Chapter 62
Before Marcus could respond, Seraphine laughed. “Oh, Garrick, you're absolutely right. It was such an inexpensive drink.” Garrick's smile faltered. Seraphine continued in the sweetest voice imaginable. “Although I'm sure your grandfather would be furious if he heard you say that. Didn't he make that drink when he was still a boy? The one your family was supposed to pass down from generation to generation?” She tilted her head innocently. “And Lucien drank it without asking, didn't he? But of course, you're right. It was inexpensive.” Garrick's expression darkened. “Shut your fucking mouth.” Selene turned toward Seraphine. “And what are you even doing here?” Seraphine blinked. “Me?” “Yes, you!” “Oh, I was simply agreeing with Garrick.” She smiled. “Why are you snapping at me?” Her voice was so sweet that Marcus almost laughed. This woman is doing it on purpose. Selene clenched her fists. “I don't blame you. It's because Lucien allows you to follow him around that you think
Chapter 61
Marcus and Seraphine finally arrived at Selene's house. Considering the impression Selene, Garrick, and Dren had left on him, Marcus hadn't expected much. He'd imagined a dirty house with clothes scattered everywhere, cigarette butts on the floor, and perhaps a few suspicious substances lying around. After all, back on Earth, people who behaved like these three usually weren't the most responsible individuals. But the moment he stepped through the gates, he realized how wrong he'd been. Selene's house was enormous. The building stood behind a beautifully maintained garden, with several smaller buildings surrounding it. Workers moved around the compound, attending to different tasks, and one of them immediately approached to welcome Marcus and Seraphine. Holy shit. Marcus looked around in amazement. If Selene lived in a place like this, what kind of house did Lucien own? Oh, please let it be something nice. He was beginning to think there might actually be some advantages to
Chapter 60
Vyrella immediately understood that something much bigger had happened. She didn't have time to waste trying to open the letter. She needed to find Lucien. And quickly. “Vyrella?” A nervous voice suddenly came from the doorway. She turned sharply. A young boy was standing outside, looking as though he regretted speaking. Vyrella narrowed her eyes. “What?” The boy swallowed. “Are you looking for Nyxara?” Vyrella stepped closer. “Yes. Do you know where she is?” The boy shook his head. “Not exactly. But I saw what happened.” Vyrella stopped. “What happened?” The boy hesitated, clearly frightened. He'd seen Vyrella visiting Nyxara before, and he knew enough about demons to understand that angering one could be extremely dangerous. But Nyxara had always been kind to him. And he wanted someone to help her. “Some men came here,” he explained. “They weren't ordinary people. They were demons, and they came with Lord Malachar.” Vyrella's expression darkened. That bastard. “
Chapter 59
Vyrella finally reached the place where Nyxara used to live. It was an isolated building surrounded by dead trees, with a narrow path leading toward its entrance. The ground was covered in dark soil, and several strange objects hung from the branches. Most people would have turned around the moment they saw the place. Vyrella smiled. Oh, Nyxara. The woman had always enjoyed making visitors uncomfortable. As Vyrella walked along the path, she passed several skulls hanging from ropes. Some belonged to humans, while others came from creatures she couldn't immediately identify. A few of them still had their jaws moving. One skull turned toward her. Its empty eye sockets glowed faintly. Vyrella raised an eyebrow. “Still doing that ridiculous thing?” The skull opened its mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth. She laughed and continued walking. Nyxara had always enjoyed collecting strange things, especially objects that frightened ordinary people. She'd once told Vyrella that d

Marcus looked toward Seraphine. She was sitting up. For the first time since they'd escaped Edwin, her face looked slightly better. “The pain…” She touched her chest. “It's not as bad anymore.” Marcus blinked. Wait. It worked? Not completely, but he'd actually weakened Edwin's magic! He wanted to celebrate, but he quickly suppressed the grin spreading across his face. After all, he was supposed to be Lucien Veyr. The legendary Level 200 monster wouldn't celebrate after accomplishing something so small. “I could have removed the entire thing,” Marcus said casually. “But I got bored halfway through.” Seraphine stared at him. What? Marcus stood. “If you can walk, get up. We need to leave.” Seraphine's expression darkened. Of course. For a moment, she'd actually thought he was trying to help her because he cared. But apparently, he'd simply lost interest. Very wicked man. She pushed herself to her feet. “Fine. Let's—” A sudden pain shot through her chest. “ARGH!” S
Chapter 57
Seraphine was beginning to lose feeling in her arms. She'd experienced terrible injuries before, but this was different. The pain in her chest came in waves, and each one left her feeling weaker than the last. She knew Lucien could be cruel. In the past, he'd rarely bothered helping his contracted demons unless he wanted something from them. He knew they were difficult to kill, and he'd used that knowledge as an excuse to treat their suffering as an inconvenience. But something strange was happening now. Lucien was kneeling beside her, carefully manipulating a magical thread near her chest. Seraphine blinked. Wait. Was that Weaver magic? She watched him concentrate, his expression unusually serious. And the longer she watched, the more uncomfortable she became. The original Lucien had never been this patient. He preferred using overwhelming magical force to solve problems. If something was difficult, he usually found a way to force it into submission, even if that meant st
