Initially, seeing Qin Chu appear, Nicholas felt he had seen hope for survival, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy, loudly calling for Qin Chu to save him.
But gradually, the hope and the smile on Nicholas's face stiffened.
The hero just stood quietly behind, watching his own torture, unmoved, even smiling.
Why?
"Save me..." Nicholas wailed.
He could feel his life force becoming weaker and weaker, the intense pain unbearable: "You're a hero, you're supposed to save me..."
His voice also grew weaker and weaker.
"Just because I'm a hero, am I supposed to save you?" Qin Chu spread his hands, asking somewhat helplessly.
Nicholas was stunned. Wasn't Qin Chu, as a hero, burdened with the responsibility to save everyone on the Sky Dome Continent? And wasn't he a citizen of the Sky Dome Continent, so shouldn't his salvation by the hero be a matter of course?
This was something he had to do.
