The noisy forest regained its silence once more.
Lynch stood at the edge of the forest, staring in shock at the alchemy man in the distance.
Is this guy Grant?
Grant Gwodis, the Great Knight? The hero of the Ramos Duchy?
But...
Wasn't he dead?
Why is he alive, and why does he look like this?
A series of doubts surged back and forth in Lynch's mind. The message Barton gave before his death was simply too startling.
Alchemy man... No, Grant.
After killing Barton, Grant stood dumbfounded at the spot for a while, looking like a lifeless machine, staring blankly at the blood and flesh explosion that Barton had become in his hands.
After some time passed.
"Click! Click!"
The sound of mechanical movement emerged as he withdrew his arm and walked away indifferently.
Lynch gazed at the departing figure and let out a sigh of relief.
'Thank goodness…'
