Chapter 234: Assisting the Experiment
As those pitch-black demonic claws snatched at the air, Ansu felt his body stiffen as if bound by invisible chains.
The surrounding space distorted, and his Shield spell failed to hold at all, shredded instantly before that absolute power.
In the next second, he was yanked right in front of Celia by that force.
Celia narrowed her unsettling, blood-red eyes and stared at him, her voice hoarse and dangerous. "Why are you running? Didn't I ask you to assist me with the experiment?"
She leaned in even closer. Her fair cheek seemed to crack, adding another black crack that faintly leaked dark energy.
"Do you despise me? Or are you afraid of me?" Celia snorted, her tone a mix of resentment and anger. "Didn't you promise to stay with me forever! What... are you trying to go back on your word?"
Ansu was speechless at her series of baseless accusations. He could only steady his mind and look her in the eyes to explain.
"Of course I don't despise you, nor am I afraid... and I haven't gone back on my word."
Celia's eyes flickered slightly, and her tense expression relaxed a bit.
