Gloom Chapter 341
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

He stared at me, head down, but not at all with an air of melancholy, but on the contrary. His eyes, red like the blood that ran through my veins, were half-closed, not looking away from me even to blink. His lips were set in a stern expression, not the mocking smile I had imagined. He was too serious, as if deep in thought. Cautious , above all. He didn't have his attention on the fight or any of them. If any of the demons got seriously injured, or even if one died, he didn't seem to care.He was trying to figure out what I was going to do about it, what I was willing to do to stop them. He was challenging me.I flinched at the violent push Naamah gave Akhliss. The violet-eyed she-devil grimaced in pain that squeezed my chest. On my other side I could see Khaius, who had his hands on the ground, barely holding himself up, or perhaps struggling to get back to his feet. Every muscle in his body was trembling.A curse escaped my lips.I hated having my body as hurt as it was. I hated fe

The strange and dark black limbs, the same ones that had captured me before and then Khaius, made their appearance again in the room where we were. But, this time, there were many more, which sprouted directly from the dark ground. All of them trapped the arms, torso and legs of the five demons, preventing them from any movement.The shock hit me brutally.A strange feeling squeezed my chest when I saw Azazziel like that, unable to move, as if those horrible things were stronger than him. At that moment, his gray eyes met mine. I recognized the utter confusion on his face, but then I could see how daze quickly took over his features.Likewise, Akhliss and Khaius gave me deeply strange looks, almost as if they didn't recognize me.-How is that…? —I heard Hythro mutter, while he looked at himself in a disoriented and angry gesture. He shifted restlessly, and fixed his green eyes on me. Get this shit off me!Confused, I let out a gasp and looked at Asmodeus.His crimson orbs were wide op
Gloom Chapter 348
—Asmodeus, please no! —Desperation crept into Akhliss's scream, but the demon holding me did not flinch.Anticipation made a knot in the pit of my stomach. A feeling of real, authentic fear wreaked havoc inside me. A dizzying effect made me feel like I was about to jump off the top of a cliff, straight to my doom... But somehow, it didn't feel as bad as I thought it must have been.A small part of my brain briefly remembered Anthony, Nat, Dee, Dave, and Claire—even though the last three would not mourn my death—and I felt a stab of pain. A tiny fraction deviated from that path and within me grew the faint, although unlikely, hope that perhaps I could be with my parents again. And that didn't make me miserable.“Go ahead and kill me,” I said quietly, and the wrinkle between his dark eyebrows became more noticeable. But you have no idea what I am, and that will never leave you alone. —I felt like I should shut up when an unrecognizable feeling crossed her face, but I couldn't. I didn't
