Chapter 52: Contact (2)
‘Ah.’
Pedro’s first impression upon being suddenly summoned by his master right before the major operation could be summed up in one word:
‘...I’m screwed.’
Because the very subordinates who should have summoned the Great Shadow instead of him were now scattered lifelessly on the floor, soaked in blood.
“Gr-Great Shadow...”
Pedro, trembling as he took in the scene in stunned silence, slowly lifted his head to try and ask the one standing before him for an explanation—
“Wh-what brings you to summon me...”
“...Did I say you could raise your head?”
“I—I’m sorry!!”
As the cold voice of the “Shadow” cut him off, Pedro quickly pressed his forehead back to the floor and rolled his eyes in panic.
‘Did he possess a man this time...?’
His master normally preferred possessing women, but there was no rule against choosing a male host.
