章 268: Chapter 268: System’s Demon - 3

"MICAH!"

Time seemed to stop. Elio watched, paralyzed, as his friend's head fell to the ground. 

The monster, for the first time, showed something close to surprise in its black eyes.

The realization that it had lost its source of information hit the creature quickly. With a roar of fury, it launched itself at Elio, determined not to lose its last informant as well.

Elio barely registered the movement. 

His eyes remained fixed on Micah's body, on the smile that still remained on his lifeless face. The same face that years ago had helped him overcome his father's death, that had taught him to transform pain into something else.

Today he would have to transform this pain into something else too. 

FURY! 

The damned monster would die by his hands.

The monster's claws almost reached him when he finally reacted, entering his book at the last second.
