I was running fast in the dark and dense forest.
I didn't care about the plant's branches slamming into my arms and legs. All I wanted was to go to school and see my loved ones.
A year has passed since my blunder almost brought the world to an end.
Even now, I am battling and striving to live to rebuild my mistake.
This time, I'll succeed in breaking through the barrier! A year apart is just too long! " Seeing the sign I made a year ago, I uttered and came to a halt.
I took a deep breath and raised my hand to begin the chant.
It's a damn shame! As the barrier flared up but didn't shatter, I yelled. I became enraged and hit the trunk, which promptly collapsed due to the strike's power.
Do I have to give up my life simply to acquire enough power? I pondered as I sat on the trunk and closed my eyes.
I swore to the guy I love that I would not sacrifice my humanity to obtain power, but it seems that I will be unable to honor my vows since I have no other option.
At long last, Claire Anderson, I found you!
"Hello, Xia!"I exclaim as I rise to my feet. "How did you come across me?"
"You're my closest friend, so I know what's on your mind and heart," Xia said with a smile.
"You are not my closest friend; you are a devil-like parasite that refuses to let go of my pal!" I screamed.
I continue to avoid Xia because I don't want to injure her body, but the devil is relentless in pursuing me.
"I'm sorry, Claire, but Xia has already accepted me!" We've merged into one body, and it's now mine. "Even her spirit has already deserted me,"
My hands were clenched. I have no way of knowing whether the person I'm speaking with is telling the truth, so deciding whether to fight or flee is tough.
Don't think about running because you can't get away from us! Xia declares as she glances to the left side of the jungle.
When I watched the vampires emerge one by one, I cringed.
Vampires can't beat me, you know! You, too, are powerless in the face of my might. Because I care for Xia's body, you're still alive! " While smiling, I say and unleash my claws.
"That is correct; we cannot overcome you, but he can," Xia smiled and turned to face the barrier.
The barrier that I've been trying to shatter for a long time is gradually dissolving.
"Ian Gabriel... When I saw the guy approaching, I muttered
I took a step closer to the guy I loved, but my excitement was quickly replaced by uncertainty when I saw that his eyes were black.
"No... not you, either!" This isn't happening, "I murmured, hoping my suspicions were correct.
I'm sure you know Ian Gabriel, but I'm sorry to say that the guy you love has disappeared! " Please welcome our Lord Hades! " Xia introduced herself as she moved closer to Ian Gabriel.
"No, you're lying!" Ian is a strong man who will not be beaten by the devil! I declare
"But I've already done it!" So, if I were you, I'd give up so you could be with Ian Gabriel and the others you care about. "
Hearing Ian's voice complemented by a foreign voice left me stunned.
