Envi's POV:
"What the hell is this?! You think you can just toy with Nao and kill him over and over again with that damn [Annihilation Loop]?! Nao is mine to mess with—not yours!" I roared, my voice dripping with rage.
No matter how much I looked at it, Nao had done nothing wrong.
He was just some random kid from Earth, thrown into this world to replace that failure of a hero, Naoki.
Yet fate had been nothing but cruel to him.
Battle after battle, he kept getting crushed—his body shattered, his mind pushed to the brink of insanity, and worst of all, his very soul was breaking apart.
And yet… he never surrendered.
Even when [Power of Incarnation] wasn't active, even when he was trapped in that endless loop of suffering, he still clung to hope. He never let go.
I wanted to fight in his place.
I wanted to rip Vaelgorath apart with my own hands.
But I couldn't.
Nao's soul was breaking.
