As she followed the trail of destruction that Johann left in his wake, Cassandra couldn't help but be amazed by it.The friendly dragon god, Johann, had shown his true colors...And when Cassandra saw the scene where Johann stood, her opinion of him went much higher.All around him were the ashes, burnt corpses, and mangled bodies of the many unfortunate soldiers who crossed his path.Many of them were burned badly, missing limbs, missing heads, had their throats torn out, their spines shattered, their bodies melted, and so on.It was truly a sickening sight.Most people would likely have lost their lunch at seeing it.As for Cassandra...she had seen similar things before. Even preformed such acts on others.It was nothing to be bothered about for her.And Johann stood facing down Rose who was protecting a badly-wounded and burned Abbadon.Johann was covered in the blood and ashes of his slain enemies.He had a cold and unfeeling expression on his face...It reminded her of...Suddenl
After coming back from Kranox, Vakra went to his lab to begin working on his new project.I simply went to my room and enjoyed some of the extra food I purposely made while hunting there.The food in the Abyss, while edible and not bad tasting, looked disgusting.The texture was terrible, too.I hated eating it, in all honesty, but I had little choice.Once I had finished eating, I took a bath and went to bed.The bath was pleasant, but I missed having Cassandra wash me. Regardless, I fell asleep immediately after laying down.Some time later...I felt a weight on me.When I opened my eyes, I saw Cassandra laying on top of me and...smelling my chest...In other words, her usual bizarre and stalker-like behavior."Uhh...Cassandra...? What are you doing?" I asked."I'm...haaah...taking in your scent! I've been deprived of my darling Mizik for so long!" She said as she continued squeezing me and inhaling the smell of my chest.Isn't it a bit early for you to be acting like an obsessive st
When I woke up, Cassandra still remained asleep.I held her close as she breathed softly and she seemed to respond to it."Nnn...more...Mizik..." She said.I guess if you just want to cuddle, I can keep doing that...Eventually, she opened her eyes and looked sleepily up at me."Darling...! I had the most...wonderful dream!" She said She scooted up and wrapped her arms around my shoulders."Good morning, Cassandra. Sleep well?" I said.She nodded."Much better than in Excelsis. And my hands have stopped shaking!" She said happily."Good to hear. What did you think of the family yesterday?" I asked."They're all so nice! I can see why Mizik is so kind after meeting them!" She said.We both sat up and she smiled at me.I was glad that Cassandra got along well with everyone. But truthfully, I wasn't worried. I knew they would love her and I knew Cassandra would easily win them over.She actually managed to present herself as a nornal human being around them.When she chose to act norma
Once we left the castle, I saw the city of Kazekiir.It was amazing...The buildings weren't shaped the same as as traditional ones, but all seemed to be partially connected with interlocking walkways in the sky. Or at least what was considered a sky below the Void.As we walked the streets, people would occasionally react to us.And by us, I mean..."Eh...EHHHHHH!? L-LADY VALTHIEM!?!? RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"Several people would react with pure terror upon seeing Valthiem walk around normally.It was kind of weird...She had the appearance of a beautiful young woman with dark gray hair.She wasn't particularly imposing and only wore a somewhat bulky armored robe.I mean, after all...she was probably only around 5'5. And yet...I couldn't actually think of a more terrifying entity in all of creation...Dying was surely a scary thing.And I would know...But to simply stop existing?To me, that was far more terrifying.Valthiem was more than capable of doing that to someone. "Hey, Val
As Rose sat down in the chair next to her desk, she clutched her head in her hands.It had been five and a half months since Johann destroyed a large portion of the city...And at the same time, Rose couldn't stop getting these headaches...They were always accompanied by memories that she didn't experience and images of people she swore she had seen before but never met.She began having strange thoughts that felt like they weren't hers."YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING!!! YOU IDIOT!!! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?!?" A voice in her head screamed."SHUT UP!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! YOU'RE NOT REAL!!!" Rose yelled aloud.Just then, her mind was assaulted by images again...She saw herself standing in front of a man by an altar. There was a priest.Walter was there and...Arvild came in to stop whatever was going on.The man protected her and fought Arvild in an arena after that.He nearly died...but he won the fight.Next, she was laying in bed with her head on his chest.After that, she vagu
There are things no mortal should ever see.Technically, my lifespan was now indefinite as a result of my special abilities.But I still had the mind of a mortal.The tunnel leading into the Deep Abyss took over a weekto pass. We ended up sleeping inside of it.When we exited, the power of the abyssal flames allowed us to see everything...I saw a horrid, warped landscape full of strange plants and monsters that looked like they would all kill me in some terrifying way.The monsters varied in size...Some were small, others were larger.Some reached into the sky with their massive heights.They were titans among titans...It was hard to describe what I saw...They had tentacles, eyes, mouths...some of them were like giant worms.Others were twisted beings with multiple arms and eyes all over their bodies.Cassandra clung to me as I once again felt my head hurting.Something about these monsters was...wrong on so many levels...The ones that had mouths seemed to continuously smile. Th
When I finally awoke, I could only smile.This is where I die, isn't it? It's back to the graveyard... I would rather be in the there. The graveyard is warm and pleasant... I get to see myself in so many interesting ways! I wonder if the female Mizik will go out with me!?"D-darling!? Please! Are you okay!?" Cassandra cried."Hahahah... This is fun, isn't it!? The Abyss has so many cool things! LOOK AT THAT ABOMINATION!!! THAT ISN'T NATURAL!!!" I shouted."N-nooo... Please nooo... Mizik! Please compose yourself!!!" Cassandra said fearfully."Be...quiet..." Valthiem said."I never thought...in all my life...THAT I WOULD GET SASS FROM VALTHIEM!!! LADY OF NOTHINGNESS, YOU ARE SO PRETTY!!! I LOVE YOUR EYES! LET ME SEE THE VOID!!! CAN YOU SMILE LIKE THE ABYSSAL ONES!?" I shouted as I stood up straight.I clutched my head and couldn't control my laughter."THIS ONE HAS LOST HIS MIND, IT SEEMS... REGARDLESS, HE WILL STILL BE DELICIOUS. BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO DEVOURING THE FEMALE MORE! F
As time went by, I began to gain some of my bodily control back.I was genuinely amazed at how Cassandra didn't seem to care about the fact that she had to help me do literally everything. But to her, it was a vacation. A honeymoon.Currently, she was helping me to walk again. I had begun to speak as well.However...despite the fact that I was glad to have her helping me...I had also fallen into a deep state of depression and anger. Partially because of Isabella, but also...I lost something important when I descended into madness. I felt something seething below the surface.The full realization that Isabella may never return to her previous self was enough to drive me insane from grief.Not that I hadn't already gone insane, of course...But along with it, came a dark, malevolent rage that rooted itself deep in my heart. I began thinking about things.How much I despised the life I had lived...how much I hated the Oracle and the mockery that Rose was.I thought about how much I ha
