Pride angled his blade towards the direction of Aeren's sword, but it broke, and the stab went through, even if it failed splitting Pride open or in pieces.

In a last attempt, he grabbed the broken portion of his blade with his teeth and went to stab Aeren with it towards one of his lungs. The stab didn't go that deep though.

After the ordeal, the SIn pulled himself out of Aeren's sword, stumbling backwards before finally falling.

Mortally wounded, he took the last breaths of his life.

"I... I myself have never believed in faith in mortals...  If they do have hope... and I am wrong... perhaps... perhaps this is the justice brought forth down by them... justice of providence... by you... their champion... be it willing or unwilling..." he muttered.

Asciene got up from her ordeal despite her injuries and approached the devastated Sin.

"...And it seems we have a visitor in our midst... naive child... no point mourning..."

The former grunted, "You used to be such a handsome and kind knight... for you to fall this far... it makes me sick. ...Any last words you'd like to say..?"

"None..."

"Such a sad life. Tell me, Sir Reginald. Was there.. anyone you loved? Anyone who you cared for?"

"...You... Apprentice."

"And you're saying you have no message for me?! After everything I've sacrificed for you..?!"

"...a trivial matter..."

Asciene looked like she was about to break down, but her mixed feelings kept her from doing so.

"...I know you understand... You're the person I once chose to live by my side... you're already all grown up... ...I'm certain you'll find your path in life on your own... ...There are no words to be passed between us now...

...That's what it means to be the apprentice... ...no... ...the squire of a knight... ...more than that..."

Pride let out a sigh of relief as he stared at the sky.

"...I followed my life the way I wanted it to be... ...the life of a warrior sure is a wild ride... ...I followed what I believed is right... ...and to die fighting for what I believed in...

...

...It was... ...at least a live worth living for... ...and maybe even a life worth dying for..."

With his last breath, Pride passed away with a smile on his face. His body eventually disintegrated, even the ashes fading into nothingness overtime...

Asciene gritted her teeth slightly.

"For him to die like that... That peaceful look on his face... almost pisses me off..."
