The Author's POV

Chapter 842

"Haa… haa…"

I could barely hold my breath at the moment. Something seared through my chest as what remained of the core crumbled from my hands and reached the floor beneath me.

Pain gulfed my entire being as I stretched my hand which was flickering in and out of existence.

The toll that the laws had taken on this body was quite large, and each second felt more agonizing than the other.

"I… haa… haa… I need to go…"

There wasn't much time left. I could tell with just a glance that my time in this body was almost up, and that it would soon shatter.

But that was fine.

There were only two remaining Pillar Masters.

Just two more…

All I needed to do was get rid of them. So long as I did, my goal was accomplished.

'No… there's still one more thing left.'

"Huuu."

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Indeed, there was still something else that I needed to do after getting rid of the Pillar Masters.

Something far more important, and more meaningful to me.

…and for that.

C… Crack!

A crack formed on the space in front of me as the Pillar started to shake simultaneously.

Rumble—! Rumble—!

Using all of my power, the very air inside of the Pillar started to twist, and the shaking grew more intense. At the same time, the crack in front of me started to expand, and I turned my head.

It was there that my gaze met with Ryan's. The two of us looked at each other for a couple of seconds before I nodded at him, and mouthed.

'Take care of what happens next.'

"Wh… where do you think you're going!?"

I felt something grasp at my arm just as I was about to leave. When I turned my head, I found myself staring at Emma.

Her eyes were burning with a certain something that forced me to stay rooted on the spot.

"Tell… me…"

Every word that came out of her mouth seemed to be a struggle for her. She had a pale complexion and appeared to be on the verge of passing out, but even as she was clinging to me, her bloodshot eyes were focused intently on me.

"I know you know…"

She started, her voice hoarse.

"Y…you've been keeping a lot of things from me, and while I never asked you because I respected you, and what you've been trying to do… I… I can't take it anymore. I'm losing my mind, and…" Emma ruffled her hair, her voice turning feeble, "I…I need answers. I can't take it anymore."

"…"

I stared at her without saying anything. I couldn't do it, and just as I was about to say something, she interrupted me with a question that stopped me in my tracks.

"Who… who is Kevin?"

She ruffled her hair once more.

"I… he keeps appearing inside of my head, and I… I just can't take it anymore. It feels like I know him… It feels like he should be someone important to me, but why… why can't I remember him?"

Her voice was laced with desperation, and when she looked up at me, she bit her lips until they bled.

"You know… don't you? Not only that… you also know what happened to my father, don't you? Why won't you tell me? P… Please tell me."
