I wanted to gouge out my eyes in hopes of forgetting that I ever saw such a horrendous sight, I don't need to be a genius to understand that he was punished for some reason and the one who could definitely punish him could only be Callidora.

"I don't think even my sister would be able to give me such a bad nightmare." (I)

"Shut your damn mouth, you damned bastard, son of Goblins and cub of..." (Maid??)

Before he finished his body disappeared without a trace, the only thing I caught a glimpse of was his fingertips being pulled down as if sinking before the ground remained completely normal as if nothing had happened.

"A real idiot should have done what he was ordered to do, but what's expected of someone stuck here for just 400 years." (Child??)

Suddenly I heard a voice and what sounded like a child, a girl from the Beastmen Race of the Cat Tribe.

She was walking towards me with a dignified posture, her clothes were slacks and a suit complete with a bow tie, her ears were big and her tail was very long as she moved smoothly behind her.

Her face was serious and eyes full of murderous intentions, it wasn't something directed at me, it seemed more like it was something natural for her, her posture as well as several other characteristics would be normal in an adult who works as a lawyer or a killer with great professionalism, but in the appearance of a child who was supposed to be innocent this was just bizarre.

"Who are you?" (I)

"My name doesn't matter and to be honest I can't even remember something so trivial anymore." (Child??)

"You just need to know that I came to replace that idiot who can't take a little humiliation." (Child??)

"What happened to him?" (I)

"His duty was to take you to the center of the target location when you arrived, but he couldn't wait for your delay by taking you ahead of time and then threw you there without explaining anything, all while insisting on taking off your chosen clothes, your pride It was what killed him at that time and even after death he didn't get rid of it." (Child??)

"He must now be wearing something much more shameful while surrounded by the kind of caring person or creature who will be more than happy to receive him." (Child??)

"..." (I)

Before she finished speaking I was already sitting on the floor trying to meditate to erase the image trying to form in my mind, sometimes having a mind with a strong imagination can be torturous, I did my best to try and leave my mind blank for a few minutes focusing in the recovery of my body going very well with excess vitality inside me, my head returned to normal as well as my entire body, only a few fingers were still regenerating.

When I was completely healed and my mind was calm once again after so many ridiculous events, I stood up looking at the child standing in front of me waiting for me.

"Why tell me what happened to him?" (I)

"Same reason as always, orders." (Child??)

"Callidora asked for this? Why?" (I) "That's a female name... I see, yes she wanted to tease you, she likes to tease people, especially those who catch her personal attention." (Child??)

"Like some kind of game?" (I)

"It seems that the child is intelligent, we are all pieces and toys in his hands, and how obedient we are when we go against his will... I don't think I need to be too specific now." (Child??)

"She also asked for this explanation, right?" (I)

"She doesn't just want to provoke me, she should have known about that Warrior's reaction to that kind of humiliation, she knew he would be punished for going against her and also prepared you to explain the rest..." (I)

"(She doesn't just want to provoke me, she's threatening me, showing those stronger than me being punished as a form of threat, she doesn't want me to go against her, she wants to feel control over the situation when it's my turn to act.)" (I)

"You catch on quickly, she knew you would, now let me take you to your next destination." (Child??)

"I thought I would need to follow the compass one more time." (I)

"No, this time the place will take a long time to arrive and she doesn't want to move things around anymore, so I'll take you." (Child??)

"(I already imagined that she was in control of everything.)" (I)

She was playing with me like a piece on a board where she changed everything as she wanted, I already knew that and now she's just showing off, she wants to show that she was playing with me this whole time.

"Can I rest first?" (I)

"..." (Child??)

"Can you rest until tomorrow?" (Child??)

She snaps her fingers and disappears, I look once again at the spectacle above me, all that Demonic energy making the space around her vibrate, and then I sit down once again not caring where we go next, most importantly Now it was time to meditate and rest my mind while recovering my very weakened Aura after days of fighting with my Aura Relic active.

------------------

The next day.

The next day I open my eyes feeling much better, my mind is lighter and my Aura was almost completely recovered, but when I opened my eyes I was in a white room facing the child from yesterday.

"Where are we?" (I)

"We are at your destination, as soon as a few hours passed I considered it to have been a day and brought you as you were." (Child??)

"Brought me where?" (I) "First of all, some pests have accumulated while waiting for you, so get rid of them." (Child??)

She snaps her fingers causing the ceiling to disintegrate while the walls fall back revealing a tropical forest where the trees have human skin and the fruits are mouthless heads.

Looking around I realized that it was night, the sky was dark green and there were no stars, what existed in the sky was a single bright eye moving in several directions.

Around me were several types of Demons, their lower bodies were bone tentacles, and their upper part had two very long plates with claws on their hands and two smaller arms with eyes on their palms, there was a head with the mouth part standing vertically on the chest with a long tongue sticking out of there.

There were hundreds of just this monster that I considered the strongest among those nearby, the others were wilder versions of the Demons I had encountered before and they all seemed to be controlled by the Demons that I considered more problematic.

"Do I need to kill them?" (I)

"No, and it wouldn't even help, most of them are Summoned Demons and those floating with the big mouth can't be killed." (Child??)

"Then there's no point in fighting." (I)

I look around and notice there are a lot of shadows everywhere, maybe it's because of the Light coming from the big eye in the sky or the many bizarre trees around, but this was a good environment for me.

"< Dark Magic: Shadow Prison >" (I)

I use my dark magic to connect my shadow with all the shadows around me within a distance of 1 kilometer or so in all directions.

Soon thousands of shadow tentacles surrounded by my Aura appear, pulling all the enemies in, most of them with ease while those that left me worried fight the most, needing dozens of tentacles on each one to be able to effortlessly pull them into the shadows.

"< Sacred Blood Seal >" (I)

I use my blood and Holy Power on my fingertip to write lines and Spiritual Runes forming dozens of rings rotating around the same point, then all the shadows under my control are pulled into these rings and soon a black sphere forms crystallizes with the rings becoming lines of Spiritual Runes on its surface.

"Then I can use it again just like I thought." (I)

"How did you know that the Holy Power was the only one that works on them?" (Child??)

"I didn't know, I used them to test, during the fight against the Demons before I felt my Sacred Power at a bad moment in the battle and I didn't want to take the risk of testing a new power without testing it in a calmer way, which I just did. do it now." (I)

"You knew their weakness and weren't going to tell me?" (I)

"It would be a question of order of elimination with each power that tried, I wanted to see their creativity, I didn't think I would get it right on the first try." (Child??)

"(So this was another test...)" (I)

"Come on, we're close." (Child??)

With that, she starts walking in one direction and I follow her, it takes a few minutes as we cross this tropical forest, everything in her path is crushed to the ground inches from touching her body creating a path of blood coming out of the flora crushed by her.

When I follow her everything changes once again, now we were on a beach of clear blue sand, an ocean of thick blood stretches beyond the horizon with endless clouds of dark miasma preventing us from seeing the sky.

I knew I had seen this scene before, the Colossal Butler showed it to me by "accident" that time, but I couldn't think about it for long as my blood boiled with fury, my heart raced and my murderous intent took over my mind as I realized what I was seeing, whoever I was seeing, was not able to believe the meaning of this significant vision.

"What does that mean, CALLIDORA!!!!!!!?????" (I)
