372 Suffering

As Willow was swallowed up by the black mist, she herself remained perfectly still. It was almost like she couldn't find a reason to move anymore. Apollo didn't move either, simply watching as the black mist around her continued to get thicker.

It did not take long for Willow's entire figure to be obscured.

From the outside, it almost looked like she was in a black cocoon, though she probably wouldn't become a butterfly after breaking out. The process itself continued on for a few minutes, and it didn't look like it would end any time soon.

While that was happening, another person appeared high in the air, from the little girl's side.

It was an old man with a cane.

The moment he appeared in the air, Hex let out a gasp.

"Why he here?!"

Apollo blinked a few times.

"Who is he?"

Hex let out a frustrated hum.

"Bad person! Very bad person! Make me hurt very much!"

Apollo tilted his head to the side ever so slightly.
