844 Just when the damn hell will you die?
"Tilly!"
Law's voice rang in the underground space, shaking Tilly's body. Just a moment ago, Tilly approached the demon they found. However, just as Tilly touched the ground that was covered with a dark and thick fluid, she passed out.
Law had to run to her and tried his best to wake her up. Not like Tilly had inflicted any injury or wasn't showing any sign of life. Still, it alarmed Law for they were in a place full of uncertainties and danger. Carrying her would be troublesome, even though he was so sure Tilly weighed like a feather.
"Til -"
GASP!
Law flinched, almost jumping back when Tilly snapped her eyes open and gasped at the same time. His eyes shook slightly before leaning closer to her again.
"Tilly, are you alright??" he asked worriedly, moving back as she sat up. "What happened?" Tilly didn't respond but looked back. The demon was still hanging where it was, but she could feel its gaze. Iler complexion was still pale, but her expression wasn't as monotonous as before. "Tilly-"
"Law, leave this place."
"What?"
"Leave this place." Tilly slowly set her eyes back to Law, her eyes sharp. "Search for Samael and tell him where I am."
Law opened and closed his mouth, but his tongue kept rolling back. He didn't know which question to ask first; this was quite abrupt and not their plan.
"After that, let everyone know to stop all the killing," she continued, confusing Law even more, as she almost couldn't recognize Tilly.
The Tilly he knew and lived with for years was akin to a leaf drifting to where the wind blows. Nothing ever bothered Tilly; even when others lied and point their fingers at her, she wouldn't bother explaining herself. She wouldn't even cat on other days just because he was lazy to chew!
In other words, Tilly could be very slothful.
To see her eyes full of life and give him instructions was surely something Law never expected. Although it was supposed to be expected with the situation they were in, Law still didn't see it coming. Tilly was the last person to use her head and give instructions. She might just do something else on her own at best.
"We have no time, Law. Tilly grabbed Law's shoulder and squeezed them slightly, searching for the latter's eyes to look back at her. "Did you hear me? You cannot stay here."
"But why?" he blurted out.
A part of Law wanted to blindly listen to her instruction without raising questions or concerns. But before he could nod and obey, that question already flew out of his mouth.
Why?
Tilly drew her lips into a thin line, retrieving her hands from his shoulders. She slowly turned her back against him, facing the demon hanging before them. Iler eyes were sharp and her expression was stiff.
"This demon is feeding off from every blood that is shed in this land, Law. It doesn't matter if they were humans, vampires, or animals. The more blood that is shed, the more it gets strong," explained Tilly, keeping it short but precise. "However, that isn't the only problem."
She narrowed her eyes, looking back at the demon that felt like it was looking back at her.
"That is only the tip of the iceberg. Soon, blood wouldn't be enough for it and starts cating everyone's soul, our time, and our life." Her eyes fell on the dripping black fluid underneath it. "I need Samael for it. His real enemy is right here!
Law held his breath, darting his eyes between Tilly's back and the demon before her. He bit his tongue, holding back whatever questions he had at the back of his head. freewēbnoveℓ.com
"I understand. I le nodded, gripping his hands tightly to his side. "Are you going to stay here?" "Someone has to stop it from wanting more than a Grimsbanne"
"Will you die?"
Tilly didn't respond, eyes fixed on the demon before her. Meanwhile, Law just stared at her back.
"Don't die," he said under his breath. "If you die, I will eat all the biscuits you hid under your bed." Law relaxed his shoulders and huffed. I le gritted his teeth, turning his back against her.
"I'll call Father and bring him here," he said just as he took a step away. "This is my first mission all alone, after all."
With that being said, Law walked away, taking to the route they had taken. Never once did he look back on her, forcing himself to take every step away whilst telling himself nothing bad would happen to her.
Law wouldn't worry if Tilly wasn't so slothful and had displayed what she could do if pushed to the corner. However, throughout Law's life, he had never seen her do anything but ridiculous things. Therefore, the existence of a growing worry in his heart. He wouldn't feel this way if Tilly was like his mother or father, whom he was aware could overcome whatever battle that would come their way.
"Tilly...' Law's expression darkened, leaving the stairs from the underground. 'You better not die!

[COLOSSEUM]
GASP!
Samacl gasped for air as he was pulled out of the memory, his consciousness was dragged in. He snapped his shaking eyes until they settled, gazing at Tristan, that was looking back at him with shock. The severed head had one missing eye with blood rolling down his cheek.
"Hah..." he huffed, clicking his tongue in irritation. ... now I don't know if it's still beneficial to keep you."
BOOGSH!
Samael jumped from his spot on instinct when he felt a threat approaching his territory. Mid-air, he gazed down at the black threads that plunged into the concrete ground. I le clenched his teeth, irritated.
"Just when the damn hell..." he drew a deep breath, gripping the head's hair tightly as he pulled his hand back.... will you die?!"
Along with his shout, Samacl threw the head in irritation straight to the black thread. But before the head could land on the black thread, the tip of his Catharsis shone, creating a black sphere surrounded with red lightning.
He clenched his teeth even tighter and, without a second hesitation, flung his arm down, catapulting straight down to end this nuisance once and for all.
