hate just anyone, so consider this a special honor. Tonight, you're going to die here."
