"Lying to myself often? Hahaha..." Mark pushed himself off the ground despite the shaking of his limbs. The world around him was still spinning. "It's lying... That I do often."
"It'd be easier to just die. Too many things consume you. Die to me, and I'll give you life once more."
"Oh, wow! A third life, doesn't that sound nice! A third beginning. Another chance to start again... Failing twice would hurt a bit too much though, I'll pass."
"You'll pass?"
"Well, yeah. If I can't use that Skill because of my Underlings... Then I definitely wouldn't want something like that used on me."
"Still, I will use it on you."
"Mm..."
"Wouldn't you rather go easily? I rather enjoyed our discussion. I would rather not have to bend your Soul too much. If you start hating me, it'll be harder to make your my Underling while keeping your Soul-"
"Hate you? Me? Hahaha. There's no way I would. After all..." Despite the white-scaled Monster's words, the look in its eyes was definitely one filled with hatred. "You know me better than anyone."
"Do I now?" The Undead Lich wondered towards whom that hatred was directed.
"Yeah. You're the only one to know my secret after all. No, that's not actually true. Truth is... You're the only one I told about it to."
"I'm honored?" The Undead Lich shrugged.
Why didn't I tell them?
Why didn't I tell her?
I should have told her the truth. I should have...
Instead, I insisted on her seeing me as a Monster.
So many times, I reminded her of it.
Why?
"I guess... It's just easier being a Monster, you know?"
"No. I don't know." The Undead Lich scratched its bony cheek.
"It is easier..." Mark whispered as he lowered his gaze to the ground for a couple of seconds. "There was a time... When I told myself I wouldn't be shackled by my past. By my preconceptions of right and wrong."
"I suppose that is necessary to become... Or after becoming a Monster."
"Whether I was a good or bad person, a doctor or a killer, I'll forget about it all, and focus on this life. But I couldn't do that."
"Leaving the past is no easy-"
Mark stared as the Commander fell to the ground centimeters away from his feet.
Its body had been cut vertically.
No, it hadn't been cut. Not exactly, at least.
The middle was missing. It had been stolen.
Devoured by the Darkness.
"Dark Magic..." Mark turned towards the Undead Lich. "Is pretty scary."
'Was that even Dark Magic? Was it his Aura taking on the form of... It can't be his Aura! Aura wouldn't make it disappear! That's undoubtedly something that only Dark Magic can do! But how? I didn't sense it until... His Aura... His entire being is that close? That close to darkness?'
Mark immediately crouched and started eating.
The two Commanders ran forward!
A tail flick and a kick were approaching.
At the last second,
"That... That move...?"
The Commanders jumped away!
One of them had lost part of its tail. The other, its left foot.
'Using Dark Magic that way... Delaying its use until the last moment to take away their... Turning a defensive move into an offensive one! That's exactly what he used to do! No matter how many times we told him not to... He kept using it that way... Ha! That takes me back, truly!'
Two dozen meters away, hidden below a dark veil, the white-scaled Monster Devoured its meal.
Under the dark dome, a Commander's unmoving body, the end of a tail, and a foot.
The white-scaled Monster wouldn't leave that dome until all was Devoured.
The speed of that darkness, the quietness, the shade...
Ominous, ominous.
It was time.
The Chameleon had decided not to hide its true colors anymore.
'With the nature of his Aura, his Affinity with Dark Magic... His aptitude for it will definitely...'
The Undead Lich's index finger moved.
The two remaining Commanders fell to the ground suddenly, like lifeless puppets.
A Sign much more complicated than the previous ones was drawn.
"I call upon thee..."
