The value overflow for skills really is amazing.
His "pain reduction" leveled up so hard,, it went from lv 8 to lv 1 🤣.
In other news, I guess Cross is gonna Cross, being unable to let people who actively wanted some horrendous fate for him to suffer too much.
I do have to wonder if he's being this magnanimous more because of how he seems unable to hold a grudge for too long, or because he knows people will end up in agonic pain under his masters' payback unless he lets those who wronged him and lost get away with some stuff.
Also, he probably didn't want Gimlet to suffer the same as his assassins and father, since he just doesn't like seeing people in pain period, apparently. We'll need to have some irredeemable scum appear to see if even at that point he'd be able to stop himself from beating them into crimson mist. Because we know he can feel nothing about killing monsters, but not about people just yet.
