Chapter 256: The Plan To Devour
I stared at the massive serpent, completely thrown off by what she’d just said. For a moment, I thought I’d misheard her.
I coughed awkwardly, trying to make sense of it.
“Did you just say… Phantom?”
Lily nodded slowly, her glowing eyes steady on mine.
“Yes. You asked me what I wanted in return, didn’t you?”
I gave her a cautious nod, already feeling a sense of unease build in my chest. Something about her tone told me this wasn’t going to be a simple favor.
“Then this is my requirement,” she said firmly. “The Phantom Azalea once searched for. The one she tried to fuse with, but failed. I want you to take that Phantom as your summon.”
Her words hit me like a cold wind slamming into my face. All trace of casualness dropped from my expression. That wasn’t just any request—it was layered with risk and weight. A lot more than I expected.
I clenched my fists slightly.
“And where exactly… is this Phantom now?”
“Behind the door,” she said, her tone softening. Then she sighed and continued, her voice calm but heavy with memory.
