บท 2891: Retreat

Crush!

"No!" I screamed as the Grimm crushed the red gem; the humans watched in horror as the old snake and other Grimms grinned.

"Now, there is no one who could save you, humans; you all will die," Said the old snake with a laugh as it opened the fist, and red rust flew out of it, disappearing into the sky soon after.

There is no use collecting the dust; it is a trigger; it had done its job, and now it is time for the curse to do it.

Old snake and the other Grimms Grand Lords watched the humans in anticipation, wanting to see their screams as they were consumed by the curse, but as the seconds passed, nothing happened, and doubts began to flash into their eyes as they looked at the old snake.

The old snake slowly moved its neck and looked at me with shock, horror, and questions on its face.
