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

"It's not going to kill you... It's not going to kill you!" , a voice screamed in my mind, but it felt far away, completely overshadowed by the confusion that overwhelmed me.But... what had just happened? Did you change your mind? Because? What was what…?—W-what about the deal? —I muttered.—If you accept it, they can go with you. If you do not wish to agree and want to leave, I will consent to it,” he said, and the crimson tone of his eyes darkened with an emotion that I was unable to recognize, “but they will never leave here."No," I replied hurriedly, without even thinking about it. I will not leave.“Amy…” Akhliss's voice sounded like an unfinished plea, and a strange feeling squeezed my stomach.The sudden nervousness that overcame me made me flicker between the two of them. When Khaius's eyes met mine, the silent request in his gaze made my lips tighten.A tiny, lifeless part of my head began to consider it, against my will. What if he did? I could do it? Agree to save myself

-That…? —Akhliss gasped, one arm still resting on the wall, but she moved as if he had felt the urge to interfere. I felt the same.The crimson-eyed demon tilted its head in confusion and curiosity.-That's what you think? —She answered him defiantly.Then Azazziel spoke in a strange tongue. I was almost sure it wasn't Latin, it didn't sound like it. They were few words, but they made Asmodeus open his eyes with pure shock, pronounced in that exotic language that they used to use sometimes, the one that seemed like, if I tried it, my tongue would get stuck. A language that didn't seem to be intended for humans.A light laugh filled with disbelief escaped the demon's lips. Akhliss, Khaius and Naamáh were also affected by those words that I did not understand.When astonishment finished crossing his face, Asmodeus smiled.—Are you really willing to do that? —She inquired.Azazziel shook his head in confident agreement, and a terrible foreboding overwhelmed me.—Let him go now and we wil

And there, that unknown anger that irremediably attacked him took over my head."Do to him the same as you did to Hythro ," whispered the voice of that feeling. A vile and ominous feeling. One that had nothing to do with me, but even so, seemed to come from the deepest place within me.Of course not. She wasn't going to do the same thing again, not again. No, unless it was strictly necessary again. Furthermore, Hythro was just one of thousands, millions of demons. Asmodeus was something completely different. What consequences would there be for me if he had dared to hurt a Demon King?Surely nothing good.All coherent thoughts and foreign feelings completely vanished from my mind when Asmodeus raised a hand to caress my head. I couldn't move, the panic left me immobile, static in my place. A gasp of pure horror and disbelief escaped my lips the instant Asmodeus leaned forward to bury his nose in my hair and inhale deeply.“Asmodeus…” Azazziel urged him, with a tone that was somewhere

Akhliss's words made me bite the inside of my cheek to force myself to remain silent. The insecurity and fear of the mere possibility that something bad could happen to Azazziel was torturing me. I couldn't just stop thinking about it and that's it. I needed to know what that fucking agreement was .My rib was throbbing and I couldn't stop grimacing in pain all the time. Khaius, who was also in a lot of pain, but seemed not to want to show it, grabbed my shoulders to prevent me from collapsing. However, I couldn't help but jump at their closeness as the recent memory of everything I was told and shown about them hit my head. Khaius pursed his lips and moved away to walk a meter away from me.I felt a stab in my chest, but I stayed in my place.I clenched my fists tightly as we passed the room filled with torture instruments. The fear that that room caused me was such that I walked with my eyes closed until we left there. The long tunnels were another endless and terrible path, as we a
