Hellborn Abyss

Chapter 16

The moon cast a ghostly glow over the night sky as Jisoo roamed the desolate streets, her new demonic form radiating an unsettling energy. Her eyes, once filled with anger and fear, were now darkened by the demonic influence that controlled her every move. The demon within her spoke with a voice that was both chilling and commanding, driving her with a relentless hunger for power and vengeance.

Jisoo's every step seemed to vibrate with dark energy as she approached the vicinity where Bianca was believed to be. Her desperation grew with each failed attempt to breach the protective barriers surrounding Bianca. The air crackled with magical wards, each one a barrier against her, designed to keep intruders at bay.

Demon Inside Jisoo: (Voice resonating with power) "You must kill first, Jisoo. Only by proving your worth through bloodshed will you be allowed to enter the presence of the Hell's Princess. The barriers around her are too strong for you to bypass without fulfilling the requirement."

Jisoo's hands clenched into fists, her frustration palpable. She tried to channel her demonic powers, but the barriers remained impenetrable. The demon inside her continued to taunt and pressure her, feeding her anger and hatred.

Jisoo: (Gritting her teeth) "How am I supposed to kill anyone when I can't even get to her? I need to be with her to fulfill this pact!"

Demon Inside Jisoo: (Darkly) "The pact is clear. Blood must be shed to break through the protections. Find a target, and make them bleed. Only then will you have a chance to reach the Hell's Princess."

Jisoo's eyes darted around, searching for a way to fulfill the demonic command. Her desperation to be near Bianca pushed her further into darkness. She roamed the city, her senses heightened and her mind consumed by the demon's demands.

In the distance, she spotted a figure wandering alone in the shadows. Without hesitation, driven by the demon's orders, Jisoo approached. Her eyes glowed with a menacing light as she prepared to act.

The figure, sensing danger, turned around with a look of fear. Jisoo's demonic form was a terrifying sight, and the figure recoiled in horror.

Jisoo: (Voice low and menacing) "I'm sorry, but I need to do this."

Before the figure could react, Jisoo's hands were already moving, her new demonic powers bringing a swift end to the unfortunate soul. The blood spilled onto the ground, and a dark, ominous energy began to envelop the area.

As the last breath of the victim escaped, Jisoo felt a surge of dark power coursing through her. The barriers around Bianca's location trembled slightly, hinting at the demonic energy now capable of breaching them.

Jisoo: (Breathing heavily) "This has to be enough. I've fulfilled the requirement. Now, I can finally get to her."

But the barriers remained strong, and Jisoo's triumph was short-lived. The demon's voice echoed in her mind, a grim reminder of the true nature of her situation.

Demon Inside Jisoo: (Coldly) "Your actions are not yet enough. The Hell's Princess is protected by ancient and powerful magic. You will need more than just one sacrifice to breach her defenses."

Jisoo's expression twisted with rage and frustration. She realized the demon's demands were far from over. Her path to Bianca remained obstructed, and the cost of her quest for vengeance was proving to be more than she had anticipated.

With renewed determination, Jisoo set off again, her mind focused on finding more victims to fulfill the demon's insatiable hunger for blood. Each step she took was a step further into the darkness, her humanity slipping further away as she continued her desperate pursuit.

The soft hum of the police radio filled the cramped, dimly lit room where Yoongi worked on his latest case. The desk was cluttered with files and reports, and a single desk lamp cast long shadows across the walls. Yoongi, focused and intense, was poring over the latest developments, his brow furrowed in concentration.

The radio crackled to life with urgent news.

Police Radio: "We've got a breaking report: twenty students found murdered at a local high school. The scene is chaotic, and investigators are still gathering details. The prime suspect is still at large. All units are advised to proceed with caution."

Yoongi's eyes narrowed as he listened, his heart pounding at the news. The scale of the crime was horrifying, and the fact that it involved students only added to the gravity of the situation. He immediately recognized the severity and the potential links to the recent surge of dark activities in the city.

Bianca stood beside him, her presence a constant and comforting shadow. To everyone else, she was invisible, a mere whisper of a presence that only Yoongi could perceive. Her expression was a mix of concern and resolve as she watched Yoongi's reaction.

Bianca: (Whispering softly) "This sounds like the work of someone who's desperate or extremely powerful. The pattern of violence... it's not typical. We need to be cautious."

Yoongi nodded, his mind already racing through possibilities. He knew he had to act quickly, but he also had to maintain his cover. He was working undercover as a Federal agent, a guise that allowed him to navigate both official and unofficial channels with relative ease.

Yoongi: (Determined) "We need to get to the scene before it's too late. If this is connected to the recent demonic disturbances, we might be looking at something much bigger than we anticipated."

Bianca: (Nodding) "I'll be right there with you, Yoongi. You might not be able to see me, but I'll ensure you have all the support you need."

With that, Yoongi gathered his gear and prepared to leave. He knew he had to maintain his facade and blend into the investigation as smoothly as possible. The scene at the high school would be chaotic, but his experience and Bianca's silent support would help him navigate through it.

As Yoongi arrived at the crime scene, the area was swarming with police and investigators. The air was thick with tension and the smell of blood, and the mood was somber as the gravity of the situation became apparent. Yoongi flashed his Federal credentials and was quickly granted access to the area.

He moved through the scene with practiced ease, observing the details and listening to the officers' reports. Bianca remained by his side, her presence a comforting whisper in his ear as he worked.

Bianca: (Quietly) "Look at the patterns on the walls. The symbols... they're not just random. This could be a ritualistic act."

Yoongi's gaze followed her directions, and he noticed the strange symbols etched into the walls. They were unfamiliar but carried an unsettling, dark energy. His instincts told him that this was more than just a brutal crime—it was connected to the supernatural forces he was investigating.

Yoongi: (Muttering to himself) "This isn't just about violence. It's a message, and it's tied to the darker side of things."

As he continued his investigation, Yoongi found himself more determined than ever to uncover the truth behind the murders. The presence of these dark symbols and the ritualistic nature of the crime scene indicated that Jisoo's actions were not isolated incidents but part of a larger, more dangerous plot.

Bianca: (Gently) "Stay focused, Yoongi. We need to gather all the evidence we can. If Jisoo is behind this, we need to understand her motives and stop her before more lives are lost."

Yoongi: (Resolutely) "We will. We have to. I won't let this go any further."
