Chapter 1140: First Born [Bonus]

[Big Thanks to Niceee9842 <3]

Cassarae felt as though her entire being had entered her blade, as though a power extending from her heart itself was connecting with its rage. She felt strength the likes of which she had never touched before.

But at the same time, there was an annoying, nagging feeling, as though she was missing something.

It was a feeling that Sylas had experienced before. Notifications flashed on the edges of her peripheral vision, reminding her that she didn’t have the slots to gain a second Comprehension... let alone a third one.

However, the reminder fell on deaf ears and blind eyes. She, her blade, and the enemy before her were the only things she cared about. She would have sacrificed any and everything for this strike to fall.

Maybe if she was of her right mind, she wouldn’t feel such a way. But the truth was that she was of no mind at all right now. Her entire being could be summarized with just a single word.

It was no longer Kill.

It was Execute.

To Kill might involve danger. It might require a fight, a struggle, a murder of some sort—whether in the third degree or the first. However, an Execution was different.

It was a judgment. The decision was final, a mark of a Will that stood above, capable of deciding the life and death of the person it was cast upon.

An Execution couldn’t be struggled against, it couldn’t be changed—it was Final.

And when an Executioner swung their blade...

Heads fell.

Matriarch Valeria found herself sliced in two, Cassarae’s wrists shattering the moment her blade collided with the frame of the wheelchair the former sat on. And yet, it might as well have been a papercut in her present state of mind.

Her roar was the only thing that echoed in her ears—the slice from Matriarch Valeria’s left shoulder, down her collarbone, through her heart, and out her hip consuming her sapphire gaze.

High above, the All-Seeing Eye appeared again, flashing continuously as though it was trying to decide something once again. But its waning energy suddenly became a hindrance once more.

And then it sensed the system.
