Chapter 67 - The story of Haidi

Kiro and Camero walk through the forest , It had gotten dark and both of them were feeling tired .

-So what was that thing ?

-I have no idea , the only thing I know is that thing could shape shift .

-Like how ?

-It could take the appearance of other people , and it could change it's body form however it wanted .

-It was quite a terrifying creature , wasn't it ?

-Nothing I couldn't handle .

"I haven't been that scared in a while , just thinking about that thing makes my skin crawl ."

-Your leg seems alright now , It's hard to believe that a human possesses such incredible regenerative abilities .

-I'm the reaper after all , it shouldn't be that surprising .

-Don't get too cocky .

Time passes and they eventually leave the forest and sneak back to the castle . They find themselves in front of the windows that they sneaked out from .

-I'm surprised to see that the ropes we made haven't been found by the guards .

-Well , what are we waiting for ?

Kiro pulls out his two daggers and begins climbing the wall until he reaches the rope . Then he starts climbing until he reaches his room . Camero uses acceleration to reach the rope with ease then he starts climbing until he reaches his room too. Once that he reached his room , Kiro takes his clothes off and collapses into bed . His eyes become heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them . Kiro finds himself once again lying on the flowers of the endless field of the spiritual realm . Esgrieth was lying on the flowers too beside Kiro .

-You are here , I would like to thank you for ending that disgusting creature's life .

-By your tone I can say you didn't like it .

-I'm glad you put an end to her .

-Her? What do you mean by her ?

-That creature was once a human .

-How do you know ?

-I think we could skip the walking for this time , now sit and let me tell her story : Her name was Haidi , she was an elven young girl , with stunning looks , but she had one minor scar on her cheek . She didn't like the fact that she wasn't perfect . Eventually , she met a demon , a demon not from this world , and the demon promised her the beauty that she wanted , in exchange , she would give a single drop of her blood . Haidi agreed , and the demon handed her a cursed relic , which allowed her to change her appearance , and so she did . She began with removing her scar . Then she sightly changed her appearance , and her body . She began taking the form of other people , after she realized she could . She shifted into many forms , humans animals , until one day , she forgot her own face . She wasn't an elf nor a human , nor an animal . She was a monster now .

-Now that you mention it she said "I want her" , I'm sure that she was talking about you.

-Well , I was the demon who made the bargain , I was curious to see what would it turn into .

-As much as I want to blame you for what happened , It was her fault of accepting the bargain in the first place .

-I wanted to ask you a question too Kiro .

-What is it .

-The ruby on your sword flashed , and apparently , the demonic abilities worked , despite her divine relic .

-I'm not sure what happened here .

-Well , I think we should let this for another time , it's time for you to leave .

-Well , until next time .
