Bab 162: Chapter 162: Crimson Lotus Wings 4/7

"Bal, it's all over now, stop."

As Renji uttered that name, the High Priest's body suddenly trembled. The almost entirely lost rationality seemed to return a bit in that moment, and a glimmer of clarity reappeared in her blood-filled eyes.

But it was just a glimmer.

Soon after, rationality faded from the High Priest again, replaced by an even more intense hatred. In fact, from the moment Renji had disappeared to head towards the restricted area, Bal's heart had already cooled. It was complete despair when she no longer felt the presence of the cursed Skull Gem.

All her plans for revenge, the curse she had schemed for centuries, were still so frail before "that person" - the great Emperor, the Emperor she once admired and aspired to.

 "it is over?"

"No"

"Not yet. It's not over yet!"

'How could... How could it end like this!'
