Kapitel 39: He is... Dead [Edited]

"KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The creature writhed in agony, its shrill scream echoing through the cave, but before it could even muster a defense, its head was severed cleanly from its body.

The culprit? Lily.

There was no light in her eyes, only an ominous darkness etched into her expression. She barely comprehended what had just transpired. One moment, she had been standing beside Amael, and the next, a tremor shook the cave. When she turned to look for him, he was gone. Panic set in as she searched frantically, her dread mounting with every passing second. It felt like a cruel replay of what had happened seven years ago.

"AMAEL! WHERE ARE YOU?!" she screamed, her voice cracking as she rushed deeper into the cavern.
