The Third Trial: Embracing Humanity

As a beast, she understood his words. Fear was their worst enemy in dangerous situations. Yet, his explanation didn't answer her question entirely.

After all, beasts usually killed to feed or protect their territories. So, why was this human killing them? Was it for pleasure?

Upon reaching that thought, she shivered, Ignatius' mad smile flashing before her eye before she said, "Be careful not to fall too deep into madness. Or you'll become just like that monster."

Her unexpected wise words brought him to a sudden stop.

He had never considered that. What if, one day, he failed to recover and started to enjoy killing? Considering his calculative disposition, it was entirely possible for him to hunt humans instead of beasts to level up. After all, they yielded Xp, too.
