Chapter 770: The Promise to Protect Him
Davey's expression was peaceful. Perserque left the Asgard cabin, leaving Davey sleeping soundly behind. She had a light robe on. Despite the airship Asgard being designed mostly to Davey's tastes, it still bore traces of her own preferences.
Facing the vast sky with the wind lightly blowing, she quietly closed her eyes. She still found it hard to believe all that had happened.
“It’s a miracle…” she murmured.
Though gods existed, miracles still seemed like a distant rarity. Davey had unexpectedly pulled out the authority of the Abyss, the root of Thanatos, from her. To be frank, she hadn’t expected him to push Thanatos away with only the means he had available. Yet, he succeeded in using the power of god to expel most of the authority of the Abyss within her.
Of course, it had come with a price—her soul had been dragged into the depths of the Abyss by Thanatos’s authority.
In a way, it was fortunate that things had turned out this way; she had always known she would get pulled in there, destined to happen regardless of whatever measures Davey took. As such, she had prepared extensively, coming up with ways to still support Davey in the case of her absence.
However, contrary to her expectations, Davey recklessly went into the Abyss and ultimately managed to save her.
To be frank, she had no idea how he had felt her presence. Despite having been engulfed in endless darkness, she had still managed to sense Davey trudging toward her. She instinctively cried out and played a song for him.
Her voice and notes shouldn't have been able to reach him, nor should he have been able to find her—the Abyss was a space that obscured even what was directly in front of one’s eyes. But then, for a brief moment, a light appeared and opened a small gap between them.
