"Hmm," Igula said calmly, "I've actually prepared several plans to deal with you."
Ash was a bit surprised: "I thought you guys would come and help me."
"I would like to join you, but didn't you say before that if you turned bad, you'd want us to stop you?" Harvey said, "You might become an Evil Mage, either becoming an extension of the Gods of Four Pillars or being controlled by someone's contract."
"If you're not you, I would definitely stop you," the Swindler said, "If you are still you, you would definitely beg me to stop you."
"Makes sense." Ash nodded, looking at Black Crow and answered directly, "I understand, you mean to kill me, right?"
"No," Black Crow shook his head, "If it's not your own will, I'll stop you."
"Then... what if it is my will?" Ash blinked, swallowing.
"I would help you."
Not only Ash and a few others, but even Gwen, who hadn't spoken all along, couldn't help but look over.
