Yanai quickly noticed the change in Nina. "Nina, what's wrong with you?"
There was no response.
His heart clenched. From where he stood outside the altar's boundary, he could only watch helplessly.
Her eyes… something was wrong. It looked as though she was being controlled.
Does that mean the curse wasn't broken?
His fists tightened, knuckles whitening as he forced himself to think.
There had to be something he could do. There had to be.
Within the black void, Nina stood face to face with the crimson gaze.
"Do you believe me now, little one?" the voice echoed, low and chilling.
Nina's expression hardened. "Who are you? Why did you curse me?"
Of all the countless beastfolk in the world—why her?
And back then, she had only been a child.
Her eyes swept the surroundings.
Endless darkness. No ground. No sky. No direction.
Where… is this?
"Who am I?" The red eyes flickered with something strange, almost manic. "Hahaha… I am Thraxxis. I am the Beast God."
