Upon hearing this,
Ansarhin hadn't even finished his polite words when Bloodbell charged forward, brandishing his massive war blade.
In the emergency, Ansarhin hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, 'luminous saint,' let's join forces and take down this giant bear first!"
Ashu looked at the 'super Bloodbell' he had created, sneered, and replied, "The Divine Mother Goddess intended this all along."
Of course, he wanted to kill Bloodbell.
Bloodbell was meant to be a sacrifice.
The 'buddy' Bloodbell admired was only the Reaper Devotee in "Reaper's Resolve" mode—not Ashu himself.
So killing him caused Ashu no guilt whatsoever.
On the contrary, this guy's remaining lifespan had already been consumed by "Forbidden Sacrifice." After the skill effect ended, he would fall into a near-death state. Rather than dying in a pitiful way, it was better to have a grand, righteous battle against the "luminous saint."
That would elevate his final days.
He should thank Ashu for that.
"Attack!"
