Kapitel 168: Mark of Darkness

Axel looked at me as I slowly walked towards him. The magic barrier had already disappeared. Once I was close enough, he hurriedly pulled me towards him by the hand and said, "Oh, thank God, you're finally back!"

"Let's go," said I calmly.

"So, is the gate of hell really under the oak tree?" asked Axel.

"No, this is only one of the entrances. In the first century, someone held a sacrificial ceremony in this oak tree, so it bred dark power."

"How terrifying! How many people had died here just for the ceremony to succeed?" Axel looked around him in fear.

"Too many!" Then, I said numbly, "The darkness has already enveloped the earth, and the gates of hell will open sooner or later!"

"Will we obtain eternal life? Axel was delightfully curious.

"No, we will be devoured by the God of Darkness!" I decided to speak the truth. "Everyone will end up as the puppets of the God of Darkness!"
