Chapter 264
It wasn't the look of someone resigned to defeat—it was the look of someone calculating, planning, waiting.
A predator looking down at its prey.
A peculiar feeling stirred within her as memories from her past resurfaced.

She recalled the incident of her past when she was just a child. Their home was atacked by human exorcists and she was with her uncle at that time who was fighting with the humans.
Her uncle was the commander of their estate and the head of the local army, the humans didn't stand much chance against his sinister powers and fell one by one like leaves of an old tree. Just as he was slaughtering the humans like pigs, she noticed something.
Amid the carnage, she noticed a woman among the humans—a woman who was glowing.
The memory flashed vividly in her mind, the woman's silhouette surrounded by a radiant aura that seemed to pierce through the blood and darkness of that day.
