The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 133: Darkness

I’m getting ready to go get Zephyra it’s been some time but the distance isn’t that high.

I can’t sense her mana or locate her through magic, but the method I found to find her is pretty simple. In the past, I placed sharks within Zephyra’s shadow to protect her because I reduced the defenses of the village.

Now, even though I can’t detect her, I can still detect my sharks, which in a way you could say have "evolved" they’ve spent so much time in Zephyra’s shadow that they’re almost a part of her now.

And with that, I know exactly where Zephyra is.

"Lilith, accompany me with magic." I’m not going to teleport Lilith with me from this distance she can easily come on her own.

I begin to enter the shadows and soon I’m within Zephyra’s shadows. I look at her panties.

’White, as I had chosen before... who are these 5?’ I see her running while having 5 demons in protective positions.

’Someone is helping her... possibly a traitor.’ There was a relic in my room, I’m not sure of the effects, and I ended up breaking it in anger, but the relic clearly interfered with discovering that Zephyra had fled.

However, Zephyra has no allies, and no servants beyond being too weak to flee on her own.

I grab Zephyra’s legs through the shadows, making her fall. She seems surprised and a little frightened that something has grabbed her, and soon one of the demons comes to see why she fell.

I make the shadows become thorns, piercing him from all sides to punish Zephyra a little for her escape. I decide to break her legs, and in a simple motion I hear Zephyra scream in pain as her two legs are broken.

I emerge completely from the shadows, surprising the demons.

"D-Demon King" One of the demons says upon seeing me, only to be torn apart by sharks shortly after.

"I’ve come to get you, Zephyra," I say in a cold tone without a hint of kindness. Zephyra looks at me horrified, in the midst of tears.

"Did you think you could escape from me, Zephyra? Did you really think I wouldn’t find you?" I notice the bracelet on her hand, and I use the shadows to destroy it, soon feeling Zephyra’s magic return to normal.

"P-Pandora, it’s not what you’re thinking," Zephyra says, crying. One of the demons tries to flee, only to be killed by the shadow wolves I had hidden behind each tree in the area.

"It’s not what I’m thinking? So are you saying I’m stupid and that you weren’t trying to flee from me?"

"N-No, that’s not what I said," She can barely speak due to the pain. I notice that Lilith has arrived but has remained hidden without interfering.

’I understand well why Lilith doesn’t want me to severely punish Zephyra...’ I feel strange, this black goo that is visible in some places on my body gives me a strange feeling of freedom and nostalgia.

But I know it’s dangerous for me right now. I don’t feel I could control myself if it were to continue, and it seems that the more I want to punish Zephyra, the more this black goo spreads.

It’s as if something whispers to me that if I simply "freed" myself, it would be better. That’s why I know that if I start punishing Zephyra, I’ll slowly lose control and might end up killing her.

"Tsk... Zephyra, let’s do this." I kill everything that is alive in the area other than Zephyra and Lilith Nix Kaos.

"I’m going to mark you as mine, and you’re going to accept, understand?" She nods desperately, a mixture of fear, desperation, and pain.

"Now, Zephyra, listen carefully. I won’t do something worse only because Lilith asked. However... if I’m denied when I try to mark you, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold back anymore." My obsession rises to alarming levels.

This was the best way I found to restrain myself. I need Zephyra my love for her is like an addiction.

That’s why I need to keep her for myself. I need Zephyra as much as an addict needs drugs.

If I mark Zephyra as my partner, an unbreakable bond will form, and nothing and no one will be able to separate us. No matter how much she flees, she will never be able to escape me.

"Now say that you understand." She nods, trying to hold back the painful moans.

"Speak in words before I decide to cut your tongue off." My patience is at its limit since she fled.

"Y-Yes, Pandora, I will... I will accept." In her eyes, the hopelessness is evident. I guess she really thought she had a chance to escape me.

’I’ll find out who let Zephyra flee and make that person regret the day they were born.’ I don’t need to ask the others to investigate this. I know the traitor will reveal themself on their own. It’s better to leave it that way and pretend I don’t care.

I only need to be attentive to the signs and colors of everyone’s emotions, except for Elena and Lilith.

I don’t need to worry about Elena because she has a mark of possession and is incapable of betraying me. And I don’t need to worry about Lilith for two reasons: first, because she is a monster, and second, because she is the Saint, the being with the greatest connection to my mother, the goddess of the abyss.

’The biggest problem is this blind loyalty...’ Demons in general have a blind loyalty to me and my mother, which makes it difficult to find the traitors among so many loyal ones.

If the traitor hadn’t tried to make Zephyra flee, I wouldn’t even have suspected that there was a traitor among those who serve me.

’I’ll think about that later...’ I crouch down and tear Zephyra’s dress in the abdominal area. Zephyra is whimpering in pain due to her broken legs, but I ignore it. If it weren’t for Lilith, I would have torn her legs off instead of just breaking them.

I notice that she still has the anal plug I placed, which cleans any impurities so that I can use that part whenever I want. I guess she didn’t have time to remove it during her escape.

I bite my finger and begin to draw my mark, which is used on my romantic partners. It’s the same mark I made on Delphina. The pattern is very detailed, with the design made above the uterus. In the center, there is a heart, with a smaller heart on the right and left sides slightly above. Exactly above the heart is a crown, and around the heart there is an intricate detail that resembles an aura. Surrounding the heart area are chains that connect to the smaller hearts, going up to the larger heart.

With this, my mark is complete.

’She’s really going to refuse...’ My anger seems to increase and increase, while she hesitates to accept me.

"Hyaaa!" She lets out a scream of pain as the mark is carved into her flesh, and I sigh in relief as she has accepted. I really don’t know if I could have restrained myself if she had refused.

"Lilith, you can heal her. Besides, lock her in the dungeon. She should receive the same treatment as a common prisoner until I return from my training with the librarian."

"And Lilith... you and Elena will be responsible for Zephyra. She must never even step outside that prison while I’m not back."

I walk over to Lilith, who begins to walk towards Zephyra.

When I get close to Lilith, I say.

"Lilith Nix and Kaos, there is a traitor in the castle. Pay close attention to this if you discover who it is, don’t do anything, just inform me." Lilith Nix and Kaos nod their heads.

"And Lilith, if Zephyra dies, I’ll kill you and everyone in the castle except Elena, understand?" I say in a serious tone. Lilith nods quickly, while Kaos seemed momentarily frightened and Nix appeared somewhat excited by the threat.

Soon they go to Zephyra to heal her. I observe Lilith caring for Zephyra, while noticing that the black liquid has stopped dripping from me.

’I wonder what my true form is like...’ I’m still irritated, but compared to before, I’m much better now that I have absolute assurance that Zephyra can no longer flee.

’I should have marked her before...’ I wanted to wait, to mark her only when she loved me, but I realize that was a mistake. I should have marked her that night.

Zephyra soon stops moaning in pain after being healed by Lilith.

"Lilith, you can take Zephyra to the dungeon." I say to Lilith while teleporting back to the castle. No one other than Lilith interfered because they knew well that I wouldn’t listen to them.

And Elena even came to try, but I expelled her from the room because I wasn’t in the mood to hear anything.

I soon appear in the throne room. I sit on the throne while thinking about what to do. I can take care of Zephyra when I return from my training.

"Haaa..." I sigh, the whole situation has left me mentally exhausted.

’What was that thing I saw...’ While I was torturing the maids for their failure, that black goo emerged directly from my body. During this event, I found myself in a strange darkness.

It wasn’t bad, but it was strange. I saw my vision differently, as if everything had become easier, as if doing everything, seeing everything, and using everything had become a simple process.

But although simple, it was also too complex to understand. All I can say is that it was like catching a glimpse of what I truly am.

"Violet, what do you think about what happened?" I ask Violet.

"I think it was bizarre. Momentarily, your body changed, and it seemed... somehow frightening? And look, I’m not the type to be afraid of anything," Violet begins to speak, but doesn’t lose her arrogance in saying she’s not afraid of anything.

"How was it from the outside? My vision became strange in that moment," I ask, trying to get a better understanding of how this experience was both from the inside and the outside.

"It’s hard to explain. That black goo wasn’t coming out of your body it was more like your body was the goo, and there seemed to be more eyes as well. And for a moment, it seemed like you had an immense bodily extension, as if your body was the very room that was covered in that goo."

"Hmm... Thank you for the help." I have no idea what my true form is like, but it seems to be frightening, even though it was just a glimpse that lasted a maximum of a few seconds.

"Hmph, you should be thanking me on your knees for answering your question."

"... Don’t exaggerate, Violet."
