Chapitre 197: 197: The Diary (2)

I decided to take my chance and went to the forest, as the High Priestess of the moon had told me it was the only way to survive its pursuit.

Then, for the first time in many months, I experienced peace.

As soon as I entered the forest, the voices that had been continuously ringing in my ears for the past seven months stopped. At the same time, I couldn't feel its gaze on me either. The uncomfortable feeling of continuously being watched as if something invisible was standing next to you disappeared.

It filled me with relief. A sigh escaped my lips.

As a scientist, my interest was piqued.

Just what was so special about this forest that kept the Unknown away?

But just as I had begun to ponder, I was attacked.

The battle ended as soon as it started. 

I feared the Unknown, but I wasn't a scaredy cat. Beasts and devils were creatures that I understood and could deal with. I will never let them get the upper hand against me.
