"Damn it!" Adrien cursed under his breath, glaring at the towering tree giant approaching him, his face twisted with frustration as he gritted his teeth.
Just as Luca had guessed, Adrien was stalling for time.
His body was halfway through the process of demonic transformation, and the ritual was at its most critical stage.
As long as the ritual succeeded, he could discard his frail, decaying body and, through the power of the Undead Coffin, be reborn.
At that point, even if Luna herself showed up, she would be doomed.
But Adrien never could have imagined that, at such a crucial moment, a strange young man would somehow break into the Demon-Sealing Formation.
He still didn't understand how Luca had gotten inside...
But that no longer mattered.
