Chapter 478: A Decision That Changes Lives
Pov Marcos (Carla's husband):
It's been two weeks since I last had a chance to see Carla, I can still hear her voice in my head.
"(No matter what, I will always love you so stop what you're doing, I can see how much this is eating you up inside Marcos.)" (Carla)
I know she can see right through me, I'm not able to hide anything from my wife, I never have been.
I know I can't hide what I've done to her, I know she can see how much I suffer having to do what I'm doing, but I can stand doing nothing just watching her die.
Tears
No matter what I have to do, no matter what atrocities I do, no matter what criminals I work with, I will do anything to be able to stay just one more day with you, my love.
Tears
"(Not that I should sell my soul to the Demon God!)" (I)
After so many years of doing the things I've been doing, one of the few gains that are important to me was my level going up, after killing so many monsters in the ocean, killing pirates who tried to rob me, and killing soldiers who tried to capture me.
I don't even know how many life or death situations I went through but it was all worth it, now I have enough money for a lifetime, I can buy slaves with powerful healing magic and alchemy knowledge to take care of my wife while we travel looking for a cure for Is it over there.
While thinking these things I go through Carla's bedroom window to see her one last time before getting everything ready for our trip.
"< Wave of Blades >" (I)
"< Consuming Shadow >"
As soon as I entered my wife's room I saw a Demon next to her doing something while she was sleeping, I tried to attack him immediately since his back was to me, but his shadow rises to form a wall that swallows my attack effortlessly.
"Stop your attacks now!"
"Argh..." (I)
I'm pinned in place by a bizarre Aura, I've never felt anything like this before, not even in the seas where anything can happen.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
I've met people of almost every race, from Demons to Sirens, I've met many who were stronger than I am, but I've never been so afraid before.
I don't even put it between this suspicious figure and Carla, by the power I felt before I know I'm doing something futile, but I need to at least try to protect my wife.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" (I)
"As I said, I was talking to your wife, unfortunately, I couldn't hear everything I wanted to know, but I heard enough to give you two choices."
"Choose carefully, because there won't be another offer."
"(I don't feel malice and his tone of voice is very calm as if this whole situation doesn't bother him.)" (I)
"Looks like I don't have a choice, right?" (I)
"You're right, you'll have to listen to what I say, depending on your choice, you may never see me again, so think carefully."
"..." (I)
"I want you to come work for me, if you do I can give you and your wife a new life in a place where no one will find you, plus I can have a way for your wife to get back to health."
"You can also refuse my offer, so I'm going to leave here and let you get on with your life, I won't bother you or your wife again."
"..." (I)
"Choose one of these options by tomorrow night."
"Wait! Can you really heal my wife?" (I)
"I cannot cure her, as you yourself heard from my doctor, she cannot be cured as her problems are caused by her weak body."
"But still the other way to bring health to her, that is by turning that weak body into a stronger one."
"You mean to turn her into a Demon or a Demi?" (I)
"Yes, I can do either one."
I look at my wife, her body is already so thin I can barely tell her apart from a skeleton, the doctor I pay to take care of her has already told me that she has been passing out more and more often, she may not have much time left.
"I don't need time to weigh in, I accept her proposal." (I)
"As long as Carla is able to smile and get out of this bed again, I would sell even my soul for her." (I)
