Location: Black Eclipse Circle — Abyssal Sanctum
The high priest stood beside Yuuta, holding the ceremonial dagger above the young man's chest. Around the crimson altar, several priests continued restraining his arms and legs, preventing him from escaping the sacrifice that was about to take place.
Yuuta desperately shook his head, his tear-filled eyes following the blade hovering above him. He struggled against the hands holding him down, but no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't break free.
"MMMGH! MMMGH!"
Valthor raised his voice, addressing the thousands of demons gathered around the Black Eclipse Circle.
"May the injustice committed against our Great Mother finally come to an end!"
His fingers tightened around the dagger.
"And may her children be freed from the curse of heaven!"
Among the gathered demons, Allen's expression suddenly changed.
"Wait..."
But Valthor had already brought his arm down.
The ceremonial dagger plunged toward Yuuta's heart.
Slash!
