"Zero did this to her? How can you be 100% sure?"
The old man laughed for a short moment. "Because her memories told me about it."
I nodded as I got closer to her body. I wanted to truly analyze it. I could feel a similar feeling to the demonic energy I had felt in my life. However, there was a small but noticeable difference between the two.
"Can I ask you another question?"
"Yes, young one. You can ask all the questions on your mind."
"Do you know about the Zero's race?"
The old man closed his eyes again, thinking deeply for a few moments.
"No, a lot of things are interfering with his identity and existence. I cannot find information about him easily."
I nodded, not too sure what any of this meant. However, I glanced toward the body of the girl once more. She was losing strength quite fast.
"Did you find a way to cure her of the energy inside her body?"
"Maybe. However, we are not sure."
You can consider the next 10 to 20 chapters a Mini Arc as we get closer to Zero.
