Chapter 24 - Black Heart

A day had passed since I had beaten the Cyclops, and I was now back at the same place where its corpse had fallen. The Cyclops was still on the ground, not moving a single muscle just like I had asked him to.

There was something I had noticed when they had been fighting the Cyclops, and I became sure of it once I got closer. Someone had done something to it; there was something strange, related to its hunger.

The Cyclops had only been kept in my bag for one full day, which meant that he was obviously hungry, but for him to reach such a state where he was drooling every time he looked at a student…no, that was too much.

It was early morning, and pretty much everyone in the Academy was sleeping, giving me all the time in the world to examine the Cyclops. I had a small idea as to what had happened to it, but I wanted to be 100% sure. If I were right, then it would mean that the demons hadn't been eradicated from the face of this world and were still roaming it.
