"You're stronger than I thought," Morris said, patting Karsha on the shoulder as they moved a few meters away from the bandit hideout.
"Heh, you haven't seen anything yet," Karsha chuckled. He had come a long way from his former, bony self who'd once struggled to kill a single Tier 5 Lesser Mutant. Now, without lifting a finger, he'd killed two Sages.
"I guess the prophecy is true; you are indeed the Annihilator," Morris said, bowing slightly. Karsha just shrugged.
"It's only a title, Morris. You're a Shadow Guard, which means you protect your kind. My role is the same: to protect the innocent and eliminate scum."
His words moved Morris, but seeing the aloof expression Karsha wore, he held back any further comments.
"So, will you be rejoining the Shadow Guards when you return?" Karsha asked. Morris had originally been the group's assassin, but after he disappeared, Ayarr took his place. Now that he was returning, Karsha was curious.
