He was beginning to grow afraid.

“What is that?” he shouted suddenly as he gazed behind Zeke, who turned around.

Platinum was delighted. Zeke fell for it!

Without hesitation, he turned and ran.

As soon as he took a single step, however, he felt his body bound by an immense force that rendered him completely immobile.

Struggling to breathe, he felt as if he had fallen into cement.

What's happening to me? D*mn it, what the hell is going on? Why can't I move? Could it be his doing? What trickery is this?

Platinum was having a mental breakdown as he realized he had met his match this time.

He was only an Archduke, so he was not at the point where he knew about materializing and using energy. That was why he did not understand how Zeke had restrained him.

He tried turning around to face Zeke but could not move at all.

In a flash, Zeke appeared before Platinum.

“You had a chance to live, yet you threw away the opportunity. Any last words?”

Platinum sensed his restraint weaken, though he was still unable to move his whole body, only his lips.

“I-I'm sorry. I should not have provoked you,” he said with difficulty.

Zeke sighed. “It looks like you still don't know what you did wrong. I wouldn't need to claim your life if all you did was provoked me.”

Platinum was confused. “Please enlighten me, Mr. Williams.”

If there's another reason for him to claim my life aside from my provocation, then there might be a chance for me to redeem myself.

“Your mistake was to commit murder. What's more, you murdered because of me,” Zeke said. “This is an unforgivable sin which you will pay for with your life.”

Platinum hastily explained, “Listen to me, Mr. Williams. The ones I killed are as insignificant as insects, the most wretched existences on Theos Island. Their lives cost a mere Spirit Stone or two. They would have died in the hands of others regardless, given their prowess. I refuse to accept the exchange of my life for theirs! If you forgive me just this once, Mr. Williams, my life will be yours.”

Zeke laughed coldly. “Hah! Your life is more valuable than the lives of others, who are like insects. Who taught you such wickedness? You will die just for this belief alone!”

Without another word, Zeke increased the amount of energy exerted onto Platinum, whose body began to crumple in.

Platinum felt like he was being stepped on by an elephant and was at risk of exploding at any moment. His eyes bulged out of his head, and his tongue hung limply out of his mouth. He did not have an ounce of resistance.

At the very last moment, he asked the final and most important question of his life. “W-who are you?”

“The Great Marshal of Eurasia!” Zeke answered.

The Great Marshal!

The words set off an explosion in Platinum's head.

Then, he resigned himself to his fate of being crushed alive.

It appears that the Great Marshal of Eurasia has come to Theos Island, which is about to undergo huge changes. I have no regrets about dying at his hand. Even Theos may not escape Zeke's grasp, let alone the Legatuses and Camp Masters. What hope do I, a Centurion, have?

Taking the remains of Platinum with him, Zeke began marching back.

Though Platinum had been squeezed to death, his face was still somewhat recognizable. Only his internal organs had been expelled.
