A reason that prevented Gehrman from attacking.
The reason was simple .. rooted in a passing conversation he had once shared with a certain man.
In the distant past… during the era of conflict, when Nameless was still alive.
Gehrman had once sat alongside a peculiar individual .. a strange man whose entire body was forged from black metal, as though he himself were a living weapon.
A unique vessel, one of Nameless's most deranged creations… the most durable vessel of all.
His features were rough and unrefined, yet the one who inhabited it was mad ... utterly unhinged.
On one occasion, he and Gehrman exchanged stories about a curious subject…
The way they had died.
It was an intriguing discussion, one that brought together the Number One of the Shadow Sect .. Gehrman,
and Number Two, the Master of Martial Arts, Alexander Rybak.
"You're incredible, Gehrman," Alexander said, leaning against the table they were seated around.
