Chapter 98: Aimee\'s death (3)
Since the soul was weaved with flesh, and Aimee had taken too much of the soul without proper preparation, let alone sufficient body to contain so much of them, she was now dotted with cracks peeling off, showing how her flesh burned into nothingness, leaving only bones.
And yet, she dared to talk about sex!
"I won\'t let you die… I won\'t!" Hunter knelt beside Aimee and grasped her hand, squeezing his brain to come up with something to save his girlfriend.
Aimee faintly smiled, "You… want to eat… me so… much?"
"Shut up! Don\'t talk right now!" Hunter shouted back, closing his eyes.
Looking up at him, Aimee bit her lips and carried on with the talk, "You were… fated… to meet a stubborn woman. I selfishly decided to harness the souls of the lake and run away from this place. I never wanted to be imprisoned and wait for you to save us… I was compelled to act…"
"You did great! All of you did great! I\'m proud to have you on my team! We faced real demons that no newbie like us should ever face! We all did well! That\'s why… that\'s why don\'t talk like you are dead… I will come up with something! I will stop your death!" Hunter replied while trying to curve his lips into a smile, looking miserable with wet streaks and tears drenching his face.
Seraphina and Mayun were already crying across them.
"You don\'t hate me? After your sacrifice…" Aimee asked.
"I would never hate you for something like that!" Hunter replied, his brain burning from the ideas he was thinking of to save Aimee.
She was a precious woman that he wanted to be with for an eternity. He wanted to keep crafting their relationship and adequately react to their development, for Aimee was a woman full of ambition and talent, ready to surprise him in the most unpredictable moments.
Their time had just begun…
How could it end so fast?
Why did they have to meet demons so early on their adventure?
[Kill them.]
[Kill more demons.]
[Leave this place and search for them.]
[Sniff them out.]
His heart drummed with madness, which was goading him to turn into a demon hunter. For a moment, it sounded like the best choice for now, for Aimee was truly beyond saving.
It\'d be best to just go… and kill demons to drown himself in their blood to wash off his hatred toward them.
But Hunter quickly put the madness back in its place.
\'What kind of a man would I be if I left my woman when she needed me the most?! Shut up!\' Hunter ordered the madness to leave him alone.
He held Aimee\'s hand, trying to think of a way to save her.
His current best idea was to turn Aimee into an undead through Death\'s Honor.
It could work…
The problem was that Hunter knew only about dullahans the best as it awakened within him first. He had turned corpses into ghouls, but that was because the madness supported him.
He now had more knowledge about them, but was that enough?
Was dullahan race enough to save Aimee?
Was ghoul enough?
What was enough?
His heart drummed then.
[What do you want to do?]
\'I want her to live, of course! Can\'t you see? Aimee is a woman I deemed my Death Queen! She can\'t die! We\'ll reach the black castle together and sit on the throne together there!\' Hunter inwardly yelled at the madness.
Which quickened his heartbeat.
[That desire… matches… with his…]
In the next second, the time froze, and Hunter was taken to his gray world.
-
Hunter tried to open his eyes, but the bright light didn\'t allow him to.
Soon, he adapted and was able to see the gray clouds from up close.
Which shocked him, for he believed he was at the top of the highest mountain!
Turning around, his heart skipped a beat, as he noticed the black castle\'s back. It was so close yet far, perched intimidatingly, with the unique omega letter etched in the sky above it.
The letter had a line like a smile, which actually seemed to have smiled at Hunter.
[Look ahead. That\'s where your goal is.]
The madness drummed within Hunter, telling him to go forward.
"I must go back to Aimee! What did you bring me here for?! I\'m glad we are finding a more common language, but that\'s not time for that! She needs me!" Hunter complained with his hands clenched.
[Think. I brought you here to save her.]
Which was enough to calm down Hunter and make him follow the madness\' words.
Soon, Hunter stood before the oval stone on which were carved some unique letters.
The madness once again drummed.
[It\'s a teleport to the graveyard.]
"Graveyard? You!"
[There are drops of divine blood, all that were defeated by him. If you deem this woman your Death Queen, you should be prepared to turn her into a divine existence. You\'re divine, in case you haven\'t noticed it yet. The blood of divines is the origin of mana in the low worlds and even spirit and demon worlds. You were taught that already, didn\'t you? Focus on your lessons!]
"So I must go and… pick up a blood?" Hunter asked, itching to enter this graveyard to get divine blood for Aimee. "Will it be enough to save her?"
[Moron. What do you think the divine blood is? It will reconstruct her body and give her a new, better life. Nothing comes without a price, however. In this graveyard, the drops of divines have already taken forms. They are trying to open their graves and return to life… naive fools. Even divines are idiots! Haha!]
"And you still call me a moron!" Hunter complained. "If they have taken a form, it means I must fight them, right?"
[Correct. Fight the blood you want to harvest and clean it off the previous owner\'s memories. You\'ll have my aid again in this place, for feelings of him are compelling me to assist you.]
"Who is him?"
[You really have to ask me that?]
Hunter turned around and glanced at the black castle… "I guess not."
