Mark of the Seven Sins: The Armor of Pride

Ivor listened to what Eren had to say with extreme focus. He looked down and started pondering every piece of advice he received from Eren.

"Those who inflict pain must have the courage to bear it as well."

Ivor mumbled Eren's statement a few more times before clenching his grip on his daggers. He felt as if Eren's words were the missing pieces he needed to fully utilize his Ability.

The Ability he had gained from Purgatory.

Just one move from Eren made Ivor realize something else too. He didn't want to hold anything back against Eren anymore. He didn't have the luxury of doing so.

Ivor closed his eyes and stabilized his breathing briefly. His eyes shone with newfound vigor when he opened them.

"I haven't said this to anyone in a long while but thanks for responding to my wishes, Eren. I realized that I was asking for too much when I requested you to go all out on me while trying to save my Aces.

I'll face you with all my strength as well."
