"WHHHATTT?!" Finn shouted in disbelief.
Ardin just looked at him. "What did you expect? To make my own ally betray me, and even try to turn my own people against me. Despicable."
"You can't kill me! I am a literal goddess!" Majestria shouted, angrier than before.
"And she is a delusional heretic!" another voice from the mob roared.
Any small doubt the townsfolk had wavered instantly vanished after Majestria's words.
"Damn it, Majestria!" Finn barked.
"This is why I always hated this town, the people here, and my underpaying job," Elise muttered flatly, sounding more exhausted than afraid.
Ardin stepped forward, his gaze never leaving Finn. "It was never that hard, Finn. You could have simply minded your own business. But you didn't. You always had to interfere with my quests—always getting in the way of the Hero."
Finn shook his head, seeing nothing but delusion carved into this man's face.
