Facing The Nether

'U-uh…?!' I suddenly felt chills run down my spine and I felt the attention of both Ciel and her very very evil master.

They were both looking at me, and even though I was within the area of influence granted by [The Pope], I wasn't completely immune to the bloodlust I felt.

"Jared Leonard… Singularity… it has come to my notice that you were one of the obstacles that delayed my return. As a result, I will be eliminating you now." The Nether finally let go of Ciel and he slowly began to descend.

Right as Ciel was about to follow him, he stopped her. "Wait here. I'll take care of this quickly." He said.

Afterwards, he resumed his descent.

I felt a menacing glare from Ciel on me, for some reason. This glare finally transformed into a very malevolent gaze—one that felt like she was waiting for me to get what was coming to me.

I had no luxury to dwell on the meaning behind her expression, though. After all, the Nether had just said something I couldn't ignore.
