149 – Descend

Candice's heart felt like it would explode from beating too fast. Her cold sweat started flowing even though it was winter now. She peeked from an alley, watching Vorn in the distance.

The demon lord was lifting the prophet's body using both hands.

Is Velvet dead? Candice can't stand that. It was only a while ago that the two of them had spoken.

And now she can't see her best friend anymore? If things ended like this, why did they have to fight in the first place?

Vorn suddenly turned his head to Candice. The woman winced violently, quickly pulled herself up, and ran.

"I'm sorry, Vel." That woman hissed. Her tears couldn't be stopped anymore.

She couldn't imagine what she should say to Velvet's mother. And also, she doesn't know what she should do without Velvet.

Now, the prophet is no longer there.
