"Must you always kill them in such a gruesome manner?"
Layla questioned Eren with annoyance lacing her voice.
She couldn't help but think that his unofficial title as the Osan Woods' Butcher was more fitting than his official alias, Grimdawn. However, Grimdawn carried a far more sinister connotation, leading Layla to believe that Eren had attempted to maintain a low profile before resorting to this extreme measure.
The gruesome battlefield before her only solidified Layla's thoughts. As she arrived at the designated site, the sight of the five rankers' mutilated bodies surpassed the horrors she had witnessed during her own experiments with the bandits. In comparison, Layla's treatment of the bandits at this very location seemed almost saintly, granting them a merciful release from this cruel world.
Her gaze shifted from Eren's recent battlefield, where the butchered remains of the rankers lay, and she frowned, her forehead creased with concern.
