Bab 193: Maskless

Aldrich eyed Count Rodrigo from the shadows.

"Daddy… I… can't… hold… more."

This was the third time Sha had spoken out in his mind. It has already been over 5 minutes from the time limit that Sha had told him. But he couldn't come out now. And the reason was simple.

Aldrich wasn't sure if he could handle the Count by himself as smoothly as he had handled Viscount Robert. There was a big difference between a Count and a Viscount, irrespective of levels. Aldrich could have made a move if he could use Devil's Oldest Change to the full extent. But now, even though he was sure that he could kill Rodrigo, this wasn't his prime motive.

Aldrich wanted Count Rodrigo's memories. And for it to work, he had to make sure that Sha got to devour the old man entirely.

"Sha, hold on. Just a few minutes more."
