Chapter 193. Uncanny Resemblance
At the upper floors of the grand library, Kaelira wandered aimlessly, hands tucked lazily into the pockets of her hoodie. The faint creaking of wooden floorboards echoed under her boots as she roamed.
She was trying—against every fiber of her being—to find anything remotely useful. Preferably something about Amethyst Lightning... or maybe even the world’s goddamn history.
She winced at the thought.
’Ugh... history is literally my worst subject. I never even went to a real school and I still hate it!’
Her nose scrunched up as she groaned. But despite her dramatic distaste, she kept walking. There was... something driving her. A stubborn itch beneath her skin that refused to leave.
More precisely, it was him—that fog-shrouded form of Cassius. Something about it made her feel like she was being pulled into a dream she didn’t understand. A silent, divine terror.
That form.
That form wasn’t normal. It wasn’t even remotely human. It was something beyond—unknowable and monstrous, yet so impossibly elegant. Holy and blasphemous all at once.
Just thinking about it gave her chills. Her spine tingled in the worst (and best) way imaginable.
It wasn’t just fascination anymore.
She was obsessed.
"...Tch. I’ll even study boring-ass history if that’s what it takes to understand it," she muttered, hugging herself with a little shudder, but there was a maniac glint in her eyes. "All for the thrill of the game."
