Chapter 82: The Mold Attacks (1/2)
-----
Hm?
Where am I?
I suddenly wake up in… my dreams?
This place… it is familiar…
I haven't gotten in here for some time now…
A sudden chill takes hold of my entire being, as I sense that my heart is beating faster.
This feeling of dread… of desperation…
This eternal darkness where I am…
This place is… nowhere else than that place…
The Abyssal Cage were… the Mold once caged me inside.
I glance around and I only find eternal and twisting darkness.
I begin to tremble as I feel like I am bout to become completely paralyzed.
No matter how much I try, I can't help it… I begin to tremble again and again.
I feel weak…
”Miranda…”
A sudden voice speaks to me… I know who you are…
This voice is… my own, but different.
I slowly move to my back, as I see a mass of black ooze bubbling around, moving like a slug towards me.
”Miiiiii… raaaaannn… daaaaaa….!”
The cracking, ear-piercing voice of the creature in front of me makes me instinctively fear for my entire being, I fall over my butt as I begin to grit my teeth, the pain I am feeling is so well known, and traumas of my past quickly take over my mind…
No…
I thought you were dead!
Why? Why are you coming back?
I can't let… these traumas take over me anymore!
But… Ungh…! I am scarred…
I am so… scared…!
It keeps moving… crawling to me and gibbering, pulsating grotesquely… it groans as if it had a million voices.
”Miiiiii… raaaaannn… daaaaaa….!”
Why…?! Why are you back?
Let me go! Go away!
”You can't… escape from meeeeee…!” it groans, as its entire body expands like black tentacles, rushing towards me!
No…! NO!
The tentacles quickly entangle my defenseless body, crushing me with the strength of a monster.
It hurts so much…
Make it stop…
Please, MAKE IT STOP!
”Hehe… Hehehehe… Miraaaaanndddaaaaa…!”
”You can't…”
”Escape…”
”From me!”
STOP! AAAAAGGHH!

[Day 64]
The last three days we have been sparring with Benladann like there's no tomorrow, while also enhancing our physical strength through exercises of all kinds and also our Mana and Magic through Group Cultivation with the Wolf Pack, some of the oldest wolves had actually Ranked Up, and became strong Middle Stage wolves, while Frost is closer to Peak Stage.
Yesterday we ended up staying with the wolves, as Benladann was resting over several of them, their warm fur and soft, scale-less bodies are way better than mine, that's for sure.
She's sleeping peacefully so- Eh?
Wait, she's not.
”Stop… Sto… Stop…! I don't… I don't want to… AGH…! AAAAAAAGGH!”
Suddenly, Benladann begins to scream as if they were torturing her!
What is going on?!
I rush towards her as I try to wake her up, the other wolves notice her screams as they become alert.
”WOOF! WOOF!”
Frost suddenly begins to bark! What is going on?
It seems that he's sensing something with a strong bloodthirst from within Benladann… Because I can clearly sense it too!
And then, as I try to wake her up by throwing her water over her face, which seems to not be working, her status suddenly changes into [Possessed]!
Even worst, her Name acquires the [Miranda] name in brackets! What?!
