Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

Even though he knew he would soon face death, he felt no fear whatsoever.

He felt that even if he was about to die, he had to buy his son a few more moments to increase his chances of escaping.

For Kripps, there were two things he always regretted.

First, he failed to become a Knight of Favonius; second, he never gained the approval of the gods to obtain the Eye of God.

Although he could never achieve these two regrettable things, Kripps saw the continuation of his wishes in his son.

His son was an outstanding person who not only joined the Knights of Favonius and became a knight, but also gained the approval of the gods and possessed the Eye of God. He saw his life's wish and ideal in his son.

His son shouldn't have died here, much less stay in this world of the dead with him.

He deserves a brighter future and a better life, instead of staying in this place.

He knew that his son would never abandon him, so he deliberately lied to him, telling him that once he escaped, someone would come back to rescue him.

In fact, when he made this decision, he never considered that he would be able to go back alive.

Rather than leaving his son in this world like him, he preferred to use white lies to protect his son, even if the son might hate him for it when he learned the truth.

He also hoped that his son could live and return to where he belonged.

"Cough cough...cough..."

Kripps, who forcibly drew power from the Evil Eye, squeezed and ravaged his body to extract the last bit of strength, allowing him, who was already weak, to barely stand.

Gazing at the "Doctor," whose superhuman figure resembled a god at the end of that darkness, and the evil dragon humbly crawling at his feet.

Kripps didn't think he could defeat his opponent with the power of his Evil Eye; his thinking was simple.

He simply wanted to stall the "Doctor" in front of him as long as possible.

Seeing Kripps, who was trying to stop him even with his battered and tattered body, "Doctor" looked at the man in front of him who was willing to risk his life to let his son escape.

The "Doctor," having turned his gaze away from Diluc's fleeing figure, smiled slightly as he observed the unusual changes occurring on Cripps, which piqued his interest.

The Doctor witnessed everything between Kripps and Diluc, and grinned as he looked at Kripps.

"Although I don't like mice that steal my things, you and your son have proven to me that you two are indeed a pair of interesting lab rats."

"Originally, I planned to get rid of you two directly, but I've changed my mind. If you can give me some interesting experimental data, then I might be willing to let you go."

Faced with the "Doctor's" superhuman demeanor, which looked down on everything as if they were ants and toys, and his arrogant, godlike attitude, Kripps gave his own answer while coughing up blood.

"Then I can only thank 'Doctor' here... But a person's life can sometimes be changed in a single moment, and I still believe that my son can complete the task I've entrusted to him."

"You made the wrong choice."

After receiving Kripps's answer, "Doctor" gently shook his head and coldly watched his figure, as if sighing at Kripps's foolish choice.

Kripps neither confirmed nor denied the "Doctor's" assessment.

"This is my choice, and I still believe that the world will not let down those who hold onto their beliefs."

Having stated his answer, Kripps provided his response and directly demonstrated his will through his actions.

He squeezed the last bit of life force from his body through the Evil Eye, and then an incredibly powerful and terrifying force erupted from his body.

The power and the intense heat it emitted instantly evaporated the rainwater within a radius of tens of meters, and even the air itself was distorted by this terrifying heat.

The flames that suddenly ignited transformed into countless black flame chains on his body, surging out wildly and relentlessly attacking the direction where "Doctor" was located.

Seeing the countless black flame chains relentlessly attacking him, the "Doctor" revealed a hint of disdain and indifference in his eyes regarding this seemingly powerful attack.

"You've probably forgotten that all the power you possess and use was created by me. To actually try and use the power I created against me, that's truly..."

"Fool!"

As soon as the "Doctor" finished speaking, the terrifying dragon that had been subservient to the "Doctor" seemed to have received some kind of command.

Seeing the countless chains hurtling towards this direction, the monstrous beast with its twisted face opened its blood-red maw and, revealing its ferocious appearance, charged fiercely towards the direction where Kripps was.

Although this seemingly insignificant beast, which appeared to be subservient to the "Doctor," revealed its true nature, along with an almost suffocating despair and immense power, after receiving the "Doctor's" command.

The terrifying black flame chains, burning fiercely, were instantly torn apart by the monstrous beast, making Kripps realize at that moment what absolute disparity and despair truly meant.

Just before being completely devoured by that terrifying, monstrous beast.

This was the thought that was in Kripps' mind.

"puff--"

That was the sound of a body being pierced by a sharp object.

The moment the dragon's claws and abyssal maw opened, the outcome was already predetermined.

The terrifying black flames and the power of the chains collided directly with the monstrous dragon controlled by the "Doctor." The power he relied on to fight such a monster was so easily torn apart by the hideous beast.

The terrifying power, so immense that it could burn everything to ashes and even evaporate heavy rain, was utterly unable to withstand the horrific dragon for a moment, and was crushed just like the enemies burned to ashes by the black flames.

It's just a false power borrowed from elsewhere. How can this insignificant power possibly harm the true source of this evil force when facing powerful enemies and terrifying beasts?

With the Doctor's indifferent gaze, and as Kripps' body was torn apart by the dragon's fangs, he had already declared Kripps' death.
