บท 265: Battle with an Immortal II

Sybilla jerked away from Raphael's grip on her hair, stumbling several steps back. A horrified expression painted her face as she stammered, "How did you know?"

Of all the people she'd encountered over the years, only a handful knew her deepest secret. Yet somehow, Raphael, who had spent mere moments with her, had uncovered the key to her immortality. As she stared at him with a mixture of fear and confusion, Sybilla couldn't help but wonder how he had figured it out.

"Was it the boomerang from earlier?" she asked, her voice wavering. Despite her uncertainty, a fierce determination flashed in her eyes. "You figuring this out doesn't change anything. In fact, it gives me more reason to kill you."

The air grew heavy with tension, and the surrounding flames intensified. Yet, they seemed to shy away from Raphael, as if something about him repelled them.
