48 THE GREAT DEFEAT

"WHEN DID THIS ALL START?!" Azazel snared at Penemue as soon as he was released from the parallel memory lane. He scowled at the woman sitting beside him. The surroundings has reverted to the old mansion and it caused him to be baffled even more. His arms are still tied behind his back while he stayed lying on the floor.

"From when we rescued the Guardian." She answered calmly. There was no fear in her eyes.

"That Louie huh?.. DESPICABLE!" 

"I didn't know you will fall for this trap easily, Azazel."

"SHUT UP!! SO YOU HAVE BEEN LAUGHING AT ME ALL THIS TIME??!!"

"It was indeed hilarious Azazel! You were so caught up in your imagination that you were not able to identify your reality from delusion!" Derick interrupted and stated his comment to also provoke the enemy.

"You can no longer escape Azazel!" Sophia emerged from behind. Beside her is Nathalie - both of them are alive and well.

"My daughter! You did wake up!"
