Chapter 259: The Heart Hungers
The corridor dimmed again. However, it did not do so due to the darkness present everywhere, but from the light within bending, reacting to the rippling energies coating the mirrors.
Aria’s staff lowered slowly, but her expression didn’t soften. Her silver eyes sparkled with ominous menace.
The Moon Valkyrie was a bubbly girl with an awesome heart, but when it came to monsters, she quickly learned that kindness didn’t lead to an interracial peace, only tragedy... Well, unless her boyfriend first subjugates the monster.
But the supermodel-like beauty would prefer if there were no more subjugated monsters, so long as being subjugated equaled getting sexually dominated by her man to such lengths that they swore eternal loyalty, which only served to add even more fuel to her decision to kill all monsters on sight.
Dead monsters couldn’t join the harem, right?
She liked Bastet a lot, but every new woman meant potentially less time for her to spend with Kai, so they simply had to die.
As for the effects of her moon barrage... All along the hallway, residue from her earlier [Lunar Arc] began to shimmer, pulsing in tempo with her heartbeat. The mirrors, once pristine and threatening, now looked... wounded with the silver veins in them.
She raised her staff again and let loose.
Another [Lunar Arc].
Then another.
And another.
Each silver crescent carved through the air with impossible elegance for a spell of destruction, kissing the mirror surfaces gently. The effects made Kaiden think of moonlight kissing a lake. The response, however, was anything but gentle and majestic. The afflicted glass convulsed with ripples. Whispers rose in the darkness, no longer taunting but desperate.
