Her voice was extremely flustered at my proposal, but what choice did I have? Die?
"No, not at all!" I could practically hear her blushing. "Forgive me, but… prepare—prepare to die."
"No!"
Before I could react, the Ninth Yin Heaven Shard trembled.
A sudden pull—deep, unnatural—yanked at my bones.
"What? What are you doing?!"
"Your bones are full of Yang essence. They will aid in my recovery. Do not worry—I will erect a shrine in your name and memory once I regain my former glory."
"FUCK THIS! Fuck your sweet-talking! Fuck my shrine! Fuck YOU!"
I couldn't move.
I felt it—my **will, my liveliness, my bright outlook on life—**all my happy memories—being drained out of me.
A creeping emptiness.
Like my soul itself was fading.
"You DEMENTOR BITCH! LET ME GO!"
Then—soft sobbing.
"I… I am… I am sorry… but I have to kill you."
