Chapter 157: Stronger than ever

Blood-soaked laughs seeped out of Eugene's lips. The very sight of Kaiser completely destroying the demons with a single punch sent shivers down his spine.

Power.

Unfathomable power.

The power to do anything and everything one wanted.

Eugene wanted it.

Just being the strongest didn't cut it after all. Just bringing down the taller towers didn't satisfy him.

Even as his body screamed. Even as his veins burned. Even his heart ached.

His soul yearned.

A yearning that made him forget all his pain, all his discomforts. A yearning that left only desire in his being.

Not enough. The demons he had killed were not enough.

The strength he had amassed was not enough.

More. More.

Right then, Eugene felt a soft tug at his chest.

He turned his gaze up and saw a veiled woman hugging from the back. She slowly leaned ahead and rested her head on his shoulder, just enough to make him feel her presence, but not enough to discomfort him in any way.
