Gloom Chapter 344
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

"Stop, Hythro," Asmodeus said in a calm voice, without the slightest alteration, and the demon stopped dead, without turning to look at him. However, the rage carved into his expression increased, making him incredibly frightening.Hythro pressed his lips into a tight line and shook his head in stubborn denial."No, my lord," he muttered in anger, his furious eyes boring into my face. This damn thing is a danger to us. It cannot continue to exist, I will not allow it. In no way will it ruin our victory.Beside me, in a hasty and haughty gesture, Azazziel stood up. Ice spread through my system as Hythro appeared right in front of us, so agile that I couldn't see him coming.Azazziel then gave him the first blow to push him away, but Hythro took it well and gathered enough strength to continue standing and stop the next one with one hand. Just a little further away, Khaius and Akhliss surrounded Naamah so that he would not dare interfere.«Don't let them fight again! Do something!" , th

I moved my lips to say something, but all I made was an incoherent stammer. I wasn't able to say anything logical, because my mind was completely blank. I was completely disconnected from my body, not wanting to accept what I had just done.“You used my dagger, you bastard,” Naamah continued, and this time I turned my head towards her, only to be met with her deep irascible expression. How dare you?! You're a fucking coward!“Shut your damn mouth,” Akhliss replied coldly, her hand resting on the wall for support.“Silence…” Asmodeus' order was stern, in a tone so guttural that it sent a chill down my spine.Neither of them dared to say another word.Asmodeus had his hands on his back, his old serenity recovered—the one that made him look older even without wrinkles—, with his eyes fixed on the demon lying on the ground, whose blood did not stop gushing out and making the black spill grow. around his body, which was no longer moving. There was no sign of grief on Asmodeus's face, not a

In my mind, everyone around me seemed to vanish. I couldn't speak, I couldn't take my eyes off the demon's blackened orbs.Hythro had spent a long time fighting Azazziel, I even attacked him because I feared he could beat him, and he fell with a simple dagger! What kind of weapon could kill a demon so easily?One from Naamah, of course. I should have known that she didn't play fair even with her own.I couldn't answer Asmodeus. I couldn't even look at it. His words must have caused me a terrible panic; However, the only thing I was able to do was watch in astonishment as Hythro's life completely drained from his inert body on the ground.Something was wrong. My lungs were not working properly."You caused that . " The voice in my mind sounded judgmental, it sounded cold and cruel, not at all happy with what had just happened. «You killed him. "You just killed someone . "«But Hythro... He was bad. He came to our defense. “It was to help them ,” I argued against her, and I was almost s
