Is That You, Husband?

Archdemon Empress Luna

'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'

This phrase had stuck into Luna's mind whenever she felt like dying.

Unfortunately, Archdemons like her don't die.

She chanted this like a mantra in situations where she felt so weak and vulnerable.

It was a prayer she would utter when her persecution began, which became a habit later on.

It was initiated by the Grand Torturer first--murmuring in that disembodied and distorted voice of his—that what doesn't kill Luna will make her stronger in the long run.

She believed it.

The Grand Torturer had told Luna once that she should count herself lucky that she was chosen to learn Archdemon Magic under the best Master, claiming that hardships, pain, and suffering will make her stronger and pick up these powers faster compared to others.
