Chapter 566: Why Didn't You Say So Earlier? (1)

Crack... thud.

Next to the withered cherry blossom tree, Ishii Shinichi's eyes bulged, each socket a dark, bloody hole, through which he could only see unchanging darkness.

The sounds of flesh being chewed and swallowed filled his ears.

He wanted to struggle, but all of his strength seemed to have been drained away, leaving even his consciousness muddled as if the darkness of the entire sky was pressing down upon him.

Pat pat.

At that moment, he heard the sound of familiar footsteps. His lips trembling, Ishii Shinichi mustered all his strength to turn his head, but the thing growing out of his back was too large, completely restricting his movement.

Immediately after, he felt a familiar presence standing in front of him.

"Father... Father!"

Ishii Shinichi called out, struggling.

"Save me, please save me!"

Ishii Mitsugu's gaze was deep, his facial expression unchanged. He stood quietly in place, watching as his son was slowly devoured in his struggle.
