"[Ultimate Demonic Control]..."
'...No...'
That was my single thought as the demon king's grin grew far more sinister by the second...
Both Myria and I were unsure about what to do as a horrific scene began performing before us...
As his chant finally came to an end, an ominous black miasma started pouring out from the demon king's hand... It was disgusting, evil and it was heading straight for Scarlet...
"LEAVE HER ALONE!!!"
I yelled at the top of my lungs as the black miasma slowly made its way to the dormant Scarlet... It was scary... I could feel my heart contracting as I realized what this implied...
"STOP!!! PLEASE!!! STOP!!!"
I yelled with all of my strengths as tears began forming in my eyes...
'I can't... I can't... not Scarlet... not my friend...'
However... the demon king's grin only grew in amusement as he pushed even more miasma out of his hand...
'...No... I... I can't allow this...'
Without much more thinking involved I began racing at my top speed towards the demon king and the laying Scarlet...
Myria yelling in the background for me to stop... but I didn't care... I couldn't afford to lose my friend... I just couldn't...
But as I drew closer to the demon king and Scarlet tragedy truly occurred...
The miasma has been lingering over Scarlet but that was it... yet...
The miasma sensing I was drawing closer began to enter Scarlet through her nose, mouth, ears even closed eyes...
It was absolutely repulsive...
I was already at the border of desperation... when something finally pushed me off the edge...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"
Following the miasma entering Scarlet's body... painful and agonizing screams started coming from Scarlet's mouth...
In an instant... Scarlet's body began having a convulsion as it twitched in the midst of the clear pain she was in...
I no longer had the heart to keep approaching as I cried uncontrollably...
'...Scarlet...'
...
As the scene finally wrapped up...
Scarlet...
Slowly stood up...
...
...
...
But it wasn't her...
Her face...
Her eyes...
Her smile...
It was all clouded... opaqued... hazy...
Her happiness and cheerfulness, gone without leaving a trace...
I could physically feel my heart hurting as I stared into Scarlet's murky eyes...
Both, Myria and I stared in pity and sadness... as we both knew...
That wasn't Scarlet...
...
...
...
I just stared tearfully at Scarlet as she stared back...
