Darkness Falls (VIII)

"T-This is…"

Nell froze at the sight of the fluttering tentacles. Even though she wasn't a Mage, she knew what they were because there were no lack of chances to interact with magic in both Carlesodar City and the Country of Darkness. At that moment, Nell revealed some fear in her eyes but shortly after, she came back to her senses, let out a snort, and lifted her head proudly to shoot a look of disdain at the young man before her.

"I thought you were gonna be an interesting human. It seems like you're just a lustful dog. Hmph. Lowly human. You can do whatever you want with me, but you would be a fool if you think that I'd surrender. Do you think I will tell you everything that you want to know, you maggot?"

"You can't say it this way, Miss. Nell."

The smile on Rhode's face didn't change at all. On the contrary, it widened into a grin.
