Chapter 238: The Sacrifice
The house, realizing that something wasn’t quite right, turned its attention away from the game it was playing with the guys and toward me. I could feel the rage pouring out of it as it realized that I was hurt and in pain.
The wooden boards under my feet turned red as the outside walls of the house started to bleed. Everything seemed to pulse as if the house’s heart was beating, the vibrations something only the three of us could feel.
"Tsk," I smiled at the two soldiers, who finally seemed to realize that there wasn’t something quite right with the world. "You would have gone far in this new world," I continued, touching my cheek.
Pulling back my hand, I studied the blood on it. It was weird. While I had initially felt the pain, and I bled, the skin under the blood had already knitted back together like nothing had happened.
Now, wasn’t that interesting?
Cracking my neck from side to side, I smiled brightly at the men. "You are powerful and in more ways than one. And yet, you chose to follow someone else instead of doing what you wanted. Truly a waste of talent."
The house was sending me a feeling, like it knew exactly what to do next. Shrugging my shoulders, I waved my hand.
"I guess today is as good of a day to die as any other," I sighed. "Maybe, if you get another life... be smarter? Don’t mindlessly follow someone to your deaths."
"Adam is my commander," snarled the man on the left. "It is an honor to die in the pursuit of what is right."
