[Alex's POV:]
I….was able to control myself and didn't lose consciousness when the Curse came into effect.
How and why, I didn't know. When I concentrated my Soul Energy into the curse seal, knowing full well what consequences I would be facing, I continued to mutter a single thing under my breath,
'If I lose control, Cela dies.'
Amanda's fear allowed me to realize the horror I could create by my untamed self. I could lunge at anyone that possessed a grimoire, with the intention of devouring their life support.
As such, my mind continued to repeat a single thing that might have worked against the overwhelming greed of the Curse.
However, I knew it wouldn't last long, and that's why I went for the kill right away, rather than letting the beast half dead for further interrogation.
"Hmm~hmm~hmmm…"
And…there was that. The strange humming sound of a woman whispering close to my ear, like a melodious rhythm, trying to calm me down.
