Natasha, with sadness in her eyes, came to a garden and said,
"I am sorry. I can't save you, but at least I can take you back from their evil work and experiments on you. I can definitely save you from that."
Suddenly, she started to cry.
"Remember, when I am upset, I always came here, and you somehow found me and always tried to comfort me. Am I that dumb or cold-hearted to make you a sacrifice for them? It's my fault that I realized it too late. But now, I will repay you for everything I couldn't when you were with me. The last thing I want to tell you is… thank you.
At midnight, she came to the base. She knew all the secrets and could sense where Rabbi's dead body was. She tracked the power traces coming from Rabbi and reached the experimental area.
There, she saw Rabbi's body in a capsule , and beside it, another capsule where the Strange Man was lying. She tried to open Rabbi's capsule , but couldn't. Suddenly, she realized something terrifying and felt extremely uneasy. She immediately moved away from the place—and then the area exploded in smoke.
Another spirit appeared—a girl she is Lucy.
"Do you think we don't know about your next move?"Lucy asked.
Natasha immediately took out her daggers, enchanted with a wind spell.
"Why… why did you do this?"
Before she could react further, the Lucy launched an energy ball of completely black color. Natasha was shocked.
"You… you sacrificed yourself to the demons?" she stammered.
Lucy laughed.
"It's not like that. I injected the power of the essence of the True Devil into myself, even though it risks my life."
Natasha was stunned and was going to say something.
Before Natasha could say something , Lucy activated a force field so powerful that she kneel down and couldn't stand.
"You talk too much, you know. Let's end this already."
The place turned completely black, as if it were another world.
Natasha was trying her best to stand, but she couldn't.
Seeing this, Lucy laughed,
"How pathetic and weak you are. Even if you are with him—I mean Rabbi—how will you protect her?
And also, the Strange Man told me not to fight, but I will prove him wrong.
Now burn in the black flames."
Natasha started to burn, but suddenly, without any effort, she stood up.
The black flames—the most dangerous flames—couldn't even harm her.
Her eyes began to glow purple. Suddenly, one turned light yellow, and she reached a world where people were trying to kill a girl. The girl had angel-like feathers, and her armor looked blessed, but her face couldn't be seen.
The screams of dying people were so painful to hear that Natasha unconsciously screamed in the real world. Her scream carried such force that the spirit partner of the Strange Man couldn't stand her ground and was blown away.
Natasha stood there, unconscious.
All of a sudden, she summoned a sword—one part light and the other dark—and closed a distance of almost 500 km in a second, trying to kill Lucy.
Lucy was already unconscious and couldn't do anything to save herself.
Just as the sword was about to touch her neck, Natasha's other eye began to glow light yellow, and the sword also turned yellow.
The time froze and she teleported in her imagination.
And in her imagination—where she saw herself—she suddenly felt a warm touch.
When Natasha looked behind her, she froze.
She saw a girl—beautiful, yet different. She had two feathers: one representing light, like an angel, and the other representing a devil. She carried an immense aura.
She was none other than the angel who had destroyed the first barrier with her brother. Because of them, the God of the New World had to intervene and separate them, as they were each other's power and hope.
The angel smiled and said,
"To save my brother, I sacrificed myself to Lucifer. But I can't let you become the sacrifice of my brother.
From childhood, you always feared that you carried the essence of the True Devil—that you would become the end of creation. But the truth is, you had only a very small portion of the True Devil's power. The power you had from the beginning even now… is mine."
She gave Natasha more power.
"Sometimes, reality isn't what we are taught or what we hear. Reality can be far more dangerous. You will come to understand it slowly… step by step.
But for now, take rest. I have transferred all my power to you."
With those words, she disappeared.
Natasha returned to reality.
She felt as if her body was overflowing with immense energy—so much that she couldn't handle it, and she collapsed.
Later, she found herself in a prison. It felt like her mana and energy had been completely absorbed. She couldn't do anything.
She couldn't save her love.
She couldn't give his dead body proper peace.
She couldn't even take her revenge.
She felt useless—broken, shattered, destroyed.
She felt like she was nothing more than garbage.
In present time,
He comes to Prapti's apartment, who has been acting strange in recent days.
This all started from the time when she ran away in fear.
Rahat comes to Prapti's apartment, who has been acting strange in recent days.
This all starts from the time when she runs away in fear.
"But fear from what? That strange man? He seems like a nice guy to me anyway," he thinks while opening the door.
When he steps inside, all of a sudden, he sees a spiritual punch with full power coming towards his face.
It's Prapti—but luckily, spirit partners can't harm their partner, so he is saved.
Prapti looks at him and says sorry, then lies down on her bed again.
He says, "What is that, Prapti? Are you trying to kill me?"
She doesn't say anything, just gives a nod.
Her behavior is really unbelievable to him.
The one who is always full of energy and in a happy mood is now completely silent.
He says, "Did anything happen?"
No reply.
He doesn't know what to do. He returns to his apartment and starts to think about what actually happens and how she will become normal again.
All of a sudden, he hears a voice that he knows very well.
It's Scynthia, shouting his name from the balcony.
Without thinking, he goes to the balcony.
But no one is there. Instead of her, he finds a letter.
He takes it and sighs, "Again…"
But suddenly, his mind starts to work.
"I couldn't propose to her because I was afraid of losing her.
But I could have proposed if I had gotten the letter earlier…
And the letter was already here.
So in this case, the solution is very near—I just can't figure it out.
Could the solution be the reason she becomes my spirit partner? If I'm guessing right…
Then the solution must be…"
All of a sudden, Rahat looks at his symbol. It begins to glow, and for the first time, he feels intense pain.
He teleports into her imagination.
Her imagination is all about him.
He sees it… and blushes.
But all of a sudden, while exploring, he finds many weird paths, and from them, so many noises—screams of suffering—start coming.
It's unbearable. He is about to collapse… but Prapti saves him.
When he wakes up, he finds himself on the bed, and Prapti is beside him.
Without hesitation, he asks, "What kind of imagination do you have in your mind?"
She replies,
"I didn't want to let you know about this… but this is what I've been feeling since the moment I saw the base of that strange man. You said it was just a vision I had—but who is he, actually? Because all the suffering… it's coming from countless souls across endless paths. The screaming was so unbearable that I had to leave the base."
He starts to think about what exactly the Strange Man is.
