An Extra’s POV

All the Otherworlders were reluctant to accept Lucielle's solution, but based on the circumstances, and the thought of the greater good--not to talk of their innate desire for self-preservation--they had no choice but to agree.

Only Adonis seemed the most hesitant at the idea, but even he seemed like he would cave in.

"I think this is the best option at the mome--" Lucielle was about to say more, perhaps final words to convince the Hero, but was interrupted.

"You guys..."

Alicia's low voice caused everyone to slowly look at her.

What they saw caused their eyes to widen and their expressions to morph into that of horror. They had considered a couple of outcomes, but not this.

"... You're ignoring the most obvious and effective strategy..."

Alicia was holding a dagger, her two hands trembling as she placed it dangerously close to her neck. She was breathing very heavily, and perspiration glistened on her soft skin.

Still, the resolute gaze she gave made it clear she wasn't messing around.

"Let me just die. Everything will be over once that happens."

Adonis was the first to speak, taking a step forward as he yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Alicia, don--!"

~WHOOOOOOOOOSH!~

All of a sudden, a dark shadow was cast on the group, the shape of a monster. No one was fast enough to see it, since their eyes were on her, but since her gaze was high above, she could witness the emergence of the beast.

The Divine Beast had returned... and it desired her life.

Fear captured her as she witnessed the horrifying beast. It looked a lot taller and more brutal than ever before.

Its pure white flesh and incredible muscles seemed to swallow up the entire sky. The beast lacked eyes, but she could tell that it was looking straight at her.

Its two claws were outstretched as it leaped in her direction, though it was still high up in the sky. Once it began its descent, it was all over.

Alicia knew, at that moment, that her life had come to an end.

Her weak hands let go of the blade, and she awaited the brutal end that she felt was deserving.

'How many people have suffered... have died, because of me?'

She brought this monster into this world, and it had caused so much destruction in the short time that it existed here. Every second that she lived was only going to bring more people harm.
