"Death Domain."
The moment I activated it, an indescribable and terrifying aura emitted from my body.
A black ring spread beneath my feet.
All the sounds died.
For the first time, I wasn't thinking about what to do next. I didn't need to… I was certain that everything would turn out in my favor.
Cristine? No—it's Nyth Valeshade…
So that girl was her.
All it took was my Domain to barely glaze her body for me to identify who she really was.
I slowly stepped forward toward them.
They both didn't seem able to move.
Both Ruby and Nyth froze in their places.
As I walked just behind Nyth, to help Ruby out, the sword in Nyth's hand slightly trembled.
Her back was facing me. She didn't know yet it was me. She never got the chance to turn her head.
Only Ruby saw me walk. And as she did, her entire being froze. Eyes widened in disbelief, lips parted in awe, and that look on her face, with the finest hint of aghastness.
