Chapter 68: Rescuing Grays Sister: Part 2 (2/2)

Turning back to the staircase where the two horned ones were, they suddenly saw Gray appear above them, his arms stretched out heading towards the horned ones head.

It happened so fast, that by the time they had realized it, it was too late. He had already tapped them.

[Pause]

Aurora and Violet watched with surprise as he proceeded to knee them both before landing a side kick on the side of their heads. He then turned to the two, his yellow eyes had grown dark and a saddened smile could be seen on his face as he uttered. ”Close your eyes.”

Feeling chills rush down their spine, they did as he said. Closing their eyes. Despite that, curiosity had forced them to open it so that they would see what exactly he would do.

They wish they hadn't.

In a flash, Gray had decapitated both of the horned ones who could do nothing but stand there before him. During that moment, a quiet whisper could be heard. ”Sorry.”

Their eyes widened, as they watched the two horned one's heads flop to the floor. It was the first time they had seen Gray kill an actual person rather than a zombie.

Although they were a different race, the horned ones resembled humans, they would have been indistinguishable if not for the horns and other certain features which they had yet to discover, it would have been impossible to spot the difference.

And yet without a hint of hesitation, he killed them.

Gray hadn't specifically told them that the horned one he had captured had died either, they never bothered to ask what happened to him.

But now… They couldn't help but wonder. How did Gray acquire all that information? It didn't take much thinking to figure it out. Torture. Had he always been like this? If not, was it the fear of losing his sister that was putting him on edge?

They didn't know, neither did they want to. Seeing this side of Gray… The darkness in his eyes, it hurt…

At the time, there was no way they could have imagined the source of the darkness within him, the contents of the notification he had received right after they had crossed through the space in the labyrinth.

[You have entered a labyrinth.]
