Gloom Chapter 338
The demons looked at each other in mild confusion for a second. However, they nodded silently and proceeded to bow slightly, as if making a slight bow towards him. Then they turned to leave and close the door behind them… But not before taking one last look at me.A harsh moan escaped Khaius's lips and my attention returned to him.—W-what… are you doing h-here? —She asked brokenly, with difficulty. He put a hand on mine, perhaps to remove it from her face, but instead he just kept it there. Something in my chest hurt again seeing him so hurt and vulnerable. “You-you have to…” A choked sound escaped her and she couldn't continue. He lowered his face slightly and spat some of the black liquid onto the ground.I bit my lower lip hard, ignoring the pain, since finding him in that state hurt me almost as if I had suffered his wounds myself. I brushed the wet strands of hair from his face, and he shook his head in a slow, weak refusal. He stared at me for a second and said something that,

"Let me go," I whispered, feeling pathetic and cowardly. But by that point the certainty had already settled in my head that I couldn't do anything against him. That the demon in front of me was much more powerful than I could imagine. P-you can be sure that I am not a threat to yours. I will not be the slightest impediment to your objective. I haven't been in all this time, why would I be now?Asmodeus's eyes narrowed, but he once again maintained his previous serenity.—Unfortunately, I am unable to trust you, Amy. "I cannot know whether or not you are our enemy, whether you are any impediment to our victory against the angels, at least until I know what you really are," he said, and I felt my chest tighten with the pain and disappointment that this It meant: there was no way Asmodeus would let me get out of there alive. After appreciating my reaction for a couple of seconds, he added, “Tell me, did you see anything in the tunnels Hythro made you go through?”The sudden change made

"Silence, you fool," Asmodeus replied sternly. The black limbs that had trapped me earlier sprouted from the reddish bricks of the wall, surrounding Khaius' wounded torso and arms. He tried to put up resistance, but he was so weak that he did not succeed, and he ended up trapped between the wall and the strange and fearsome elongated hands.I looked back at Asmodeus and shook my head.—I'm confident that it's not possible for you to be immune to everything. "Let's see if..." he murmured, ignoring my pleading gesture. Do you know what he was before he was King, Amy? I was an incubus, one of the first that existed.He took my face in his hands, preventing me from making any other movement to free myself from him. A grunt of protest left me. His large hands cupped my cheeks firmly. The ardor of anger, coupled with the immense fear of the moment, increased so much that it caused me uncontrollable confusion. I stared into the blood-red hue of his eyes, in a vain attempt to look defiant.At

Asmodeus, far from losing his patience or getting angry at his tone, shook his head with such serenity that it even unnerved me. Azazziel's breathing quickened; His chest swelled and normalized at a rapid pace. He wasn't looking at me, and I wasn't sure how that made me feel. His expression radiated so much anger that the fear he already felt increased.—Amy came here of her own free will. I asked her to come and she agreed. —The second those words left Asmodeus's mouth, Azazziel's eyes fixed on me in a way so voracious and cold that a painful pang passed through me.A strange weight gripped my sore stomach muscles. I gulped and my sight swung between the four demons around me. Suddenly, the despair and unfathomable mix of emotions was so devastating that I gasped for air.—What do you want to do with her? Akhliss asked Asmodeus, her brow furrowed in confusion. We already told her everything, she knows exactly the same as us. We have no idea what her condition is due to, and we have n

"Asmodeus..." Azazziel's warning tone made the person questioned smile again.But, after a second, Asmodeus's slightly cheerful expression disappeared. He suddenly frowned and looked confused, almost dismayed.—How does it affect you that this girl hates you? You guys can't develop any feelings for her, you know that. —Then she looked at me, with a stern expression—. And if they made you believe otherwise, then they are much crueler than what you witnessed in the reflection.The accumulation of pain that overwhelmed me spread throughout my chest, to the point that it made it difficult for me to breathe. The desire to cry was almost uncontrollable, and I wasn't sure if it was due to the horrible images I saw of them, to Asmodeus' revelations, to their expressions of guilt... Or if it was because of everything together.Asmodeus' lips curled and he seemed pleased with my wounded countenance. Yet somehow…some inexplicable way I held on to a feeling I didn't recognize, but didn't bother t

In the first instant, the first thing that my eyes were able to distinguish was the flash of frenzy in Naamah's only blue eye; and the second thing was the almost insane smile he smiled. In the next moment, I caught a glimpse of Hythro rushing towards me at superhuman speed.It took only a fraction of a second for fear to spread through my veins, but it was so fleeting that I could barely appreciate it, because the demon couldn't reach me. Halfway through his journey, just a couple of meters away between him and me, another figure—impressive, fast, and imposing—stepped into his path.I could hardly visualize his movement. I was almost unable to make him out, if it weren't for those amazing black wings of his.I burst into my own panic as Azazziel grabbed Hythro by his neck."You will play it on my corpse," he muttered.Hythro twisted his face into a pained grimace and muttered something I couldn't hear, before Azazziel exerted his strength on him and ended up slamming him against the

At that moment, Naamah took advantage of the demons' weakness and my carelessness. She moved so quickly, I wasn't able to lean back to prevent her hand from wrapping around my neck. A strangled sound came out of me. The pain and despair were so unbearable that I was vaguely aware that Akhliss had reached us, and that she too grabbed Naamah's neck with excessive force.But as Akhliss choked her harder, Naamah's fingers tightened around my throat.Shortness of breath quickly affected me. I felt the pressure inside my skull, the burning in my lungs demanding oxygen, and the sudden loss of my strength. It didn't take me long to end up held only by the hand that was holding my neck. However, although he did not expect it, Naamáh contorted her face in pain and gave in to Akhliss's strangulation.Finally he let me go, and then the three of us ended up on the ground.I coughed and opened my mouth to swallow gulps of air desperately. My vision was unclear for a couple of seconds, as if a thin

"This is the last time you disobey me," Naamah said through clenched teeth, in an inflection filled with anger as she approached him.Khaius had his head lowered, his eyes fixed on the ground and he was lucky to support himself with his arms so as not to collapse completely. When she was close enough to him, she raised one hand in the air, gripping her dagger firmly.An indescribable feeling welled up from the very center of my being. Something I wasn't able to recognize, but I didn't care to do it either. I did not think. I didn't give it importance. Pain flared in my muscles as I stood up, but I didn't care. Not sure how I did it, I made it to Naamah. And I lashed out at her. My arms surrounded her torso and the weight of my body made the inertia do the work.We both fell, unpleasantly close to each other, and I heard the shrill sound of metal hitting the floor as she dropped the dagger. Just a second later, I felt the blow on the top of her head causing my arms to release her.Ever
