---- 273.


    EMBOSCADA NARRATOR As Sigrid and Ss passed through the hall where Lucrecia had first taken them, they witnessed the devastation left behind.


    They continued moving through the same dark corridors.


    Sigrid wasnt feeling well; that treacherous stab wound still burned in her chest, but she didnt want to worry Ss.


    Something kept her clinging tightly to him.


    The truth was, she was afraid, She squeezed his hand tightly when they reached the entrance.


    The statues marking the ess point stood in the underground zone.


    The cold night breeze hit their faces through the enormous hole above their heads.


    Ss pulled her close by the waist, pressing a kiss to her forehead with overwhelming love, obsessed with always keeping her near his body.


    He was utterly surrendered to this womanhe only regretted not seeing her fully, revealing her true form.


    Enormous dark wings unfurled from his back like mist.


    He propelled himself into the heights, his Selenia always protected by his side As they soared through the air, they looked down like superior ---- beings upon the towering hedges of thebyrinth, now stained with blood everywhere.


    Some figures could still be seen escaping.


    Sigrid knew that Renata would take this opportunity to eliminate all remaining threats, not just the Silvers, but also their allies anyone who might oppose the power of the Selenias.


    ss, take me home, she whispered.


    She couldnt care less about the power struggles of this era She had achieved her goal: destroying that damn Lucrecia, avenging Ss, and satisfying her own hatred.


    And she had freed the ve, who, in the end, had nothing to do with the Goddesss mission.


    But well, another wretched soul had been saved.


    The massive wings beat against the wind, carrying them toward the forested area surrounding thebyrinth.


    Ss was dying to have her beneath him, bare for him, making love to her deliciously while giving her his dark magic.


    The craving to possess her, to love her, made him rush.


    Their clothes billowed wildly, and her hair danced with the breeze.


    Those who saw him from below couldnt help but lift their heads in awe, staring in astonishment at his majestic, incredibly powerful form.
