Is it just me or is theia kinda unsympathetic here, like we saw monsters arent necessarily bad, and given what we know about her mentor personality that seem to be the case with him too! So what does she do? Kill him for a stupid fallacy she coached herself into believing. Not only but she has the guts to think of herself as the righteous one in the whole clusterfuck, she valued her masters live so much she killed because of a unfounded believe, she seem to value his post mortum honor (as she perceive) it more than his live
Thanks for the chapters!
Theia knows monsters have no morals and go around destroying villages for a payment, at least the majority of the ones she saw. She had to protect her master from losing control of himself and doing evil, it was more important that he remained an honorable person in the eyes of the world than that he lived. Theia’s morals might either have valued her masters honor over his life, or valued his innocence before the danger of him becoming a true monster. That, or he truly lost control and had to be put down.
I mean, I get where she’s coming from, her entire village was wiped out by monsters. Also, she most likely used her combat switch in that fight to make sure she would win, and a combat form that does not exclude empathy is not very effective. Hey, at least she didn’t beat the guy to death with a great many spoons.
lol she has established that her personality changes based on conditions. those conditions probably are what made her kill the master who was a monster. It would explain why she killed him and why she acts so guilty about it now
No, I completely disagree. A monster is a monster, and there is a reason why they are that hated. If there are good monsters, why doesn’t the whole world accept them? They don’t because it is more likely that a monster will harm those around them than they won’t.
She is killing him because that guy chose to lose his humanity to live, which would eventually harm everyone around him in the end. Rather than seeing the person you cared about turning into a mindless killing machine.
If anything, I hate that holy knight, Arhkan, more than anything else. Because, even knowing Theia’s values, how he will be perceived by the world, and how this could negatively affect those he cared about, he selfishly chose the option of becoming a monster. From how I see, he doesn’t deserve neither the title ‘Holy Knight’ nor ‘Master.’
He is just a stupid fucker.
Thanks for the chapter
