"It can't be..." The snake hissed in disbelief with his eyes wide open. The silhouette of the Abyss Artist was distinct as if he were actually here.
"Hey, long time no see. I'm sorry, but I honestly cheated you a little." The Abyss Artist smiled slightly, emitting an unnatural kindly manner as if he'd met a pet he'd long ago lost to an accident.
The snake was an unusual beast that Wain had met by chance. He was supposed to protect Overion and subsequently Last Light from intruders because he possessed extraordinary strength, yet he did not even know who his master really was.
"What are you talking about...?" Snake asked, shaking his long tongue.
"I am not truly your master, for in the fact that silhouette you remember was a doll of darkness created by me." The Abyss Artist shrugged in a careless manner.
