Bab 524: Failure (Part 2)

"I don't care what we do. As long as we are together it's a date to me." Kamila moved her right hand from Lith's shoulder to his cheek, caressing it gently. That simple gesture filled him with joy.

"Thanks, but there's no need for that. I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you in my life." His smile and words made Kamila's heart pound. Lith wasn't one for sweet talk, he would only say such things when he meant them.

Lith took a deep breath, using Invigoration to replenish part of his mana and release Death Vision from its fetters. In his eyes, the entire Ballroom turned into a grotesque nightmare where rotten corpses danced amid blood spatters.

He tried not to look around, focusing only on Kamila's smile. As long as she was between his arms, she was safe from Death Vision's effects. A beacon of life in a sea of dead bodies.
