Chapter 256
After Jay's casual declaration, he turned and walked away, the long white cloth draped over his shoulders fluttering in the sea breeze. His long black hair whipped behind him like a banner, glistening under the faint sunlight.
The three exhausted heroes could only stand frozen in their tracks, their minds blank with shock. Only a single thought ran wild through their heads:

If they knew—if they truly understood—that Jay wasn't even an awakened, they would have collapsed on the spot in disbelief. For now, all they could do was watch the stranger vanish into the distance, his presence fading into the chaos of war.
Jay's playful smile disappeared the moment he was out of their sight. His expression hardened, his jaw clenched, and his hands tightened into fists.
He had not come here for fun, no matter how casually he had put it. He had come here for vengeance.
The cursed were not simply enemies. To Jay, they were evil incarnate.
