Chapter 13 - Interlude — The Day the Light Turned Dark

It was a Saturday night; various people were walking down a busy street.

Suddenly, the traffic light turned green.

A couple of elderly women were talking about an incident.

"Really?"

"Yes. It was last week."

"Good heavens. What terrible news."

"Indeed. Today's youth, I don't know what they're thinking."

A person approached near them.

"I don't know what their family must be going through. Truly, what could that boy have been thinking to kill himself?"

"Just imagine. Jumping onto train tracks."

At that moment, the light turned red.

It was time to cross the street.

A garbage truck was coming at normal speed, but out of nowhere. A strange shadow appeared enveloping the truck.

The driver was caught by the shadow, and it took possession of him.

He floored the pedal to go at full speed.

A young man was crossing the street at that moment and...

"Aaaah!"

A woman screamed because she saw a boy get run over.

Not only that, the boy was scattered in pieces around the area, and his torso was under the truck's tires.

But that wasn't all.

"Stay away!"

"What are you doing?"

In different places around the world, various incidents were happening.

Car accidents, planes, trains, ships, homicides.

At the very top of Tokyo Tower, a shadow was watching everything.

"More... I need more... dark energy... to... level up... and kill them..."

"The system... is in ruins... the others... will also realize..."

"This time... I will destroy it... the world... will enter its final phase..."

The strange shadow then directed its gaze toward a window of a house.

Inside, a girl was playing a video game.

"Aaaaahhhh damn you! Why is it so hard to kill that Bloody Knight!? This game sucks."

The girl threw the controller onto the bed and immediately lay down on it.

Then she checked her phone and murmured.

"That stupid older brother hasn't answered my messages for a while. Next time I see him, I'm going to hit him."

The mysterious shadow watched her, and from the depths of its black color, it showed a sinister smile.

"The cycle... will end soon... Illya."
