Chapter 340 Metamorphosis

Chapter 340 Metamorphosis

Esme saw something horrifying that day.

'Allie...?'

She saw her friends and family, just like she wanted. But... they weren't the same as she left them.

'Charles...?'

She found them to be positioned like beasts, mating in the most disgusting way possible.

'E-everyone...?!'

Their vacant pupils and drooling mouths were wide open as they absentmindedly moved their body to engage in activities they wouldn't normally get involved in.

Such vulgar actions... the filthiness of it all—Esme nearly didn't recognize these people as her family.

But they were!

Not all of them were here, but she could see a lot of familiar faces.

The bodies of the young ones she knew had been forcefully matured somehow, and their previously flat bellies were swollen.

"A-ahh... ahhh..."

Esme felt her mind was tearing apart.

She always wanted to reunite with her family, but now that they were right in front of her, she couldn't take a single step forward.

This wasn't her family at all.

They were... different... from how she remembered them. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Intruder!" Esme heard voices echo from all over the room.

Suddenly, sirens began to blare and a lot of guards began to rush in through the double-door at the furthest end of the room.

Some had blades, as well as other weapons, while some had staffs. They clearly seemed to be veterans, and according to protocol, they had their nose masks on.

Esme was too shell-shocked to utter any word.

She just looked at the entire scene that played right in front of her in bone-chilling horror.

'H-how... why...?'

Her eyes began to grow wide, and her racing heart couldn't go any fast, so it practically stop beating; for that moment, at least.

Then—

"No..."

—Her voice began to manifest.

~BZZZTZZZ!~

"... I should have expected this..."

~ZZZTZZZZ!~

"You're all monsters. Every single one of you." Esme raised her face and looked at the people who cautiously approached her.

They must have been quite worried due to the Elementals that guarded her.

If they took any step closer to her, Esme knew her protectors would easily get rid of them.

Or rather, living things that had become nothing more than machines.

'I... what did I...? I...'

Before Esme could complete her thoughts, she heard a sound behind her.

~BOOOOM!~

A familiar presence appeared behind her.

She was naked and absolutely vulnerable, covered in blood. Her shame consumed her as she knelt there, unable to look in the eyes of the man who had now appeared behind her.

Tears streamed down her eyes as she felt his gaze settle on her.

'I... I...'

Then, she heard his footsteps, how they advanced towards her.

'No! Don't come near me! I'm too...' She turned to look at him at that moment.

'... Too filthy!'

Esme had become the very evil she hated—killing and enjoying every bit of it.

She knew a smile was on her face when she cut up those men and women and crushed their meaty flesh and solid bones with her power.

It was terribly fleeting, but Esme had felt indescribable pleasure back then.

She was a horrible person.

"W-what... have I done?" She whispered as she looked at Rey.

His dark mask prevented her from seeing his face, but she was so scared about how he now perceived her.

Perhaps as a monster... or as evil.

Back when he had executed all the members of the opposition side, Esme only felt disgust and repulsion—towards him and the entire dance of violence.

But now... now it was her turn.

She was so scared to be gazed upon with such eyes.

If only Esme really knew what Rey was currently seeing through the lens of his sight.

He never perceived a monster.

All he saw was a beautiful gem surrounded by tragedy.

Thanks for reading!

Well, I certainly hope I didn't gross you out too much with the descriptions.

And if I did... that's good too.

You're meant to be grossed out!
