Chapter 494 – Vessel
Inside a small corner, one of the few alleys where the light didn't reach and shadows proliferated, Rue Octave was sitting, his back against the smooth but cold wall.
His breathing was shallow and raspy, beads of sweat soaking his face and whole body in a worrying way.
His eyes were wide open, the color of his pupils changing between golden and golden. The two seemed alike, but the difference was all too apparent.
His hand was dripping with golden blood, coming from the corpse of Castria sprawled on the ground on his left side.
Castria's head was cracked open; the place where the brain should be now nothing but eerie emptiness.
The sight was chilling, and Rue was drowning in fear.
He didn't know why he killed his friend. He didn't know why he took out the brain and ate it.
But Rue also realized that it no longer mattered.
Instead of Castria's soul going to the Spirit World, it was absorbed inside his own soul. And with two souls, Rue was no longer Rue.
