Chapter 286 Deimos, the Dark Eye 2 (2/2)
No matter how many times you come back, the pain is all real, is it not? Does that not ain and again?
Is that not what Etould have wanted?"
"No, she would have wanted me to rest" Deimos rubbed his eyes, tired
"Not true Come, listen, see, hear, feel her pain as the flames melted her skin, then her flesh, then her bone" The white eye spots on Nilah's mask flashed
Deiht…all that pain - someone needs to answer for it…"
"And the rules of this realht in the naht"
Aldrich started to cast [boneripper], wondering if he could abuse Deimos's emotional instability and sneak in a one shot kill
"Can we help hi to hiht us"
Aldrich stopped casting [boneripper] It orth a shot If only because he had little hopes that his one shot kill strategy would work As long as Nilah was around, she could force Aldrich back
"No," Aldrich called out He landed on the burned treetop arena, a dozen ure "You don't have to fight You can break the rules here You can rise above your progra You don't have to listen to the demon
Make your own choice, Deimos"
"My… His voice cracked, confused
"Yes, your own choice You've fought and suffered long enough You can rest now But it has to be your choice"
"Rest…rest…that does sound nice…" Deimos closed his eyes
"Rest? And let your sister's pain and suffering be in vain? Do you think she will forgive you if you rest while she died in agony?" Nilah chastised Deie her" Deiain He balled his fists He stared at Aldrich with renewed hatred Hatred that sharpened the jagged edges of vengeance
"That isn't true," said Aldrich Looking at Deio, back when his vengeance was hot, when it consuone, and she's been long gone You knew she was a good girl ould have wanted nothing but the best for you
Tell me, Deimos, is this the best for you? Is all this -," Aldrichash all around them "What she would have wanted?"
"No…she would have hated this She would have hatedinto his hair, into his head
"Yes, she would have hated you Hated you for letting her suffer," said Nilah
"I don't want her to hate e her"
"No Rest" Aldrich countered "Rest, Deio She doesn't hate you, and you know that You know she would never blame you for what happened"
"She was nice…she wouldn't have blaht" Aldrich walked closer to Deih that he could reach out and touch hie "She would have wanted you to stop this She wouldn't have wanted you under a demon's control She would have wanted you free
Free to let go"
"Free…" Deimos nodded weakly He turned to Nilah "I want to be…free I don't want you anymore"
"Hm I did not expect this" Nilah's head snaked back She jerked her head to Aldrich, facing him with an unnatural snap of a motion "But too late, player"
Nilah opened her jaw, and Aldrich stepped back, wary of an attack
Instead, Nilah bit down on Deimos's head She sed him whole like a python, and the shape of Deiainst her scaly skin
"No! No!" Deimos shouted, his cries ed halberd point right at Nilah's y erupted fro the serpent de
Aldrich skidded to a halt on one knee He leered as he got a visual of Nilah
The s cleared up Nilah stepped forward She had completely fused with Deimos's body and taken it over
"That was an interesting discussion," said Nilah "You almost tookI am one with him now"
