Bab 1175: Nostalgia

The eyes began to close one by one until there was nothing but darkness left and only then did she regain full control of her body.

Like a puppet with its string cut off, Claudia fell to the floor wheezing and crying. Only after a few seconds of silent sobbing did she have enough mental faculties to check on her condition.

There was not a scratch on her body but she was well and truly broken from the inside out. Not to mention dealing with the old witch's wrath but even the demon that had followed her back wasn't going to leave her alone until she did what it had asked of her.

It was bound to the Abyss and needed an extremely powerful ally to allow it to return to the material realms. And it had found that ally in none other than Hao Xuan himself.

At first she thought the old witch might intervene at some point but it didn't look like that was going to happen. She couldn't care less in fact, even allowing the demon to torture Claudia without reservation.
