Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 77

Drops of red blood ran down his fingertips.

It wasn’t a very deep wound, but it was mixed with the pouring rainwater, and it got red enough to look excessive.

‘This will heal soon.’

If it was Gabriel’s divine power. It was when Aria was relieved inside and let go of his hand.

At that moment, drops of his blood dripped on the necklace around her neck.

“Ah, my blood… I’ll wipe it off right away.”

He was very bewildered and grabbed the jewel in the shape of a drop of water dangling from her neck. He was going to wipe the blood on his sleeve.

But it was then.

A feeling he had before.

A strange sensation, as if the jewel was ravenously sucking the divine power with its will, spread rapidly throughout his body. That too, with the momentum to suck up all his energy and kill him.

“… kugh!”

It was incomparable to what it was back then.

Gabriel had no choice but to let go of the jewel due to the rapidly diminishing energy within him.

“What is this necklace…”

He was confused and muttered. After absorbing the divine power at will, when he saw the jewel shimmering in a divine light, a terrifying feeling came up all over his body.

The jewel became transparent, as it had never changed.

But,

‘Something different from last time.’

Something definitely changed this time.

Aria also felt that something unusual had happened and made a serious expression.

“It looks dangerous.”

Why? She looked at him asking for an explanation.

“Perhaps it was a structure that activates when blood with divine power is smeared…”

Gabriel had just come to a conclusion after sorting out the sensations he had been feeling a while ago.

“Obviously, if someone with less divine power than me had touched it, they would have just died. They would be drained of energy.”

This time, Aria was also surprised.

Died?

She had no idea because Gabriel didn’t look so painful.

‘When you run out of energy, you die.’

It reminded her of Carlin making a fuss, emphasizing not to pierce her core.

“I think it would be a good idea to formally ask Garcia.”

Gabriel did not continue his words, but his words trailed off in a muffled tone. And he stared into her eyes, as if in disbelief.

“Eyes…….”

Eyes?

Aria blinked her eyes. And as she looked around, she looked into a pool of rainwater that was glistening.

‘What, what?’

Her eyes, which were dark and vivid pink, were gleaming with gold. Just like priests with divine powers.

‘Golden eyes. A symbol of divine power.’

No way, this jewel…… Was it a jewel that absorbs divine power and made it usable by the wearer?
