Chapter 397: You’re Weak
Sora’s consciousness drifted into darkness, and his mind sank into a void. Then, gradually, his senses returned.
At first, everything was black—an endless dark stretching in all directions. It was silent except for a faint breathing coming from something large.
"Where am I?" he asked himself.
Was he dead? His heart pounded at the thought.
Then, in the darkness, suddenly appeared a pair of huge, glowing white teeth grinning at him. They were set in a broad, monstrous mouth, causing Sora’s body to immediately tense up.
Fear gripped him and froze him in place as a deep, growling voice broke the silence.
"Why so scared?"
"Who... who are you?" Sora managed.
The creature’s voice was rough, echoing across the emptiness as it plainly declared, almost casually, "I am the demon that lives inside you."
Sora was more than confused; he thought he was hallucinating, like he was trapped in some twisted genjutsu. Surely, he had to have been captured by the Akatsuki, or some other enemy, and this was all a trick.
But then, the creature let out a long, evil laugh.
"Ryugetsu told me you’d be weak," it bluntly said.
